I also don't see how the battery will retain heat any differently than the current battery if the thermal resistance and capacitance are the same. Truthfully, given the greater capacity, the new battery should perform better from a heat generation standpoint given equivalent loads.
The 24kwh battery only accepts the full charge rate (~45kw I think?) for a limited time (until 80%?), after that tapering begins.
The 30kwh battery (and likewise the 40kwh) can accept the full charge rate for a longer period of time. So the loads (and power delivery) are NOT equivalent.
Do you have data to support this? I have several charge curves showing the knee at 35-45%. Nothing remotely close to what you are saying. In fact, I spent over an hour looking for a curve that did not start until after 50% and could not find one...
Let me add that you can charge at whatever to whatever for however long but the only thing I see as important is how much charge you got.
On average, only using 2nd, 3rd and 4th QC data on my 2018, my 2011 and 2013 got more charge in 30 mins less than half the time...
You might be mistaking the 30 kwh pack which had a MUCH steeper charge profile and I would see the knee at 74 to 83 %.
