Could have also been that the CPO you bought was previously a Loaner car for Tesla? I used a Loaner a couple weeks back and it was governed to 80 MPH.
This is entirely possible with CPOs, but mine wasn't a CPO

Is this normal for a new car to have out of the factory! Love the car but WTH.

What I’ve learned is that this charger will charge about 17 mph, when I get my tesla wall charger installed how many miles per hour will that do it’s 80 KW.

If I understand your question correctly — your units seem garbled — the speed of charging at 80 amps, 240 volts (19.2 kW) will depend on the on-board charger (OBC) that the car has. Those vary across the Tesla line, ranging from some Model S cars that have dual chargers and can handle the full 19.2 kW, to older cars with a single 10 kW OBC that can't take much more than the 9.6 kW provided by a 14-50 outlet. Current cars are being produced with 11.5 kW (48 A, 240V) or 17.2 kW (72 A, 240 V) OBCs.What I’ve learned is that this charger will charge about 17 mph, when I get my tesla wall charger installed how many miles per hour will that do it’s 80 KW.

A more important question is whether or not you need faster home charging? Isn't that 17 mph from a 14-30 outlet enough for most use? The car will easily charge to full (usually 90%) overnight. A few people might actually need faster home charging for running errands after a long day of commuting, for example, but those figure to be an exception. For many of us, a simple 14-50 outlet and the UMC supplied with the car is all we need. That is about 27 mph IIRC.
FWIW.
Yup, this has been my daily life for the last 4.5 years. Works just fine!I installed a 14-50 outlet with a 50amp breaker in my house (I have a 200amp main) and would get about 29 to 31m/hr of charger which is very good overall. The install was only $325 with everything. See attached picture.

I do recall that t some point in the past Tesla extended the 8 year warranty on the battery to the drive train. My question is: is the parking brake regarded as part of the drive train. Or is that limited to engine, suspension, ... ?
There has been a 'recall' on the parking brake.
If the replacement of the parking brake hasn't been done on your car yet, maybe ask?
Sadly, my experience with timeliness is very hit and miss in my first two years of ownership. I suspect your SvC is just backlogged unless they are waiting on engineering to get back to them on research/escalation of your problem -- in which case, the SvC is stuck and can only be the front men taking any owner's grief while they wait for answers/approval how to proceed. Turnaround time for scheduled appointments here in San Diego have been same-to-3 days for me this year -- since Tesla put in more streamlined on-the-spot check-in and direct owner-to-tech communication, and got their backlog better under control. I also know that my SvC is working at least 2, if not 3 shifts many days of the week.Is five business days to diagnose a "low coolant" alert a typical timespan for Service Centers? I'm new at this, but when I keep getting the same response ("we're working on diagnosing the problem, check back tomorrow") it's not very reassuring.
I had my “New” Tesla S 75D, for about 3 weeks and the wheel alignment is off to the right. Is this normal for a new car to have out of the factory! Love the car but WTH.
You know there was a "fix" for early model (2012/2013) S's where they placed a sounds dampener shroud over the compressor. Did you ever have that done?^this
I ran my 60 in range mode for 3 years, because it was embarrassingly loud when first starting up, unless I remembered to precool. At least then I just didn't have to hear it!
Nah.You know there was a "fix" for early model (2012/2013) S's where they placed a sounds dampener shroud over the compressor. Did you ever have that done?
