MS Plaid: Max Mobile Charging using a NEMA 14-50?

[jebinc]

I see on the Tesla site that the max an old S can get out of a NEMA 14-50 or 6-50 is 23mph. Using this same setup, what's the MAX for the Plaid, both in amps and MPH? I searched high and low and couldn't find definitive information on this. I have a Plaid on order and would like to know, for sure, what the correct answer is. Sorry if this has already been discussed before, and thanks for pointing me to a fact-base for this.

The mobile connector that comes with the car is good for 32 amps max. That’s ~7.7kw on a 240v circuit.

If you want the max power available on a 14-50 50 amp circuit, you could buy the Corded Mobile Connector which is good for 40 amps, ~9.6kw on 240v service.

Corded Mobile Connector

The Corded Mobile Connector features a NEMA 14-50 plug and improved charging speeds in comparison to the Mobile Connector with NEMA 5-15 Adapter. Includes: 1x NEMA 14-50 Corded Mobile Connector - 20’ cable 1x storage bag Corded Mobile Connector Manual Note: The Corded Mobile Connector is...

Try not to think in miles per hour. It’s a goofy way to measure things. That said, the Plaid will not be substantially different than any other modern Model S in terms of estimated range miles per hour.

Okay, how about in "amps"... Will it consume 48, 30, or less on the Mobile charger plugged into the 50A receptacle? Edit: Using the charger that comes with the car. Is that the 14-50 you linked above?

If you insist on using miles per hour, take the 400 mile range and divide it by the ~100kwh battery, which yields 250wh/mi.

7.7kwh / 250wh = ~31 miles per hour. Estimate 95% efficiency and you’re putting 30 rated miles/hour into the battery.

9.6kwh = ~37 miles per hour.

I don't (insist on MPH)... I actually hate that measurement, but used it here as that's how Tesla describes the Mobile Charger on it's web page for it.

Wow, missed that in your OP... Thanks for bringing it back.
