I just noticed on Tesla's site that the Model 3 Mid Range has a 32 amp onboard charger (same as the yet-to-be-released Standard Range) vs the Long Range that has a 48 amp charger.
Based on figures posted at tesla website and looking at L2 output (say chargepoint) of 7.2kw @ 30A, i'm calculating 30mph. Is this a correct estimate

The charge point can deliver at 7.2kw @ 30A and tesla site says at this output, i should get 30mph. Which means if i plug the car for 2 hours, i should get 60 miles of range.
Yeah, there is a good chance your work charger is 30a (it is a common value) but it could also be 24a or some other amount.
It is likely though on 208v instead of 240v so 6.24kW instead of 7.2 (and there could be voltage drop below 208v even depending on distance from building).
It sounds doable, but I would be more comfortable with the LR.
Also not that I would prefer not to have to charge to 100% for my daily commute. I reserve that for trips.
