Hey people I just saw an interesting video you might like.
The guys over at out of spec reviews ran a 15 minute charge test from 10% SOC to simulate road trip conditions. Unfortunately the 4680 Model Y only got from 10% to 49% (i.e 39% added) in that period. That seems a bit slower than the LFP packs, and has me wondering if the charge rates are somehow restricted by Tesla?
For comparison from my own experience with the LFP CATL cells, they can add about 50% in 15 minutes from a low starting SOC.
Hopefully Tesla can find a way to unlock better charging performance from the 4680 cells.
