There are some installed already, but full rollout really needs Supercharger V3 and Powerpack V2, plus SolarCity. Pieces now in place.

Supercharger V3? Now I'm curious. What power out are we talking about? 350 kW?

Nope. Probably only vehicles equipped with battery packs built with new 2170 cells from the Gigafactory.

If not cooled, charging cables will probably get super hot and/or heavy if charging at 400V and >350kW

I can see them get hot but how would they get heavy? Electricity is pretty much weightless.
