> That data is intensely misleading, leading to false interpretations
There is no false interpretation. It's a flatter charge curve with a higher average charge rate. Similar to how the Mercedes EQS charges faster than the Model S Plaid:

> superchargers and CCS2 chargers with the same peak power
But they don't have the same peak power. 350 kW CCS chargers are common. Some are 400 kW. No Tesla charger offers that yet.
Tesla switched to CCS in Europe a long time ago. Tesla ought to switch to CCS in North America too. Cutting your customers off from easy access to an additional 4,550 CCS charging locations is not doing right by your customers:

- simondotau 5y agoWhen the data is misleading, defending your interpretation of it by pointing to the same data isn't a rebuttal. There are millions of electric cars on the road. People charge these cars fairly often. If your interpretation has merit, it could be substantiated by hundreds—if not thousands—of data points. If you really want to rehabilitate your interpretation, maybe start by finding a handful of them. As for the rest of your post, you are responding to an argument I did not make and have never made. I never claimed that CCS chargers cannot be faster than Tesla chargers.

Here's the Model 3 charging slower than three other cars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gxcukAhIAU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gxcukAhIAU Even the Audi e-tron beats it. How? Flat charging curve. Should have put that Model 3 on a CCS charger.
