We might have to wait till spring/summer. It’s been widely speculated that it needs a *hot* battery instead of *warm* (think 40C+) and that might just not be doable based on how much mass needs to be heated in the cold. Also, I wouldn’t expect peak 250kW to be much outside like a 5% to 15% or maybe 20% SOC range...
I also saw a YouTube video from out of spec motoring where his car (m3) wouldn’t keep charging once the ramp up past 160kw for some reason.
I am currently here charging. Max I ever got with a Model S 75 was 82Kw, changed 3 different outlets. Has anyone experienced this at North Bend or something wrong with my battery? Gentlemen next to me with a Model S P90 maxed out at 102kw. I thought the S could go till 150kw at this V3 supercharger.
My S 60 has 65,000 miles is almost 5 and peaks around 75-85 kw at a low SOC. It lost about 25% of its peak super charging capacity from new. My max range new was 204, now it is 196. I now just don't charge as high knowing there is a backup further down the road. My main complaint is having to wait for a spot to open up.
I got up to 206 kw on my p3d. I pulled in with 9 miles of range left.

I'm charging in my X75D and I haven't seen it go over 70 kW. Granted it's only 42 degrees outside.
The stall closest to the entrance has been damaged, looks like it was most likely backed into but there is also a big snow pile next to it so it could have been the plow.
I'm not sure how to officially report it other than trying to call the support line - which I've never had any luck with.

Another pic of the damaged stall:
I wonder if that happened when there was enough snow to cover the curbing and the car just backed right up against it. Still must not have been the best driver, but I could see that happening with those lower profile curbs and a large amount of hard packed snow...
I charged again today and my S-75 never went beyond 82Kw, it was 45 degrees outside. Any S owners getting more thank 100kw at this supercharger?
Seems like a pretty normal speed if your battery isn’t hot. Are you staying locally?
I got well over 100kw there on Friday 1/24/20. I can't remember exactly, but it was something around 150kw. I was on about 10% SoC when I rolled in there. It was one of the chargers to the far left as you are facing them.
Now that's a jaunty angle! Maybe the snow plough or whatever made that pile of snow beside that charging slot did it.

After my car sits in a ski lot for many hours, it takes a long time to heat up, especially when it’s only being driven downhill. Are you sure your battery is warm enough to receive V3 charge rates?
Snoqualmie Pass to the North Bend Supercharger is 20 miles downhill. There's no way your battery was warm enough for full speed Supercharging. I'd be surprised if you get over 100 kW even with preheating for 30 minutes before leaving the ski area.
@bbthechange reported getting over 200 kW in his Model 3 back in January, so the station seems to be capable of providing the expected speeds in a properly conditioned and capable vehicle. Many S 75s can't charge over 100 kW anyway.

What model of car? What is the SOC? Driving from Mercer Island to Snoqualmie and back to North Bend, I would expect about ~45 kW @ SOC of ~50% in my Model S 60 from 2015.
