Juvenile, yes certainly .. and the date of the post might have had some connection to the content. I think that might have been missed

I'm headed through Statesville on Saturday, and will take a look to see if there has been any progress.

Went by the proposed Super Charger site across from the multiplex theaters just of I-77 in Statesville on Saturday. No sign of any site preparation or construction. I am not sure why Tesla picked that site other than being close (though hard to get to) I-77 and one exit from I-40. There is a Hampton Inn and a Courtyard if you use this as an overnight stop.

Maybe they're waiting until the I77 Construction Project is complete
.....I don't envy folks living by Lake Norman....huge traffic jams even on weekends....

But it is really as much or even more for I-40 as it is for I-77

I agree. Tesla has been slow to put much emphasis on I-77. The SC in Charlotte is actually on I-85 north of Charlotte, and is a time consuming and traffic filled jaunt away from I-77.
Tesla is also going to build a SC in Greensboro and Raleigh, allegedly by the end of the year. The locations have not been announced, so it isn't clear whether the one in GSO will be on I-74, I-40, I-85 or I-40 and I-85 combined. With the existing SC already on I-40 and I-85 combined in Burlington, and existing SC's in Asheville and Wilmington, once the Statesville SC opens, even the folks with an S60 should have no problem crossing the state on I-40, even in the winter.
Tesla seems to be emphasizing the I-40 corridor. With the completion of the proposed SCs in Ark and eastern OK later this year, it will be possible to drive most Teslas from Wilmington, NC to just outside LA on I-40.
Currently, even with a S75, the trip from GSO to Asheville can be a bit dicey if it is really cold and windy given the 2000 ft. rise in elevation.

I said this, because on I-77 you can easily make Charlotte to Wytheville. Agree, Burlington to Asheville is dicey.

They could also be going to Florence next. There is a pin on the Tesla map there also.

Re: Florence, missed that (could skip Santee, yeah), do you know if they have pulled a permit yet? I believe Statesville has one pulled so perhaps better odds of being next.
