Mine throttled one or twice last summer. The Tesla charger gave a red blink code for charge head overheating.

I installed a 100A charger for my 2013 Model S. I bought it used with the dual chargers (glad I did, one failed after warranty and is 3k to fix). As others have said, even on an 80A charger, the truck still maxes out at 48A.

One benefit to the 100A charger is that I could set up load sharing for a single circuit that would allow me to have 2 40A chargers without extra circuits. Right now they're separate, but if I need to expand, I could consolidate those two chargers and still have 80A charging on both (one at a time) if necessary.
