Houston uptown - perhaps?

Good find.

I'm guessing "downtown" for this.

Google Maps to the Wal-Mart mentioned:

A few months ago while chatting with a Tesla Galleria store employee, I heard the "Galleria" location was going into Uptown Park. See: Google Maps for the location.

Have not heard anything else, but if this is where the SC will go, I hope they build it big enough as I suspect the high concentration of Tesla's in the Galleria + Lunch/Dinner/Coffee/etc. spots nearby will make it a bit more of a destination SC than a plug-in-and-watch-paint-dry SC like Channelview or Childress.

Your probably correct. It's kinda in the middle of the coming soon pins on the Tesla page. But closer to downtown.

Here is the current "coming soon" list from the Tesla web page. None of the dig check ones really match.

Austin, TX - Downtown | Tesla
Cedar Park, TX | Tesla

Plano & Laredo have opened, so the list is 23. 2 shorter from Dec 5 (#1193). Nothing new added.

Hehe, Austin's gunna have 3...
FYI: Cedar Park is really just far NW Austin (but don't tell them that).

That would be AWESOME! That whole general area is undergoing some nice renovations as we speak. I do agree with you that the area has a high potential to be ICE'd. The urban Superchargers in Plano are located on the 3rd floor of a parking garage and always available to use.

I would personally see more overall benefit hitting the out of the way spots first. College Station, Fredericksburg. Those enable long distance travel. Of course, everyone has their own priorities

Stafford would be an alternative to the proposed Sugar Land location. I suspect they won’t find an inexpensive location near the freeway in SL proper.

WALMART SUPER CENTER AT THE INTERSECTION OF AIRPORT AND INTERSTATE 69

I think it's interesting that Tesla could now be installing Superchargers at Walmart, because it was also recently announced that Electrify America was going to install chargers at Walmart.

There are an awful lot of Walmarts.

WALMART SUPER CENTER AT THE INTERSECTION OF AIRPORT AND INTERSTATE 69

The permit says work is to begin on April 11. I am near this location and will swing by when I have a chance to see what's happening on the ground.

Be nice to know, but probably nothing much. I believe it is only a preliminary evaluation survey. Many of these at various locations in the past.

Walmarts are generally good location. Well lit, lot of parking spots, and guaranteed to have fast food joints next to it.

I actually just went by. No evidence whatsover of any activity. I suspect they would build it in the side parking lot where very few shoppers go. The front lot is always crowded - no room for an SC.

The site itself has limited options: there's a McDonalds inside the Wal-Mart plus a Jack-in-the-Box, and a Chik-Fil-A in the same parking lot. Waffle House next door. There is a large multi-use development under construction across the street which promised many retail options but that looks to be at least a year away.

Again, before you get too excited, this was just a request to mark utilities to evaluate the site. Often nothing ever comes of it.

Yesterday there were stakes with pink streamers posted near each of the visible transformers.

Another Wal-Mart site in Houston having utility survey for a possible supercharger— 13750 East Freeway (I-10 just inside Beltway 8). This is less than 5 miles from the Channelview supercharger.

LCR1 · May 24, 2018

Brenham would allow me to make a straight shot home at 75-80. Currently limited to the speed limit to make it in a 70D

Coming soon list. There are 2 with the recent update (since my post above)
