I pulled it out and looked inside the charge port and the charger “wand” and there are no obvious obstructions. When I plug it in, I hear about 5 “cha-chick” clicks sounds before it’s finally done mucking about and the charging starts.
I have had the “obstruction” warning maybe only one or two times in 10 days, but the loose feeling to the charger has been consistent.
Yeah, sounds like it is time to contact Tesla. Something is broken.
If you want to troubleshoot it some more then I would find someone else with a UMC or Wall Connector or a Destination Charger to see if it will lock in properly and go above 16 amps.
Another thing to try is to go to a J1772 charging station and use your adapter to see if that works.
I might also try playing with the emergency release handle in the trunk gently with nothing plugged in to see if you can exercise the latch mechanism a bit.
Good luck and please report back when you get a final resolution as to what the issue was in order to help folks in the future!
