I realize this thread is about destination charging but seems to be addressing charging, in general, so here’s my situation: I have a late 2016 S and with my electrical setup can charge at 240/48, which the Tesla Support Page on Home Charging Installation says will produce 11.5kW and 34 mph. (My calculations suggest it is 34.8 mph — and I think I do get about 35 in reality — but perhaps the difference is rounding.)
I am also adding a Model 3 and that support page says I will get the same 240/48, but only if I get LR. Small battery is 2/3 of LR (32 vs 48 amps).
Now I (finally) get to my two questions. Why will I get 44mph on the LR 3 at 240/48 when I only get 34-35 mph on my S at 240/48? And what will I experience in terms of Supercharging the LR 3 (or short range 3) vs the S?
From what I have gathered, it looks like my LR 3 will charge faster than the S at home, but slower at Superchargers. Right?
