Yes, the current CT charging curve decreases below 250kW at about 25% SOC and continues it's taper. The charge curve below 250kW is only slightly more than what the Model 3 LR pack demonstrated in 2019. It's pretty sad actually, especially when you consider the CT pack is more than 50% larger...

The Cybertruck is known to have poor DC fast charging rates. The C-rates for the Gen 1 & 2 4680 cells are similar and significantly inferior to other Teslas. But I suppose the CT does set an EV truck standard due to it's build quantities. Against the CT, the R1 does similar in optimal...

Compared to what or according to what metric? I thought the R1 DCFC charge rates and thermal derating were mediocre at best.

For those that might be curious about the aerodynamic design philosphy behind the Range wheel, you can review this study: Investigation-of-Wheel-Ventilation-Drag-using-a-Modular-Wheel-Design-Concept The lowest aero drag configuration in the study is this: The key characteristics are a nearly...

R1S's have a 7,700 lb tow rating and a 810 lb hitch weight rating. Another R1 advantage is the front charge port location, which allows more opportunity for DC fast charging without disconnecting the trailer. Another R1 disadvantage is the charging curve, especially in terms of C-rate. The R1...
