The best I've seen on my 2024 lightning XLT is 175kW at a Tesla charger.
They updated the FAQ it seems. It says 15-80% in 38 minutes which is faster than what was previously listed via the way back machine.

I think there have been changes via over the air updates. I swear my mi/kWh have improved without changing anything, and my charging has been faster. The fastest I've seen is with Tesla chargers at 186kW. It will hold it for 5 to 6 minutes before dropping back. It's consistent at all Tesla chargers I've used including the new V4's.

2024 Lariat ER. Confirmed 183kW peak at Tesla charger with A2Z adapter. Stayed above 175kW for at least 8min. Was mid 50s temp outside.

35% to 77% in 23min. 58kWh added. Average 151kW charge rate. Pretty good for a 400V battery!

I have not been able to get above 120kW at any other chargers. Blink, EA, EV Connect, etc.

Based on some of the posts here I was slightly worried they changed something in the 2024s. Doesn't appear to be the case for DCFC.

Of course the onboard level 2 is now capped at 48A, but that's plenty. Saves some money on the install and no 80A FOMO.
