Went past this afternoon. Definitely a prefab install and looks to be a 16 stall setup with the first 12 being prefabs and the last 4 being “traditional” install.

No they will be 250KW. At least that has been how the other prefab installations have been so farAre these stalls going to be maxed out at 150kw?
The cables were the thinner, water-cooled type of 250kwThe reason I asked is because the other superchargers I have seen have a little sign on top that says '250KW'. But in these pictures, none of them have that sign. At least, not YET..........
Tesla stopped installing 150kW superchargers about a year ago, maybe more. (Except for repair scenarios). If you look on supercharge.info, you will see that almost everything new globally is 250kW. Also note that Tesla does not put 250kW signs on superchargers, except in a few very rare cases.PLUS EV, I have to ask what is your source of information that these are 250KW? I am not doubting you, but was wondering how you know this information.
the "instant" superhchargers like these are 250KW- and you can tell by looking at the cables they are the thin water cooled varietyPLUS EV, I have to ask what is your source of information that these are 250KW? I am not doubting you, but was wondering how you know this information.

Another way to tell the 250 kW installations is the square white box that serves them. Four stalls to a box. Completely different from the old cabinets used for the 150 kW installations. I find that is the easiest way to identify the V3 sites, having followed the construction of several very closely, including the exact wiring pattern used (for example: Mountain Village CO).the "instant" superhchargers like these are 250KW- and you can tell by looking at the cables they are the thin water cooled variety
I have been to dozens of V3 chargers, and not a single one was marked with the little 250kW sign. Best to learn between the different types, ESPECIALLY at the sites that have both V2 and V3's.The reason I asked is because the other superchargers I have seen have a little sign on top that says '250KW'.

3) If on a mixed site and you are in an older Tesla that does not support V3 charging rates, PLEASE do not block those of us that can take advantage of V3 rates. A real pet peeve of mine when a P60 comes in just ahead of me and takes the last V3 stall, and I have to go to a V2 stall.
Yes true, all sorts of exceptions. I do talk to and praise drivers of older models pulling in and purposely looking/going for V2's first. They get it. On my coast-to-coast trips, it can add up in needlessly lost time. I still stand by if you can't charge at V3 speeds, have courtesy and at least look for a free pair V2 stall first, even if V3's are open.I wouldn't worry about it so much - in this case, they may be doing you a favor. You will usually get a higher charge rate from an unpaired V2 charger, than you will from a V3 stall if all the other stalls V3 stalls are full (the exception being if the other cars connected to the V3 are collectively drawing a low rate).
Even old Model Ses are better off at v3 though, especially now that someone can plug into your paired v2 and drop your charge rate. Really don't think any expectation of behavior modification is reasonable here.Yes true, all sorts of exceptions.

Illustrating another exception, my last trip to ABQ sitting at Buckeye absolutely alone, not another Tesla in sight:
V3 = 37kW max (~18% SOC), also tried another V3 stall same thing
V2 = 64kw max
