Did you find any numbers on this. I never did.
I don't know why tesla can't be transparent.
Should have a chart.
At 0F. It takes x amount of driving to heat battery to optimal charging temp. Or Y amount of minutes charging.
At 32F....
Etc.
Any ballpark would help.
A chart would be very helpful. Unfortunately, I don't have a CAN BUS scanner and have no way of compiling that information.
I can say that it takes about 30 minutes of preconditioning via app or navigating to supercharger for the battery to go from ~freezing to warm enough to get reasonable charging speeds of around 100 kW. Very rough numbers that are dependent on state of charge, temperature, travel speed (and wind), etc.

Got there with a warm battery about 30%. Peaked at 169kw which seems about right. One issue I had was the charger wouldn’t latch initially. I had to keep reinserting it and eventually it worked. Same thing happened the only other time I used a v3 charger (Ocean City MD). I wonder if there’s something different about the connector.
Best thing about v3 is if you have a warm battery and there’s a spot open you’ll get a nice fast charge. Don’t have to worry about sharing a charge with the car next to you.

I've only used Fairfield, CT North and South sides...and had the same latching issue.
Ya, I say about 20 minutes. It's odd how natural and intuitive it becomes after a short time but the moment you start trying to explain the variables, you're like "jeez, I'm confusing the !@#$ out of them." So, I just generalize and get more specific if they ask follow-up questions.
I tell people on road trips. I need about 20-30mins.
The best would seem if there are plenty of easily accessible chargers. The smartest would be to charge 20min and move on as ur speed decreases. Problem is then ur left calculating and deciding about how far off hwy next chargers are. Etc.

It depends on outside temperature and travel speed. 137 kW is pretty good. The full 250 is kind of hard to get unless the weather is warm, even with battery conditioning.
I generally do 150-175 miles and then stop for a piss and a charge. avg 15 minutes or so. enough time to plug in, wander around to find a bathroom, wander back and then just keep on going.

Preheating, schmeheating.... All these newfangled technologies like having the nav know where supercharges are. In my day..... (lol but not kidding)
I'll tell you who does. My 2 year old. He's obsessed so he's more than amenable to any SC visit at a Wawa.

Deepest apologies if this question has already been asked/answered, but why don't the total number of stalls and the available number of stalls show up in the in-car navigation/app (e.g. 9 / 10 stalls available)?
I found the same phenomenon for the newly opened V3 site in Ocean City, MD...Is this an artifact of V3, or just a part of the extended commissioning process?

Probably because that information isn't available for some reason. Perhaps a reporting issue between the station and the mothership.
