Tesla's HPWC Gets Significant Upgrades, Cheaper Price

• insideevs.com

The company made no public mention of the charger as it has obviously been very busy lately – a that trend has no chance of slowing for a long time.  Perhaps an oversight?

The new Tesla Wall Connector is a home charging station for current Model S and X customers. It boasts the same 80 amps of the prior charger, but has dropped $250 in price.

Included in the new features is "power sharing". The technology will allow for one circuit breaker to power up to 4 wall connectors. This will aid owners of multiple Tesla vehicles. It is a key time for such an option since many of those placing reservations for the Model 3 are current Tesla owners. Also, the same is true as the Model X is beginning to hit the roadways, driven by many Tesla fans that already own a Model S.

As part of the update to the Model S, the standard on-board charger is now 48 amps, just like that of the Model X.
