66 km/hr.
I expect to get nearly 10x that at the Toronto SC on my way home.
UPDATE: The Toronto SC charged at 608 km/hr. Only 9.2x faster.

I presume that 608 km/h was at peak charging BUT:
Until what % did you charge it? 80%? 90%? and with the % charged, how long did it take to you to charge, let say from 20% to XX%?
And how the «tapering» looked like? Is it very that slow starting 80%?
Thanks for the info!
I didn't stick around enough to find out. I only charged to 70 km to get home. There are videos from KmanAuto that show that it starts tapering very soon after charging from near empty. See here: Tesla Model S / X: Supercharging a 60kW Battery from Dead, 105kW Charging Rate!!! - YouTube
The display in the car never shows you peak charging km/h - it is an average over the charging session. So it is lower than actual at the beginning of the charge (as it tapers up - depending on battery temps etc. this effect may be small), and much higher than actual at the very end of the charge.
Better to look at the kW (either by setting the display to show kW, or by doing mental arithmetic on the V and A values shown).
I'm planning on visiting tonight, at around 7 or 8 pm. I'll post updates here as soon as I'm on site. If anyone would like to meet up, you can PM me or post here.

Would love to head down but have a soccer game this evening. Let us know how it is and I'll probably make a stop tomorrow or this weekend!
Not yet, to the best of my knowledge. I'll be there tonight at around 1900hrs to update everyone.

Seems that parts will have to be replace for these two stalls (they'll put covers on these 2 until it works)... but I tested the 4 others stalls and they are working like a charm

And there are some pics from Cornwall SC (sorry folks if you have to break your neck with the 2 photos...)

Amazing. Toronto, here we come
I will be at Cornwall at around 10am Saturday, then a one hour or so stop at the BW Kingston before arriving at the Toronto Lawrence SC. Honestly, early in August I had no confidence this would happen by august 30th in time for my trip. Great news !

Seems that there will be an «official» opening scheduled for tomorrow from what the guys told me...

Actually, they were pushed by Tesla to open it before this long weekend...

Well said!
The "charging speed" calculation seems to also include the initial minute or so when the current is being ramped up. So it's a really misleading figure initially. And since it's an overall average, it tells you very little about the charging power at the moment you're looking at the screen.

Maybe because of the tapering?
From what I understood is that (and you see that in my report) the first charging «stages» (let say between 10% to 60% is very rapid) but the further you are in the charging the pace goes down...
You said that you started at 44% and finished at 93%, my understanding is that «% range» is longer to charge in that case because of the tapering than if it would have been a charge from 0% to 59%
My 2 cents... maybe Cottonwood or Doug_G could clarify it... they are the best in these analysis
Thank you for the data! It's awesome that Cornwall is open! Even though I'm 5000 km away!
The photo a couple of posts up shows 301A @ 369V, which is 111 kW, with the battery 30% full.
And for those who think 14 kW is glacial - I'm used to 6 kW! The public chargers here are typically 30A, 208V nominal. And I only have the "single charger" in the car. I basically wouldn't try to go on any long distance trips to places that are lacking in Superchargers.
