Since the day I bought the X, it has never charged accurately or quickly. When the computer/app says it will be charged in 40 minutes, it will take 70-90 minutes. I understand (from Tesla) that the low end of the battery range and the upper end is slowed. I understand that another Tesla on the supercharger next to me will slow down the charge. I'm talking about a 60 degree day charge from 50 miles to 200 when no other chargers are taken. It will say it's going to take 40 minutes. 40 minutes later it says another 15 minutes. It took an hour. This is typical. A full charge for me takes 90 minutes at a supercharger.
I took the car on a 120 mile trip and had 180 miles of charge. Within 10 minutes of starting the trip the X told me to keep the speed under 70 or I wouldn't make it. (The speed limit is 75 here.) So I went slower than all other traffic and "luckily" I also hit a construction zone that slowed me even more. My 60 miles of buffer ended up being 20 miles. My wife and I have had the X on the interstate before with long trips where we were driving 50 MPH on the interstate (illegal) just to limp into a charging station with 4 miles to spare. Again, this is after we started that leg of the journey with a 60 mile buffer which immediately and inexplicably disappeared.
Tesla support tells me to schedule a service appoint. The Tesla Service Shop cancels my service appoint telling me the care is working as designed. Again, I don't understand how a 50% overrun on a charge estimate and a 30% reduction in range is "working as designed." It's unclear whether Tesla is incompetent in this case, or liars. But I'm sick of it.
