After a braking event I previously described (slowing of a car in the exit lane) I've developed a keener eye for this instance and can hold the wheel left in anticipation of the brakes coming on. Slight acceleration helps too.

There's no documentation that the J1772 system will recognize or override the Tesla charge limit. You get what you pay for I guess.

Thought so. How does one prevent overcharge?

I've had the brakes come on in reaction to a car exiting the traveled right lane ahead of me (auto-follow set 4) and decelerate the car in order to, so-to-speak, avoid hitting the highway exiting car in the exit lane. If that car had stopped so would my car but in the adjoining lane. Still no...

Has anyone experienced the lack of conversation between the Model S and the J1772 charging system? I left my charge limit set at 70 % ('16 Model S 90D) and returned to find the battery charged to 90-95%. I asked the valet parking attendant if he'd changed the setting and he replied "NO"...

I don't think so. I also don't have the charging record for the time I parked at that lot. All I know is I came back to a fully charged battery. I have an inquiry into Tesla. MTC

The parking lot is valet parking and, whereas the app works there, the charge limit is simply bypassed. I thin this needs a Tesla engineers opinion. Thanks

2016 Model S 90D When I drop my car at the local Fly and Drive parking I leave it at the charging station, plugged in using my own adapter and charge limit set to 80% (enough to get me home after my trip). The charging station is a level 2 charger, IEC Type 1, J1772. When I return I find the...

Home chargers are not Superchargers. I have all night to recharge at more reasonable rates usually around midnight.

I installed my mid-Nov. '16 with 100 amp service. From the charger manual (and confirmed on my first charge), '16 90D, all I could do was charge at 48amps due to the onboard charger limit. The onboard charger limit is just that unless you have the optional dual charger. Understand that the...
