Great questions - thank you. I was charging at about 4pm but I was at 70% (I was just testing that it deducted from my free allocation - which it did ). So that might be part of it.
As for setting as destination this must be relatively new. I had a model S 2 years ago and that wasn't a feature. Assume you literally just select the supercharger location as a destination on the sat nav?
Tesla may be throttling the SuperCharger during peak times, Demand Side Response is used to reduce loads to take peak strain off the grid. This would also reduce expensive peak charge times. Were you charging 07:00-09:00 or 17:00-19:00? However I am not sure this is actively done, not seen any hard evidence.
don't see why they would have fast chargers then only use them for a slower charge to save money when customers are paying a premium price for the charging and makes no sense increasing the rate with V3, if they were very concerned they could install power packs as that is their purpose. I assume what you suggested was just a guess...
Thoughts anyone!?
So have a model 3 (not that I think that's relevant) and was the only car at Heathrow Terminal 5 (Hilton) superchargers yesterday. The speed was 68kwh. That seems very poor.
Thoughts anyone!?
Yes, it was the nav destination, and the journey there took about 90 minutes, but there was no visible indication of battery conditioning before we arrived. Do you get an indication of conditioning? Or maybe due to the outside temperature etc it wasn’t needed?What you got sounds about right on the overall spectrum (allowing for your battery state as you arrived; was it your nav destination etc.)
To what extent is preconditioning needed/useful if you've been driving for say half an hour or more? Is the battery then already in the right state or is preconditioning different?
