Does the SR charging rate taper off the same as a SR+?

[Celledral]

To clarify, since the battery for the standard range is SW limited to 220mi, would charging to 100% net the same charging speed as a SR+ charging to 100%? The battery capacity is only 90% available so would the charging speed go with the hardware or software? Thanks for anyone who has insights

Since the battery packs are the same hardware wise the only reason it wouldn't would be if they have something software wise that changes the charging dynamics.

There is another thread about charging SR+ including the charging curve Model 3 Standard PLUS - supercharging speed/curve This is based on Super Charging not home.

Let's say that they don't. The difference will only be a few minutes. So it doesn't matter.

Why would Tesla deliberately plug up superchargers longer?

The SR battery is software limited at top of the battery charge level. So 92% on the SR+ battery will show as 100% on the SR battery. This top-end limiting increases battery life and also increases recharge speed as it cuts out the slowest part of the charge cycle.

For example, an SR+ battery on any Supercharger will take about 25 min to go from 92% to 100%. On an Urban Supercharger, the SR will charge from 0-100% in ~53 min, whereas the SR+ will take ~78 min. This is a significant difference in charge times for a full battery charge. But an SR battery will charge exactly the same as an SR+ battery below 92%.

This top-end limiting on the SR also lets the owner routinely charge it and keep it at higher battery levels without worry about long term damage.

Thanks for the info guys!
