I had a really great SCing experience at the Southamptn SC on Saturday afternoon. one of the best in recent memory.
I arrived with 4 rated miles and left with 173 rated miles 36 minutes later. (according to TeslaFi I started with 4% state of charge and added 168.7 rated mils, ending with 68% charge. I was plugged either in stall 3B or 4A and was the only car charging at the entire SCer for the 1st 25 or so minutes.
most impressive was that the SCer ramped up to 110 kWh very very very quickly and over the 1st several seconds inched its way all the way to 118 kWh!! I had heard that you can only hit 120 kWh when you turn on the heater at a SCer, and thought about testing this, but it has been a LONG LONG time since I remember ever hitting 118 kWh that I said.. let me just enjoy this and let sleeping dogs do their thing.
The car stayed above 110 kWh for much much longer than I had anticipated. and I was very, very pleased.
I added 66 rated miles over the 1st 10 minutes, 50 miles in the subsequent 10 minutes, 40 miles in the 10 minutes after that, and the balance in the last 6-7 minutes I was plugged in.
I was having a little too much fun on the LIE heading east so I had to stop by the destination charger at Best Market in Westhampton Beach for an hour where I gained roughly 20 rated miles (and had a great lunch at Margarita Grill) b4 driving out to the Southampton, SC.
I don't know if this is why the SCer ramped up to 115 kW so quickly even tho I arrived with a pretty low SOC, but i'm glad it did.
All in all, it was one of the best SCer experiences I've had in recent memory.
Thank you Tesla!!
