In my area, most of their installations are 4 stall. IMO, this is a mistake, as they have already had multiple holidays in which entire sites were taken offline. I suspect that over time they will move to 8+ stall installations as it greatly reduces the odds of a complete site outage.

The good thing is that they appear to be collecting data in real time and seem to have really direct insight into which manufacturers are consistently producing the highest reliability.

Yes, though presumably their strategy is to build as many sites as possible as quickly as possible. Then come back and do upgrades/infill to sites that need it once they have a better understanding of demand and reliability.
