That seems to be a trend for recently completed superchargers, with all but one stall back-in and one for side attachment. However this is the very FIRST I have seen where one had to back into that side stall. EVERY other one is on the drivers side when pulled in forward, in my experience. I think this one is a boo-boo, as @ReddyLeaf says above.
I agree with the first part of your post, but am skeptical about the last sentence.
Again, consider accessibility. It would be difficult for someone in a a wheelchair to access the pedestals behind the curbs, but straightforward to use this "drive in" pedestal, or the one in Van Horn.We can see that they COULD easily have put the sideways unit at the other end next to the curb, like the one in Van Horn. Instead, they built the island out so that a car can pull in forward to charge. (thanks to @charliepmayer for the photo)

Regarding BerTX's comments -
while I certainly agree that a pull-through site - a hugely space-hogging proposition - is the easiest for any vehicle with any trailer, I constantly wonder what it is so mysteriously difficult about a back-in site.
To my modest experience, any front-in site does require a backing-out maneuver. If you are pulling a trailer, you're going to have to perform the exercise either empty of electrons, or full of them.
Thanks for planning to check out Pecos and Fort Stockton. I'm hoping for good news!Thanks, @Tyl
We are headed out there on Thursday, and that is a big load off. Going on Wednesday to Junction and Ozona, then an hour of charging at Iraan and on to Davis Mountains SP, where we'll charge at a TT-30 outlet overnight. Checking on Fort Stockton construction startup possibilities along the way.
Thursday AM, off to Van Horn, then up to Pecos to see if we see any construction activity there. Then back to Davis Mtns SP overnight, and back home on Friday.
I couldn't get a 50 amp site in the park, and the Van Horn SC being open definitely makes that whole thing doable without worrying too much about how much charge I can get in the park.

Has anyone actually used this location? It's been a couple of days and it's not on Tesla's supercharger web site. I know the future map is a WAG, but I thought they were pretty good at keeping the "open now" map up to date.We pretty well know where to look in Fort Stockton since there is a permit there, but no clues in Pecos. That's what the SC in Van Horn will help -- more flexibility to look for construction.

The Ozona SC is up and running. We used it a few weeks ago. Enjoy the ride.the Ozona Supercharger is a little flaky on the in-car map
