The V4s are equipped with the 1000v version of the NACS connector so the handle is slightly bigger and has a larger “drop off” from the handle to the actual connector which gets interred into the car. This might make no sense but it’s the best I could do with words.

Can you (or anyone) post a picture, including of the tip / face? The new NACS standard does tweak it a little to support 1000V operation. I fully expect these plugs to support 1000V, even if the power conversion cabinets can't quite yet.
Imagery here shows the two slightly different plugs:
https://tesla-cdn.thron.com/static/...Technical_Specification_TS-0023666_HFTPKZ.pdf (page 18)
JP350 described the tapering of the new plug, and you can see it (barely) in the PDF above, starting on page 13. My guess is that the larger plug body is needed for more aggressive cooling, i.e. cooling loops farther into the plug body. But I'm sure this is discussed to death in a dedicated NACS thread somewhere else here on TMC
Not appearing in Tesla app, so that's a firm "no". I wouldn't be surprised if they hold off on that until Nov 30th, for reasons that I speculated about here.
Definitely working, but not in my Tesla maps yet. Met some nice people there from Bham. You know who you are. Be careful backing up. You need a good and entire foot of distance between the pedestal and your charging port because the handle is pretty chunky. You won't be able to insert if you're any closer than that.

As for the latter, I'll step out on a limb and say 100% no No way would Tesla make this location the first place in the country (world?) where they'd deploy V4 cabinets. I'd expect it to be in California or upstate New York (home to supercharger build factory), just like they did the first Magic Dock deployments, so that they can test themselves (in the field) and get to them quickly if needed.
The Plugshare listing has an interesting photo from a couple days ago, with the tiny display on the pedestal showing an error screen.

Thanks. It's now showing a wait, which can't possibly be right. Must be a software issue as you suggest.
