I said it before in this thread, a 90 battery pack that is peak limited is still charging significantly faster than my old 85. If anyone is unhappy with their 90 pack and wants to swap with me, hit me up!

It may well be that the last few miles charge at a glacial pace; regardless, my overall experience with superchargers has been spotty at best.
In North Carolina last week I had to keep moving from slot to slot and getting ridiculous rates on ALL of the chargers
(the place was empty BTW). Not sure what their rationale is for limiting kW, they don’t seem to have a consistent or coherent system, it’s more of a crapshoot IMO. I’ve seen others hopping around in other places
and then simply leave.
I hope I never have issues with permanent charge limits on my MODEL X. I’d hate to have to sue Tesla for false advertising and a bunch of other things they may inflict against unsuspecting customers in their inept business model.

He just disagreed with my post about his need for a /sarc flag and your post. But not the post about being serious, so I guess he needs a clue.
@andyroyale, stop supercharging when your battery's above 80% charge. You won't get the speed that you're expecting, and if there's a line of tesla's waiting, you're wasting everyone else's time. The concept is called "charge tapering".
That works unless there is 200+ miles to the next SC and you're expecting a headwind and rain. There are many places like that outside of California.
You need to learn how charging, super and otherwise, works. The rate falls quite dramatically as the battery fills up. When you are close to full, the charge slows to a trickle. Basic physics.
First of all I haven’t seen a change in speed after 80%. It happens at different percentages. And where, pray tell, was there any mention whatsoever in my comment of “lines” in charging stations??? Pretty asinine comment for someone who seems to have such superior view of their own “intelligence.” I haven’t seen any lines because stupid Tesla can’t churn out more than a couple cars a day...
In case your haven’t understood yet, my last comment referred to inconsistent charge speeds that ANY Tesla owner who isn’t falling head over heels over kooky Musk no doubt has already noticed.

I feel as though Tesla might not be the car brand for you. The vehicle and company has not met your standards. Perhaps you should cut your losses and buy something more reliable with a company that will "have your back"?
If you want to demonstrate inconsistent charge speeds to us, you will probably have to use evidence from when you are much earlier in a session rather than one from deep within the end charge taper. Otherwise you just look clueless or like a troll.

Don't think I'd buy a product from a company if I thought the CEO was "kooky"
I had ten SC stops over the last week. The only one that was longer than 15 minutes was the one where I needed to be sure I got over 200 miles despite the rain. I don't see where there is an issue--at least not with the B battery. The way the algorithm works in my car is that it starts tapering right away, but it starts at over 110 kW at 20-30% remaining when I start to charge. Now when I leave, the trip planner will show that 13-15% will be remaining at the next stop, but that typically goes up to 20-30% as I drive. The trip planner appears to be fairly conservative in its estimates.
Well, you're losing the benefit of new knowledge as well. Although, from a couple of your earlier posts it sounds like you just want to complain, and damn the facts.The only loss I’m cutting is of the time reading your comments!

Interesting, I have the opposite experience. I typically have to wait until trip planner says I will have at least 20% left at my destination, but I rarely make it there with over 10% - must be the way I drive...

Or you have a battery with ~186 RM total capacity and want to do a 150 mile trip leg at freeway speeds, some of it in rain. Just finished such a trip leg after Supercharging to 96% -- no problems making it at 76 mph, a bit under the 80 mph speed limit. (I think the new Nav system is more accurate in projecting energy use than the old one.)
The very characteristic of a charge taper.
The lines in a charging station are for a future when more tesla's are plying the roads in your neck of the woods.
As for the ad hominem's (your post history is quite colorful), I don't care to read it so off to the squelch box.

Chemistry is physicsAgree 99% .. but it is chemistry not physics
