Supercharger charging speed throttling when busy

Pfft. Not even close. Just the 3rd highest odometer SR+ on TeslaFi. Though yes, probably the highest odometer SR+ in Australia ;-)

I always chuckle a little when I hear about range anxiety, while I pile on >1300km/wk. And most weeks that's mostly confined to a span of 40 hours Friday nights to Sunday lunchtimes. And my home charging set-up still draws 10 amps on a 3rd party imitation UMC, running out my ajar bedroom window, in sub-zero nights. I'll supercharge to 40-50% if I think I have to, and trickle charge the rest of the way. Maybe 60% if I still have an hour or two left in me.

It's the modern equivalent of walking 12 miles to school, barefoot in the snow, uphill each way.

You’re just zipping past my 8.5 year old Model S with 219,954kms.
