Referring to their upcoming DC chargers: “I don’t think [Tesla is] going to be happy with how quickly these things roll out.”
I can't decide whether this guy's comments about their charger being a "game changer" are laughable or just sad.
True, the ability to "deliver an 80% charge in approximately 30 minutes" is pretty cool, but it's even cooler when an 80% charge can carry you 200+mi instead of the ~65mi that will get you in an i3.
In fairness, an 80% charge in a 85kWh Model S is more like 40 minutes than 30, but the same 30 min charge will still get you more than 2.5x as much range (170mi vs 65mi).
