@IT Geek et. al. the spots are updated! Hopefully, ICEd is a thing of the past.

• Spots are painted green to further differentiate from regular parking.
• Text on spots indicate "EV CHARGING"
• Additional signage to indicate no parking (prohibited "P") except for charging vehicles: "EXCEPT FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES CHARGING".

Q. What kW does Tesla Model 3 (or others) receive from urban Supercharger?

From a LR take home test drive I received 44 kW with 181 range (over 50% SoC)

The times I've used it with my LR at various SoC, I receive the low 30s kW (34 kW as I'm enjoying breakfast in Mariano's).

I know there's complicated math and physics involved with computing the rate, but I'm wondering why it's so low for me every charge.

Is low charge rate at Supercharger an issue I should raise with Tesla?

@Dre78, if the battery in your Model 3 is warm (it didn't soak in the frigid temps overnight) and you have less than a 50% charge, you should be able to get the full 72 kW power of an Urban Supercharger. If you're at 10-50% charge and there are any dots showing limited regen, your battery is not warm enough to accept the full power of the Supercharger.
