Which Tesla can charge at 1MW? Is it just future proofing?

[–] thax 1 points 1 year ago

Future proofing is a major factor and I would think probably the biggest factor. Another factor is the higher voltage support, allowing non-Tesla that currently support 800V to achieve decent charging rates, whereas right now they often get poor charging rates. This is important to reduce charging times, thus preventing charging locations from be clogged with slow charging non-teslas. This was the big push on the supercharger v3, it dramatically improved the throughput at high congestion charging locations, which improves the user experience.
