Faster supercharging tip

Noticed a couple of possible tricks when supercharging.
1) even though Model X is theoretically limited to 150kw, using the CCS adapter on a V2 or V3 charger is faster than not using the adapter. My record was 183kw, but it only stayed at that speed for a second or two, by the time I took a picture it had dropped down to 182.

2) if the charge speed rapidly drops from 150 to 60kw but you are only about 50% charged, disconnecting and reconnecting brings it back up to high speed again. Yes, you loose a minute while it ramps back up, but the faster charge speed more than makes up for it.

Anybody else noticed this? Any risk to battery? Why should it be the case that disconnecting and reconnecting speeds it up?
