I've had my Model 3 for 3 years now, and we travel from Dallas to Austin about 3-4 times per year, with a SC stop half-way in Waco. I start with 80% charge, and by the time we get to Waco, we're at about 30%, and I charge back up to 80 for the rest of the trip. When we first did this trip, it too about 15-20 minutes to charge back to 80, enough time for lunch and bio-breaks. This past weekend, the charge was done enough to continue the trip in 7 minutes, and up to 80% in about 10! I had to move the car before we were ready to leave. I estimate the average power was about 200kW!
Speaking of power, the peak rate was 250 kW. Being an engineer, it boggles my mind this amount of power from 1 stall. My house will draw peak power of about 10kW with both AC units running, so this is the equivalent of running a small neighborhood at peak summer in Texas, from 1 SC stall!
