We should get t-shirts printed up with this on them
And send one to the mp3mike for all his contributions to this thread
I remember Tesla advertising 150 miles of range in 20-30 minutes. I don't remember Tesla advertising a percentage range, at least not in 2013 when I bought my car. Of course that was 6 years ago, I could be mistaken. Tesla wants us all to forget what they promised back then!
150 rated miles in 30 minutes is at least twice as fast as I can charge now, assuming I start at a low SOC for best speed I taper too fast to get that many miles in under an hour.
This blast from the past, courtesy of the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, from about the time I took delivery of my S. It does say half a charge in 20 min.
That page is kinda fun to read through--its a reminder of how far we have come (12 locations!) and also what a leap of faith it was at the time:

in 2015/16 the SuC speeds advertised were 0-80% in 40 minutes and 0-100% in 75 minutes.
also says 170 miles in 30 minutes.
My new batterygate/chargegate speeds were from circa 26% to 100% in 2hrs and 16mins.
Teslafi is no longer showing the 4 v8 cars in the software tracker. My car is connected but in the software tracker my current software version no longer appears. Wondering if the existing API on my car for that query stopped working through the service.
This was preceded by my LTE connection going down for several hours only to come back but on 3g instead which is what it's connected to now.
Hopefully this isn't a prelude to open vpn termination as only v8 and older use vpn.

Spoke too soon. It's been down for the last 30 minutes again. Teslafi issue different. They removed counting cars that had their last update more than 6 months ago.

On the other hand, the "informative" rating of that post made it appear on the daily top posts, sadly, the claim is exaggerated so it's not entirely informative is it? A down vote (like I also used) on that post can help inform others that there is something more to the post to be evaluated than just at face value. A down vote has a purpose, and it's not an insult, it's an indicator.
It's not a down vote, it's a "disagree" or in most uses "MP3mike read this" - disagreeing with someone's description of their normal life is... special. Nobody disagrees with normal mundane descriptions of driving habits.
Good to know some people use it to try and suppress certain things from being visible. That is very interesting take on the "mp3mike read this" button, thank you!

The bolded section was kind of my point, nothing has been determined. Anytime a customer has a faulty part on a vehicle I don't think every OEM automatically informs NHTSA, there would be a recall on every part of every vehicle. There must be some threshold which determines when that action may be taken.
No threshold for the issues related to the areas mentioned below:
"NHTSA is responsible for reducing deaths, injuries and economic losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes. This is accomplished by setting and enforcing safety performance standards for motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment, and through grants to state and local governments to enable them to conduct effective local highway safety programs.
NHTSA investigates safety defects in motor vehicles, sets and enforces fuel economy standards, helps states and local communities reduce the threat of drunk drivers, promotes the use of safety belts, child safety seats and air bags, investigates odometer fraud, establishes and enforces vehicle anti-theft regulations and provides consumer information on motor vehicle safety topics.
NHTSA also conducts research on driver behavior and traffic safety, to develop the most efficient and effective means of bringing about safety improvements."

Fine print: "Actual charge times may vary"
When they wrote it there was no chargegate chokehold strangling our charging speed. Other factors like SoC, temperature, charging stall pairing were the contributing factors, which everyone was fine with.
Just did a charge today on S85 Nov 2014 118k miles, held 51kw from 25% battery up to 55% then tapered down slowly. Was not sharing charger with anyone, battery only had 15mins to warm up en route to supercharger but was not too cold, 4deg C
Well, waved goodbye to my S as it headed off on the flatbed--I'll report back what I hear from Service (hopefully tomorrow).
Your continuous bashing of someone who has contributed good information to this thread is getting old. Just drop it and move on.
Hoping for a successful surgery and an upgraded implant.
