Thus illustrating why the mph value is worthless when discussing fast charging rates with others. The cars have different driving efficiencies. Since the Model 3 is more efficient in power usage, it will show higher mph values even when actually getting lower power. Stick to the kW value when discussing fast charging, it's the only straight apples to apples comparison.
Good point. However, we still need to know what the car's state of charge was to make intelligent comparisons even when quoting kW rates.
so for me, it looks like the best my 2015 70 MS is gonna get is 116kw @ 406mph as I went ahead last nite an rolled up to the SC with 1% soc with 2 miles remaining to see what kw I'd get at most charging needed... I'm fine w it, its def less efficient of a battery than a new 3 as others have stated already but it's good nuff 4 me...
Here's a blog post from ABetterRoutePlanner.com showing aggregated charging curves of users that share their charging data. It's broken down by various batteries, and the curves for your model's battery bear out your experience: Faster Tesla Supercharging - How does it actually perform?
I had 142 kW at Port Orange with a distinctly steeper taper since I was still above 50 kW when I reached 85% SOC.
