I thought Elon in that presentation said it would cost almost as much as filling up a 20 gallon tank. Which is why I don't think that swaps your pack with a new one. Or, as pointed out above, you may be expected to have to exchange it back at some point.

Yeah, that "as much as a tank of gas" cost is just to swap packs. It's for the ability to have a fully charged pack in 90 seconds rather than waiting 30+ minutes to charge. It's not the cost for actually keeping the pack you swapped to. That cost, I imagine, would be on a case by case basis depending on the condition of your old pack and the condition of the one you received.
Yes, mine goes to 90 and so do cinergi's and cottonwood's cars. One notable difference is that my Sig has a different taper curve even when compared to production A pack owners. My taper from 90 begins at ~35% whereas for others it begins ~45%.
The fastest I have charged is at 70.5 kW. Temperatures were in the mid 40's. I arrived at the station with 60 miles on the car and I started charging at 65kW. I got up to 70.5 kW after 8 minutes and started to taper down immediately afterward. I was below 60kW another 8 minutes later.
I was just over 65 kW for 4 or 5 minutes. I hit 70ish for just a minute or so.
My battery has a much lower number than the VIN on my car. I suppose the battery may have been re-used after another car didn't make it through QC or something.

That's the sound of your A/C compressor on max. I've heard that on really hot days last summer.
Can someone add my data to wiki? I don't have permission. Nvm, I got "edit" tab and was able to add mine. Sent a note to Tesla as well.

Yes I'm aware of it and that's the reason for me to add my data to this thread. Disappointing to find my coworker who got his earlier than I did has B pack.
Guess I'm too late for the party

Wanted to add to wiki myself but I don't seem to have permission yet.

Btw, anyone experienced loud buzzing noise from near front wheel well During supercharging? I recorded it if anyone is interested.

Happens after driving highway speed for several hours and seems like battery cooling but it's really loud.

Yeah, this one is pretty stupid. A setting for this? Just display both for heaven's sake. There is more than enough screen real estate...

Got an email from Tesla about the cross country supercharger event watched the video pretty nice. I don't suppose they used the A packs. it's just a difference of 4 minutes or so....
Have figured out my 'A' battery problem.
I simply printed the letter 'B' on a sticker and placed it over the 'A' under the wheel well.
Now my battery charges at 120kW.
This method also works for any future revisions of the battery (C, D, E, etc)
I am will to send instructions on how to do this - for a small fee.

Indeed, your moniker suits you well. Hey when are you going to insert yourself in the battery wiki?
Battery table - Tesla Motors Club - Enthusiasts & Owners Forum
As I recall you are VIN delta 3 from me. It is lonely at the top (of the shaft list)...

thanks for pointing to that table, I wasn't aware. I added my Rev D battery from Nov 2013. I wonder what is the difference and if there are Rev C in the wild... 135kW (or 150kW) supercharging ?
Sorry, thought I had. Musta been busy drowning in my sorrow. Consider it done.

I had not been following this thread, but somebody suggested that the last letter was the charging speed reference. If so, my Rav4 EV must charge at 175kW - 200kW.
Here's my pack, Tesla part number 1004200-02-E
The newest Tesla Model S serial number cars have 1014114-00-D

So, do I have an "A" or "B" battery? The part numbers on this label show both. Left is "B" and right is "A"
