Thanks that is really interesting with the 430kva cabs split between 4 stalls. I think what we are learning is that V3 is a pretty flexible architecture, it seems like they can size the cabs differently and split the power however they want depending on the site.

Indeed, I still have not seen an actual label on a V3 power module which would indicate the input power/current it can support. Right now the talk of a megawatt is solely based on 250kW support for each of the four stalls, but maybe not simultaneously as we see in this example. Power is still shared, which with statistical multiplexing across four stalls and the older S/X models in the mix that do not support the full 250kW, it may not matter much.
The announcement was pretty clear that they should be 1MW cabinets.
Introducing V3 Supercharging
“Faster Charging, No More Power Sharing
V3 is a completely new architecture for Supercharging. A new 1MW power cabinet with a similar design to our utility-scale productssupports peak rates of up to 250kW per car.”
...
...
“Supercharger stations with V3’s new power electronics are designed to enable any owner to charge at the full power their battery can take – no more splitting power with a vehicle in the stall next to you.”
The interesting thing to me is why there would be two cabinets for 8 stalls. Perhaps they are leaving room for more in the future?

Despite what the announcement said, it appears that the V3 cabinets are rated at 430 kW shared across four stalls. That's substantially more than what a V2 configuration provides.
Does this match with other V3 sites like Fremont Factory and Vegas? Are they all using 430kW cabs and sharing 4 stalls or is this configuration specific to smaller 4 and 8 stall sites.
All V3 sites appear to be structured similarly. Many Trans-Canada Highway V3 sites are only getting 6 stalls installed (three stalls per charging cabinet), leaving room for two more in the future.

The details of the Las Vegas LINQ site power supply is covered in this post and the few following it in this thread: Supercharger - Las Vegas, NV (Las Vegas Strip)
I would rather walk from Wawa in the other direction on Maple towards Tysons. Much better dining options there including Taco Bamba, Plaka grill and Chopt. Also Whole Foods nearby.

Oooh, +1 for Plaka Grill, didn't realize that was so close -- the only one I've been to is in Falls Church City. Generally faster than Amphora (which is also toward Tysons). The others require crossing Maple Ave, and Whole Foods is nearly a mile away, so not quite as easily accessible, but still good options if you have time, or maybe a bike / scooter.
Edited to add (off-topic): there's a good Greek place similar to Plaka right near the Baltimore supercharger (McHenry Row) -- it's called Samos.

Can anyone tell me who’s chargers are being installed at the Sheetz in south Riding? Electricfy America? They look big looking at the rough in and pad size

One of the news articles said they were fully renovating the existing building. Didn’t sound like a total demo job, but likely a pretty thorough gut job of the interior.
I was in Tyson's this morning so I went by to take look at the site for the first time and was surprised to see it surrounded by protesters with signs that read "Honk if you love trees" and "Stop cutting down our trees" which was very confusing, until I turned the corned and was able to make out a row of sizable stumps along the rear of the property which happens to be adjacent to the back yards of a couple single family homes. I guess not the best way to introduce yourself to the neighborhood.
That’s unfortunate, especially since engine noise will be minimized once the site open due to these being EV charging spaces instead of regular gasser spots. Also, the trees were cut down over a month ago. I think I posted a picture in this thread.
Bump from October 2nd. (click link above for pic)
Are they removing even more trees? It would be nice to keep the ones along the fence line.
Wawa removed some trees that they weren’t supposed to according to the Town of Vienna. Wawa to Add New Trees in Vienna After Chopping Down Wrong Ones
I didn't take pictures and was viewing from the opposite side of the property from your vantage point, so it's hard to say how many of those are still standing. As @Lanny pointed out, looks like someone f-ed up.
Edit: That parking lot you were in was roped off, literally, with rope.
