Racers, start your engines! Wait...ummm, you all want to drive through here in EVs, right? So, I guess... Racers, get ready to stop your engines!
I found Tesla's electrical permit application (389-20-000147-ELEC) for a supercharger at the Rite Aid on US-20/US-395 in Hines, OR--it's just barely outside Burns' city limits, hence the Hines address. The application was submitted on 2020-05-06 and so far doesn't show any further activity. It doesn't explicitly say it's for a supercharger, just Tesla "charging stations". But there's indirect confirmation in there to convince me. 1) It lists the new service as being over 1000A -- which doesn't make sense for a small station with only L2 charging. 2) One of the attached documents shows the direct applicant actually being someone from GPD Group on behalf of Tesla. GPD are Tesla's consulting engineers on almost all of their supercharger builds in this region.
What: Tesla plans to build a supercharger with an unknown number of stalls (but likely 8 V3) at the Rite Aid just outside Burns, OR.
Address: 629 North Highway 20, Hines, OR 97738
GPS (guess): 43.573066, -119.074657
