I'm no battery expert, but is it possible that they have several battery compartments that can all be charged simultaneously? Thus reducing charge time? Edit:

Edit: Just read the latter part of your post after I wrote this. I think this is the most likely scenario. "Personally I think Elon is either going to add multiple charging inputs per truck and combine it with a special supercharger,"

Yes it's possible. We could have a power port like a VGA cable with say 10 or 20 independent supplies, simultaneously charging the different battery units. However those connectors will be very bulky and heavy. Maybe Elon is thinking of a mechanized system, say a power robotic arm sort of thing, or maybe tech similar to the instant battery changing station he demoed a few years back.

They do call it a "megacharger," and the port appears to have multiple connections https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-semi-megacharger-charging-port-close-up-look/ https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-semi-megacharger-charging-po...
