Changes to Models S and X allow them to travel longer without larger batteries
&gt; <i>Model S and Model X are now capable of achieving 200 kW on V3 Superchargers and 145 kW on V2 Superchargers. Together, these improvements enable our customers to recharge their miles 50% faster.</i><p>What does that mean exactly? I&#x27;m sure there are sections of the charge curve where it is 50% faster, but you need to consider the entire charge curve to get a better sense of the improvement.<p>The Tesla Model 3&#x27;s charge times were improved by the combination of battery preconditioning and the faster V3 Supercharger. A charge that used to take 60 minutes can now be done in 40 minutes:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;electrek.co&#x2F;2019&#x2F;03&#x2F;07&#x2F;tesla-v3-supercharger-action-first-look&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;electrek.co&#x2F;2019&#x2F;03&#x2F;07&#x2F;tesla-v3-supercharger-action-...</a><p>I&#x27;d call that 33% faster charging. So is the Model S and Model X charge time improvement across the entire charge curve or just sections of it?
