Brand new supercharger sites seem to start with a sort of slow charge rate for the first couple of weeks.
As mentioned above though if you arrived at 60-70% your charge rate would make sense at any station .

I stopped in Belleville yesterday.

It was around 50% both times. Is there a place I can get detailed logs? I can take a look if so.
So if my math is correct (it has been quite a while since high school). 777 km\hr = 12.95 km/min x $0.40 c/min = $0.03 c/km. This means at $1.30 litre for gas you are getting the equivalent of 43.3 km per litre or 2.3 litres per 100 km. Not bad for a pay station. I imagine that charging at home off peak would be significantly cheaper, but I think these super stations are great.
Configured and still waiting for my M3.

To further prove that suspicion ..
'10 of 20 available'
Actually, there are 20 of 20 available.

Yes still good compared to gas.
However I think you'd have a hard time get 777km/hr average pace of charging over anything longer than a couple of minutes.
I was about 7 min. into the charge when I took this snapshot. I don't know what it looked like before this but it would have had to have been similar in order to have already reached 225 km of charge.
So that means 5 of the cabinets aren't communicating. You can kind of guess as to the actual occupancy but you will never be completely accurate. For example, if it says 5 out of 20 are available, the odds are that roughly 10 stalls are available.
I don't see that happening anywhere else though. Wonder if it's just while it's new they're giving it some breathing room this way. Dissuaded people from coming while it's the still early days.

It's happened at quite a few locations. In fact it still does. I follow most of the supercharger threads and I've probably explained the whole "cabinets not communicating" thing in 5 or 6 different threads over the last month. As an example, Arlington, WA showed 14 of 18 stalls in use constantly for its first few months of existence. Which was hilarious because it's one of the least used superchargers in the Northwest. No idea why they did 18 stalls there but I'm not complaining. Monroe, WA was similar, not actually busy at all but was showing 10 of 14 in use or something. Eventually they seem to work out the kinks. I think it helps if people call the hotline and complain
Got it, thanks for the info. I've found it pretty accurate everywhere else here (Toronto area) so this is for us, an anomaly.

Ha. Holy fork! Never saw that one before. Is that the fork used at the Last Supper? Makes me think of Monty Python. In Search of the Holy Fork.
I don't tend to follow supercharger threads in other countries, so I'll take your word for it. I was referring to the GTA where I tend to drive.It's happened at quite a few locations.

Super handy location. Also very busy. No, seriously, the traffic in/out of the mall is pretty heavy.
Well, okay, I saw another Tesla driving out as I came in. And there was a non-charging Model X across from us.
Very quiet location at night. Took a nap while charging on the return trip. Only part of the lot that is lit at night is the Superchargers. Fortunately the roof is very well tinted.
