Then we must assume you have reviewed all support tickets. I have not, so I can only refer to discussions from other forums to gauge user experiences:

I had a problem with some small parts falling off the rear left corner of my bed. This surprised me, I wasn’t sure if it was due to the Aux fan, so I took a thermal camera and took a look at the bed.
Wouldn’t you know it, even with the Aux fan off, there’s a cooler spot! With the Aux fan on, it’s more pronounced as the fan helps to cool that area.
Attached are some images of what I’m seeing. I circled the cool spot in black.
Depending on when you capture the thermal image, the cool spot can b…
I did my first print with PC filament today and saw the part was starting to warp at the corners and lift a part of the brim. First thought was to increase bed temp but I wasn’t able to go higher than 110! Unfortunately the spec sheet for X1C says 120C for 110V, 110C for 220V. I’m on 110V. Documentation problem or bug in firmware?

A dedicated power meter that shows instantaneous power draw to the nearest .1W. I ran the bed and nozzle tests separately and did not see the bed heat draw much more than 250W. You’re right that the printer heats the bed first and then the nozzle. As mentioned in this thread, the bed is heated directly by the AC input and thus doesn’t tax the power supply.
I’ll repeat the test tomorrow and see what I can find. I have three different power meters, so it will be interesting to see how much they …
These represent just a few of the previously documented concerns regarding heating issues and power consumption. Additionally, my X1 Carbon heats so slowly and unevenly that I need to heat soak it for over 10 minutes to achieve a satisfactory first layer with my current setup.
