I have a pair of Teslas (2015 Model S, 2020 Model X) that I charge via an identical pair of communicating Gen 2 Tesla High Powered Wall Connectors (HPWCs) in my garage, capable of load balancing. The HPWCs share a single 100 amp 240V circuit, and both HPWCs have their DIP switches set for 80 amps maximum output. The reason for such a high 80A current limit is that my 2015 Model S has dual built-in AC-->DC chargers and can actually sustain a L2 charging rate of 80A @ 240VAC. In contrast, my newer Model X (with a single built-in internal AC to DC charger) is limited to a 48A L2 charging rate.
So here's my question: When using the latest Tesla App on my iPhone, how come I can remotely select the amperage charging rate (up to 80 amps) for my old Model S, but there's no similar ability in the Tesla App to set the amperage charge rate for my newer Model X (It's fixed at 48A unless I adjust it in the car)? Both cars are running the same software version. Just curious.
