Interested to see how the kW sharing will happen. Easy with the 120KW chargers split between two stalls. But 250kW how is that split between 4 stalls, or is it?

Tesla said the cabinets are 1MW each and as such they do not share power between stalls. But the site could be limited which could cause sharing across the whole site.
That turns out to not be true - the 1MW part. Each cabinet can only draw about 350kW of AC power, but there is a DC bus that connects between the cabinets to share power. So, if you happened to connect 4 cars at a 16 stall site, all to one cabinet, you could theoretically draw 350kW + 575kW = 925kW with those 4 cars. However, the chances of all 4 cars being able to pull 925/4=231kW simultaneously would be unlikely or contrived.
Reference: V3 Cabinet rating label
It may also be that Tesla was talking about burst capability being 1MW while the rating labels normally state the continuous load rating.
Been open now for the past week, however our MS or M3 will not charge above 50kw. No matter how many bays are open.
All stalls still seem limited to 50kw.
Bummer, I should of charged in nearby Rhonert Park or Petaluma.
I hope this site gets upgraded to full capacity soon.
App should show max 50 kw until fixed

Just got back, still only got 50KW. Also used the ones facing the library. I have a 2018 Model S 75D. Wonder if it's specific to the model? I do have the car scheduled for a service on 1/9. They can apparently check the logs and see what's going on. Also have an issue when charging at SFO and it charges past the limit (80%) to 100%.
I went to this supercharger the afternoon of Christmas Eve - even though in the nav it listed all 18 working stalls available, I attempted 8 of them that had no charge at all. I wasn't alone, as frustrated customers left the charger cables hanging on top of the supercharger stalls on dead stations. Stall #9 did work for me at 250Kw. I called Tesla and reported the issue, and they said they were already aware, but no resolution eta.
At the supercharger this morning....merry Christmas....only getting 58kw!!!!

I pretty much love everything Tesla including my M3 but the launch of this SC is excruciating, a multi-month ordeal now. Maybe it’s PG&E or a contractor but man, annoying!
Are you saying there shouldn't be a V3 supercharger here, or that the performance is embarrassing considering it's brand new? If the former, I disagree. I find that any Supercharger is a good addition to the network. If the latter, I definitely agree. This up and down nonsense is a very poor launch.

It seems at this point there are obvious reliability issues and bugs to be worked out with v3 stations.
My wife stopped in this morning to charge and a Tesla employee was there to tape up the four inop units in the middle of the Guerneville road side of chargers. He said that those four had been real trouble and taken offline from the beginning and that they were still having trouble with the other units. His job was to just to mark the bad units.
No indication of when things might get back to normal.
Ironically, while they were talking a new Model 3 backed into one of the taped up units to charge
