New (temporary?) signs are up at this supercharger.
Has anyone experienced issues with any of the charging posts here (Issaquah Supercharger)?
The first time I visited (day after it opened) one wasn't working (2 or 3kW rate) and had to move to a different post, which charged at normal rate.
This past weekend I charged, and experienced "middling" speeds (even taking my current charge level into account).

Q. Is this the first SC with a 40min limit?
Be funny if Tesla had that coded so that after 40min
-it stops charging
-you get idle fees in a few minutes

This may just be a holiday weekend thing. The same, or similar, signs have recently been put up at some other superchargers in other locations as well. So, this might be Tesla's way of trying to get people to move through the charging a bit more quickly so that the increased demand and congestion during one of the biggest driving weekends of the year is eased. You know, "Please have some added consideration for other drivers" signs.

These signs have nothing to do with Tesla owners. These signs are to allow ICE cars to park in the Tesla charging spots. They aren't trying to get Tesla owners to move through faster.
Really??? A "40 minute CHARGING maximum" sign is for ICE cars? Interesting interpretation.

No worries. What with that sign so closely resembling Tesla's "General Parking w/time limit" parking signs, that was a very easy mistake to make. Plus, some more visible signage discouraging cars from ICEing the charging stalls would certainly be warranted during this weekend/season as well.Sorry -- off to practice my reading and observational skills.

I heard there's a lot of same signs especially on crowded SCs. My friend in Bay Area told me that.
One of the charging stations is in need of some maintenance. What’s the proper way to report this?
Update: I called Tesla Roadside Assistance to report it.
A few observations from this week:
Noon - 5/6 of 8 slots full
4/4:30pm - 7/8 of 8 slots full
(those were true multiple days this week)
7-8am today - Was empty the whole time I was travelling there, and when I got there around 7:40ish I was the only one charging (and somehow still did a crap job of backing in)
Was surprised to see it so busy at the lunch hour & then again before evening rush hour. Even more surprised to see zero people hitting it early in the morning.

Checked in Yesterday (thursday) at 1:15pm. 2 spots open.
Only got 20kw even though I had driven for 40 minutes so the battery was warm. (It was the previously busted super charger). So maybe avoid the spot closest to the transformers.

70%. I would expect it to throttle from 120kw at a regular SC but not an urban SC.
According to ABRP you should only see 20kw around 90%
