2017 Model X 100D Supercharger capped at 100kW

That wont work. The sc cant be your destination. Your destination must be BEYOND the sc, and routed through it.

I think it works if you’re in the yellow. I had no build up time the several times I was yellow and my destination was the SC.

2018 March 100D here. Heavy use (>100 miles/day, did 35000 miles last year).
My rate is capped at 105kW (down from 118kW) since the latest update. I was a heavy supercharger user as I lived in an apartment (like a lot of Tesla owners do in Silicon Valley) that didn't provide EV charging.
Now I charge for 30 mins at the SC (in the dead of the night)regardless of rate, drive home and hook it up to a 110v/12A outlet. Get around 40 miles more overnight.

Still Trying to Figure This All Out
It was, Im just not sure where I read it... It specifically said "supercharger can not be final destination"
Please try to find the source. This makes no sense. That would be a terrible limitation.
I didn't say it won't charge at 140, I said it's not designed to "preheat" unless your destination is routed through an sc.Not correct .. I have charged a few times >140 with the SC being my destination
This is what you said in post “The sc cant be your destination...”
“ It specifically said "supercharger can not be final destination”
Let me CLARIFY: For PRECONDITIONING/HEATING TO WORK, The sc cant be your destination. This does not mean in your specific trip you won't get 140kwh charge (or greater), it means that the battery wont PREHEAT (go out of it's way to get you a faster charge) if you arent going anywhere after you charge.
Now this being Tesla, that could have changed already lol :-/

It sure would be nice to know where you saw this. I searched TMC and came up short.
If Tesla's goal with the battery warmup is to decrease charging time in order to free up chargers, it would not make sense to only do this for through charging. A charger occupied regardless of where the final destination is is still a charger occupied.
I agree 100% and for the life of me I can't remember where I saw it (release notes maybe?)
Feel like we are on the same boat.
I’m trying to estimate how many kWh charges are needed to get capped.
im not exclusively charging my car at SC but more than average users.
That is the purpose but meant for the winter.
Summer day like recently are not enough that the battery is already over 30C when parked overnight.
It doesn’t make sense to preheat battery since it’s warm enough
It makes big difference in winter since on-route preheat ensure max possible speed when arrive SC, and it does reduce charging time in WINTER
The worse problem? They are too many model 3s on the street now and service center are overloaded.
I have a good relationship with my local sc, but at the end of the day, my car charges and it drives, it means no problem.
Slow charging isn’t a problem to them, even we think they are and they are too busy to care your not-a-problem problem
