Tesla Semi has multiple packs that can be charged in parallel. The Megacharger will (likely) be 4 Superchargers combined. 1MW should be enough ;) re: announcem

re: announcement, I'm surprised not much has been said about the flagship cars (S/X). With their current battery architecture (using 18650 batteries), they're not capable of 250kW charge rates. I wonder if they have recently updated them to new 2170 battery packs or if they're going to do that soon.
- Reason077 8y agoElon said specifically on the most recent Tesla conference call that there are no current plans for 2170-based packs on the Model S & X.
- EngineerBetter 8y agoFolks are speculating that a Model S/X refresh will be announced at the end of the Model Y unveiling next week. It'd make sense, as both have had massive price drops recently, and haven't had a battery upgrade in two years.
