Refresh Model S, Supercharging 420mi/hr?!

[Krebnarb]

Hey guys,

I remember reading a thread on this forum regarding supercharging speeds, and most were reporting between 250 - 350 mi /hr (Beware: Supercharger speeds vary greatly | Tesla Motors).

To my surprise, this weekend at the Greenwich Supercharge in RI, I was the only Tesla there and saw 420mi/hr! I was around 35% SOC (S90D) when I started charging.

Later I was at the same charging station with a couple of more Teslas in the other stalls and saw a more "reasonable" 280mi/hr. But it's crazy to know that they have the potential to charge that fast!

Are you set to show "Ideal" miles instead of "Rated" miles range?

 

[wcfinvader]

It sure looks like ideal miles

oh yeah, good call guys. 310 ideal = ~265 rated for me at 90% SOC, so 420 -> ~360mi/hr. That sounds more like it. thanks!

Just wondering, why do you have it set to show ideal miles? I keep mine on rated and even then it's a bit optimistic. The ideal number would have no particular connection to reality for me.

You're charging between 109-112kwh based on the voltage and amperage in your screenshot, which is quite normal based on your SoC.

Much like my feeling about my MS: I have to pinch myself otherwise there is no particular connection to reality! It's like a dream.

Well, depending on how I drive I find that I can sometimes get pretty close to ideal miles by driving it like my old Prius haha. Sometimes it's just a challenge to see if I can do it For my actual rated miles, I just keep an eye on the trip meter to show estimated rated miles based on last 30 miles of driving if I care.
