Related to this thread, I recently had my SOC go down to about 3% when I reached a supercharging station. When I plugged in, it wouldn't charge. I tried moving to a couple other stations but none of them would work. While plugged in, I noticed that there were a few pulses of some current ~10A but mostly nothing. My percentage went down to about 2%. I called Tesla service and they looked me up and said that there was nothing wrong and that when the SOC gets really low, it takes some time to get the charge up before supercharging can start. So relieved, I left it to charge. Sure enough, about 15 minutes of seeming to do nothing, it started to charge slowly and then eventually started to supercharge. I was searching online and in the manual about this "feature" but couldn't find anything. Has anybody else experienced this? At what point is it best to be in a low SOC when supercharging before hitting this special circumstance?
That's really odd. I have arrived at Superchargers with just a few miles left or even less and there was never a delay. That must be a bug they can hopefully fix.
I believe the last time I used a SC for my 100D under 10% it went directly to full charge, but it'd be nice to see if someone gets actual data on thisMike, you are right, the 90 battery has a different charge curve. Definitely not good to arrive close to zero when you want to save time. I'm not sure how the 100 behaves. I know the newer batteries all maintain a higher charge rate longer. They don't taper off as much, so the time saved on charging isn't as much dependent on state of charge.
In my 100D I came to SC with about 7% charge and 35F outside temperature. Plugged in and it only went to about 20 kw. Thinking perhaps it was the charger, I moved over 1 slot - same thing (no other cars). Sat there thinking about what to do and it started to climb after maybe 5 minutes, slowly getting to 120 kw, but I didn't time it so this is seat-of- the-pants timing. But it clearly took a bit of time to start and get up to full speed, unlike higher starting SOC. This is a '17.I believe the last time I used a SC for my 100D under 10% it went directly to full charge, but it'd be nice to see if someone gets actual data on this

75 on cruise it optima.
That was my understanding too, but that same thread has some drive-data that suggests that even faster is still charge-time-effective. Not sure there was enough data to have confidence, and clearly the charging characteristics of each battery impact the formula.
(as discussed pretty thoroughly upthread and elsewhere
Mine is a 2017 as well. Thanks for the info. I do not live close to a SC so I still haven't tried myself. Will report when i do.In my 100D I came to SC with about 7% charge and 35F outside temperature. Plugged in and it only went to about 20 kw.

(just out of the red and into the yellow on the trip planner tab).
As @Chaserr said, on the big screen, hit the energy button on the top, then on the graph click on the trip tab (you need to be navigated somewhere). It'll give you percentage of charge the car thinks you'll arrive at your next destination.Would someone please help me understand what this means?
Not exactly. It's not about your whm, it's about the percent for the next destination.The energy graph app (on the big screen, not the IC version) tells you whm for your current trip. Keeping it "out of the red" means your efficiency is not so lead-footed and your range is up.
