It sounds like the charge rate is going down.Today, I plugged in to see if the charge rate had increased. It went down to 35kWh. Anyone have a guess as to what is happening?
Here is the latest. Any chance Tesla has slowed down these chargers at the request of the merchants?

So...what is the purpose/strategy of Urban Superchargers?In my completely not-supported-by-any-facts opinion, this kind of arrangement is unlikely. Artificial limits to keep cars in stalls for longer will lead to higher occupancies and queueing. That will encourage owners to go elsewhere, and probably cause reputational damage as well. Those consequences would seem counterproductive.
It's quite possible that there are some unique limits on power at this site. But in the absence of any other information it's more likely for technical reasons than local businesses wanting a captive audience.

Sometimes locations have power problems that cause charging rates to drop. This is particularly likely to happen with new installations. Sometimes the problem is Tesla's end, sometimes utility.
If Tesla were limiting power it should show on its own site information.

We have seen much higher power levels from our local Urban Superchargers than to the new 250 kW units.Originally, it was for more predictable sharing of power between the two charging posts attached to the same V2 Supercharger cabinet. Changes to V2 Supercharger locations have since made Urban Superchargers less unnecessary since they changed their algorithm from "first car has priority" to "share equally if needed".
But none of that matters here, because no new Urban Superchargers have been installed for years (I think), and in any case...the site being discussed in this thread doesn't have Urban Superchargers.

The only way you're going to see "higher power levels" from a (72 kW) Urban Supercharge than a 250 kW Supercharger (everything else being equal)) is if something is wrong with the 250 kW unit.We have seen much higher power levels from our local Urban Superchargers than to the new 250 kW units.
