Oh, well at least Tesla did something about it. Because it’s really ridiculous how easily it can heat up to a point of reducing AC function.100 packs have a second cooling loop. So those batteries are much better off.

Mine is a 2016 MS 90D. I had the Autopilot set at 77 mph, a good cruising speed.I had mine set at 72 and it still had to cut out during the mountain climb. Not sure how hot it got inside but we were definitely sweating for a while. Although to be fair I was doing 90+ mph
I wonder if there was any improvement made from the 2015 to your 2018 model.
Oops. Then I have no idea why mine was acting up like thatMine is a 2016 MS 90D. I had the Autopilot set at 77 mph, a good cruising speed.

The max charge rate got throttled back, bu the taper became more gradual. The gray triangles in the chart below show that S90D charges at ~5miles/minute (300+ mph) from about 20m to 160 rated miles.That’s good speed I thought the 90s got throttled back
Yes, you need to be vigilant in hot weather about charge rate crashing after 10 minutes or so at some chargers. Switching chargers would fix the problem on my recent drive from SoCal to Florida. Max temp was 111F in Baker on May 29. Kansas on June 4 was in upper 90's all day though and I needed to switch chargers on both Kansas stops that day.A couple chargers weren't working well and only charged at 60-125 mph but had to change until I found one working correctly and would charge at 300 mph.
did you notice any hotel-motel chains that always-often offered free supercharging to guests...?
Great to hear, also just did a 3000 mile road trip in a Model 3. Everything went great, Autopilot drove most of the way which made it seem like an easy drive. Charging is so easy now - no waiting at all, just charge while you eat or sleep.
Mine has the sunroof and rear roof glass. But it helps to have the roof glass sunshades while driving in that heat. Also have a windshield shade that worked great while parked and charging.
reportedly model S can fit 2 bikes without disassembly. that only leaves room for 2
Try the app for “EV Hotels”. It lists all sorts of charging options near an area you choose, either at or just near a hotel. And the hotels listed are available with a few clicks.did you notice any hotel-motel chains that always-often offered free supercharging to guests...?
