which charges faster a 75d model x or a model 3 and why?. The reason I ask is that I have a lot of model 3 owners tell me how fast they can charge even faster then me. Why is that?. Is yay because of new battery chemistry or something else. Can tesla change the charging parameters and charge faster then we dip now

It is not that their batteries charge much faster, but due to the fact that the smaller and lighter cars are more efficient.
The same amount of juice that gets your X 100 miles of range will get the Model 3 130 miles of range.

A full 75 KW Model 3 will get 310 miles of range, while the Model X will only get 225 miles with the same size battery.

Same with an ICE vehicle. Takes longer to gas fill 300 miles of range in a Grand Cherokee than for a Ford Festiva.

They might just be referring to the miles-per-hour charging rate. At 235V/40A, the M3 gets 34 miles/hr rate, compared to my MX which was getting 24 miles/hr. The 3 is just a lighter more efficient vehicle and gets more miles per kWh.

If talking about supercharging the charge taper on the 3 is better than X 75..battery design does play a role ..so yes from a SC standpoint it is true the 3 is better
