Anyone notice how the navigation seems to be making you use less superchargers lately? Like my normal long trips i use like 3 or 4 chargers along my way and i know where they are so i don't usually use the nav.
I have taken a couple of trips down to the LA basin recently and i needed the nav SC routing since i didn't know where TF i was going, and instead of the old normal way of stopping at a SC for like 15 min and rolling out it wants me to stay at 1 SC for 55 min (which due to chargegate means closer to 1.5 hours)
So now i have to put my overall trip in and see the route then pich a few chargers along the way and nav to them one at a time, its really a pain in the ass that they changed this method of charging especially for my P85D. I mean i get 120kW when i charge but the drop off curve looks like the stock market in the great depression just steep as hell like 128kW at 4% and then by 10% im down to 95kW and by 30% im down to like 69kW. o with this steep curve and it going slow AF super fast charging at a higher percentage than like 40% is annoying and takes forever so it's faster to make my trip using several chargers, yes i did the maths i in a 4 hr trip yesterday i saved about 40 minutes by using 3 chargers instead of just one.
