Nema 14-50 charge rate.

hmm. ok. thanks. but you said if one is heading to a supercharger....sure. so make sense or not? Dont' have to answer. the battery is capable of automatically conditioning and stay conditioned during cold temps. We all know that but.....you do have an option to pre condition the battery so it will charge at a steady rate and if super charging absolutely you should have conditioning on. ok so were are agreeing. cool.

Yet you suggested you would precondition the car to get a more constant charge rate at home. That is not necessary. Actually wasteful. Maybe I missed something. There is no reason to precondition outside of supercharging.

Edit add. You can't precondition a battery other than turning on the heat, or selecting a supercharger in your destination. So how is that going to work in the summer. AC won't kick on the batter warmer. At that point you don't know at what point tesla will start preconditioning. I can see you don't own a Tesla. Don't use youtube as a guide.

From Tesla:

Precondition Shortly Before Your Drive
You can manually pre-heat the cabin by activating preconditioning or defrost in the Tesla app.

• Precondition: Open the Tesla app and select ‘Climate’ > ‘Turn On.’
• Defrost: Open the Tesla app and select ‘Climate’ > ‘Defrost Car.’

Don't see the word battery anywhere
Unless you see the little battery waves on your app. Which you can't force by the way. Unless you do the tricks of putting in a supercharger in the address and driving around to heat the battery. Which is fundamentally not smart, and could be annoying or dangerous(getting lost). How fun is it to drive around with the wrong address all the time?

Has anyone tried a Gen1 40A mobile charging adapter with a Cybertruck? Wondering if it will charge at 40A or only 32A. I have a 40A setup at home. Thanks!

Another owner shot a video of this behavior at home, so he also has crap wiring or it's a Cybertruck thing. He shows his Model S charging on the same plug without fluctuation.

You should be good. 11kW.

Just to follow up on the OP question.
The first hint is that they are showing pictures of the screen, which means the truck isn't asleep.
And then add that the climate control would be on.
And then determine if the battery is conditioning itself because of severe cold.

If you want faster charge rates, leave the vehicle alone, don't look at it with the app, make sure that Sentry is turned off and let it fall into a deep sleep.

I did, it chargers at full 40A

Thanks! That’s exactly what I needed to know.

It's true that some parks have outdated wiring or bad breakers. But for the past week, we've been getting consistent results at this C. Florida park. Maybe you can look around for a spot closer to the "main load" panel. Each "stand" or RV outlet has a main panel usually closer to the main road. The shortest the distance to it will have better results on older wiring. Also, after years of RV'ers plugging IN/OUT burnt spark particle of carbon form on the contacts inside the outlet side. Creating resistance (heat) that will degrade your quality of line voltage. Your CT and chargers are smart enough to filter out tensions that can cause harm. Downside is what your're getting.

You circled a portion of the screen shot as if that is an important section, it isn't. The important section is actually to the right of that, the 32/32A and 241V.

The 32/32A indicates that the mobile connector is rated at 32A and that you are running at max capacity, the second 32A.
The 241V indicates that the voltage is at expected levels. With 240V being a common home level. Some commercial sites may only be 208V, which is a correct number, but will represent a slower charge.

You generally want to watch the voltage from the time you first plug in for the first couple of minutes. As the vehicle starts charging, it ramps the current up and the voltage should stay nearly the same, maybe only a few volts difference. If it drops by more than a few volts, then there is indication of wiring issues. And the vehicle should start reducing the charging current to something like 20/32A.
