So it’ll start high and Taper for half the pack then repeat? Unless it is constantly switching between the 2 halves this seems very unoptimized.
I guess the CT won't charge slower at the V3s, they split the pack.

Yes, I understand that part. Just thinking about how individual cells get charged and how that affects the overall pack when they are connected back in parallel. Seems like overall pack health and cell balancing would be negatively affected with this charging infrastructure. And one more piece of electronics that could fail.It splits the pack in two and connects them in parallel, dropping the voltage in half but leaving the same 120+ kWh capacity. Gets 250kW charging that way today on current Superchargers and allows them to not split the pack at 800v sites up to 350kW. Really thought they would handle Megacharger (1000v at 1000a) sites, but Lars and Franz only mentioned 350kW.
Elon mentioned the cybertruck would be “megawatt capable” so I know that is different than the Megacharger. Most people do not realize the difference. People see the voltage rating on the new V4 posts and think the cars will be 1000v when that is just a rating. Car manufacturers would need to redesign batteries to be 1000v while most current are 400v or 800v.The Megacharger is what they are designing to charge the Semi, Mega is 1000 1000 so maybe 1000v at 1000a, although the standard I have seen proposed is actually 3.7 megawatt, so who knows what the future holds
Nice. I don’t think they make V4 without the magic dock and payment terminal so it’s not that it’s expected, they don’t make them without them. It’s why they needed to change from V3.Fences were removed from around the Transformer and cabinets. As expected, this has the payment terminal and magic dock.

I can swing by tomorrow!This is a little unusual, for almost all recent Supercharger activations we'd see the site show up in the mobile app first, before the Find Us map. I'm not seeing it in the mobile app.
The ground truth is whether a car can get a charge there. It'd be awesome if someone could try this out and document with photos of your car charging there (the "gold standard" for evidence, as it were).

Highland is not my pics, found on Twitter hahaYou really buried the lead there with the highland for sure.
