The only V3 limitation is that at Tesla Supercharger stations with both V2 and V3 at the station, Tesla will not allow any 3rd party at the station at all, despite the fact that the V3s should theoretically be working. I think this is the main sticking point that's going to catch people upA visual guide to Tesla Superchargers. First the ones categorically not useable by Lucids:
V1 & V2: Labels at base of charger post are a cabinet number and letter A or B. A and B posts share the power (120-150kW) from the cabinet, so it's advisable Tesla drivers to choose an unused cabinet number if possible (many Tesla drivers don't know this). Most often the A & B posts are next to each other, but some group the As together then the Bs.
Urban Superchargers: these have a different post design: smaller boxes, no hole in the post, cable is on outside of post rather than inside. 72kW max speed, no sharing of power.
Superchargers that can be used by Lucids, with some exceptions:
V3: Post design looks same as V2, but has thinner cable. Labels at bottom of post have same number+letter, but the letters are four per cabinet A,B,C,D. Power is 250kW per post, no sharing. Gravity can charge at 225kW. Air at 50kW limited by Wonderbox hardware.
V3 + MagicDock: these rare stations are fully-compliant CCS1 capable chargers that have a built-in adapter. Any EV can charge here using the Tesla app. Same charging rates as V3
V4 Post, V3 cabinets: post design is larger, taller, with a longer cable making it more friendly to cars with charge ports not in the Tesla position. Currently has same 500V charging voltage being powered by V3 cabinets.
V4: when they update the charging cabinets to V4, these dully armed and operational charging stations will supply up to 1000V. These will allow Air to charge at up to 350kW and Gravity to reach 400kW speeds.
