plugged in today at San Clemente Supercharger and got a full 120kW! It only lasted for a short moment but still, I have not seen this for a very long time. My battery was nice and toasty (47 C) from driving fast. Nice to see that on a battery that has 175k miles on it

120KW is nice but the MPH charge rate seems low?? I Normally see north of 300MPH for the first 5-10 min. or so.

As others have asked it'd be nice to know what your 100% SOC rated range is?? I'm down to about 258 mi. @ 72K miles on a 2012 S85

I can answer this one. MPH charge rate on the display is an average over the duration of the charge session. Since supercharging starts at a low kw rate and ramps up, and OP only has 1 mile added in that photo, the image was taken before the average went up very far.
This is also why it displays a high MPH rate when you supercharge over 90%; even though you know that under 20kw does not get you over 60 MPH charge rate.
