Taking into account @essaunders' and @Johnny Vector's experience I can only say: Your Mileage May Vary

I gotta say, your observations don't really make sense. Assuming the SC can deliver all the power your car can take, a V3 station can't be faster than V2. 100kW from a V3 is the same as 100kW from a V2.Taking into account @essaunders' and @Johnny Vector's experience I can only say: Your Mileage May Vary

V3 will be faster if the car can accept >133kW, or (potentially) at a shared V2.
I stopped by after dark. It looks like they’ve finished the conduit work at the transformer and equipment pads. Rebar work at the new pad looks done. I think both of those are new since my last visit. Might be time for concrete soon.Here are some updated pictures today.
Sitting in my S at a V2 SC yesterday, happily getting 110kW and having a Y plug in the last open station (and paired with mine) watching my rate immediately drop to 75kW, I was really missing V3 behavior. The Y user thought the station was broken since it was charging “so slow”. I decided to move on, and they were going to switch to the place I was leaving until I explained what happened and they noticed their rate go up.I gotta say, your observations don't really make sense.

IMO it would have been better to have done that 1st, as the jump to the border might have been doable with West Lebanon closed and St Johnsbury open.I'm assuming (hoping) this crew will move up to install St Johnsbury when they are done here?
St Johnsbury is already under construction - a different company. I think East Templeton is the more likely next stop.I'm assuming (hoping) this crew will move up to install St Johnsbury when they are done here?
Thanks! We need that location.St Johnsbury is already under construction - a different company. I think East Templeton is the more likely next stop.
Plan for it not being there. As fast as this particular contractor is, even if they finish their work by then it will take the utility to deliver a transformer, connect it to the pole, install the meter and then... have Tesla come and re-commission the site.The countdown is on! Would be nice to have this done before next Wednesday. Coming from Minnesota by way of CT (family) to Derby, VT. Or else Berlin detour. '21 M3P with 3 people and luggage.
I wish they'd put one in Wells River. P&H would be a perfect spot for people commuting from parts of northern portion of the Upper Valley in NH to Montpelier. Not everyone can get a decent home charger installed, and 15A/120v is just not enough to fill the battery overnight when it's -18°F in the winter.I'm assuming (hoping) this crew will move up to install St Johnsbury when they are done here?

Depending on how much you need to top up, you could potentially stop at the Hannaford's in Bradford, VT. There are some J-1772 L2 chargers, and a 50kW charger with one CHADeMo connector which could be handy if you have an adapter, and one CCS/SAE. If you need a full charge and don't have a CHADeMo adapter, it won't work, but if you need to add ~10% or so to reach your destination, it may save you a detour all the way to Berlin.The countdown is on!

Apparently the transformer has just been installed w/in the past day or two which is good news. While I'm sure additional work is still needed before anything can be powered back up it now seems possible that at least the original V2 stalls might be on track to come back on line sooner than later - perhaps as early as sometime next week. Tesla probably just needs to return to the site to commission the new V3 stalls - the V2's should probably be ok to turn back on without Tesla given they were up and operational already.Plan for it not being there.

Love your insider information. Thanks for all that you do gathering this type of intel.Apparently the transformer has just been installed w/in the past day or two which is good news.
