Highly unlikely Tesla will release a faster charger for home use. There is little to no reason for it. 48 amps (actual) is plenty for overnight charging for all but the most extreme cases.Guys we have an earlier post on this where we acknowledge, like the other large truck batt and charging requirements of Hummer EV, Lightening, REV, 80 amps will be necessary. Tesla Gen 1 Wall Connector provided 80 amps but has been discontinued. I think this will be back as a gen 4.
If you want to be ready, run 100 or 125 amp circuit from the main to where the WC will be setup, leave 6 foot slack loop, or to an sub panel. Regardless, this will be a hardwire connection.
Think we are in a holding pattern until Tesla provides the CT charging spec.
Worst case CT 200kw pack will require 20 hours at 48 amps to charge, vs approx 10 hours for 80.
A lot (maybe a majority?) of homes would struggle with adding an extra 100 amp service which further limits how useful it would be.
