Isn't the Cybertruck supposed to eventually be able to do 1000kw? Pretty sure that was announced at the delivery event.
Nope. This gets confused with the presentation of their new immersed cables that their original goal was 1MW for that cable. Which that was surpassed with upto 1.2MW for the Semi. The CT was quoted at >250kW for nearly the whole time from announcement until the last 8 or so months. When the CT got opened up to CCS, that Tesla didn't advertise but has opened up this ~325kW for a while. For ~4-5 months they've been testings select V4s to ~325 and just announced a little over 2 months ago that 500kW would be support on full V4s and select V4s with V3 cabinets would moved up to the 325kW (which this is expanding that to all).



876 amps is the highest I've seen yet with NACS. I'm sure higher has happened, but an insane amount of amps being pushed. The CCS1 standard was limited to 500 amps.

3 hours away is perfect.

Every year it gets easier to do short, super quick, charge stops, 15 minutes or less, due to all the new Superchargers that keep getting added to the network.
That is the idea. More and more. I have 6 chargers at 80 miles out from me. Then another 4 at 180 miles. Almost a perfect world. My most used supercharger is over 1000 miles from homes. Looking back at 800k of driving. Having a supercharger in backyard would be something I would never go to.

I hit Kalispell this morning at 9%. Coolest thing was at about 30% the steam started rolling out. It was about 19F, and I was fully ready for a charge. Came in from 80 miles at about 80 mph with an hour of preconditioning. Just wanted to see if it had changed. I was there a week ago.

So 500kw is the max for the cybertruck or we don't know for sure?

Nothing is for sure, but odds are very, very high that it is the max. IIRC the CT battery is 816v nominal and 150ah. When we are near the bottom of the pack we are looking at a ~720v battery that is going to require about 700 amps to produce 500kW. Which is a 4.66 C rate. That is a very high C rate and not something we see in really any other production vehicle. Most vehicles out there tend to have their C rate capped at 3 (new Lucid Gravity at ~400kW is a ~3.5Crate). Getting much beyond 500kW is very unlikely given the technology we have today in mass production. The fact we are getting over 4 is frankly a bit insane... and also why it will not hold that rate for very long.

Not when towing. Cannot make it to any of them. Also, it's 3 hours one way, further the other way. V3 is fine, just would be nice to have more v4, especially when V2 is the only option. E.g. I75 TN to FL would be a lot nicer without 5+ hours of charging.

A lot of things in this world would be "nice". And if you want to pay for those things, you can have them all. But Tesla doesn't exist to make people with niche edge cases happy at the expense of others, they have to deploy their capital where and when it does the most good.

Maybe you should complain to Ford, GM, Toyota, VW (who was ordered by a federal court to spend $1 billion on N. American DCFC infrastructure) and the rest of legacy auto that they haven't put in enough charging infrastructure to keep you and your trailer happy in the winter.

None of these other players have done as much as Tesla, not even close, even all of them combined have failed to match what the little unprofitable Tesla startup did.
