Yeah, the app is already updated showing that those stalls are out of order. It seems like a lot of new sites get one instance of vandalism and then the local vandals learn that these liquid cooled cables really don't have a ton of copper in them and then leave the site alone. Also really interesting that they only took 3 cables.

The next time someone is around it would be fun to get a picture of the cable cross section. We have diagrams from Tesla, but I'd love to see how thick the conductors that made it into production ended up being.

I'll try to stop though on my way by today.
 
I stopped by today to try out the charge out of a v4. The parking lot was easy access and easy to maneuver, and easy to get back on the northbound I5. The first 4 times I pushed the button on the plug to release from the pedestal I got the CCS adapter attached. Not sure what changed but on the 4th attempt the Tesla charger properly presented (I guess I need a proper checkout on v4 use). The Tesla app advertises 350kw…only a dream to my 2015 model S. Finally…it was advertised as out of service but at least 10 were working with a couple other cars there.
