supercharging today, my S seems to be charging (miles remaining going up) but it shows 0 kW and 0 mi/hr. Anyone seen this before? I find it a little disturbing.

Car charges but shows 0 kW

That would be the opposite set of symptoms. He said it's showing 0 power, but the miles are going up, which is probably a display error. You're talking about if the battery is frozen, and it will show power being used to run the battery heating, but the miles would not be increasing because it hasn't started charging yet.

Except that the car will show the volts and amps and kilowatts being used on the display.
Pretty sure it was just some glitch/bug preventing the display from reading. Right after reboot, it was showing around 70 kW which is roughly in line with how fast the miles remaining was going up before and after.
If the battery is really cold, I can see how supercharging would at first not charge the battery at all but instead use the energy to warm the battery. Since a warm battery can release more energy than a cold one, then it is possible to show 0kw charge but increasing range as the battery warms. I would assume charge kw would go up as a temp threshold is reached and the battery can actually charge.
