Tesla Semi has multiple packs that can be charged in parallel. The Megacharger will (likely) be 4 Superchargers combined. 1MW should be enough ;)

re: announcement, I'm surprised not much has been said about the flagship cars (S/X). With their current battery architecture (using 18650 batteries), they're not capable of 250kW charge rates. I wonder if they have recently updated them to new 2170 battery packs or if they're going to do that soon.



Elon said specifically on the most recent Tesla conference call that there are no current plans for 2170-based packs on the Model S & X.


Folks are speculating that a Model S/X refresh will be announced at the end of the Model Y unveiling next week.

It'd make sense, as both have had massive price drops recently, and haven't had a battery upgrade in two years.
