Hello, Hello,

Welcome to the Friday, May 25th, 2018 edition of Tesla Daily

Unofficial Tesla Podcast.

My name is Rob Maower. Today we were talking about the next generation. edition of Tesla Daily on official Tesla Podcast.

My name is Rob Mower.

Today we are talking about the Next Generation Supercharger,

as well as a little bit more on the Performance Model 3.

For Supercharging, we talked a little bit about this during the quarterly recap

because it was one of the questions that

Galileo asked to Elon.

From that we essentially learned that Tesla does still intend to improve the charge rate for

supercharging stations.

Right now the superchargers are capable of 145 kilowatt

charging but they are capped at 120 kilowatts currently. Elon and J.B on the last call

said that they think that 200 to 250 kilowatts is probably where the supercharging stations are eventually going to be going.

200 kilowatt charging over the course of 10 minutes should be able to add about 33 kilowatt hours,

assuming 240 watt hours used per mile for a model 3 long range, that would allow

you to add about 138 miles in 10 minutes from supercharging.

At a certain point, the charge will obviously have to

start tapering down as the battery becomes more full, so I think we'd kind of have to

wait and see to see how long it would take for other charging increments to happen.
