Suspected New Supercharger Locations
We are virtually certain that the Miami, FL - Coral Gables Supercharger for 2018 is currently being installed in the parking lot at the new Coral Gables Service Center under construction at 3851 Bird Road, Coral Gables.
Coral Gables Service Center under construction will have a Supercharger Station collocated there in the parking lot.
It has been reported in the media that the West Melbourne Supercharger for 2017 will be going in the The Hammock Landing shopping center, located west of Interstate 95 on the north side of Palm Bay Road.
We believe that the Aventura Supercharger for 2017 will be going in the new Parking Garage that was recently built as part of the new expansion at Aventura Mall.

The Altamonte Springs Growth Management Director confirms that the "Coming Soon" Altamonte Springs Supercharger Station for 2017 was requested by Tesla to be located in the Renaissance Centre shopping center near Whole Foods at SR 436 & E. Altamonte Dr., Altamonte Springs. However, while expected to be approved, it hasn't been approved yet due to landscaping delay.
We suspect that some of these new locations will be expansions of existing Supercharger Stations. The new Ft. Myers, West Palm Beach and Plantation entries on the list are likely candidates for expansion of existing locations.
Urban Superchargers
A number of the "Coming Soon" Supercharger Stations appear to be located in urban settings. Tesla has just come out with a new Urban type Supercharger design. They have a new post design that occupies less space and is easier to install, making them ideal for dense, highly populated areas. To increase efficiency and support a high volume of cars, these Superchargers have a new architecture that delivers a rapid 72 kilowatts of dedicated power to each car.

Please keep on the look-out for signs of construction of these new "Coming Soon" locations. If you see a likely candidate for a Supercharger at these locations, please takes some photos and send them to me at lfchanin@verizon.net.
