Yes, in 2016 Porsche and others got the standard extended past 850v for their planned vehicles. So version 2.0 would also, but that's technically just the communications end.Sorry @Crissa, I'm not up on my CCS compliance. Does CCS 2016 require the charger to be able handle 900VDC systems? (I tried a cursory google search. I didn't find the answer, got lazy and decided to ask)
1% motor efficiency improvement is not a lot generally, but when you're trying to scrape up every last mile of range in an EV, you work hard for even small improvements.3% transformer loss is dandy, while Musk is trying to squeeze out another almost 1% of motor efficiency and we all applaud that. Funny shit. Carry on.
kWh are the same size, no matter the voltage. It would not.So double the voltage of the traditional battery means we will likely have a double DC charge to two 450v battery packs at the supercharger.
This also means it would likely only charge one at a time and could possibly split the power between motors based on demand and charge level. Dynamic charging and battery distribution would be great. Especially if they make two 450v battery segments that can be swapped out separately if needed.
lolnow, now.
Have you even driven the torquiest 430 volt Tesla's? More torque is only good for bragging rights, current Tesla's produce more torque than the tires can handle.The higher voltage will also mean the powertrain can generate more torque. In a towing or off-roading scenario, this would be a welcome addition. Tesla has also stated that the 900 volt configuration only really makes sense for larger vehicles (Semi and CT) and that it is not cost effective for the 3 or Y.
That's a bummer I was hoping it could be two packs, double kwh or close to it. Parallel or series depending on demand, doubling range or power as needed. A dynamic battery.kWh are the same size, no matter the voltage. It would not.
We'll see more across the next six months. Everything points to a year from now, now.

The demo long range tri-motor was to have a double pack, according to insiders, but we have no way of verifying that.That's a bummer I was hoping it could be two packs, double kwh or close to it. Parallel or series depending on demand, doubling range or power as needed. A dynamic battery.
For sure I will need pull through charging as I will be full-time pulling a toy hauler.Maybe this is what semi super chargers use, and that would lead to what I've suggested in the past... Semi super chargers with pull through stations for use with CT.
