FYI to anyone interested in a Tesla sales showroom / service center in Savannah, there's a thread for that here now:
Savannah, GA Service/Sales Center
Savannah, GA Service/Sales Center
New thread created for the new Pooler site, and I've requested that the above three comments get moved over to it (but keep this comment here please):

Supercharger - Pooler, GA
New location for Savannah Supercharging and opening soon. Located at Parkers on Pooler Parkway, off I-16. If you are on I-95, take I-16 West, then take first exit. Very convenient, but again, not open yet.

I wasn't sure how to categorize it, but I thought it was worth mentioning here. Yesterday I noticed a new (non-Tesla) charging installation going in at the Pooler Tanger Outlets near Panda Express. A construction worker told me it was for the Rivian Adventure Network. While early on it was teased that Tesla and Rivian might join forces for their charging networks, it seems that door has closed. At any rate, I wish Rivian well and hope for their success in the marketplace.
That area is really high traffic. It is great. It is great if you are already planning to stop, but I'd try to avoid it otherwise.

Agree busy location but I sure wish Tesla had built there too (versus the airport). Over the last 6 years, we always stop at the Panera Bread in our NC to FL trips at least 4x per year.
Interesting to hear that Rivian has started their buildout with locations similar to Tesla.
Thank you Enginerd for that informative report! I have now added this to Plugshare, and stole your two photos: Rivian Pooler GA | PlugShare
(Note: I am fully aware of the Tesla-Plugshare policy on not listing Supercharger sites under construction. This is a non-Tesla site that E spotted.)
This old location has been permanently closed. It makes sense. Tesla was paying rent for the spaces, and there are now more local alternatives. It was opened in January 2014, so was operating for just over 10 years, just beyond their normal lease agreement period.
Looks like the Chattanooga airport location opened September 2014 for those following along...
Thank you @ItsNotAboutTheMoney ! Closed as in not appearing in Tesla's in-car navigation anymore? Stations powered off? Ripped out already?
I've made a checkin on the Plugshare listing about it, but most of you all will see it via its absence in your nav systems. Although, people are creatures of habit, and may go there anyway and get a big surprise ...

I saw it on Supercharge.info and checked Tesla's findus site, which doesn't show it any more.
I'll miss the bamboo gardens. I won't miss the long waiting times and the broken stalls which always seemed to be an issue here.
There were no alternatives on this stretch of road on my first trip down the I-95 in March 2018 - now there seems to be a Supercharger at every other exit. Time does not stand still.

Confirmed: the Savannah airport supercharger is being disassembled.
Brings back memories. Bought a M3 SR+ in 2019, wife was a sceptic and we had to drive from Charlotte NC to Orlando Florida, Wifes comments "Well this wasn't close to the interstate and look, we have to wait" Well it was about a 5 minute wait, but it was also quite social back in the day. That was the first and last time I have ever had to wait for a supercharger.
