Feels like Apple messaging all over again. Moving from floppy/3.5 disk base computers to no disk computers. They were right , but the out cry for the first few years was very critical of that decision.I agree that they are ahead of most, what I meant was more I don't think even Tesla is at a place where they can stop investing in trying to figure out how to make charging faster.
I think it's very likely that 800v is on their timeline and they are looking into rolling it out at some point, maybe not necessarily soon as you say, but my point is more on messaging - they are not going to say on the earnings call 'yeah, we think in a few years charging will be a lot better than it is, will take only 5 min on a Tesla to go from 10% to 80%, but we're not there yet so it is what it is for anyone ordering a new Tesla today'.
It's like the heat pump thing - (before they rolled it out) Tesla doesn't need it, our battery tech is so good, it wouldn't make much of a difference; (after they rolled it out) EVs without heat pumps are trash.
You can bet there will be similar messaging once Tesla decides to launch 800v architecture.
