Supercharger V3, which starts rolling out early next year, will also charge much faster

Tesla Supercharger capacity will double by end of next year. Expect to be within range of 95% to 100% of population in all active markets.

@scottymeuk @ScaleyMurrsuit No, it’s got enough load capacity & volume to carry the battery pack & our current pack energy density is about double that of original Roadster. Still, it would probably only save about 30% to 40% of effort, all things considered.

@FredericLambert @frozencanuck @ScaleyMurrsuit In order of resource priority, but not necessarily production ramp, as that depends on thousands of parts & processes, which are extremely difficult to forecast

@tsrandall @frozencanuck @ScaleyMurrsuit What really matters is time to volume production, not initial market intro. Apart from brief moments, Tesla vehicle production is limited by total battery output.

@frozencanuck @ScaleyMurrsuit Lot on our plate, so it’s either get van gliders (no battery, powertrain or compute tech) from Daimler & produce sooner or do all & produce later. Not a big difference to total vehicles produced either way. Priority list is Model Y, solar roof tiles, pickup, semi, Roadster.

@frozencanuck @ScaleyMurrsuit Ok

@ScaleyMurrsuit Maybe interesting to work with Daimler/Mercedes on an electric Sprinter. That’s a great van. We will inquire.

@WillFealey Absolutely agree

@WillFealey Investigating

@vincent13031925 @jsteinerman Probably mid 2019

@LION_LIFER Tesla can provide heating/cooling/lights/music for days using battery

@WillFealey Not everywhere, but should be possible around major metros. Parts supply chain to UK should be fixed. Lmk if not.

@acevedo_lex @stars4a_amy @Tesla Should be possible. Please ask service & lmk response.

@ajaotj36 No, but perhaps in a few years

@stars4a_amy Yeah, good idea. We have that state internally, so can push data to phone app.

@jsteinerman Haha, just like Super Troopers

@WillFealey Ideal situation in breakdown/accident (assuming no injuries) is that Tesla arrives at scene fast with top-of-the-line service loaner

Will allow having your car picked up & dropped off or using mobile Tesla Rangers service vans if car lift isn’t needed

Adding functionality to Tesla phone app allowing owners to request service for top issues with 1 or 2 taps
