Tesla even plans on providing power to the moored car ships so they don't have to run their aggregates for power in the harbor.

The Model 3s come with European CCS charge plugs to make use of the fast charging network.
Some CCS fast chargers go all the way up to 175 kW, and when a fresh Model 3 owner decided to use one of those it delivered no less than 126 kW to the car, charging it from about 10% to 45% SOC in under 13 minutes.
