I too thought this was about having charge ports on both sides. This might even have some advantages by making the car more symmetric and reducing the number of different parts.
Could this allow for faster charging in the case that 2 adjacent supercharger stalls are free? Was wondering if two separate charging circuits would allow 2 separate sets of cells to be charged at 120kW each for a total of 240kW. I guess it depends on what currently limits charge rate. I know embarrassingly little about batteries and such electronic systems (oh god, and I sit my final exams, including a paper on power electronics, in 3 months :crying
so this may be a stupid suggestion, but could anyone comment on the feasibility of this?
Of course it would have to be possible for the car to charge normally off either port individually. Also, the car would have to allow either one of the chargers to be disconnected if another owner pulls up to the next stall (maybe would only unlock the port if it knows another Tesla is in the immediate vicinity?)
