For the past week I've been getting some strange charge port colors at home.

When I open the charge port, it's purple sometimes instead of white. After it charges, and it just remains plugged in, sometimes it shows as orange. The connection is fine and pressed all the way in. Very random in the past week. Anyone else experience this?

If everything shows normal on the vehicle UI while this is happening then the charge port indicator or controller might be bad.
Purple is white (red, green, blue) minus green.
Orange is green + red.

I had this for a week but after the last update it’s gone back to the correct colors for me.

This has been happening to me as well. I'm also getting a strange blue/white color before I plug in. Last update 2024.45.25.15 didn't change anything for me. I added it to my service ticket for early February.

Purple is for power sharing. I wish mine would go purple :)
Negative on power sharing here. No outages, etc Wall charger light also shows standby blue. Nothing with the wall charger or house changes, isolated to the truck

I don’t think it necessarily means that power sharing is happening but, rather, that the truck is ready. But mine doesn’t even get that far.
