I was digging through some older posts from 2017 and some folks were under the assumption that slower Supercharging speeds might not necessary be due to just each individual car's software, but the hardware and programming at the Supercharger might be a source of restriction as well. Some cited high charger wand temperature as a correction with less than peak SuC rates regardless of pairing/SOC%/battery temperature.
as someone who has 205k+ miles where more than 60-70% of that is supercharged and who has been denying updates since before batterygate, I believe it is the software firmware update that does the #batterygate voltage cap on the battery (hence why I keep denying updates), but #chargegate is entirely done at the supercharger. I'm not voltage capped but my supercharging sessions take about over hour to get from 10-80%, 1.5 hours to get to 90% and over 2 hours if I want to go to 100%. The rate might start at 118kw but within a few minutes its down to 70kw and not long before it gets to 50-60kw where it sits for a majority of it. post 50% SOC its below 50kw usually around 42kw and then its just the paaaiiinnn of waiiittttinnnngggg to get enough charge to make it to the next supercharger...
