@Rocky_H gave a good answer to your concern, but maybe this analogy would be helpful given your user name— oil spills in the ocean are bad, but does a 2 gallon spill cause more damage than a 1 gallon spill, given the size of the ocean?What is your basis for this? I’m not an electrical engineer, but volts are equivalent to pressure and amps are equivalent to flow. I’ll have more parasitic losses but what does that cost me, $.20/day? Who cares? If charging too fast is necessarily a bad thing, just like filling a bucket with a fire hose is a bad idea, why wouldn’t filling the bucket with a slow drip be better and just let some of it spill over? Seems analogous but I honestly don’t know.
Model 3 owners really should stop thinking about (some would say obsessing over) the battery. Charge away, let the battery management system manage the battery, and just enjoy your car.
