Supercharger - Woodcliff Lake, NJ

I hope it doesn’t turn into another Paramus. That parking lot and the line of cars waiting is a mess.

Stopped by today hoping for a quick charge since this is advertised as a V3 supercharger location. I tried stalls 2B and 2D, neither gave me more than 36kW. There was another 3 and an S also charging at stalls 1B and 1D while I was there, not sure what charge rate they were getting. When I pulled up I was at 46% SoC.
Can someone post details please.
Will be using it this summer en route to my summer home but it's a bit out of way. I want to avoid Paramus bc it is SOOO bad and the walk to bathroom and snacks at the gas station requires a walk on a bootleg shoulder.
A. Rough estimate of on/off times from gsp.
South and North.
B. Closest walk to a potty? And some snacks.
C. Is jumping onto or from rt17 quick? Hard to tell if it's a small trafficky connecting road or not.

Yes, Woodcliffe lake is a V3 location. And V3 superchargers do still have stall designations, but since each V3 cabinet connects to 4 stalls instead of 2, the designations are #A, #B, #C, #D. However, not all locations have the stickers or other markings on the charging posts that make this clear.

Charging power is still shared on V3, the power cabinet is rated at 575kW while each of the four stalls can deliver 250kW, but not simultaneously.

Stopped in at Paramus, big signs saying 8 chargers were now open at Woodcliff Lake. It's 10 minutes away and only a slight detour from where I was going, so I headed over there to give it a spin.
What a mistake. Only 4 chargers were actually active -- no signs on the broken ones of course -- and with 3 cars on units 1A-1C things settled in to a nice low 65kW and stayed there. My 10 minute detour turned into more like an extra 45.
This kind of stuff is just offensive. Why direct people to a charger they know isn't working? Some day I'll understand why Tesla goes out of its way to alienate customers as much as it can starting the minute they've bought their cars.

Seems unlikely they will address it "ASAP" since that could have started by having the employees at Paramus - who were definitely there this morning - take down the "go to Woodcliff!" signs as soon as those four chargers at Woodcliff went dead...
All 8 stalls are operational. From 17N you can catch the Parkway North in Paramus. If you're further north on 17, you need to meander through Saddle River to Woodcliff Lake.
I prefer this location over Paramus. In fact, I usually drive right by Paramus location just to charge in Woodcliff Lake. Rarely have an issue finding a spot in WCL.
