My personal opinion is Megachargers will be at trucking depots only. Like Walmart etc. As far as time at a Supercharger. Most model 3 or model Y stops at V3 Superchargers are closer to 15 minutes. Mostly because most people stop every few hours for a break and just plug in while they walk the dog, pee, have a snack.

(Model x and model s charge slower although that may change this summer).

Tesla postponed their much anticipated Battery Day to mid or late May from supposedly this month.

It's all rumor now until Tesla comes with official specs but the excitement is all about new technology for longer range and shorter re-charging turn around time.

Focus is on official range for the semi and the Cybertruck with Tesla's habit of constant improvement while on the development of new launches. Everyone and his brother say any new features of the coming launches will cascade to Tesla's downstream models as their usual practice given as an upgrade for current owners.

Short answer is I don't know really. It's Wild Wild West out there in Tesla (Official) Owners' Forum with techies, hypes, speculators and tarot card readers. But some are spot on specially those who bother and got the skills to do reverse engineering of Tesla's newly released software that some says gives a hint of upcoming development -- already in the software but Tesla has not yet activated.

Well, we have been driving EV's for about 5 years. Other than the diesel pusher they are our only transport method. They are not suited to everybodies needs in all conditions but they have been great for us. I have no doubt that the battery tech in my wifes model 3 will be outdated in a year. It was the same with our first generation leaf which still serves me well as my daily commuter. Technology moves fast. We are lucky though. Up until recently we rarely went on a trip of more than 300 km without using the motorhome. That has changed and it is why she got a model 3 as now that number is closer to 740 km. So a perfect fit for a model 3 AWD.

Even before Covid 19 EV's were great because the vast majority of charging was done at home and you never had to touch a gas pump. Now its even more important. If you are the only person using your garage charger you never have to worry about what kind of person used the gas pump before you.

Just sayin...its a thing. :)
