My 2018 Model X used to charge like a champ, but now it's taking forever at Superchargers! I've been to different Tesla service centers, and they all say everything's fine. But it's NOT fine! I'm starting to think my car is just lazy or something .Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas what's going on? I'm at my wit's end!
 
Try testing it. I don't believe that's how it works. Drain the battery completely, then use a Supercharger to recharge it. Keep track of the charging session's duration and speed. It should start quickly and continue to charge rapidly.

You should try charging at different supercharger locations to see if the issue persists, it can be related to the charger rather than the car itself.

I might be wrong, but it sure seems like Tesla might not be giving you the full story. I recommend letting your battery drop to 10% or lower, then plug it into a supercharger and record the charging screen for at least 30 minutes. You should see at least 350 mph at the start, and if it’s not reaching around 60% after that, then you should push back on Tesla again

Yeah right, documenting the charging rates will give more leverage to discuss it with Tesla.

Could it be related to your battery's state of health or recent software updates? Have you noticed if the charging speed varies significantly depending on the Supercharger or your battery’s charge level?
