I noticed it back in May I think after switching to a new HPWC because the 2018 new MCU car would throw errors using Gen1 HPWC. When connected to the old HPWC the old car would show the correct amperage, but the new one shows usually 1 but sometimes 2A less than the max. Not only that, on the new 2018 car, even on new HPWC, the max often shows 47 instead of 48, so I see 47/47 and then occasionally it goes to 48/48 and then 47/48 and then back to 47/47. On my older (2015) car using the old Mobile adapter it always shows 40/40 and the old HPWC always showed 80/80, but the when connected to the new one it seems to often show one amp less (39/40 or 79/80) but the max doesn't change to less like the new car.
My guess is as long as it's chugging along and even at 1A less, it's far from top of Tesla's priority list to fix. If they had time and expertise to throw at it, they would have figured out the problem with new cars and Gen1 HWPC's, since there are a bunch of Gen1 HWPC's deployed out there as destination chargers, and a lot of new Teslas can't use them reliably.
