I charged at a peak of 74.2KW on a new Duke Energy Shell Recharge station listed at 150kW. I didn't record any Leafspy data but I go by this station often so I'll do it next time.
I tried to buy one the day Tesla began offering the $7500 discount but the 200 mile search went from 15 vehicles to none in a few hours. Now, most Model Y's won't qualify for the $7,500 tax credit. Hopefully Tesla will respond with a sub $55k model that qualifies for the tax credit or come up...
