Supercharger - Joplin, MO
Tesla is actively working on getting a second Supercharger in Joplin at the Kum & Go at 5002 S Main Street, and it's scheduled to open in the first quarter. I don't know whether or not this site will remain open for much longer -- thread on the way Moderator note: The first 40 or so posts in...

I hate to rag on this location again, but the potholes on the road leading up to the supercharger were some of the worst I've ever seen on a paved city street in a first world country. Be careful as you approach. Autopilot isn't going to see the 4-8" deep holes in the road. Also, the construction work going on at nearby Jim Bob's BAR-B-Q adds to the post-apocalyptic feel of whatever it is that is going on with the hotel renovation (?).
On the bright side, I didn't notice any sharp implements on the ground around the supercharger like I did on my previous visit which is 3-4 years ago now.

This location has been removed from Tesla's Find Us site, and the direct link to it's page no longer works.
@Chuq , they might've shut down the "creepiest Supercharger"!
As @PLUS EV noted, this is the old Joplin Supercharger. The new Joplin Supercharger is discussed here: Supercharger - Joplin, MO - 5002 S Main St

Both this site in Joplin and the new site on S Main St are still listed as active on the in-car navigation system. I just checked right now. I wouldn't remove/deactivate the site quite yet until we get an on-site report or it gets removed from the navigation system and/or the phone app.
As of May 17 they still have power but I agree with the previous post that they likely will go dark soon. It feel like you are at the end of the Earth here. Yikes.
Also, the road to access this location is closed for repairs so you have to wind your way through the Sam's club parking lot to find the one route in.

Did they actually shut down that access road? You can see my previous post where I commented that those were some of the worst potholes I had ever seen on a paved road in a first world country. If they shut it down to fix them, then that is a good thing. They could have swallowed a Model 3 whole (okay not really).
Yes from Rangeline Rd. The best access is from E 32nd street. That part of Hammons Road is in great shape.
Yeah, finally there fixing the pot holes. Called city admin 6 months ago and they said no one owns the MLK road - really.
FYI charger is still operational at the closed hotel - May 29 @ 10PM.
Hopefully they keep it open, the amenities are much better. I have been using this charger since it opened in 2016. Not much at the Kum and Go one
This one is dead. Chargers are there, but no power.
Farewell Joplin. Glad I was able to visit before they turned the lights out.
