My New Record for Charging Speed

[KentuckyX]

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?

Here's what our 2019 Raven did at the Link in Vegas

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...

I recently traded my 2020 MY LR for a 2020 MX LR and noticed a bit of a slowdown on Supercharging. It wasn't a big change but it was noticeable. Then again, maybe the larger battery in the MX played a part in taking longer to charge.

This is to be expected, the Y has much newer chemistry than a legacy X. You need a refresh X to match the Y.

I did the same trade but knew that difference was going to be there.
Honestly it’s pretty noticeable, but not terrible. The larger X batter helps. I couldn’t imagine having a pre Raven X and doing road trips but there are people out there who do it.

Ah, that makes sense.

My two sons and I recently completed a couple of 22 hour overnight trips in the MX (Colorodo <--> Kentucky) and the charging was 20-45mins but we were so tired that it didn't really matter. In fact, getting out and walking around a parking lot at 2am for 30 minutes was probably good for us.

I actually did the same as you going from a 2020 Y to a 2020 X. I love the X but going backward on charging speed and the key fob from the phone key take a bit of getting use to!
