Are the pins in your port straight and free of oxidation/debris?

Yes.

Over a thousand unique supercharging stations across all our cars. Yo-yo changes like that. I have had it happen randomly with all cars over the years. Yeah, if it's occurring with one vehicle and the consistent basis over a large geographic areas with different stalls, the odds are it's usually hardware related within the truck.

I just stumbled across this thread. I would just make that clear to service center that that this isn't just my local supercharger I may use all the time. I don't do that by the way.....

The yellow line shows the power which ramped up to 230-256 kW and then suddenly dropped down to 34 kW (when it would show that "charge rate limited" message). Outdoor temperature was ~73F and it was in the shade.

I had this happen once on a road trip, but no problems with the dozen or so other SCs I visited along the way. I chalked it up to the specific stall.

I get this all the time.. I thought is was ‘normal’

most ‘supercharger’ stations I go to 72, 150 or 250) all give me this message at some point.

is it a charger station or truck issue or both?

perfect confusion for everyone.

I have had this issue many times. Seems to be when heat at the connector is too high, both from charging at 120 degrees with the connector receiving full Sun, and when the cable is overly "stretched" when not parking close enough- this seems to cause the overheating as well.

I am now having this issue after the PCS replacement. However, there are no alerts or issues in the logs, other than just than the charging drops to ~35KW when charging above ~170KW. This occurred at multiple locations and multiple stalls at each location, even if there was no one else charging. The truck does report that the charging rate is limited by the charging station each time.

Service can’t reproduce it because the local service center only has 125KW supercharger.

Anyone else experiencing this now? Or is it coincidental because it is hotter and sunny out?
