My taper has been later the last few charges, ever since the update that increased peak charging rates a few months ago. The ABRP data very clearly shows a line where the throttling has been reported, but it's only a cut of the peak rate. I think there is a second factor at work, a more subtle one, that is causing an earlier taper. For certain some S cars have ended up with an early taper when the cooling louvers are not working correctly. There may be another subtle fault like that.I think the earlier taper was more of a software update that affected everyone. Because I definitely remember a time when my max rate was low but the taper started late, like 60% ish. Then later the taper started happening before I even got to 50%, but everyone was complaining about that at the time, not just the high mileage people. It was definitely a double whammy though! Would love it if they could reduce the taper with a future software update.
And I agree with the other poster. For most people the emotional weight seems to exceed the practical weight.
