Tesla need to update their charging curve, its should not take 40 min on a V3 to Charge to 90%
That's right! It's way better to unplug at <=70% if you're going for maximum speed. I never get to do this, however, since I usually travel with my wife and 2 kids.

About half that 40 minute time would be spent charging from 75%-90%. Just unplug at 75% & get to the next Supercharger.I 100% agree with your, this is nuts
So it looks like an entire cabinet is out. I saw a guy try to charge at all 4 stalls on the east side and apparently couldn't get any of them to work. One of them was unlit, so maybe that one is completely not communicating with HQ which would explain why it says that only 3 stalls are out of order.
Bro, that’s a long drive from Seattle! Did you relo to Chucktown or make a cross country drive?
Cross country drive. I'm just checking off another supercharger (see signature)
Oh, I didn't catch that you are maximizing # of supercharger stops. That should be really interesting in CA and FL. Heading all the way to Marathon?Cross country drive. I'm just checking off another supercharger (see signature)
He visited Marathon in January 2017. Check out his map and click on the “go to visited” button: Tableau Public
I guess I need to revisit some of those old dates in the data fields. That one was definitely September 2017 as it was less than a week after Hurricane Irma. A quite memorable experience. They had just opened up the highway to non-residents but it was a total war zone and I didn't really feel right being there, so after charging at Marathon, I turned around without ever going to Key West (which was a big goal of mine since childhood for some reason... I guess due to growing up in the other corner of the country).
Oh wow, I did not see your sig before, that’s awesome! So quick question,,,those 150k miles on your S100D, are those all on the original battery and motors? Just curious as I love to find examples of high mileage Teslas on the original drivetrain. Either way, thanks for sharing and drive safely!Cross country drive.

Original battery and drive train. This car definitely has some issues though. I don't currently feel comfortable driving under 10% SOC (and really uncomfortable under 5%) as I've had it shut down on me 3 times with 7, 8, and 11 rated miles remaining, ending up on a flat-bed tow truck each time. The first time I thought it was a fluke. The 2nd time they replaced the 12V battery and told me that should solve the problem. But when it happened the 3rd time, I knew that didn't turn out to be the case! That was earlier on this trip and it's held up fine since then, but like I was saying, I keep having to overcharge to be sure I don't run below 10% just to be safe. I'm going to get it looked at when I get home, but based on my experiences with Tesla service, I'm not optimistic.
Ha! ran across this thread looking at the Valdosta supercharger. I agree it's too dangerous to get down to 10% once the cars have gotten over 50k miles on them!...and that's on S,3, and X. I used to be able to trust the Guessometer and run the car down to 1% if needed, but no more. I now try to get to each supercharger with ~20% SOC (which coincidentally is where the car likes to be for the fastest supercharging).
Yes, we are definitely off-topic here. But I'm curious why you say this. Like what experiences have you had? I was under the impression that my issues were fairly isolated. I know a lot of high mileage owners and none of them report being stranded on the side of the highway with rated miles remaining on the battery gauge. The uncertainty is a killer. I just want to know what I can count on.
