I only get 119, then dropped down to 50ish. I even tried the other station but still kind of slow.

The parking is $3 for the first hour last used in July 31, 2021. So I am very glad that San Gabriel is active now. I also wish more Tesla Supercharger in San Gabriel Valley.
I was there last night and most the time charging at 121. I start at 30% and it did went up 233 but drop to 121 once it reached 35% then drop to 50 around 65-70 which line up what I got the day before starting at 19%. I think you started up high!
At 35% you should still be able to get 200 kW if your battery is warm enough on a V3. Shouldn't drop to 120 kW until 60% or so.
It's long enuf. Told a guy who was gunning for my spot he was on wrong side. He thought I was conning him. Peeps will figure it out eventually
That shouldn’t be necessary since the V3 cables have a coolant in the cable that keeps the temp down
Was in or resorted to that to up charge rate. It was 134 in Vegas but Linq has solar canopy.

Given the layout, I am not surprised. I stopped in Saturday to charge, and if any of those chargers had been available, I might have been tempted. But at 5:30PM on a Saturday, I was lucky to find an open charger at all.

While reading this, I guessed that people will use the other side a que waiting for a charger to free up, so a line will not form in the isles blocking traffic. Back into a stall and take your chances when they will leave, especially if it's as busy as you think it will be.
In theory: if back to back stalls, you could politely ask someone to plug you when they're done. They finish, press the button on the handle and your charge port opens. So the driver of the second car could go get a boba, shopping or whatever while waiting.

I was there Friday night (8/13 @ 8pm) and there were about 5-6 cars on the wrong side.
Makes it tricky to find which stall is exactly free. Some were just waiting which made it more confusing if they were waiting for a charger specifically.

I am totally agree with you. Seriously ppl just doesn’t care. I was there charging for couples time now and seeing that happened all the time. They should put up the signs saying not for Tesla charging. I guess it happen when it is not full and people got lazy to make a turn but once it full, it is back to the order at least it was what I seen last time I charge there.
There's a 28-stall V3 site near me here in northern California, where most of the stalls are located back-to-back along two aisles of the parking lot. Think this one, but doubled up superchargers in the middle, so that it is intended to park on both sides. Most of the stalls, excepting the stalls on the very ends, can reach two cables, one "right" and one "wrong". Even when nearly empty, it is extremely difficult to tell which one is the "right one", unless you start counting from one aisle-end. Also all the numbers face one direction only, so they don't help sort things out.
Since there are other Supercharging sites a few miles away, and reduced commute traffic for COVID, I haven't seen this site get close to full until a few times recently. Because the earlier arrivals usually pick a space not next to another car, when it starts to fill up there will inevitably be 2, 3, 4 empty stalls that cannot reach one of the remaining supercharger cables.
But there are also two Chargepoint L2 chargers interspersed on the same aisles, if a non-Tesla EV uses a stall, then it is intended to block out one Supercharger from being used at that time, unless used on the "wrong" side. I've come to conclude personally that they intentionally designed it this way, so that there's no "right" and "wrong" side, and the possibility all 28 cannot be utilized at all times.
Coming back to this site, unless there's a sign from the shopping center management, it may not ever be official that there's a "wrong" side, only that those stalls are not solely reserved for supercharging.
