How much time does it take a Long Range Tesla Model 3 battery pack to be charged from almost an empty state of charge (SoC) to almost 100% full? The answer lies in the video below where the owner takes us to a Tesla Supercharger V3 (up to 250 kW) in Las Vegas, NV (High Roller at LINQ).

The thing I liked about this Supercharger location is that it is blocked until you enter the code that is shown on your Tesla vehicle’s center touchscreen, parking fee applies after one hour of stay at this location. Entering with a code to a Supercharger greatly reduces the risk of ICE cars blocking Tesla owners from charging their cars (aka ICE-ing).

250 kW V3 Superchargers ideally add 1,000 miles (~1,600 km) of range per hour to Tesla Model 3s with the correct software update in place (now widely released), so it seems possible for this Model 3 owner to leave the Supercharger station before the parking fee toll starts.

Tesla introduced V3 Supercharging earlier this year which was only available to Early Access Program participants at first, the V3 capable Tesla Superchargers are expanding slowly in parts of the United States but the Trans-Canada Highway is getting 26 V3 out of 46 total Superchargers, reported by The Verge.

According to Tesla, the V3 Supercharging adds 75 miles in just 5 mins and reduces the overall charging time by up to 50% — this is a huge time saver and a glimpse into the future where electric cars will be able to spend around the same time internal combustion engine vehicles do at a gas station.
