Tesla Changes Up Nomenclature For Model S and X

^^^ I havent really read any technical data about the BYD battery system. I was going off on the sensationalist headlines and youtube thumbnails to base my quick opinion of it.    I said this and left it on the table because I had a suspicion that there was some sort of catch. Thanx @Drew Dowdell for the info.  Ill look more into it.  Intriguing BYD is at this moment.  Im not trusting of BYD just yet.  I will not make the mistake in praising BYD as quickly as I did with Tesla a decade ago.  I regret being naive about Tesla. And although the Model S was a huge leap forward and was quite the impressive machine when it debuted, I feel like even though the Model S was thst good, I feel I was duped just the same.   

Well..... no. BYD's battery tech has limitations with distribution.  Getting 1000kWh charging is difficult anywhere, especially here in North America where we are built out for 110v service.  Functionally, the BYD batteries don't change the equation because most people don't charge at public chargers AND because getting 1000kWh chargers is going to be a big lift.  Heck, getting 350kWh chargers is often asking a lot.  That said, if BYD comes to the US, they will be right on par with Porsche / Hyundai / Kia / Genesis for having the fastest charging cars on the fastest chargers we have available. The real breakthrough will be if Toyota can make their solid-state batteries work because they accept a charge faster than the existing technology while using the same existing charging infrastructure. Where an EValanche might have a peak charge rate of 350kWh, the charge curve starts and ends much lower than that, which lengthens total charge time.  With solid state batteries, the charge curve is more like a flat line.  You start at 350kw (or whatever the rating) and you end at 350kw.  That's what makes charging solid-state batteries so much faster even if you're using the same DC fast charger.  If Toyota can really make it work, they can 1-Up BYD by simply saying, "Well ours don't need special chargers to get that charging speed"
