...Can you limit the charge rate at a supercharger...
Can you limit the charge rate at a supercharger to reduce long term battery degradation?
Yep, fair pointI think the rationale is to get your car off the station as quick as possible so others can use it.
Thanks. That’s a relief. I thought it might have been worseDon’t worry about long term battery degradation with a Tesla. After over 60K miles with the first S, there was less than 4% impact in my case (3.6% iirc, with 98% SC usage), and that was with little to no intentional rebalancing.
I for one hopes Tesla does the same thing, as I'd rather have a car with reduced range than a car that suddenly stops on the highway.the recent battery games notwithstanding
I'm down about 10% at 43k miles, with the majority of my miles on Supercharging road trips. So, I don't buy the argument that Teslas are immune to battery degradation.Don’t worry about long term battery degradation with a Tesla.

Mine is an S60 and Tesla service says my battery pack checks out fine remotely. They suggested that the problem was my charging regimen (not charging to 90% all the time leads the BMS to give false readings) but when I changed it I saw only a slight improvement, so I don't buy that explanation. I don't like to charge to 90% all the time because it means reduced regen when descending steep — up to 14% grade — mountain hairpin turns, something I do every time I leave home.Might want to have that looked at - especially if one of the early 90 packs. There are numerous 100Kers who don’t have 10% degradation.
Anecdotally, I met one fellow a couple years ago at a northern WA SC who SCd daily during the week due to his sales territory requirements - and that was on top of leaving each morning w a full charge. His house was completely powered by solar as an aside. Anyway, he was at 91K miles and didn’t have 10% degradation.
So... no harm in having it looked at. Sounds like you’re due a new pack, and the later 90 packs are much better. Kinda like the old DUs. Once you got to a Q series one, all was good.
Can you tell us about the reliability on your 2013 S now that it has 110K miles?I have 110 k miles, don't worry about it. It is all computer controlled. But learn about which stall to use at a charging station. They are all different. And charge at different rates. I have a log to prove it in 20 states.

Plugged in every night = goodWill it harm to the battery to leave the car plugged in every night, receiving full charge?
Who made such an argument?I'm down about 10% at 43k miles, with the majority of my miles on Supercharging road trips. So, I don't buy the argument that Teslas are immune to battery degradation.
