Supercharger - Las Vegas, NV (High Roller at LINQ)

For what it's worth, when the Haymarket VA SuperCharger was first opened, i went to check it out and was only getting 45-65kw. Called support and they said it was not turned up to full boost yet but would be in a week or so. A few weeks later, i was getting 100kw when SOC was low enough and now get 140kw after the updates.
While at upgraded v3 @Factory, about max for old car.

Bob, are you trolling or just not reading?
There is a difference between reading and understanding.

Yes, but you seem to be reading and not demonstrating understanding ... even as you say you can read with understanding :D ...

Fair enough as I can read with understanding and that is not a universal skill:
V3 supercharger in Vegas

I thought I was going to get a little bit of a boost but I still was charging at 72-76 KW so it took over an hour to charge and still wasn’t all the way charged.

Near as I can tell from the OP, they got "Urban" charger performance, not even basic SuperCharger performance.

You quoted sources and say you "can read with understanding", but you post that OP got Urban (72 kW max performance) when he said he got up to 76 kW power ... 76 kW is not "Urban" charger performance. 72 kW is the maximum performance at an Urban Supercharger.

Are you reading and understanding this? 76 kW is greater than 72 kW, therefore 76 kW is NOT Urban supercharger performance.

Regardless, in 24-48 hours we should start seeing more user reports of what happens at those SuperCharger stations.

Here's a thought. Reports will vary! LOL. Results may vary by car, by day, by stall all at the same location depending on many circumstances. OP gave one report, and offered some useful tips about alternate locations and avoiding parking charges.

Thank's OP. Maybe repeat your info on the other thread as well?

Bob, you offered a suggestion that didn't make sense :) Maybe you misread or misunderstood. All good. Just chalk it up to a mistake and move on. Better to admit a mistake and move on.
 
Gotta spin the Vegas Supercharger roulette wheel! WHATS YOUR CHARGE RATE GOING TO BE?!!!
LOL. Well played.

In contrast, no technical content here:
Yes, but you seem to be . . .

I sent another update to the PlugShare team and hope they'll fix the entry soon. Regardless, this was added Monday:

At last, some slight technical content:
. . . youtube video . . .
YouTube is a pretty good source for current news documented in the video. One of the YouTubes suggest that non-Model 3 Teslas are throttled. Combined with recent news about older Teslas having reduced range, it begins to suggests the new, Model 3 battery chemistry and management allows much more aggressive charging.

I'm still looking for a Standard Range Plus Model 3 charge session recorded in "time lapse" with the vehicle clock. I can then plot the charge curve and compare it mine:

There are lots of these videos linked in @Zoomit ’s threads on the V3 supercharger profiles along with his graphs. Some posters even include the data table you can paste into your spreadsheet.

ps.
At last, some slight technical content:

I’m happy I can give you some small pleasure with trolling Bob. I found it amusing you found some random post of mine elsewhere to go “disagree” with that contains an example link on how to use Google as a calculator with units conversion. Nice to see you following my work: A Wh/Mile to Miles/kWh (or Wh/Km to Km/kWh) converter

pps. Bonus technical content: 76 kW is technically greater than 72 kW ;)

I need time as the X-axis and his chart shows "% SOC.":
SR+ at LV supercharger(v3)

The Motor Trend article has data for the Long Range done right but I really need to see the Standard Range Plus metrics of X-axis, time, vs. Y-axis kW/mi. Regardless, in 60-90 days, I'll be able to make the measurements myself.

I will repeat my 120 kW SuperCharger graph when we get the CHAdeMO version. I'll test them both in preparation for our West Coast trip.

We're both suffering from a lack of video recorded data from the OP . . . or at least one of us is. <grins>

So, you like my "knock knock" joke?

Actually I was curious if you'd ever posted anything with useful technical content. Survey complete, I thought it would be fun to pull a "knock knock" joke. <GRINS>

*NEW* V3 SUPERCHARGER LAS VEGAS
 
Plugshare has the Linq SuperCharger station:

Minor error, they did not include the distribution chargers. We really need someone to accurately count them and send a message to the developers. It would also help if a charging session reported their use if visiting a casino.

I reported the inaccuracy via the app.

Meant to type "destination" but it came out "distribution." Regardless, whatever Plugshare calls them is what works for me.

Bob Wilson

Do other locations on PlugShare combine Supercharging with Destination charging (within one 'pin' location)? They have different coloured pins on the map to indicate different levels of charging I think ... maybe they need to add a 2nd pin for the destination chargers.
