Building Superchargers since 2014

This feature may seem small, but it's pretty incredible. Through an AC ripple current coming from the Superchargers, cold-soaked LFP vehicles will be able to get back on the road up to 4X faster. This is possible through Tesla's vertical integration and some of our incredible
Supercharger battery heating is now live at V3 and V4 posts in cold climates. When plugging in, Superchargers can now pre-heat batteries for Model 3/Y that are standard range, rear wheel drive. This gets you back on the road faster in extreme cold conditions. Whenever you.

The V4 post is capable of charging up to 500kW on the V4 cabinet (coming in 2025) and 325kW on the existing V3 cabinet. Excited to already start improving Charging for @cybertruck.

Although not as mind-blowing as catching a rocket with chopsticks… for the teams behind it, every Supercharger opening feels like a little miracle of collaboration with permitting jurisdictions, site hosts & utilities. The new routes that they open up bring happiness to.

@NicklasNilsso14 As forecasted, Swedish EV drivers are suffering and EV infrastructure is not keeping up unless Superchargers get energized by the utilities blocking them from getting energized. Tesla Superchargers are critical infrastructure, especially for peak travel days like this. 100+.

We also have a future forecast of this graph, which helps us plan new Superchargers to meet demand. We don't always get it right, but do our best to stay ahead. Unique to the Supercharger network is a mission-driven approach, prioritizing dependability & freedom to travel.

Q4 is our biggest annual openings quarter. We want to be timely with our capital expenses, but still build sites in time for end of year holiday travel. Amazing work by the lean teams burning the midnight oil to make this happen!.
In Q4, we:. → Opened 3.6K Supercharger stalls, +19% year-over-year network growth. → Delivered 1.4 TWh, +24% year-over-year growth. → Saved 620+ million liters of gasoline, offsetting 1.4+ billion kg of CO2.

Despite all OEMs already transitioning to NACS, government funding and many utility programs in North America still mandate installing CCS1. This seems to be an inefficient use of taxpayer or ratepayer money for a standard that's quickly becoming obsolete.
CCS1 wasn’t designed. It was just a mush of standards that wasn’t thought through at all. So glad we actually have NACS as a standard for all.
