    I was traveling yesterday and stopped at a 250kw charger in Nashville, TN. To my amazement, I hit speeds I used to see with my Model 3 - 173kw/521mph! I am running firmware 48.30. Naturally, it didn't stay at this speed for long but amazing nonetheless. Anybody else seeing speeds like this?

    161 kW may be my best in my '17 X 100D

    I have a 2018 Model X 100D, July 2018 model with G battery. Pulled into the Modesto Sisk Road V3 chargers at 25% and got 184 kW for a while.

    Can someone please provide a good reference for easily learning about Kw and kWh while charging and driving? I guess I wasn’t paying attention during the energy part of college physics. Thanks.

    We tagged the 190's in Las Vegas, but the actual charging time from 10% to 80% wasn't much different than the 150kW chargers.

    kW (thousands of watts of power) controls how long it takes to pump a kWh (kilowatt-hours, think gallons) into your car.
    If you are charging at 60 kW, it takes 1/60th of an hour to load a kWh into your car, or 1 minute.
    So in that example, in one hour, it would pump 60 kWh's into your car.
    180 kW is 3 times as fast, so it would take 20 minutes instead.
    But the cars don't sustain peak speeds very long.

    Does anyone have data on what a 10-70% charge time is on a 100 kWh S/X over a 7X kWh 3/Y? The brief seconds I flash 240 kw isn’t a big deal, but the slower overall speed and bigger battery seem like it’s a much longer charge?

    What’s the top speed charging on a 2020 model X?

    Yes I have personal data for 3 and X on V3 chargers, Model 3 is 10 min or 29% faster.

    10-70% with warm battery
    2020 X LR++ 35 min
    2018 P3- 25 min

    Highest V3 power? 204 kW for 2020 X, 250 kW for 3. Both are my personal data points.

    perfect. So 30% isn’t as bad as I feared. Should be workable for family trips, as my family beat the Model Y charge times every stop...
