Can someone please quantify for me, approx how many minutes from 90-100% for a given Tesla model?
Charging to the top slows down your trip and there’s no need for it in most Teslas.
This is probably aimed at those who ignore that fact and insist on charging to the top, or people with non-Teslas, which typically tend to have lower range, as they start using the network in the future.
Does this just go into Tesla's profits?

No idea. Have never had to do it in many trips spanning from California to Texas and Montana. Charging to the top slows down your trip and there’s no need for it in most Teslas.

I get the time efficiency issue. I read the article and the “top comment” is from a guy who says he has needed to go 100% for certain legs of his USA road trips. I’m just wondering what the surcharge for this corner case is.
So if one chooses off-peak travel times the charges could be avoided in some cases with luck and planning, if the policy works that same way.
But the infamous travel legs like Kingman to Flagstaff are quickly being remedied with network buildout, so soon the people doing this kind of top of the range charging will be only the most inconsiderate folks… who therefore should pay.

If lower efficiency cars like VW ID4 start using the network, it will be a money printing machine for Tesla.
