I'll be driving a Model S on an 800-900-mile trip in the next few weeks and I will want to keep my travel time as short as possible. Obviously, I'm going to have to spend a significant amount of time at Superchargers. So here's the question: do I stop at every Supercharger along the way and top up the battery to get me to the next with charge to spare, or do I push through to the next Supercharger (within reason, pending remaining charge) and recharge less frequently?
I'm leaning towards the latter option to reduce overall time at the Superchargers, since the battery can charge faster when it's closer to empty, versus a slower recharge when it's more full.
Your thoughts? Am I making any sense?
