The End of V3: Tesla's Gigafactory Produces Its Last V3 Supercharger Cabinet
After seven years and over 15,000 units built, the final V3 Supercharger power cabinet has rolled off Tesla's Gigafactory New York production line, marking the official transition to the V4 era.
On March 16-18, 2026, Tesla crossed a historic milestone at its Gigafactory New York: the final V3 Supercharger power cabinet rolled off the production line. After more than seven years and over 15,000 units built, the V3 era has officially ended.
The V3 Supercharger legacy:
- Introduced in 2019 with 250kW peak charging
- Over 15,000 cabinets produced at Gigafactory New York
- Deployed across thousands of stations worldwide
- Dramatically reduced charging times compared to V2
What changes with V4:
- 500kW peak power for passenger vehicles
- 1.2MW capability for the Tesla Semi
- Three times the power density at lower cost
- Eight stalls per cabinet (double V3's capacity)
- New foldable design for faster deployment
Existing V3 stations will continue to operate normally and will be maintained. However, all new installations will use V4 hardware exclusively.
For drivers, the transition means faster charging speeds at new stations. The Supercharger for Tesla app shows the power rating of each station, making it easy to identify V4 locations for the fastest possible charge.
