I do have some catching up to do, but trying to finish up work for the year has been crazy so I'm a bit behind. Hopefully I can get caught up over the break.You can add Ames, IA to the list. Added just now.

You and me both brother.but trying to finish up work for the year has been crazy
All V4 dispensers have Magic Docks, at least for now, right?
There are reports on the plugshare and the Rivian forums of 200kW+ at some of the V3 magic docks. Looks like Tesla made the change last week. This means the V3's can now output 450+ amps. I'm guessing this is system-wide, although I can't confirm.All V4 dispensers have Magic Docks, at least for now, right? But very few are activated. I was surprised to learn of one recently from a video in SC.
With MFG's going to NACS in time, I don't see much of a future for Magic Docks in the long run, but I hope I'm wrong as CCS EVs will be around a LONG time.
And still none (no Magic Docks) within a reasonable day's drive for me (out and back).
Is there much chance of the V1 and V2's being replaced or updated any time soon?
Come to think of it, no, I do not think I ever even saw a V1 Tesla charger. But there sure are a lot of V2's around.Are there really any V1's left? I think it's just Urban and V2's below V3's. Also, from when I owned Teslas Urbans were really nothing more than force split V2's. V2s 150 were shared but since they were almost always full I could tell no difference between those and Urbans (150/2 vs 72).
But, to answer your question, I hope so; i.e. that someday most/all the older ones (V2's) will be upgraded.
I used the Version Four in Sparks the other day to test out my newly replaced charging ECU. No Magic Dock, much like any V3 charger, just looks different.All NEVI funded Tesla Supercharger sites in my home state of New Mexico will likely all be Version 4 with a CCS Magic Dock and 1000-volt capable. Both CCS and 1000-volt support are requirements of NEVI.
Thanks for the photo. But yeah, that is the case for all current V4 installs in the US.I used the Version Four in Sparks the other day to test out my newly replaced charging ECU. No Magic Dock, much like any V3 charger, just looks different.
Yes, I am sure that was the case. I did look in the slot after I pulled out the charging plug for the V4 SC and I did think I could have been looking at Magic Dock, but I wasn't sure.If you look carefully, there is a Magic Dock and small LCD screen built in to all V4 dispensers. They are just currently not energized so you might not have noticed them.
