Control arm failure?? What control arm failure? Tell me more...

Sounds like Tesla may have known about the issue. If this is true I’m going to be pissed.
NHTSA reviews claims Tesla should have recalled 2,000 cars
Sounds like you and bunch of your closest friends are thinking the same way.The main reason I've been charging at lunch at the mall is it's free. I can grab lunch at the mall while I charge for 45 minutes. It's convenient to my new office location. I do this to reduce charging at home, which costs money. I dont have solar panels. I have noticed that the last few times I've gone to this same supercharging station, my charge rates have been VERY slow, as low as 30 miles/hr. This caused me to look online and now I'm reading about potentially throttling or reduced speeds.
Not sure about #2 on your list. Making those who have no choice and must use a Supercharger tie up the charger for a longer period isn't going to help crowding much.Slow down charging curve for large group of batteries for what reasons:
1) Safer car - less fires - less negative publicity
2) Deters excessive use of superchargers
3) Extends the life of battery and avoids warranty issues
4) Not so gently encourages owners with "old" battery technology to upgrade to a newer model thereby increasing sales. (Somebody got a promotion for that one!)
Simple: It's a well thought out business decision, similar to battery issues which plague most phones. "I'm trading in my Galaxy S7 today for an S 10 because the damn thing is slow as a "FORD Pinto on vacation" and relatively useless unless attached to a charger." It discharges at light speed. Dragy times: 95 to 0 in 1:35
So the pain will be alleviated when everyone trades up to the the 1,000,000 mile battery. In the mean time, the slow trickle charger at home seems to be the answer.
It ain't right, but it's real!

Exactly. I'm heading out this week for 1500 mile road trip and now I am not looking forward to it at all. Have to travel with my old cat and I really wanted to get there ASAP but this will slow us down considerably. Now I'm wondering if I should cancel the whole trip. If I'd known this was in my future I would never have gotten rid of my Prius.This also practically kills the roadtrip-ability of these.
But the class action doesn't include 90s. And mine's only been affected since the last couple of updates. I think. I do know it wasn't affected during the summer. It's almost like Tesla recently realized that the older 90s are affected too.This has been ongoing debate for months and there’s a class action case going on

Definitely not. You are acting as if this is the bully in school who is doing something for no other purpose at all except to be mean to you and make your life miserable. That's ridiculous. There is plenty of debate on whether the Supercharger slowing on these old cars was for to prevent:Would they let it charge faster
I haven't ever seen Tesla make any claims about the Supercharging speed of used cars. They have had some specs about approximate Supercharging speeds on new cars in fairly ideal conditions, and...that's that. If it is down later for various reasons, they don't make any claims about that one way or the other.or claim that it can do so?

lol “by a few minutes”For what it's worth, Tesla actually does say more on the subject now, albeit only in the manual, not in advertising. The current version of Model S manual in-car says (and didn't in the version from my time of purchase in 2015) that "The peak charging rate of the Battery may decrease slightly after a large number of DC Fast Charging sessions, such as those at Superchargers. […] These changes in the condition of the Battery are driven by battery physics and may increase the total Supercharging duration by a few minutes over time."
In other words, even after having revised the manual, Tesla still says chargegate's sharp reduction in charging speed is not normal.
Charge at home overnight and stop worrying about it.
On the road charge when you are ready to eat or make a pit stop.
The car will usually be ready before you are.
