I had a question RE: an odd occurrence that recently happened. I figured I'd ask here before I let my overthinking spiral out of control:
I plugged my Tesla into its wall connector in last night at 23:54. It started charging. I lowered it to 27A. Later into the evening, I lowered it further to 25A since I wouldn't be leaving until later.
I woke up and my iPhone told me there was an error: the handle should be reinserted. However, the Tesla did charge to 80%.
The error code was: CP_a054 (pic of the error attached below)
My worries:
Trying to be rational. Do you guys think the error message was a mistake? The Tesla did charge. And if an incomplete connection was being made, wouldn't either the Wall Connector or the Model 3 cease charging to protect themselves?
Also, error CP_a054 states that it could possibly charge at 16A at this state. However, it was charging at 27A, and I was able to lower it later in the evening to 25A. Would that imply the error message was an initial error, or it resolved itself to allow that level of charging?
Is it safe to conclude Teslas are robust enough in their self-protective mechanisms that if there was a potentially dangerous occurrence in charging, they would just not charge?
Thank you guys for any help

My worries:
- The error states the handle wasn’t fully inserted. If there was a gap, is there a risk of electrical arc'ing, or something dangerous?
- Essentially, I’m afraid either the Tesla or its Wall Connector were damaged charging overnight with that error.
