I stopped for a charge there this morning at about 10:00 AM. Only one other vehicle there. While I was getting charged, some of the Tesla Service people showed up, so I talked to them for a bit. Seems as if 4 of the stalls are having some problems, but the other 12 are doing just fine. They should be fixed real soon.

This is the rate that I was getting from this supercharger. My SOC was about 60% and I had pre-conditioned the battery for about 15 Minutes. No one was beside me. Should the rate be higher, or is this about normal for a 250KW unit?
60% is not a very low state of charge and 15 minutes is not a long enough preconditioning period.
If you want to see 250 kW, plan to arrive with less than 25% and precondition by navigating to the Supercharger for 30 to 45 minutes.

It is enough if the car initiated the battery heating. If he meant he was driving in the city for 15 minutes and he calls that pre-conditioning, then not nearly enough time.
That said 90 kW at 60% sounds ballpark to me with a warm battery.
See the charging curve that InsideEV's posted for S Plaid

Nice graph
InsideEVs has a charging session of a 2021 Model Y from 0 - 100%. At 60% SoC the car was pulling 93 kW
As I said -- his charge rate is ballpark
When I arrived today at 6pm 2 of the cabinets were down so only 8 of the 16 were available (I could tell by the lights). 2 Tesla service guys were working on the cabinets. When I left at 7pm, they were gone and 12 out of the 16 stalls were lit up.

Lots of other factors, but you're never going to get close to 250kW unless you arrived preconditioned at less than 20% SOC and the lower the more likely.
84 without a ramp up at 50ish percent is totally normal.

I've been getting fairly slow charge rates at around 50% SOC lately in my 2018 Model S. Either my car has further degraded or something was changed in a recent software update. I can get up to 180kW on v3 superchargers for a minute or two, but it now tapers rapidly and I'm usually around 70-75kW at the 50% mark. So your experience isn't out of line with mine.Plus a 6 year old Model X is never going get much over 120kW!
I noticed that the middle set of chargers charge a lot slower than end sets. I was getting around 300-400 mph charge, then switched to edge sets and got above 1000 mph charge

Another Supercharger and Service Center was announced this morning in the Albuquerque Journal newspaper - this time north of ABQ on the Santa Ana Pueblo in Bernalillo on 4-acres near their casino. Set to open in May 2023.
Address and more details in the article. See the article here: ABQ Journal
Seems worthy of a new “permit” (or maybe construction?) pin to me!

Fantastic location. I don't think that NM has enough Teslas to justify locations ~ 65 miles apart so it make me thinks that Tesla is dissatisfied with Nambe. Part of that is the Nambe location, and I'll guess a larger part is Nambe's insistence on high local taxes.
I said years ago that I expect the Native reservations to be the wedge that breaks the legacy dealerships use of franchise laws to prevent competition from direct order car manufacturers. From the reservation's standpoint Tesla is a nice addition, but those with longer vision are eyeing the Chinese.
They may just be preparing for future growth. Greater Albuquerque probably doesn't have enough current traffic to justify 4 superchargers either (assuming they build the permitted Journal Center Blvd, this would be #4, after holding out for years with the single 6-stall site), but at the rate things are groing it's prudent to plan ahead...

So far as the Supercharger Stations are concerned, it is not just the local population of Teslas being served. Albuquerque is at the intersection of two Interstate highways, so an increasing amount of Tesla traffic is passing through as well.
As someone who visits Albuquerque via Farmington, I've been hoping for a Bernalillo Supercharger location for years! The friends I visit live in the Sandia foothills north of the tram.
