Charging stops at 85%
Got my model 3 standard range a week back and haven’t been able to charge it to a 100%. I have used a couple of 11kw chargers at work and the result has been the same both times. The charging just stops automatically after 85% is hit. I have set the limit to a 100% of course and am also aware that it is not recommended to charge to a 100% but I just want to get there once to see if it works. Have set up a service appointment but it’s still a couple of weeks away. Could not find another charging setting that could be limiting the charge. Suggestions?

Uninstall and reinstall app?
How many users do you have set up and do they have control with apps on their phone?
> I am the only user setup and the only app is on my phone. Will have to try the reboot but am not too hopeful. It’s got to be a setting somewhere that’s not user accessible. Maybe the service guys have to change it for me.
First rule of Tesla is to reboot if you are having issues.
Install and reinstall the app sometimes things stay in cache that are not visible or able to be deleted.
You would be the first report of service charge limit Murph I have heard of if that is the case.
you do bring up a good point. Maybe your car thinks its in Transport or Service Mode. There may be a charging limit on those modes.
You have to call tesla service number and ask them to check but do not take the first persons word for it. The front line folks cant see the setting on Tesla servers. They may claim they can but it takes a tier 2 person to check/reset it.

I have same problem. Charge is set to 60% (300km) Sometimes stops charging at 284 km. Most of the time it goes upto 300 or 305 km
Charge rate is 10 amps. Circuit breaker is 50 amps! Any explanation?
284km and 305km are within 6% of each other. 5% to 10% variation is not unusual for SoC measurements.
Your charging speed of 10 amps with a 50 amp breaker could indicate your wiring is not sufficient to handle 40 amps or your charging connector settings may be off. What kind of charging connector are you using? Wall Connector, Mobile Connector? other?

Is that a Model 3 Standard Range Plus, Made in China, by any chance? The one with the LFP battery?

Have you looked to see what the charging set point is AFTER you plug into a charger? Maybe when you plug in it is dropping to 85% but you should be able to just slide it back up to 100% at that time.
Ok so went to the supercharger today thinking maybe I am dumb and don’t know how to use an AC charger so maybe the super charger will be kinder to me. Same issue. Charging stops at 85% and won’t go further. Confirmed multiple times that my limit is set to a 100 or at least that white bar is to the right extreme. Changed super chargers and tried to restart supercharging. No dice. Charging started and stopped immediately and got a warning to get out of there or pay idle fees. Also found that super charging is not so super after all. Suuuuper slow. Max I hit was 28kw and it got progressively slower, which is expected, as I got close to my 100% which is 85%. I admit I plugged in at 43% but still. If I have to sit in a super charger for an hour to get from 43% to 85% then there is not much else that can be said. Spoke to the guy who was charging a few spots away from me and he said that he had 60kw.
I guess I will just have to watch Netflix while people go on with their lives and I wave to them as they drive away.

I ordered the car in Europe. Looks like it came from the US but am not sure if there is a Chinese battery involved. I hope they fix whatever it is. Waiting for someone to contact me before my appointment on the 12th.

If it came from the US then is does NOT have the Chinese battery. Sounds like you will just have to wait for your appointment, but as I said to the other person, actually going to the supercharger is a good troubleshooting step before going to service. I also like your breakdown of times, SOC's and charging rates! That is great information!
“Model 3 – China”, and with a VIN starting with LRW, and LC designating the year (L = 2020) and the country of manufacture (C = China).
IF YES then check my post, my car also stops at 85%
I would love to jump on the china battery sucks, haha bandwagon, but alas, more data is needed.
Exact same response to a 2nd guy who complained of LFP , i was more explicit as it is made in china
