The address is a shopping center at the intersection of 71 and 290. It has to be a supercharger. There are no hotels there which might be installing a destination charger, and anyway permits for 240V circuits for destination chargers don’t usually specify it’s for Tesla.Sadly, not sure that this one is actually a supercharger or just a destination charger.
Permit is very short on details at the moment, hopefully it will progress at a reasonable rate and we can see.
I know where it is and it would be nice if it were, but all the other austin area SCs are already on the Tesla map, including the one in Sunset Valley which is really close to this location. The description isn't usually as vague as it is on this one, the language appears to be more singular rather than multiple.The address is a shopping center at the intersection of 71 and 290.

Two possibilities that i can think of. First is that it's just a simple mis-entry. The form/application for these filings may just have a Yes/No-type checkbox for private vs. public funds/lands and whoever entered it might have checked the wrong box. Second idea is that it could be a partnership between Tesla and someone else using public funding for universal EV chargers where Tesla is going to install the superchargers and do the electrical infrastructure work and the other group will do the universal EVCS. We've seen this type of partnership at a number of locations over the past few years though it's more common when Tesla is partnering with a municipality than with a private party, e.g. Supercharger - Pasadena, CA (LIVE 26 Nov 2019, 24 urban stalls)The TDLR filing on this one is a little different than I've seen before. Generally, these charging stations are privately funded. This one says "This project involves public funds, public land, or is a Federally funded roadway project"
Not sure if that's an error, but if not, where would these funds come from?
The information in the permit (design review) makes it pretty much conclusive. It says it's for a "Tesla electric vehicle charging station" and the design firm is listed as GPD Group who is one of the main engineering consultant firms that Tesla uses for supercharger design work. And in TDLR filing, the point of contact is Sarah Honeycutt who is a supercharger team member for Tesla/GPD and the listed RAS is Jeff Gutknecht who Tesla has had do the accessibility evaluations for all their Texas superchargers.Sounds like it could really be a supercharger
They have been planning this since we moved here in 2005. I'll believe it when I see it. They just did the kick off party stuff and there are some new signs on the side of the road so maybe that means something?Great long term location. Going to be a mess in the short term.

It looks to me that they want information about the removal of some parking and it isn't clear if they will have adequate parking or not based on the site (which shouldn't be a problem because that parking lot is HUGE. They require more process in the area because of the Barton Springs zone. Which to me is funny because that shopping center is probably the worst for not recharging the springs. They do have some weird pavers etc... over by the corner where pluckers is because I don't think they let them pave the entire lot. So they'll probably be under more scrutiny if the construction causes any more runoff. I live in the recharge zone and it's a PITA for permits. They make contractors jump through a lot more hoops and I feel like the inspectors are more likely to measure more to make sure you aren't off on any of your measurements when trying to close permits.Looks like Austin wants more paperwork because of Barton Springs zone.
