First time charging at Tesla V4 Supercharger

[flabrent]

I tried to charge at my local Tesla Superchargers today. However, due to the chargers cord length and the layout of the chargers I only had two unacceptable options. I could use one charger and block the entrance to the parking lot, or I could use another one and block two other chargers.
Hopefully if I ever have to use a Tesla Supercharger on the road there will be a open to non-Tesla V4 available.

There's only one V4 station. It's in California.

I guess everyone is talking about v3.5 stations?

Interesting, from that article they call them V3 inside a V4 cabinet. No idea what a V3.5 would be unless that's just a made up designation.

Everybody calls a V3 charger in a V4 box 3.5.

Yes, been posted since Feb 2024.

Simply nose between 2 chargers. Not hard.

Yes, that is correct. However for our purposes, a real V4 vs a V3.5 makes no difference. We're still gonna limit out to a little under 200KW rate because our our somewhat low battery voltage. Until we can get higher charge current, that is our limit. And as I understand it, the CCS-1 connector standard is limited to 500 amps, so we are limited by that...
The longer cable on the V4 (or V3.5) is the big advantage for us.
