Looks like I attached the wrong picture… The originally attached one was us charging at the V2 in Mobile, AL and not the V3 in Montgomery, AL station. Whoops.

It's got to be a V3... no way you get 194kW on a V2. Maybe 148-150 at the best of conditions.

OH, absolutely knew it was a V3, just did a double take due to the lettering.

Just dropped by on the way back from lunch and charged without issue. I'm thinking it's a communication issue of some sort as I charged up a bit and it shows $0.00 for the cost. Go figure!

This post in the Model 3 forum indicates Montgomery might be down as of yesterday:

Question About Supercharger Stations being completely down
Hey there, We are new to Tesla and new to EVs. We had a trip planned from Atlanta to Destin, fl. We made this trip once before in the Tesla where we stopped in Montgomery, AL where we would only have to make one stop. We get close to running out of power but we can make it with just one stop...

Thank you...I thought I was the only one who hates the Birmingham supercharger. Can't wait to skip it on my trip tomorrow

Note that there is a second Birmingham area supercharger in Mountain Brook now.
Anything that allows skipping the Birmingham supercharger, gets my vote...I hate that supercharger
I stopped at this Montgomery/Target supercharger a few days ago. Would someone local please speak with the Target managers to get a trashcan installed!! I'm disappointed at the Tesla drivers who have just dumped their trash around the superchargers... really guys, come on...thats not classy.

I agree. I was there yesterday morning and was surprised how trashy it looked. My next stop was in Newnan, GA and while I was there a groundskeeper came by pickup up trash, cleaned up some mulch that had spilled into the parking spots. Big difference in the up keep of the two sites.

It would probably not be up to Target, they are just tenants. There is probably a separate maintenance crew organized by the property owner.
I have started carrying a box of the small wastebasket sized trash bags for my family's soda bottles, snack bags etc. and I pick up around the charger if I have time.

Thank You for leaving superchargers better than you find them. Very responsible, I wish there were more folks like yourself.
Bjorn Nyland did a video several years ago complaining how people would leave trash at superchargers and they should do better. I asked him in the comments section if he picked up the trash he showed us. He got all bent out of shape and was very rude to me. Clearly I hit a nerve.
Once again I commend you for being part of the solution and not part of the problem.

I've noticed that at this SC. Same with many of the ones in Atlanta. Just trashy. Definitely sad.

We visited Montgomery just a few days after it opened on our way to the beach. Sucks that it’s already trashed in such a little amount of time.I've noticed that at this SC. Same with many of the ones in Atlanta. Just trashy. Definitely sad.
For sure. Not that it excuses it, but every SC should have a trashcan and washer station. Ideally, gas stations will switch to electric with canopies, chargers, tables, trash, washer, and pull-thru charging for towing.

Agreed. Our new SuC actually has a trash can! I was shocked to see it. I think the crux is, if it’s in a parking lot not of a specific business, who’s responsible for maintaining it?

That's the problem, it's up to the host not Tesla. As DblOSmith points out we need dedicated facilities that include charging much like GridServe in the UK.
I think this is one of the issues that divides EV owners. I only SC when travelling out of town 4-6 times per year, so I am willing to pay more for a well-maintained charging station. But if I was a SC-only user, I might be focused on getting the lowest cost, because I have to pay every week.
