Interesting / long thread with the usual, expected, viewpoints... hoping Tesla/ @JonMc helps us all understand the counter increment criteria and thresholds on which limits, to help stop the masterdebaters (see what I did there? ;-))
On a separate question: Given that there are numerous counters that affect charging rates permanently based upon use history, has anyone done the determination of potential impact if/when able to charge at Elon's promised >300kW updated SpCs?
Pointless exercise, really, since no current car will ever reach those levels. Beyond just the batteries not able to receive that level of charge since they would be damaged, the other components wouldn't be able to withstand it either. Either wk057 or one of the other engineers/hackers who break down the packs noted that the wires and other components of the car would have to be upgraded to safely transfer/absorb the heat generated by that much electricity. Any cars that could take advantage of that would have different battery chemistries and any calculations done here would have no bearing on them.
