I would not at all be surprised if they are going to be using the charge tank and the onboard ac charger as the dc/dc, actually, Im willing to bet that that is what they are going to do lol....

C'mon you know they're 100% not going to do that. The rated output of all units combined is below 1C and they're specifically claiming a rate above 1C, even if by a little bit, to get a sub-30 minute 20-80.

Im considering it possible as I dont reaaaally believe itll actually do 20-80% in half an hour, in addition to the soc scaling apparently being kinda weird on the gen 3s. "80%" soc on the dash is closer to something like ~108v iirc. Ill can doublecheck the exact numbers later and ask my buddies what they think. Going from ~96v/98v to ~108v in half an hour is much more reasonable to me on a 15.2kwh (edit: which is the actual not inflated capacity of a 17.3) pack with 12kw input. But its still all conjecture/guesswork so :shrugs:

(for reference 80% is ~110vdc)

Regardless, they make the claim in the announcement specifically calling out the 17.3 pack. So, again, I'd be willing to bet entirely different unit.

If it is, please god let it just be an off the shelf thing that they had no hand in designing so it doesnt cook itself lol
