[2019.12.1.2] [Supercharging]

[puritan]

Ever since the move to 2019.12.1.x, the peak supercharging rate has dropped down from a very regular 114kW to just about 103kW.

I have enough data points from a bunch of different 150kW max supercharging stations. I'm a high mileage driver who largely lives off the supercharger. I charge at off peak houra (11P-1A) and ensure the other stall (A/B) is never occupied.

I normally start charging when the SOC is about 20%.

This is kind of a let down for me as I was looking forward to 150kW peak rates with the pre-warmed battery pack.

To summarize:

2019.9.x.x and before: Regular peak rates of 114kW.
2019.12.x.x: Peak rate doesn't go past 103kW.
Reason for irritation: Software updatebwsu supposed to unlock 150kW peak rates.

Has anyone else had the same experience?

I got this the other day
old |v2019.8.6|AP2,MCU1,PUP|
new |v2019.12.1.1|AP2,MCU1,PUP|

It's the opposite for me (90D), I had 103kw max before and now I can reach 116kw (same as my old S85 was doing since day 1) I imagine that's the max of the Supercharger stations (I'm in Europe). Maybe 20% is not "low" enough to reach max peak.

Recently on 12.1.1 at 30% SOC, I did 126kw peak.

I heard if you rely on SC regularly it will actually "hurt" the battery pack and the SC will limit the peak rate to protect your battery.
SC is intended for long-road trip and 90-95% of the times should be home or destination charging.

What pack do you have ...? I have gotten 150 and 146 at two diff SCs.. I have 100 pack on 12.1

I’m on 12.1.1 in my MXP100DL and before I received this update, I would regularly see 116kw on charging. Now the best I have seen is 108kw. I’ve tried 10 different SC and all have the same result. Station shows 150kw available and I’m the only one here. Batteries are warm.
Not working as advertised for me...

Interestingly I have a 2017 MX 75D, with the older battery that supposedly can't go above 96 kW. On Sunday at a 150kW supercharger, I achieved 111 kW (358 mi/hr), beginning around 20%. For my 75D pack, I was very happy about the 111kW max

I'm on 12.1.2

At San Clemente now pretty crowded and this was I got with short nav to SC XP100

Reached out to SC and asked them. They said that everyone is seeing varying speeds and it's because the general battery health and other additional factors are taken into consideration while setting the peak rate.

Since 90% of my charging is at the SC, I'm assuming my battery is at a lower state of health compared to the guys who have home charging.

It will be interesting to see how this has affected tesloop's fleet.

@P85_DA I have 100D, March 2018 build

@popboywei I understand that's why the SC is generally used. But for a 20-something in Silicon Valley who doesn't want to put down roots but can afford a 100K car, urban chargers and SCs keep me going despite not being ideal to the car or to the other Tesla folk in a hurry.
