Charging (or not) at home

[CW22]

I rented a Cybertruck over the weekend. Plugged it into the same Tesla cord and plug (220v, 30amp) outlet that I've used for 4 Model Y's and 1 Model X. It wouldn't charge at first, saying the plug was not fully inserted/latched. A little fiddling eventually got it to start charging at 8 mph (this combo normally yields 23 mph) while the normally green pulsating light was a yellow/orange pulsating light.

Mentioned it to Tesla service when I was there for something else. They said the Cybertruck uses the same charging cable/plug as the other models, but said he suspected there was something a little "off" on the truck itself. However, it charged just fine at a Supercharger station. Any thoughts? I'd like to know what's going on before I get my truck.

Check the app and make sure the Amps weren't set to a low number.

I have the opposite problem. I blew fuses... yes fuses on my 6-30 welder outlet. Had truck set to 24amps. This morning it is set to 48 and fuses are gone. I have the 6-30 adapter from AC works https://acworks.com/products/g2ev630pt-6-30-tesla-mobile-connector.
Which is supposed to set mobile charger to 24 amp max so the truck setting itself to 48amp shouldnt actully be a problem.... still annoying it doesnt hold the setting. I have service coming up for the mobile charger on tue because the button on the handle doesnt work. Hopefully they swap it out because i dont see how else i fry 30 amp fuses.
