If you charge at home overnight, you don't need to charge that fast. That's why they're called "home" chargers I've never had a problem charging to full overnight. And I can't imagine a scenario where you'd need to fill up in a couple hours before the other teenager needs it at midnight.

Do you want to give a try to...maybe...READING...the 21 replies? I answered it in the second reply.
I assumed they were looking for a link.
The upgraded charging was an option, and having options increases production cost & complexity. My impession has always been that they went to 48A only to cut said cost & complexity by standardizing.
If you see 72A on the charging screen while not plugged in, I think that means you can charge @ 72. Unless it has changed with the v11 UX, the display should show the maximum negotiated rate once you are plugged in (so after you plug in you mobile connector, it should show 12 instead of 72). In my experience, if a loaner didn't have the 72A charger, it would show 48 while not plugged in. That having been said, it could have changed, as I don't remember the 72 showing last time I supercharged (pre v11).
The highest we've seen on our vehicles has been 48 so if he's seeing 72, I believe you are correct and his car can potentially charge at up to 72 amps.
2018s could charge at up to 72 amps. This assumes maximum using a Tesla Wall connector programmed and wired correctly with a 90 (or 100) amp circuit. With 6-15 plug attached to the mobile charger, it drops to 80% of 15 amps (12). if you used the 14-50 plug it would allow up to the maximum of the mobile connector or 32 amps.
I have had several instances where charging at 72 A (the max on my 2018 X) was very helpful. Some midday charging, and sometimes coming home late after an event at night, and needing to get going early in the morning. No teenagers needed.
