Tesla has officially launched faster charging speeds for Cybertruck owners across all V4 Supercharging stalls, after the company began rolling out quicker speeds for the electric vehicle (EV) just last month.
In a post on X on Monday evening, the Tesla Charging account announced that all V4 Supercharging posts will now let Cybertrucks charge at 325kW, ahead of the company’s deployment of V4 charging cabinets that will allow even faster speeds. Tesla first started deploying the 325kW Cybertruck speeds at select sites with V3 cabinets last month, after piloting a few initial trials of faster charging speeds last summer.
The company’s other vehicles cap out at 250kW charging speeds, which can be accessed even on V3 Superchargers. However, the Cybertruck’s 800-volt architecture allows it to charge even more quickly, and once V4 cabinets are rolled out, the vehicles will be able to charge at speeds of up to 500kW.
A few other non-Tesla EVs including the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 also feature 800v architecture, though it’s not yet clear if these vehicles will immediately gain access to the 325kW Supercharger speeds.

Tesla began quietly deploying its V4 Supercharging stalls in multiple markets throughout 2023, stoking many questions about when owners would get access to faster speeds. In November, Tesla also shared plans to improve other elements of its V4 Superchargers, including the deployment of longer cables to accommodate non-Tesla EVs, and improving the accuracy of stall availability from navigation.
Charging Director Max de Zegher has pointed to Tesla’s production of pre-fabricated Supercharger stalls at its Buffalo, New York factory as one of the reasons the company has been able to roll charging stations out so quickly in recent years, along with including significant cost-savings. As such, de Zegher has said that Supercharger prices should also come down as these savings are passed onto the consumer, as was spotted in many locations in late 2024.

Tesla is building a new UFO-inspired Supercharger in the heart of Alien country

Tesla is planning to build a new UFO-inspired Supercharger in the heart of Alien country — Roswell, New Mexico.
Back in 1947, a crash of debris led to rumors of an alleged crash of a UFO just 75 miles north of Roswell near Corona, New Mexico. The crash was officially noted as the recovery of a military balloon, but over the years, speculation persists that the “flying disc” many saw might have been extraterrestrials trying to make contact with Earth.
As a result of the 1947 crash, Roswell has adopted it and used it as the inspiration for much of its tourism. As Tesla is planning to build a Supercharger in the area, it is using the same sort of inspiration for the location, which will feature just eight charging stalls located under a CyberCanopy.
It was first spotted by MarcoRP, a noted Supercharger permit insider:

Tesla’s Head of Charging for North America, Max de Zegher, confirmed that the site will be inspired by the events near Roswell in 1947. He noted that Tesla “wants to build a few Superchargers cool enough to be worth of the trip itself.”
This will undoubtedly be one of those locations, and along with the Tesla Drive-in Diner Supercharger in Santa Monica, it seems the company could be moving toward some more unique designs for the future, making the charging experience more fun and interesting for owners:

This Tesla vandal caused thousands in damage, but she was let off the hook: Here’s why

A Tesla vandal in Bloomington, Minnesota, caused $3,200 in damages to a car after keying it. However, the local police department, as well as the owner of the Tesla, let her off the hook.
As a Tesla sat in the parking lot of a Cub Foods grocery store, it was damaged in an act of vandalism that we are unfortunately seeing all too frequently. Police managed to locate the woman responsible for the damage, aiming to hold her responsible for the scrapes she applied to the vehicle.
However, in an act that many might not be able to perform, the owner of the Tesla did not want to pursue any criminal charges. Instead, they just wanted their car fixed.
Police Chief Booker Hodges said (via Minnesota Star Tribune):
“The victim in this case just wanted their car fixed, and they just wanted the suspect to pay for that. Based on the totality of the circumstances here, and along with our core value of being compassionate, this is the best outcome for everybody involved in this case.”
It was an incredible act of forgiveness, as many of those who have had their Teslas damaged in response to CEO Elon Musk likely would not have been able to do the same thing. One person who had their vehicle keyed filed a civil lawsuit against the vandal, who damaged their car while it was parked at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, seeking $1 million in damages.
Chief Hodges finished his remarks about this specific situation by calling out the leaders who have spread a hateful narrative about Musk and Tesla, and the company’s vehicle owners as well:
“We need our leaders to start leading and stop feeding this rhetoric. People should be able to drive whatever car they want without fear of going into a store and someone scratching their car or people yelling at them because of the car that … they choose to drive. It’s time for all of us, you know, just to start getting along and knock this stuff off, man. People should be able to be left alone.”
While Chief Hodges did not mention anyone specifically, Minnesota politician and former VP candidate Tim Walz said earlier this month that he “gets a boost” when Tesla stock falls. He later retracted his statement by stating it was just a joke.

Tesla Model Y tops Norway sales despite low Q1 delivery results
The new Model Y ended March as Norway’s top-selling vehicle for the month, with 1,819 units sold.

Tesla did not meet delivery expectations in the first quarter of 2025, and a huge reason behind this was the changeover to the new Model Y in Giga Texas, the Fremont Factory, Giga Shanghai, and Giga Berlin.
Despite Tesla’s disappointing Q1 vehicle delivery results, the new Model Y still made a significant impact in key markets such as Norway.
The new Model Y’s Norway Comeback
While sales of the new Model Y in January and February were low in Norway, the vehicle saw a lot of momentum as soon as deliveries of the updated all-electric crossover started. This resulted in the new Model Y ending March 2025 as Norway’s top-selling vehicle for the month, with 1,819 units sold.
Over the course of Q1 2025, Tesla was able to sell a total of 2,792 Model Y units. That was enough to also make the all-electric crossover Norway’s best-selling vehicle in the first quarter. This is quite an impressive feat for Tesla, especially since sales were throttled during the quarter due to the company’s changeover to the new Model Y.
Tesla in Other European Markets
Tesla’s results in Europe during the first quarter were a mixed bag. In Germany alone, Tesla saw 4,935 vehicles sold in Q1 2025. As per the German road traffic agency KBA, Tesla’s sales in March dropped 42.5% to 2,229 units year-over-year. This was despite overall EV registrations rising 35.3% during the month.
In Italy, new vehicle registrations rebounded 51% in March from the previous year to 2,217 units, as per data from the Transport Ministry. This is still quite impressive considering that Tesla has become a very polarizing carmaker in Europe, thanks in no small part to CEO Elon Musk’s politics and close relation to U.S. President Donald Trump.
