2020 S LR+ charging rate

[CWhite]

Hello all. Looking for what other 2020 LR owners see as max charge rate whilst supercharger. Starting at SOC of 20% or less I never see more than 150kw on a V3 charger.

3 1/2 years old, 16k miles. Initially indicated 400 mile range, after switching to winter tires for the first winter the indicated range dropped to 387 and never went back up after changing back to the Tempest wheel/covers. Has stayed at 387 (estimate since I almost never charge to 100%) for the next 3 years. I do supercharge pretty often, the conspiracy theorist in me wonders if Tesla is punishing me for using the free charging I have so often by slowing down the charger.

It wasn't until late spring of 2020 that Tesla added the larger wires and other things in the car to enable charging above 150KW. I believe it was fitted on all 2020 S Long Range Plus (402 Claimed range in miles). Mine was one of the first of these delivered in June 2020, and it charges at the higher Supercharger rate.

Thicker Wires In Model S/X Allow Charging At Up To 250 kW

Tesla updated its online design studio for the Model S and Model X, showing precisely that the newly ordered cars can Supercharge at up to 250 kW.

I have a 2020, Long Range Plus.....bought on 30 Jan 20 new......started out at 325, then went to 385 then to 402....have never seen anything over 135kW at V3......saw 548 miles per hour a couple of time but it only lasted a minute or so then dropped down to 110kW, and when I got to 20% SoC, it started going to 100 or less....at 50% SoC, it is usually is at 95kW......I thin my early 2020 model s is really a 2019 becasue of the features I dont have that other 2020 models have.....especially since I only had 325 miles range when first new....the software updates increased range 2 times within 6 months after purchase
