Recently went on a trip with long range MX and was supercharging a bunch. As I was driving to a supercharger, I was notified that the "battery is being optimized for supercharging". It was automatic and I could not do anything about it. I charged, but noticed that an 80% charge went down from 318 miles to 287 miles - a decrease of 31 miles or ~10%. This was in AZ, so hot weather (meaning cold should not be a factor) and MX is 7 months old (so battery degradation should not be a factor). I cannot find a setting in the software to change it and cannot find anything in the user manual. Thoughts?

Optimizing battery for supercharging?

Just find the address of the supercharger and put that in, instead of the supercharger off the list. I prefer it not prep the battery. I don’t need it to charge faster. So I do that all the time.
I have seen that message when navigating to V3 charges but on V2 charges doesn’t show for some reason as far as ur range estimate where u looking at Trip app? If so that’s most likely based on ur driving habits prior to getting to that charger ..or are u talking about what shows on the IC?

I’m not following your math. If it is a 7 month old model X, I presume its rated range is 351 miles. 80% of that is 281 miles, lower than either of the rated miles you quote
Uhh, I'm lost. Why would you NOT want the system to prepare your batteries for supercharging??? Tesla's engineers go to all the trouble to create the software to optimize your battery charging and then you want to defeat it? What am I missing here?
If I just want more (or maximum) range added then I crank up the 'charge to' percentage while I'm at the supercharger.

been doing it for more than a year at least. It just heats up the battery if it's too cold... Not sure what the temperature level is where it starts, but I have had it come on when scanmytesla said the battery temp was in the 80 degree area and below.
not sure i bought my model 3 september 2019, and it has done it the entire time
*sugar* sorry man, I just realized this was in the MX forum.

Then I must have never seen it for some reason. Maybe I am looking at the road too much

You should start seeing it soon. Happens when the batteries are too cold to "optimize" fast charging. I only saw it for the first time recently.
