What exactly does this V3.0 SC mean? Faster charging?

[Zorak03]

I assume the V3 SC will charger faster, but how much faster?

No official specs have been released yet.

and who can do it faster (it may require a new V3-compliant battery pack)?

Wow, I hope that info is true.

All Model 3s should be able to support the faster charging speed. Will be interested to see when speed start tapering. The amount of time it takes to go from 10% to 80% is what I'm very interested in finding out.

Unless some thermal protections are removed, we can expect charging speed to only slightly increase between about 5% and 20% SOC, using a typical supercharging profile as reference.

I think the big win will be the ability to charge at higher power levels when sharing stalls with another car.

The more realistic benefit I see with V3 supercharging is that we can most likely now achieve max V2 speeds more consistently. I've supercharged a number of times and have only received max 120kw once out of the maybe five times I've been at the charger without another car occupying the shared stall and below 30% SOC.
