I wonder how fast V3 will be.

I wonder how fast V3 will be.

My guess is 1 faster than its predecessor.

Pure madness. Exciting and terrifying at the same time as I feel the entire company is grasping at straws and accelerating everything to 11 in an effort to stay afloat.

Invites being sent out later this week Im guessing?

mod note: moving thread out of Model 3. Let's keep Model Y discussions in Tesla, Inc. until the admins have created a Model Y forum.

Which will still be 2 too slow...with vampire drain.

How will Elon know where to send me invite then?

I don't doubt they want some good news, but it's not like either is a complete surprise.

 

[Thomas Edison]

Who’s seen any recent work on any stations that have been around for a while?

Better question is, which cars do V3 chargers work with?

Only the original roadster. /s

I would guess first V3 at design studio or Fremont or Gigafactory.

Would make sense to have it for Semi to use for Gigafactory to Fremont drivetrain deliveries.

This was planned a while back. No grasping here.

Any existing car capable of supercharging since they should be backwards compatible. But Model 3s and 100 kWh S/X will probably see the most improvement in charging speed
