What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Lars Moravy, Tesla's vice president of vehicle engineering, stated that the Thruster version of the Tesla Roadster currently requires two to six hours to refill its nitrogen tank from an external high-pressure supply. Tesla plans to reduce this refill time to under 30 minutes. This refill time applies to the 200-liter tank, not the larger setup on the Rocket version.
