If you look at the updated supercharger map (Supercharger | Tesla Motors), as of today, there is a new location that seems to be on the same latitude as Tejon Ranch and Barstow, in between them. Any speculation on this future location? I'm thinking it's Lancaster or Palmdale, CA, (AKA Antelope Valley). Any smart folks in the know with better ideas?

I've heard from reliable sources that there is a Supercharger on the way to Mojave, CA. Could that be what you are seeing?
I looked at that dot and I think it lines up with Mojave on the map, which between logic and Cottonwood's little birdie friends makes sense.

It looks like there might be a dot around Inyokern, which would make it reasonable for people from Orange County or the Inland Empire to charge before heading on up 395. Inyokern does not offer a lot to a passing traveler, but then neither do Quartzsite or Green River.
I would have lobbied for the brewery at Indian Springs, but that would have been too close to Mojave for those coming from the San Fernando Valley or from the Central Valley.

This thread seems to have gone off subject. Tesla website is still listing Palmdale as coming soon. Target opening in 2018
Exact timing and specific location may vary. Map shows site is located at E Palmdale Blvd, between Sierra Hwy and 8th Street E. Anyone have any further details? Palmdale, CA | Tesla

Man, you got me all excited reopening this old thread that there was news on the Palmdale supercharger.
No info that I am aware of. Folks usually find them via building permit searches with their city or city council meetings, etc. I dont think you can search Palmdale permits online, although I think you can search Lancaster ones (if it ends up in Lancaster)

Suspect site at Palmdale Target parking lot. Fenced construction looks aweful lot like Supercharger install. Pictures from bro-in-law coming soon as he will survey the site tomorrow and snap some pics.

Sorry to report, after inspection it appears to be a wholly Target, Inc project. Doesn’t look like a Supercharger install. Oh well...

There might be hope! Looks like some construction right next to the current chargepoints at the Target. Anyone feel like going to City Hall to dig up permits?
Possible, but IMO it's more likely that is just to fix whatever has been holding up the activation of the ChargePoint stations. However, there's not enough info from the picture alone to say anything either way. I did see that this construction has been taking place here for a long time, seemingly without much progress. It's visible on the Google Maps streetview of the area from May: Google Maps
It might be a Supercharger.
1st: Electrify doesn’t have plans for one of their stations here (usually they are installed at a Target store)
2nd: it doesn’t seem that 2 ChargePoint DcQcs would need autotransformers.
3rd: Superchargers have autotransformers at all their locations, and as you know, there is currently a Supercharger shortage of some sort, so this site must have only got hold of the autotransformers.
Still, more photos would be required before I am to add this site on Supercharge Info.

No, I don’t know. Source for your assertion?
I suspect the construction work being discussed here is related to the ChargePoint installation.
No, but you can see this particular piece of equipment being installed with the ChargePoint station during their original build in the Google streetview from November 2018: Google Maps
