I see 72kW stations and I see 150kW stations. But my experience so far has been pretty bad. The Carlsbad supercharger is rated at 72 but typically is lucky to deliver 32kW. The Westlake Village station was a war zone with cones blocking a 1/4 of the faulty charger spots and then another 1/4 of the chargers were laying on the ground or looped around the charger to indicate they have a problem. I’m currently at the Oxnard “150” charger getting a whopping 36kW or 109 miles/hr.
Why does Tesla advertise hi kW but in reality delivers way less? Is the 150kW rating only valid when one of the 20+ stalls is in use???
I have also noticed that the button overlay material on every cable I have used is cracked around the button. I wonder if this is causing a water entry point leading to failure?
I love the idea of the Supercharger but it seems like Tesla is going to have a hard time keeping up with capacity.
I hope they figure this out for all of our sakes...
I would love to get educated on the issues above!!!
