I am not going to be making a table for this charge session because for some odd reason the charge from 80-81% got added to the first charge session graph which I didn't account for in that table.

Additionally, it seems there might have been a discrepancy between the peak charge rate advertised by Tesla and the actual charging speed observed at the Mauston, WI Supercharger. This inconsistency further complicates the analysis, making it challenging to accurately represent the charging data in a table format.

How long does it take to charge the Model 3 from 81% to 90%?

It took approximately 10 minutes to go from 81% to 90% and added 26.53 miles of range.

How long does it take to charge the Model 3 from 90% to 100%?

It took approximately 31 minutes to go from 90% to 100% and added 29.02 miles of range, however, it took another 24 minutes and 21 seconds for the computer to read the charge was fully completed and added remaining 1.74 miles to the battery.

Unless you require a maximum range to make it to your destination, it's best to just charge to 90-95%. Charging beyond this range can result in diminishing returns, as the additional time spent at the charger yields minimal gains in range. Furthermore, exceeding this threshold may cause the vehicle to lose regenerative braking functionality, which is crucial for optimizing energy efficiency during driving.

Therefore, it's prudent to strike a balance between achieving sufficient range and minimizing charging time, ensuring a practical and efficient charging strategy for your journey.
