If CHAdeMO units are current limited to 125A then the Model S can never get the full 50kW from them. The only way to get 50kW at 125A is by supplying power at 400V, but by the time the Model S pack is at 400V charge rate tapering means that it's already limited to less than 125A.
You'd only be able to get about 47-48kW.
This would also create the slightly strange behaviour that CHAdeMO charging would be faster at 50% charge than 0%.
