A new Supercharger is likely under construction at the Route 7 Travel Plaza (291 Danbury Road) in New Milford CT. In this article from patch.com, it says the owner of the new travel plaza planned to include a Tesla Supercharger as part of the amenities. Lo and behold, I was able to find a permit for 8 V3 stalls in a permit issued July 27th. Will add on Supercharge Info.

I'm kind of confused by these off-the-beaten path, far-from-the-interstate Supercharger installs up and down US7 in CT and MA. No one is doing a multi-hundred mile road trip that needs supercharging via this route. If you're going from CT to VT, you go up 87 or 91 and save several hours over Rt7.

This is now in construction! Rich went there today and took some pictures and I posted them.

Money.
Affluent New Yorkers have homes there, and Tesla likely used travel data to select some of these weird spots.

Thanks for sharing these pics!
By the way, it's kinda fun to see there are several differences between Tesla's SuperCharger map and supercharge.info's map that I just moved over to this new thread:
Supercharger - Several coming to CT in 2021

Nobody other than Tesla knows why a gray "coming soon" pin shows up on Tesla's supercharger map. Many are there as coming soon for years (although perhaps the validity of those coming soon pins is evolving given Tesla is now suggesting that info could be updated quarterly for at least some of the pins). The supercharge.info data is all crowdsourced by people across the world that devote time to searching online records for permits (blue pins) or evidence a site is under construction through visits or other verifiable evidence. So the supercharge.info map will have fewer pins, but the data tends to be "real".
EDIT: I should add... thanks for posting these two maps side-by-side. It is interesting to contrast the two. And also really great to see the progress that has been made in the Northeast in the past year, with signs that 2021 will have lots of continued progress!

I stopped by today looks like everything was complete. pulled in and hit the button on the charger and my charge port opened but did not start charging. just a blue blinking light. it doesn't show up on the tesla map yet. the charge port opening is a good sign I think any day now!!
This is now open. It's in the Sunoco parking lot. 250kW max.
Thanks for this thread. Going through NM in a few weeks and I was hoping this would be finished in time.
The listing is live on the Tesla site, but I don't know why they call it "Torrington" in the URL? New Milford, CT Supercharger | Tesla

Well, round here we "affectionately" call it New Mildew. Maybe they just combined the two.
