Older version superchargers (V1, V2 => 150kW) are different than the newer versions (V3, V4=>250kW, 350kW), so what is stated in this video is not entirely true. V1 and V2 Superchargers When both pair of stalls are occupied, the available power of up to 150 kW is shared. The station will assign the modules to the cars based on which one is plugged in first. This limits the charging output to each car to 50%-50% or 75%-25%. This is not true with the "newer" version superchargers (V3, V4 => 250kW, 350kW). The power feed is not shared and are basically independent of each other. So, there is no slowdown in charging speed on the newer superchargers even if you charge next to another Tesla. So, if you want optimum charging, go to the newer superchargers. Also, some locations have a combination of both old and newer versions. They are usually marked. So, if a stall is available, always charge at a stall that is listed as the faster speed (in kWs) to get the fastest charge.
Great video

Very nice video. Thanks.
