It's a 32 stall I did a typo in the title but I can't edit it for some reason and I got the wrong year. FFS!

Moderator note: Fixed title.

Looks like it's behind the shopping center, so wouldn't be obvious to those on the main road, and there's a cinder block/concrete masonry unit wall between the back street and the parking lot.
Google street view on the major streets in the area is from Jan 2024.
This link is back on Buaro St., and shows the supercharger under construction by EVI.
A little further North on Buaro St. and street view goes back to May 2022.
Inside the parking lot street view is even older.

This is located in the north west corner of the shopping center. Between Buaro Street and the El Super Market. Easy in and out on Buaro Street. If heading north on Harbor Blvd. Buaro is a very short distance north of Garden Grove Blvd. with an unprotected left tun lane

I decided to give this location a try since I have yet to test Supercharging on my new S. I was at 30% and it stayed between 40-45 kW the entire time. I don't think I was sharing power with anyone else (no one parked next to me) but I did notice a stall nearby had a D letter so perhaps A through D all share the 250 kW. My previous Model S (2018 75D) could only reach 120 kW on a good day but it almost always charged at 40-50 kW, too.

That is not typical at all. Maybe something was wrong with that stall. I would tr another.
Also you don't share power* and can park next to someone for these.

*Technically each A to D have about 360-ish kW between them but pull power from all the other A to D 's to make up for it. Only share power when the whole site (and this one is big) is really busy and collective pulling all the kW's (well mW's in this case)

Good to know. It's my first time visiting a 250 kW location let alone having a vehicle capable of handling that much power input. I'll try another one next time I'm low to see what happens. It's too bad Tesla doesn't provide a mechanism to easily report stuff like this.

I returned to this location and was able to get 252 kW briefly toward the start of the session so I guess my issue posted on March 12 was more of a fluke, thankfully.
