Cybertruck can now charge up to 325kW on select V4 Superchargers!

[AlmostHuman]

Finally got to test one. Started at 9%. Maxed at 321 at 14%. We didn’t have time to do a long test, was still pulling 140 kW @ 50% SoC

Charging my Beast at a v4 now. I’ll post data later.

Dope rims, my dude.

What state?

Utah, the Farr West location on the list.

Oh the truck wanted more:

I wish the V4 here on Long Island was that powerful.

On my way from San Francisco to Los Angeles I was routed to the 325 kWh new station in Lebec, CA (the Grapvine). I plugged in at 16% and it peaked at 19% to 20%. Went below 250 kWh at 26% and went below 150% at 46%. Air temps were 58°F and it was preconditioned. It took 18 minutes to go from 16% to 61%

When I head back to San Francisco on Sunday, I am going to try and stop there one more time and get my battery nice and low. I don’t expect better results, but it seems by all accounts it will hit close to 325 kWh, but drop off quickly.

This was my experience using my first V4 supercharger in Florida. 18 stalls, only one there, battery at less than 6% and fully conditioned on arrival and it never got higher than this

Yep, just left the V4 charger made it to about 105 KW...

Keep in mind that the local utility also has to be able to provide that high of output. If they can’t, then the CT won’t reach that speed. Of course. (Just a reminder.)

I've only been to the older V4 Superchargers with a 250 kW limit. Every time I've plugged in they have quickly ramped to over 250 kW (usually 252-254 kW) which is faster than I need or want in most road break situations. I think I will be purposefully avoiding the faster 350 kW Superchargers to give me the 20 minutes I generally need to get back to the vehicle after my rest break.

I've just back from a road trip through Kansas, they had 3 non-tesla superchargers, with NACs and everything. They are 400kW chargers. I didn't pay attention to the max wattage, but I'm pretty sure I got over 325kW, I know got to least 325kw. Also they are trying to word out about their new stations, so pricing a few cents less than Tesla, and the stations are nicer, shaded covers, trashcans, window cleaner supplies.

The V4 cable is limited to ~105kW when the immersion cable cooling is down. That is likely the reason for any limitation on a V4 pedestal (though some bugs exist still).

Generally any amount over 250kW or 325kW right now is due other usage in the vehicle. Tesla will send those amounts to the battery (+/- 1-2 kW) and the few above those numbers are for climate, computers, battery cooling, etc.

The Ionna stations (the ones in Kansas referenced) that are coming out are Aplitronic 400kW units that run at upto 1000v. So right now the CT will request ~800v and still top out at the charge curve requested (Tesla briefly had this unlocked, but reverted back quickly... likely won't unlock until V4s are ready). It is anecdotal and currently impossible to test back to back to have 100% certainty, but these 800+v chargers do tend to hold the peak rate a bit longer and more consistently. Which signals there is some issue between the dispenser and the battery pack limiting the current V4 dispensers (the ones powered by V3 cabinets). Not surprising given the extreme amperage needed for that level of power at ~400v.
