See my other reply. The temperature I stated was the cars interior temperature. The battery was warm, and from another’s reply these relatively slow speeds (compared to V3s potential) are not just an anomaly I experienced.

But remember, V3 there is no power sharing so these speeds are consistent even with all 8 stalls charging, so throughput is faster regardless.
I should clarify. I think the benefits of V3 are great. Water cooled handles mean they won’t overheat, or at least not as fast. No cabinet sharing. And it’s awesome that we have one in Spokane. I’m saying it is a big disappointment to me that I only saw speeds above V2 for less than 2 minutes. Which is unlike what I’ve seen from the original V3 supercharger in CA. North Bend lists their V3 Charger as 150KW. I wonder if Spokane will be listed as 150KW as well.

I wonder if they HAVE to have batteries deployed to act as a buffer or something. Anyone know if the V3 station at Fremont and Vegas have batteries? I wonder about the TransCanadian highway. I think all those went live very recently and many of them were V3...
Tesla consistently puts wrong information in when they update the supercharger map. It has been that way for years. As others have pointed out, the v3s have had relatively slow charge rates thus far, at least compared to what was advertised. But your battery was not warm (see previous posts in this thread).

They are applying a corollary to the Scotty Principle; under-promise and over-deliver. They advertise them as 150 kW so that people are pleasantly surprised when they get 170 kW.
Well so much for your theory. North Bend and Spokane are correctly listed at 250KW now.

It only took them a couple weeks to get them listed correctly.
I wonder if that means they’ve actually cranked them up to that full 250kW? Guess I’ll have to go check those threads now to find out!
I won’t be able to make it out there till Monday, but want to check it out... not that my S can charge that fast, but I am stoked to have another option to have free recharge, and get to some of my favorite fishing/exploring spots in central
Washington without having to go to Ritzville... thanks tesla!

As a weird preconditioning data point. My car was 40 degrees (street parked) and preconditioned for the entire 1.5 hours from Seattle to Cle Elum on Friday. Kind of annoying having the green banner up for an hour and a half. I would dismiss it to the circle and a few minutes later pop back up.

Any news on the progress of the Spokane supercharger? I might be driving there this weekend. If I can, I'll gather some info.

Been live for almost two weeks - it shows up in-car and in-app if you're close enough.

they need to update the website. Not surprising to see the auto “target opening 2020” lol

I'm new to the Tesla scene, but I've heard that the map on the website can take months to update - other than the "Target Year" stuff (which could just be a bit of code saying to insert current year)...
Charged here a week ago, still acts more like a 150 kW than a 250 kW. A snow pile from plowing had totally ‘iced’ the corner spot, but I also had to backup onto a zone of unplowed snow next to the charger. Probably another 5 slips were hard or impossible to reach. Now that it’s warmer than may be better.
This was an issue at Ritzville last year, I mentioned it to the hotel staff then and this year they’re doing great at keeping all 4 spots open
Hats off to the Best Western staff and plowers.

Was here Monday night. Was pulling more like 175 at 25%. Faster than a 150, so I was happy. It was fast enough that my buddy was impressed.
