Yes, part of Tesla’s 50% charging rate plan to encourage non-peak charging. Started as a pilot program and just implemented. Thought behind it is to spread out usage at locations for people who have to travel and charge during work hours and have long waits to use. $ used as incentive. I would also assume the cost to Tesla for electricity during those higher priced hours is more too. Kind of goes along with the Calif utilities’ reduced electricity usage campaign then too (what is that..4-9pm I think?).

I have a 2014 P85D with close to 100Kmi. Yeah, the older cars super charging are definitely being nerfed. Interesting observation is I get better speed at the urban super chargers, like the one under the Los Altos under the Wholefoods that only goes up to 75kw. My S also gets better charging rate with a CHAdeMO adapter on a ChargePoint or EVGo station. Maybe something about older Teslas on a V3 that's not going to get the best charging rate.

I stopped at this location yesterday to try and get a quick charge on my way home but only got 34 kW! I wasn’t sharing stall and the location was about half full. What’s up with that?

29%, no pre-conditionping even though I had the SC as destination all the way from San Bruno. May be the high outside temperature (33°C) stops that? Only got to 43% in 19 mi
Interesting... if you get the opportunity, try again below 15% and hopefully pre-condition. Note outside temp also.
Recently opened SvC's have been known to be tweaked by Tesla for a short time. 33C seems quite high (may have shortened need for pre-condition.).
