So this is part of the listing for a 2021 FX:
2021 Zero FX ZF7.2, Never run out of gas on the trails with the new 2021 Zero FX ZF7.2. This electric monster charges fast so you don't have to wait to take your next trip. Call Grand Prix Motorsports today at 303-761-2471.

Now is this advertising to grab attention or is it in fact a nod to having an increased AC charger onboard?

The plot (maybe) thickens.

We'll know in a few days.

uuhh, does this mean the new 3kW charger will come in with the FX(S) Z7.2 pack as an option (or by default)?
This would make FXS an even better Urban commuter with some real (if not full) L2 charging capability.
Is this 3kW an actual thing, a rumour with some justification behind it, or just something that you're hopeful for?

I don't know what it means.
It just seemed like a strange way to write up an ad.

The person writing it may know something we don't or they could know nothing about the bikes and they are trying to be funny.
I've seen dealers list them with free lifetime oil changes to be cute before.

It's on Cycle Trader if you want to see it.

So this 3kW charger is the one that comes with the SR/F/S standard models. Just that this has not yet been introduced in the other models until now and the FX(S) models could benefit from getting this on.

I'll say that "if" they can be retro fitted to the other bikes they "should" be.

We don't know at this point if they have or have not done so.

And here is the new S in the new color, Storm.

P.S. the FX has the old DS green in some of it's panels not the grey that I thought it had in some pictures.

Nice color, but not enough to entice me off of my 2018 with its 13kWh battery.

That DS is a photo from the Zero site which is supposedly the 2020 colour scheme, that S is different though.

I would have bet a $1000 the 20 DS was the baby puke green.  Guess I missed that.

Sonora should be am orangeish brown.

2013 and 2018 were green. I thought by Sonora you were talking about a place (turns out it actually is), like the location of the dealer. The unofficial manual lists the 2019 as being Sandstone (the 2020 looks to be the same), my bike is registered as being beige but that my just be down to interpretation from whoever first registered it. The Zero site doesn't name the colours although there is an RGB value hidden away, Google "rgb(161, 154, 147)" and you can see it.

I'm not sure that right, but RGB is famous for not picking beiges out right.

I like the FX with the green shoulders,  but the battleship blue S isn't as pretty as the SR/S.
