Could this be a possible Supercharger? I came upon this Twitter post posted 14h ago by searching “supercharger construction” on my Twitter query. The location I came up with on my Google search upon searching for IWL was in King’s Village Shopping Center at 230 Mount Hermon Rd, Scotts Valley...

Has anyone else drawn a connection between the new MegaWatt cabinet that was announced with V3 and the future charging station for the Tesla Semi?
Here's my thought... SuperCharger V3 stations are serviced by a new megaWatt cabinet. 4 stalls per cabinet, each stall up to 250 kW.
I have seen...
Given that apparently the 250kW charging rate is only sustained for a few minutes, and only when at a low state of charge, I feel like it would make more sense to have the V3 chargers be shared, where even when shared they could provide the full 120-ish Watts of the v2 chargers, which is...
I keep wondering how the now famous charge curves (Tesla supercharger v2 vs v3) from the v3 supercharger make sense. It seems the SoC should increase more in the beginning when the kW numbers are larger. But actually the slope seems to be steeper between 8% and 13%. I looked at the actual data...
Tesla is making positive strides when it comes to announcements and transparency. Not too long ago, it seemed Tesla would make an announcement, and we’d still have plenty of questions. Sometimes press releases were few and far between and/or the company wouldn’t update information on its website...
In the real world I can only depend on about 2/3 of the EPA rated range since I’m often rolling over hills into a headwind, carrying two bikes on a hitch rack at 78mph, or packing down a bit of snow a few degrees below freezing. So I’ve long hoped for an EPA rated range of 400miles cause then I...
So Model X and S owners can't use the new chargers, right? Does that mean that we will have to wait until an old charger is available in order to charge, and that some locations might not have any old chargers available at all to charge my Model X?
Interesting release about V3, I'm curious if people are excited about this? I added a poll for fun.

I guess it depends on how often you use SC. Personally, I don't because my 3 didn't come with any (bought before they...

New liquid cable improves efficiency 25%
New battery preconditioner software before arrival improves efficiency 25%

This really only benefits the Model 3 right now. 1000mph charging! However it's supposed to help the S/X charge faster as well.
My 2017 75d only charges at 90kw max right now. Anyone know if this will help at all...
Tesla is apparently inviting some Model 3 owners to the Supercharger V3 unveiling event in Fremont tonight:

Is anyone on here going? If so, please free to share details as you hear them!
Thank you
Ok, those are coming and they're supposed to be a lot faster but...
My experience with supercharging is arriving around 30% soc, getting 100kw for a few minutes and then the rate of charge starts to reduce...
I am driving a M3 MR. So is it the same for the other Tesla's?
My point is how usefull...
Tesla to activate first ultra-fast Supercharger V3.0 this Wednesday
Elon has not said where the first V3 Supercharger will be, only that it will be operational on Wednesday March 6. My guess is that it will be in either the SF Bay Area or LA.
Will the charging pedestals look different in some...
I will be passing through Wichita Falls (ICE, unfortunately) this week and thought I'd look for Supercharger construction. Went to review the thread for said Supercharger, but there was none.
Now there is!
I did preliminary satellite recon (aka Google Maps) and see several places along...
