I think I saw this too. Was this the post which said stateline Nevada? I looked it up and Stateline, NV is a city up by Lake Tahoe.

Supercharger - Primm, NV

Here is a link to the TM Forum page. Look for posts by PatT, the second of which more or less clarifies that the "Stateline" refers to Primm, which confusingly was formerly known as State Line.
I will be going by there in a week so if Lloyd isn't able to report, I can give a status. I also want to see the big solar array that is reportedly nearby.

Oh sweet, that makes sense. Looks like Primm is finally getting an SC for those windy days going up to LV.
Just read a Facebook post in our Las Vegas group that says, "8-bay Supercharger under construction in Primm. Looks to me like all of the underground work is done; the pylons are in; and some empty equipment cabinets are on site (not yet installed).Will this be the first S/C in a casino parking lot?
Nearest superchargers: 118 miles by road to Barstow; 42 to LV; 112 to Kingman via Nipton." The following pics as well.

Wow, somebody got to this before I could even drive home and put up the photos. Anyway, here are a few more, from earlier today:
And the nearby Ivanpah Solar Power station, which I don't believe will be supplying any power to the Superchargers... but it's nice to dream anyway!
Now, witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational solar power station!

The desert is pretty photogenic. Not in a Lawrence of Arabia sense, but at least the skies are usually blue!
Beautiful pictures! I'm on the opposite side of the country, but perhaps someday I will make a trip out to see all this.

This Supercharger will also alleviate the need to stop in Lost Wages. St. George is about 165 miles from Primm with only no elevation issues.

I came through Primm heading south on Sat, Oct 18, and I stopped at Whisky Pete's to checkout their J1772, which was working and not ICEed. I missed this construction because Whisky Pete's is off the south-going side of I15 and Primm Valley Casino is on the north-going side.
I also was impressed by the Ivanpah solar array. I had seen it from the air on flights into Las Vegas, but this was the first time I had seen it from the ground. It is making a huge difference in peak solar production for CA. On summer mid-afternoons peak solar in CA is now approaching 10% of typical max load.

Good idea. I'd like to actually go to a S/C ribbon cutting just for once. Tried to make Kingman, but it didn't work out. If anybody gets wind of the date, please post. I'm following this thread with daily updates, so unless there's an unfortunate schedule conflict (odds are there will be), I'll be there!
