AC unit and Supercharging

[Enz295]

My AC unit died. For a 4 months old Model X, this is annoying!! But anyway. The question I have is:
Is supercharging going to damage the battery, since I read that the AC unit is actually cooling the battery pack while supercharging?

The car won’t allow you to charge fast enough to damage the vehicle. If you are in hot conditions your charge rate may be reduced.

well noted. Thank you!

The battery cooler is independent of the cabin AC.

The battery cooler is independent of the cabin AC.

Nope, they share the same A/C system.

Nope, they share the same A/C system.

You're both right. The battery cooler is independent of the cabin climate settings, but they share the compressor and condenser.

 

[Enz295]

So if my compressor or condenser is not working, the battery is likely not cooled during supercharging. Therefore I am hoping the charge rate will be reduced as Llyod said...
