Actually, I feel like I'm finally figuring some things out. I found the link that shows you where the new and under construction supercharger sites are.
When a new Supercharger site appears on Supercharge.info I check to see what Interstates, US Numbered Highways, Auxiliary Interstates (spurs) and (for some locations), state highways it's close to, where close is essentially a 10 mile diversion or less. (I may tighten my standards at some point in the future).
I track how the sites change distances between Supercharger locations.
I also record the type and name of the site hosting the Supercharger. Here I just had copied some data and failed to update the host values so I posted an incorrect host. At malls, I put the host mall, even though it might really be through an agreement with an anchor tenant, as an anchor tenant may have an agreement that gives it more control of the lot.
(Note that I don't generally do alt routes of US Numbered highways, or if I did I would treat them as state highways. US-25W is part of the main network.)
Welcome to the world of the Supercharger nerds.
The changes tab shows all new information.

It is most definitely a new world to me, and I'm having a blast!When a new Supercharger site appears on Supercharge.info I check to see what Interstates, US Numbered Highways, Auxiliary Interstates (spurs) and (for some locations), state highways it's close to, where close is essentially a 10 mile diversion or less.

I'm specifically looking at the supercharger that's in Powell TN. It has a yellow triangle with the number 71 (days) in it. I assume that's the amount of days that construction has been going on at this supercharger site. What have you found to be the average length of time that these things are up and running after they start construction? It seems every time I drive by it just looks the same with half the chargers behind a fence and half the chargers just sitting there. Not much work seems to be getting done. Do they need to have a transformer installed there? Is that the delay, do you think?

Yes, well, specifically the amount of days since someone reported construction starting.
You can see in the Construction/Permit Status Days chart: supercharge.info
Powell, TN is pretty squarely in the middle, though that is current status I believe.
This does often happen, especially towards the end, as it often depends on the local electric utility to install transformers and or approve of the installation before it can "go live".
Transformers are a significant delay at the moment. It seems to vary depending on the utility. Maybe some worked more on-demand, while others have a stock ordered in advance. Once the transformer is there, it seems to be relatively quick to opening.
So, on Supercharger threads you'll often see questions about whether the transformer is in place. So many pictures on here of empty concrete slabs.
You can try calculating things using data on the Changes tab. You can show 10,000 and filter to USA and copy the resulting data and use it to calculate time to opening.

Appears to be a transformer
Area much more cleaned up from the last visit

Found the permit listed in Knox Co Records as 7545 Barnett Way (Topside Construction) instead of 7549 Barnett Way, which is what is listed on supercharge.info. It's just a little different from what is listed on Supercharge.info.
Is it worth updating? Couldn't find a way to do it
Just askin'
going to drive by this am to check on status and will update

Heading to Knoxville this weekend to see the Vols. Was hoping this would be operational. I find it interesting it isn‘t show on Tesla‘s ”Find Us” map but the targeted new Supercharger in Alcoa has been listed for quite some time with a “Q3 2023” target and has had no movement. Wonder if they decided to change the location but never updated their info?

Both locations make sense to have. I think if you go forward in time long enough you'll see both actually in service.

Just went by to check. No change
I think this site has been abandoned
FWIW it's still got the icon on the voting for new superchargers map as a coming supercharger site.
Guarantee you it goes live before the superbowl Sunday, February 11, 2024. (random date I picked, I mean that is the actual date of the superbowl, but the superbowl is random in context)

Yes! @Chuq
It's only just a Splitter! but I want to take another one off my list. I only remove it when it's marked open on Supercharge.info.
Thanks for sharing the photos. It's not yet showing in the app or Find Us yet, but the stalls are illuminated, and presumably the person who shared the photos was actually charging.
