Irrespective of whether people think they are V2 or V3 cables, there hasn't been any sign of V2 cabinets... (see older post)

They’re V3. The V3 Superchargers in Las Vegas have the same rating stickers on them. This site has the V3 cabinets, thin cables and liquid coolers in the bottom of the pedestals. As mentioned above, the rating sticker is continuous output... burst is higher.
Yes. They’re visibly thinner and they don’t sit in their stowed position as cleanly as the thicker V2 cables. Note how they’re a little twisted looking in the pictures of them hung up in the pedestals.

Based on X-men's photo alone (re-posted below), this is without a doubt, a V3 Supercharger! As proof, the stall at the V3 Supercharger in Hawthorne has the same exact rating: 350A / 500 VDC (175 kW continuous power). For comparison, here is a photo of the rating on a V2 Supercharger: 410A / 270A (111 kW continuous power).
Also, here is a photo of one of the V3 stalls in Las Vegas (note the thin cable). Here is a photo of a V2 stall from the same angle (note the fat cable). Here is another photo of the new stalls in Regina, SK posted by X-men on this forum, also from the same angle (note the thin cable, i.e. V3).

Good luck with that. Possibly after there are 1000 or 5000 Teslas there. The one you are getting is mostly for travelers, not locals that can charge at home. Same for most cities across Canada.

It doesn't take long for the "please please please put one in my very remote part of the world" comments to end and "urgh, it's at least 10 minutes away from me" comments to start, does it?
There will be. It’s called Moose Jaw and Davison.stopped there on Saturday and plugged in. Not powered up yet.
I am really hoping they put another in the W/NW part of the city.

Average night time low temperature for Sask in 2018 was -31.3 C not that far off of the -30 C rating, AND remember, this temperature doesn't last that long, once the sun hits the pedestal. Warmer in most of AB though.

I am presuming in this answer that you live closer to the W/NW part of the city, if not, then disregard...stopped there on Saturday and plugged in. Not powered up yet.

Our experience here in Fredericton regarding proximity of the Supercharger...
Our local SC is 12% battery away from home on the far end of town. I really thought it would be useless to us, but very quickly realized that it's just the opposite.
All of our "Local" usage is charged at home (work would also be a reasonable replacement but we work at home). This is where our car (and probably yours) will likely spend the vast majority of it's time.
When we are on the road 2-3 times a week, we have to drive by the SC both ways most of the time.
That means that on the rare occasion we don't have time to top the car up to 100% in the morning before we leave, we can stop on the way out of town and fairly quickly get the car back to where it would have been as we passed the SC (~90%) if we had topped it up before leaving.
Most importantly though is when we are on the way home. We can leave where we are to head home with 12% less in the battery than it takes to get home, since we know we can stop at the SC on the way. This we do ALL the time! Especially as until this week we only had Chademo available to us when we were at our most common destinations.
It has been revolutionary.
I wonder what will come first, Regina’s grand opening or snow...
