170 miles in 15 minutes Model S?

[Daniellane]

This now on Tesla’s Site.
Model S now charges 170 miles in 15 minutes.

Model X now charges 150 miles in 15 minutes.

Big discussion on Reddit:
Supercharger V3 average 210 kW for Model S and X Long Range : teslamotors

Very interesting. I’d like to know if all 100d can do this or if it is from a certain date.

Yes - that’s the big question?

That leaves us antiques out.
I'd be happy if they'd fix my not being able to super charge since v9 was installed. I can only charge at new chager.

That is more likely a hardware issue. V9 might have exacerbated it. It is not a widespread v9 issue as far as I have seen. I had this happen early on with my first Tesla (MS90D)
They replaced the onboard charger and all was good again.
Make an appointment with your SC.

The onboard charger is not involved in Supercharging. Likely there was some miscommunication of the problem or the solution.

This is not the case. Although,the onboard charger is bypassed (no A/C to DC conversion) it contains hardware that manages the DC (Supercharger) connection. I believe it’s called the PMU. (Power Management Unit)
This was the explanation I got from Tesla when they replaced mine.

I stand corrected. Actually, I'm sitting.

Good to know, thanks!

The page still has "15 Minutes," but the caption underneath now says "30 Minutes."

I've supercharged 4 times in the last month. Results:
1st... first stall did not respond. Moved to another stall and charged successfully.
2nd... charged normally
3rd... first stall started, but stopped after about a minute. Would not restart no matter what I did. Moved to another stall and charged normally.
4th... charged normally.

This was at three different locations. The last two were the same location but at different times of the day. It seems to erratic for me.

Are you referring to this?

That’s crazy

 

[Daniellane]

This is wacky. I just did screenshots of both S & X pages now there both 170 miles in 15 minutes.

Model S

Model X

 

[Daniellane]

Looks like they almost have it right.
Now shows 30 minutes to recharge 170 miles on both the Model S & the Model X.
I’m guessing it should be 150 miles for an X.
Just took these screenshots.

When I first looked at this yesterday, I saw it mention 15 minutes and 170 miles for the Model S or 150 miles for the Model X on Tesla's site.

Now I'm seeing 30 minutes again, which is how it appeared last Friday...except Model X shows 170 miles now instead of 150 miles.

So was it a mistake putting "15 minutes" or was it just a mistake releasing it before it was supposed to be announced?

Nice to see that the folks at Tesla know what they are doing... maybe smoking too many joints.

Marketing is not their strong suit. It’s a good thing they have an amazing product and mission statement that has made word of mouth work so well.

That's really disappointing that they changed it back to 30.
