It might be... I don't know how long a location takes to commission after installation is complete, but half of the pylons were installed today, and the installation team seems geared up to get the rest done tomorrow.
The 8 Superchargers are all partially installed!
Yes but this is the first sign of progress in over a month so it's good to see they finally started working on it again
Yes. They are definitely v3. You can tell by the main white Supercharger cabinets. Also you can currently see the liquid cooling system and fans in the base at each stall. Those aren't in v2 Superchargers.
What's the point of V3, now that they've dialed back charge rates (and regen)?

Is this something an SR+ would notice? I can only charge to 170 anyways, but anything above 130kw is awesome for my experience.
Yes, being that the power in a V3 is not paired/shared with another charger you’d get max power every time you plug in. The SR+ used to only be able to pull 100kW but one of the last updates bumped us to 170kW which can make a difference of about 5mins I’ve read. Not something I’d turn down ever while road tripping.
now of course to pull 170kW you’d need to be pre-conditioning en route to the SC and probably have been driving for around 20-30mins prior to that. So many variables for max charging but it happens, even the bigger batteries in the LR & P’s hit the full 250kW on a V3 for a few mins before it tapers off.
Introducing V3 Supercharging
I drove by the charger yesterday, doesn't look different than the last photos posted, but it seems that things are probably going to continue this week. I'm getting hopeful that this is almost done, but I'm not a supercharger expert.
Work ongoing today.. the last two cabinets have been installed and it looks like wire is being pulled to some of the stalls. Tesla employees on site too, maybe starting commissioning? I am going to go take photos after they end work for the day.
The gas station manager said that their goal is operation before the end of the month... Friday might be cutting it too tightSweet. I happen to be heading up to the mountains at the end of the week, so if you could tell them that I need it by, say, Friday afternoon, that'd be great.
