Sure. But, I don't think the breakthroughs in battery charging rates have changed that much sense Tesla launched the Model S in 2012. It's still ~100kW for just a small portion of the charge. 350kW will happen, but not on their consumer models coming out this year--from what I can see.
It is corporate policy in which laws of physics are more important,
Clearly, they favour range over charging speed once you get to the extreme of both.
Tesla
does throttle the charging: they specifically added that limit, so that they can favour the physics of battery longevity over the physics of fast-charging.
The limit is a clear decision of corporate policy. I agree with the choice, but not the communication. But that doesn't change the fact that it's a corporate policy.
Yes! That's it. If the Model S can only barely increase charging rates over the past 5 years...I'm not sure how they'll charge at 3x the wattage immediately, even with a switch from 18650s to 2170s. It launched with 90kW and now you for a few minutes you can eke out 120kW.
The "area under the charging curve" has not changed measurably.
