  • 10C* charging isn’t all that exceptional

    But also charging a Tesla on a road trip takes ~15 minutes each couple of hundred kilometres, that’s often not enough time to get a coffee and use a toilet; it’s never long enough to get a meal.

    On a thousand kilometre trip recently for a lunch break my partner would find a place to get lunch and order for themself and me while I waited in the car for it to become charged enough. I would generally get to the lunch place before food was served

    Faster isn’t much use until it’s fast like filling a petrol tank

    *10 times capacity – Charging rate 10 times faster in kilowatts than the battery capacity in kilowatt-hours
