I'll reach out to my service advisor to pass the suggestion on to the Tech.

Tried fast charging after the updates for the 1st time at a 350KW EA station and only got 31Kw. Other Fords use the same station and get 130 - 150. Tried different stations and always below 17% but no change.
Now here's a little background from my experiance.
For some unknown reason, no one, EA, Ford, etc can figure out why this happens with my car BUT IF I use P&C at the EA in Flagstaff I get 31kw. Every. single. time. every charger (theres really only 3 becuase 1 is also down).
BUT if I pre-activate the charger via FP I get 100+kW. I can P&C at 31kW, stop it. unplug. Activate via FP, plug in and get 100+. I didn't bother to take a video because I was too busy laughing.

I bought my MME 2nd hand. My FP and Ford points were super weird for that first 4 months of owning it. Whenever I go to P&C there's at least 1 time that the charger looks like it's not going to work, It usually gets stuck on a loading screen and looks locked up, but in fact it's feeding 31kw to my car (seen in the IPC) I've charged for 10+ minutes to see if it'd ramp up but it doesnt. Oh and this is also in the summer so it's not a cold soaked battery or hot, it's right where it should be. But P&C takes about 2 minutes to work if it does. It's got about a 50% fail rate for me with P&C and when it does work it's 31kW. Pre-activated I jack in and under 20 seconds she's drinking her electons. I gave up on P&C for that reason. I really hope that it works with the Tesla adapter, though I've gotten reall used to using my phone to pre-activate a charge the ~20 times I've needed it.

FYI IF my plug and charge worked at an EA station for some unknown reason I only get ~30kw. I can cancel that charge and activate the station before plugging in, skipping P&C and I'll get a normal charge rate. Try activating the station from FordPass first and see if you get a different speed. I can't use P&C 80% of the time, and when it does actually click I get a trickle, so I gave up on it. There is no logical reason at all that I should have these results.
Lol I'ma dumbass
