I live in the Philadelphia area and have installed a 240v connector. For the last two nights, my nightly charge rate is only 7 mph. It was fine a few weeks ago, charging quickly. In fact I hadn't plugged it in for over a week because it didn't need it.
Now I'm only at 80 miles after a night of charging.
Thoughts?

For S&G's, I'd try a regular 120 outlet for a night and see if you get a difference. Also, I restart never hurts, and if all else fails, call Tesla and have them check the logs.
Is this a Tesla charger or other brand?
It's an outlet we had installed by an electrician and I'm using the 'normal' charging cord with no adapters.

NEMA 14-50
240 volt / 50 amp breaker (outlet installation guide)
Maximum 32 amp output
Secondly in the charge window on the display can you adjust the rate of charge, in amps, up using the plus sign or is 8 amps the max it will allow you to go?
If the car isn't allowing any more than 8 amps it's probably seeing something wrong with the circuit or other load on the circuit that the electrician installed.
Can you dial that up to 32A?
Apparently, the power plug was little lose. Instead of all letters(TESLA) on the adopter flashing in green, the letter “T” was in red.
I just tightened it up.
I didn't realize the connection on the brick was loose until the plug suddenly fell out from it. I thought the Red flashing T was about my house power. Instead it was a two second fix
Back in my networking days, "Its always the cable" was a frequent post-game phrase. Still true: double check any cables that get handled.
Just moved into new condo where I have a deeded dedicated spot that by contract is to have a Level 2 240 V 40 Amp outlet. I had my electrician install the HPWC (The black one that has Elon's signature on it so it's about 2 years old but was new and right out of the box - received as a referral reward). It's only charging at a rate of 7 mi/hour and as soon as I log in via the app it drops to 6mi/hr.
The Tesla Touchscreen Display won't let me go higher than 12 A when plugged in. When not plugged in, I can adjust that to 40 Amps.
Of Note: The charger is directly wired to the electrical panel in my condo (9th floor) and there is a dedicated 40 A breaker.
Any thoughts on why this is happening and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Your electrician didn't set the internal rotary selector switch to the correct amperage rating for your install.
