Any seen 100+ kW (430mi/hr) supercharging before?

am I at an updated supercharger? I know it’s not the Fremont beta 1000 mi/hr unit. Don’t think I’ve seen this kind of rate before. Every stall is full too. Impressed. 8.2

Are you asking if anyone has charged at 100kW+ before? The answer is yes, people do everyday. Supercharger v2 allows up to 120kW charging.
Thanks. I just haven’t seen this rate before and I know it all depends on a number of variables. The SC I’m at is usually very slow.

The urban superchargers max at 75 kw, so Los Gatos, and others are a bit slower naturally, but do not care if paired or not, will always deliver the same power max.
Usually unpaired normal supercharging is 120 kW max, and paired with 2 people on the same stall maxes at 67kw.

My white whale...

Once in Vermont, 113kw. I was living the dream. Have never seen that number again. But I always try and charge when I'm above 50% and its below 50° so maybe one day?

The battery has to be warm and you have to be below 50% to get 120kw. I try to only charge up to 50% if there's another supercharger within range. :D

The fastest I have seen with MR and V2 Supercharger was exactly 500mi/hour. Just remembered the number.
That is the ideal case when everything is perfect in a Model 3 MR or LR on Supercharger V2. It may be easier to achieve now in a LR RWD car because they probably adjusted the nominal Wh/mi slightly to make the 325 mile range.

More importantly, V2 increasing max power to 145 kW will really help people seeing 500+ mph more often.

Hopefully the new software allows higher battery state of charge before the taper. That’s more important than peak if it only lasts a couple minutes.

No pics, but I did hit about 113 kW while Supercharging late last evening. My SOC was at about 11% (33 miles) with weather temp. in 40s°F (car was in use most of the day, so battery wasn't cold soaked). I heard the fan turn on and off at intervals to cool down the HV battery. What amazed me was that I was paired with a Model S that was there prior to me and I thought I maxed out at about 64 kW, but it peaked at 113 kW (V2 Supercharger). Don't know if the Model S was cold soaked to charge so slow...
