Peak charge power will get increased to 200kW for MR.
Curiosity: If I recall correctly from the myriad posts, Supercharging speed is harder on the battery than a slower L2 charge. Would increasing the SC charge speed exacerbate the issue?
Granted, I've only used an SC once in 4,500 miles (probably won't use up my free 1,000 miles before they expire).

I really don't think that Tesla would put artificial software locks on Supercharger charging rates because that would reduce the maximum number of cars that each Supercharger could handle. From a Tesla logistics standpoint, I'm sure that they want each supercharger to charge each car at the maximum rate that is safe for it to do so.yeah but wasn't sure about software locks again.

That is why I said "artificial". I think that the charging rate was previously limited to 100kW because Tesla hadn't finished testing the smaller battery packs at higher charge rates, and was conservative with its initial configurations. This is different from the SR car which has a more limited range than an SR+ due to Tesla limiting it for marketing reasons rather than any physical capability limitation.SR/SR+ is currently software locked to 100kW. Based on cell number and pack size everyone here estimated that we should be able to do like 160 to 180kW to be in line with the LR cars. Tesla right now is releasing an update that gets us to 170kW, basically spot on with that we estimated the pack could handle...

just got the 40.50.1 update and had to do a SC run today.
I don't think I ever got a charge speed this fast before! this is at shoreline, mtn view.

That’s not really very fast, but it’s probably because of your state of charge. If you hit the supercharger when you’re lower (15 to 20%) and ideal conditions (warm battery) you should see at least 100kW but potentially up to about 140kW now.
I'm not used to speaking in kw, yet; but I am used to how many 'virtual' miles per hour the display shows when I SC.
its been up to 120's or so, when I'm not sharing a pair of SCs. today, I was not sharing, either, of course, but the figure went well over 200 and that surprised me. my soc was about what it shows on that photo, when I started. in the past, I've let it go lower before I run to the SC, and still, nothing close to today's speed.
Well it can’t be breaking news anymore but I got 169kw on my Sr+ at v3 supercharger in Abbotsford bc last week. Started charge at 6% And it got up to 169 in less than 2 minutes. However by 14% it began the taper, dropping below 169 steadily.im hoping someone posts an update trying out the 170kw charging soon!
That’s peak. Tesla even lists the rate on their site as 170kW.Well it can’t be breaking news anymore but I got 169kw on my Sr+ at v3 supercharger in Abbotsford bc last week. Started charge at 6% And it got up to 169 in less than 2 minutes. However by 14% it began the taper, dropping below 169 steadily.
In comparison to v2 chargers it was barely noticeable difference to my schedule charging from 6 to 61% in 15 mins On v3, compared to a day earlier on a v2 station charging from 9 to 58% in 15 minutes, which peaked at 145kw.
