My 22Kw (2021) went out with the red circle of death, and they replaced it with an 11Kw one, they knew right away, and they paid for it. It's for AC and most US houses can't supply enough current for 22Kw, so the 11Kw works fine.
5 min charging is great, but remember, power in = power out, so if a car can be charged to 100% today with 250A 800V, it will need 10 times that to do twice as big is 5 minutes.

They covered mine under warranty. Since this was a defect on their part, it should be covered anyway. They are all literally failing.
