A nice product for Tesla to produce and sell (maybe at a reasonable price...) would be a Moderate-Power, Tesla-connector DC charger. This would be a great product for high power home charging and a high end Destination Charger. Just like Superchargers, Destination Chargers, and reasonable priced HPWC's, it would be in Tesla's interest to sell this at a reasonable price.
See Update: Model X has a single charger, but only 48A capable for concerns that some Model X buyers have about being limited to 48 Amp charging, as well as the general need for a medium power charger between Superchargers.
Here is a proposal for a strawman design:

Here is a proposal for a strawman design:
- Use 3 of the 48 Amp charging modules. This would allow up to 36 kW from the charger.
- Allow use of single and 3-phase connections, including 3-phase 277/480 Volts for commercial setups.
- Have several power levels to support various circuit/wire sizes. For example, in the 240V, single phase mode, allow power levels for 200, 175, 150, 125, 100, 90, and 80 Amp breakers. Allow similar 3-phase breaker choices.
- A reasonable size unit with wall mount and outdoor options.
