Ok, it seems like there is the "hazy vision" of Tesla maps, the "conclusive proof" on Supercharge.info, and then ongoing contstruction that isn't listed anywhere. I work in Princeton, NJ and several people have told me about the new Tesla dealership going in behind the Porsche dealer off Route 1. You can see the white building with red accents but there isn't any info about it. I thought it would show up as a destination charger on Tesla's map.

Construction is noted on supercharge.info as a construction cone.
The new service center is not going to have superchargers (and therefore not listed on supercharge.info), and is not considered a destination charger either. They'll likely let you charge if you really need to, but that's not what its therefore.
Spoke with a Tesla rep at the KOP Mall this afternoon (8/28/18) and she confirmed Tesla chargers wiuld be put in at the KOP Town Center by the Wegmans. Expected timetable is EOY ‘18 or early ‘19. There are also several Blink chargers by the upper level Nordstrom and Dick’s Sporting Goods entrance.

That's great news, if it's true. Town Center is probably the most accessible location in the area and is a much better location than at the mall itself. Of course I am pretty skeptical of anything that a Tesla rep says as they seem to typically be less informed than we TMC dwellers.

My wife and I visited the town center for the first time yesterday and we were just saying, "This totally looks like a place that would offer EV charging. How come they don't?" Glad to see that they will.

From what I know (nothing) this is stalled due to PECO. I can't be sure of that though, just an uneducated guess.
During a recent walk encountered a long-time power engineer who finished his career at PECO. He seemed surprised when I pointed out that PECO's territory is a Supercharger "desert." He cited EV / power grid integration research work at University of Delaware. V2G Home .
I have a small update. I stopped by the Tesla store in the KOP mall and talked to a salesman. He confirmed that the new Supercharger location would be in the Wegmans town center but he also said the Orange garage (the original location) would get a bank of 220 outlets too. They're just waiting on the mall to put the new outlets in.
Saw that too and got excited!
Seems like that would be a perfect location to get a quick charge in. Fingers crossed they start construction soon.

Any further update on getting the superchargers installed in King of Prussia? End of year is rapidly approaching.
Delay might be a good thing as supercharger V3 will be some time in 2019 and double the current capacity (supposedly). Also, the early charger locations seem to not take into account the massive 3 rollout. I work across the highway from Wegmans so I'll certainly keep an eye out!
