I just completed a 550 mile, 3 day road trip from Santa Barbara Area to the Bay Area in our new Mid-Range. This was my first time using solely the Superchargers and noticed all chargers were limited to 40 min. Some cut off the charge at 40 min and some didn’t and I was able to charge more but didn’t do more than 45 min. At all places I was getting the max rate, about 110 kw which tapered to about 20-30 kw at 80-85% state of charge. At that rate and with the 40 min limit, it seems like having a larger battery is pointless and less efficient cars like the Dual Motor/Performance Model 3 or Model S and X will get the least amount of range from the supercharge. Any other Mid-Range owners observe this? At this time I am pretty happy that I didn’t spend the extra money on the bigger battery and for road tripping purposes, Mid-Range is the way to go.
