Assuming a 75 kWh usable capacity and a little math, it’s possible to calculate the average power during these intervals

1-10%, 135 kW
10-20%, 225 kW
20-30%, 150 kW
30-40%, 90 kW
40-50%, 75 kW
50-60%, 64 kW
60-70%, 64 kW
70-80%, 64 kW
80-90%, 50 kW
90-100%, 24 kW

Overall, this charge session looks to have been significantly slower than what should be possible under ideal conditions.

I hit 239 and it took about 20mins to charge to 80%

I'm new to this as just got my first Tesla a few days ago - MY. I plugged in to V3 charger and the screen showed I was getting 400 miles per hour. I need to get educated on the electric nomenclature lol

Same, Highway18...I went to a V3 supercharger last night after taking delivery yesterday, and was bummed that the car was only pulling 60Kw...but now I see, I was about 80% charged already so that number makes sense...huh. Who knew?!?

The way that the user has listed the times, with only hours and minutes means that there is a very large margin of error. If you look at 5:20 - 5:23, that could be 5:20:49 to 5:23:00. That yields 225 kW. Then consider that there is at least 30 seconds where the car is "preparing to charge", so giving 1.5 minute for 0-10 could yield 300 kW. That is especially reasonable given that 225 kW was calculated for 10-20.

Unless you don't have home-charging setup, or are in a remote area, you don't want to bother with superchargers > 80%. On a road trip, there is a lot of sense in staying below 40%, due to the increased charge rate. This route planner tool does the numbers for that A Better Routeplanner
