Thanks for the testing! So was the other car charging the whole time during your test? If so, I guess it is still possible that either the unit that the first car was using could be powered or the third unit could be powered, but not both. Doubtful. Probably they just orient the pallet such that two can be easily accessed and activate those two. The pallet can be set up like the ones we have seen so far, or with the two units on one side facing the parking so that two cars can back in.I did a little experiment (to the extent that I could) on this triple urban Medusa supercharger monster at Santa Ana tonight. There was one Tesla already plugged into one of them. I tried plugging in to each of the other two. The first one gave me a consistent 50kW throughout my stay. I started with a 22% SOC and it stayed at 50kW all the way up to about 85% SOC so I don't think it had anything to do with the other car being plugged in. It most likely lost some power somehow on the wiring from the main transformer or cabinet. I had to park really awkwardly to plug into the other one and it had no power whatsoever, so whoever said that only 2 are powered was correct.
Seeing as there was no line and I was only getting 50kW, I felt comfortable staying a little over an hour despite the 40 minute signs. I wasn't in too much of a hurry and wanted to eat at CPK which is on the far side of the mall from the superchargers, so that's about how long it took anyway.
Just tried another one of these at Indio, CA and it's the same setup. This time there was no one else at the supercharger so I was able to be more thorough and plug into all 3 with a ~35% SOC. The one that is inconvenient to plug into is dead and the other two are delivering 50-51kW max. Obviously I opted for the full superchargers which were delivering over 100kW.I did a little experiment (to the extent that I could) on this triple urban Medusa supercharger monster at Santa Ana tonight.

Because the utility transformer is usually not placed until all of the construction and wiring is complete.Not sure why they don't do a temporary install of these babies in proposed Supercharger locations to help out while construction is going on.
I don't know enough about it to know WHY it is done this way. I imagine the power company doesn't want to go through the installation just to have the project cancelled and them left having to absorb the investment. Maybe something could be worked out with the utility, but since there are hundreds of companies to make special arrangements with, that is probably not worth it.Because the utility transformer is usually not placed until all of the construction and wiring is complete.
I doubt it, because they are already using the 145kW cabinets.Does anyone know if the 72kw Urban Superchargers are also getting a boost in power? Thanks
Yes I agree. A car parked in front of the one at Lone Pine would block traffic.Some of the locations I have seen photos of would not allow a car to be parked with the rear facing the dual chargers. They are too close to a wall or other obstruction. I think the idea that they are positioned such that only two can be used at a time is by design.
Thank you for posting that link. That is where this topic should be discussed. Please continue the discussion there. Thank you.
