What was "funny" was the fact that Atlanta has been on the Coming Soon roster for months and Chattanooga is not even on the SuperCharger map until end of 2015.

Interesting. Half of my travel is between Nashville and Birmingham (190 miles, no SC access planned along route) and half between Nashville and Atlanta (230+ miles). Trips to Birmingham would be no problem with an overnight charge, and there are some CHAdeMO stations on the way (Huntsville, AL and Lewisburg, TN) that would make a there-and-back trip reasonable.
Trips to Atlanta would be a bit of a stretch without an intermediate charge, although again there are numerous CHAdeMO stations along the route. The SC station in Chattanooga is pretty ideal for a mid-trip charge.

I called the airport yesterday to get an update. I was told they are absolutely on schedule to have it completed by 15 August. No construction has started yet.
Hey Doug! I drove over there a few days ago. It's just 4 miles from my house. I spoke with the guy in the parking booth who pointed out the yellow lines on the pavement where the power company had marked the transmission lines. So far that is the extent of the activity. I called the airport management and the lady I spoke with indicated "...everything is still on schedule for mid-August as far as I know."
Got an update as well today. Tesla is still waiting on the permit. Like others have said, they're still aiming for 8/15 though because its in the contract.
"Spoke" (emailed) to someone at the airport and they are still waiting for the permit to be approved.
Just got confirmation that the permit has been approved and they will be soliciting bids got the work next week. They're planning to have construction completed by the end of July (that will be a tight schedule though).

looks like Chattanooga was just added to the "Coming Soon" SC map. Nashville has been added to the 2014 map as well.

IT HAS!!! Just came from there.
Thanks to Chipper for the pictures. Also below are some Google Maps images so you know where the location is in relation to the airport. Please see the red highlighted area on the satellite version. The airport address is 1001 Airport Rd Chattanooga, TN 37421 and this should get you close enough until its on the navigation.
I stopped by the Chattanooga Supercharger location yesterday evening and they've begun to dig the trenches. However the security guard thinks they may have hit a snag and I'm not sure if it will cause a delay or not. It appears that they have run into a large concrete slab underground which the security guard believes is protecting a sewer tank. Again not sure if this will cause delays or not. The concrete slab is next to the red dumpster in the 5th picture.
