However, if you look at the extra weight compared to what people expected and the smaller pack than expected, it could be that the larger cells need more cooling which means they won’t be able to charge faster without damaging the packs.I really think that it's software conservative. With it being so new and not enough data for it. It's no different than what ford did with the mach e for the 1st year.
All these people want to make excuses for data that doesn’t meet the hype. I think with the current production, you won’t see upgrades over time. If they develop better cooling with less weight and change the pack design then maybe you’ll see gains but Tesla doesn’t need to spend more money designing a pack to charge faster in MY. When they put 100 kWh in the CT to get 300 miles, that is when they’ll need faster charging curves. Or 200 kWh in semi.
Look how many cars they sell a year. The charging speed is obviously not an issue.
