If you fast charge, Tesla will permanently throttle charging

    there is a consensus and i forgot what it is. Tesla sent an email to a either an s90 or s75 owner exactly outlining where the throtteling starts and when it stopped/is at its maximum. I cant remember what the exact values were. It was roughly starting at 30k km supercharging and reaching its maximum at 55k km.... i think.

    With 3400kwh DC charging on an s85 you havnt quite supercharged enough to hit the treshold i think! I think it may have ben 4000kwh?

    That's false. Pick the option that claims that your car is in service right now and you'll get transferred to a human at best, voice mail with a call back at worse.

    I've tried Comcast (Charter and Spectrum). Try to get someone to help with Internet Essentials at an address that previously had service. Ultimately had to file a CPUC complaint to get a call back.

    Have you gone that far?

    Can confirm. 17’ S75D. Seeing peak charge rates above 100kW since 48.37.1. These are the highest numbers ever for my vehicle as the previous peak was 96-98kW. My vehicle was throttled with the charge rate permanerf prior to the further charging speed enhancement for 350V packs that increased peak rates to 118-120kW approximately 20 months ago.

    It has been about two years since I have seen anything above 82kW. This has resolved my single largest frustration with Tesla and this vehicle. I was specifically told once the accumulated DC fast charging counter is triggered the permanerf, could not be removed or altered in order to improve and protect my ownership experience.

    I supercharge far less these days since home charging has been established.
