If your car detects a possible issue when charging, it will lower the amps by 25%. For example, if you charge at 40 amps, it will lower it to 30 amps to be safe. 75% of 72 amps is 54 amps. There a several threads which discuss this drop. Here's one: Charging Reduced From 40A to 30A
You shouldn't have to reset the charger. When the car is not plugged in & at the location with the charger, set the current limit back to the max.Thanks! I just did a reset of the charger and the car is now back to full charge. Never knew about the 25% reduction.
But notice what the rest of this thread is saying; it probably isn't your wall connector that has a problem. The car will lower the amps to 3/4 of the set level if it detects that there is an unexpected voltage drop somewhere in the circuit upstream (Bad Thing). So you should get that checked to see if there is a loose connection somewhere.I'm thinking there is something wrong with my HPWC. I can reset it to 72A when I get home, and it immediately changes to 54A when I plug in. If I do a reset of the charger before I plug it in, the car will charge at 72A. It jumps back down to 54A a day or so later.

It's definitely not the switch settings inside the wall connector. If it were set for that, it would ONLY feed that current. He is saying that sometimes it will run at 72A for a day or two, and then revert to a lower level.I would check your settings. There are dip switches that could be set incorrectly to 54A. Pull cover off and you will see the setting for 72A settings.
Looks like your car is detecting only 54A available.

just got my New X and don't even know how to post a new question on this site?
NEED EXPERT ELECTRICAL ADVICE
I'm trying to rig a 100' extension cord FOR OCCASIONAL EMERGENCY USE. i have a 220v /30A outlet on the outside of my house. 3 pin twist lock type. BUT the tesla cord either has a FOUR PIN 240v plug or whatever is left when NO adapters are used.
how do i get from a 3pin (with conduit as ground) to 4 pin to use this extension cord???
For expert advice, you should learn the specific names of the types of outlets you're asking about, so we can give helpful answers. The naming system for outlet types is called NEMA. Here is a page that shows the most common types and what they're used for, but you can Google for NEMA outlets, and find charts of every single kind.just got my New X and don't even know how to post a new question on this site?

He said it's a 30 amp outlet, so not L6-20 obviously. Very likely an L6-30, though.Based on the "twist lock" description, I would guess it was actually a 6-20 outlet.
The "4 pin" you're talking about is called a 14-50. The site evseadapters.com sells several types of adapters for the Tesla charging cord 14-50 plug to other outlet types. This one should be the one you're looking for, which is the L6-30.how do i get from a 3pin (with conduit as ground) to 4 pin to use this extension cord???
