The 20 min charge time for 2/3 battery was for a 60 kWh battery.

 

[Owner]

Rolled out within 3 months.

 

[Discoducky]

YES!

A non-Tesla car is parked in a dedicated Supercharger stall, what should I do?

Please call 1-877-798-3752 and select option 3 for attack dogs (attack dogs are optional)

Cross country on I-80 ... woohoo!

Is the faster charge rate what Elon meant by being able to recharge the car FASTER than filling a gas tank? Still seems quite a bit longer.

The "future view" slider is really cool.

No.

Yes, the map is very useful.

Looks like you can do pacific coast this fall, cross country this winter.

Even earlier looks like you can go this summer down 101 in CA

Red dots - completed
Grey dots - in process

Paraphrase: "SC is not harmful to the battery, longer times at higher SOC, keeping the cell voltage closer to electrolyte breakdown voltage, is more problematic"
That's what I've been saying :biggrin: http://ephase.blogspot.com/2011/10/battery-electrolyte-breakdown-voltage.html

 

[JohnQ]

Did he just say "and are they actually being used" as part of info available from the touch screen? Wonder if that's a future enhancement tip-off.

Looks like there's another SC station coming to Sacramento, my guess is this one will be on the I-80 side.
Probably going to be at the Westfield galleria mall in Roseville.

Wow at the fall 2013 map, that is awesome!

And then nothing to say for a while

 

[ckessel]

Exciting, but bummed I still can't get from Portland to San Francisco until "Fall 2013" which basically means by the end of the year.

june 20th is "an in person thing"
Must be a big big deal.

 

[joefee]

Wow…the MS really is the future now…grid free charging...nothings comes close!

 

[Iz]

Seems as if the proposed SC map will reduce battery swapping requirements.

I am surprised the I-10 or I-40 corridor won't be complete until 2015. Even though these corridors are lacking this is fantastic news.
