But it was still on & off from that point on. V3s are proving to be inefficient in the cold.
The fact that a bunch of the new V3 Superchargers installed on the TCan weren't working when that severe cold snap hit a couple of weeks ago. And apparently some of them still aren't working properly. Perhaps Tesla doesn't have much experience with -40 temps.Where are you seeing that V3s are proving to be inefficient in the cold? Is this maybe because of lack of preconditioning?
They've had superchargers throughout Scandinavia and the northern US for years so it's not like this is their first experience with cold temperatures. The v3s have been mediocre everywhere so they are definitely having issues with the rollout. North Bend, WA has temps above freezing the vast majority of the time and probably hasn't gone any lower than -5C this winter and its performance has also been far below expectation. It's mostly worked with some consistency but the charge rates have been inconsistent and have probably averaged about the same as a v2 supercharger.The fact that a bunch of the new V3 Superchargers installed on the TCan weren't working when that severe cold snap hit a couple of weeks ago.

I don’t believe those are V3s though. I’m only aware of the V3 charger near Vegas for the US. The V3s in the praries are the only ones I’m aware of besides that, so I dunno if they got as much testing in cold as they needed.They've had superchargers throughout Scandinavia and the northern US for years so it's not like this is their first experience with cold temperatures.

So I think it's fair to say that the v3 rollout has been crappy, but saying that it's due to cold weather is just speculation. I'm sure the cold isn't helping, but not convinced that it is a primary culprit.
The new chargers across northern Ontario are also all V3s.I’m only aware of the V3 charger near Vegas for the US. The V3s in the praries are the only ones I’m aware of besides that, so I dunno if they got as much testing in cold as they needed.
Do we know if these have suffered performance issues in temps below -20?The new chargers across northern Ontario are also all V3s.
I actually spoke with the lead hand they are V3 cabinets.I don’t believe those are V3s though. I’m only aware of the V3 charger near Vegas for the US. The V3s in the praries are the only ones I’m aware of besides that, so I dunno if they got as much testing in cold as they needed.
But I think this is referencing the statement from Plus EV saying that there have been SCs in Scandy countries and the US for years and then the respnse from Vawlkus. Surely the SCs installed in Norway several years ago are not V3?I actually spoke with the lead hand they are V3 cabinets.
I agree that v3 is the issue moreso than cold temperatures. My point is, they do have experience in cold climates. And the v3s have performed poorly even in warmer climates.I don’t believe those are V3s though. I’m only aware of the V3 charger near Vegas for the US.

You are moving the goalposts here.

Just to clarify what I meant: Tesla May have experience with cold temps, but the V3 cabinet use a newer, liquid cooled charging cable. I have no trouble believing that that new feature may be an issue that Tesla needs to work on, as it could easily cause reduced charging rates in climate/temperature extremes.You are moving the goalposts here. I was responding to this quote from you: "Perhaps Tesla doesn't have much experience with -40 temps."
And like I said before, the v3s have also performed poorly in North Bend WA, Las Vegas, etc. It's a v3 issue more than a "Tesla has no experience with the cold" issue.
