There are many reasons why you would need a 100% charge. I was not charing to 100% at every single supercharger stop. Only when the drive warranted it or performing a test for Tesla. For example, if my next stop was 100 miles from the nearest Supercharger stop and there was no charging...

I have tried that at home. Did not matter if it was set to 30 or 80 amps, Charging would complete at 96-99% in cold weather.

I don't use 100% at every supercharger, 80% is good to get between SC. Problem is on the last leg of my trip into Texas or New Mexico I need a 100% charge to make it back out. There are no SC at my destinations (even though they have been planned for over a year) and most of the older houses...

Dude Seriously? Model 3 Orders opened up Apr 2016. I placed my Model 3 order on day 1. and got it Jan 2018 My Model S didn't start having Charging problems till Dec 2016. 5 months after we placed our Model 3 Order. Up until Feb 2018, Tesla was still working the issue. Based on discussion with...

I agree. But at this point, unless a ton of people complain, mine will continue to work as it is. Not sure what I can do next.

Ok so here is an update. I waited a couple of weeks to write this because, well i'm pissed & disappointed. According to Tesla: - Supercharging stops taking 2 hrs or more = Normal. Nothing Wrong - Charge not completed (stopping at 96-99% when set to 100%) = Normal. Nothing Wrong They kept...

I have not, Like I said i have not really focused on the KW rate during charging till recently. I trusted that Tesla would be looking at that during the logs review. As it turns out, they were only focused on the brick levels. I do recall thinking on the last test that 116kw seemed a little...

At home just like at the superchargers, it stops anywhere between 96-99%. I only see about 15 min extra charging which at home that is nothing when charging takes 4.5 hrs. ( have dual chargers charging at 80amps)

So I finally got a decent response from the Service Manager. They are going to pickup the car this week and check out the cooling system and any other possible system in the car that could be causing the slow charging & the battery not topping off. BUT, he did share with me that Tesla puts...

Thanks for the info here. Very good stuff.

Most of that stuff around the KW tends to go over my head. My complaint was that the car charged a certain time the first year of ownership and it has slowed down substantially the 2nd year and 3rd year, even with a new battery. I created a graph to track all the charging attempts that...

God I hope you are not right about the warranty on charging rates. To me the charging times advertised is what makes the car a viable replacement to gas cars. For the first year I experienced the advertised charging times. But yeah, you are correct about range. I try not to focus on the range...

I mean getting to an 80% state of charge. Usually it did not matter to the current state of charge, The car would adjust and start with a high kw rate and slowly taper down the closer I got to 80%. I would regularly get 30 min supercharger stops to 80% no problem in warm weather. Again, as...

I'm not aware of a manual process to balance the battery. Can you direct me to where I can find it or how to do it? I've read that the car does automatically balance the battery as needed. The behavior i'm seeing is as if the car is perpetually stuck trying to balance the battery. It would...

I agree, the problem is I consistently have to wait 2 hrs or more for a full charge & I cant get a full charge. I've tried with a warm battery during a longer drive, cold battery and i always get the same results within 5 min. Before this started happening, charging was consistent. The car...
