Re-opening the "where will it be" discussion. My opinion remains unchanged, there will be one in West Memphis Ark, one in Batesville MS and one in Jackson TN. That being said, if any on this thread don't live in this area, two interesting things have happened. One is that Memphis landed an Ikea, which they are building right now, at exit 16 on I-40 (Germantown Parkway, which is on the eastern edge of Memphis proper). And, 4 miles further East at exit 20 (Canada Road) there used to be an "outlet mall" (really wasn't, was just knick-knack shops) has just been bought and is being developed into upscale suburban shopping. Either would provide a great location for East-West charging readily convenient to shopping and food, and are in safe areas. They are both on the East periphery, and I-55 goes down the West side, so neither is terribly convenient for North-South. Lastly, I-269 is mostly complete and US-70 is being renamed I-22; a charger at the intersection of I-22 and I-269 (intersection doesn't exist, yet) will be reasonably convenient for travel in all directions, IMO. That would be in or near Byhalia, MS. I would bet then once Tesla finishes the initial build-out and they are looking for in-fill locations, this location will get one.
