So... I stopped by the new Microtel in Monahans, TX. They installed a pair of 80A destination chargers. Since I'm a Wyndham member they were kind enough to let me charge without getting a room. AWESOME I plug in but the car won't pull >12A.... I'm probably the 1st or 2nd person to ever use these... I had to remove zip ties from the cables. The breakers are on the back of the pedestal and they're clearly 100A. They were obviously installed but never configured.
I go get a T20 bit from a local hardware store and try to fix them (with permission) but the screws are 'vandal proof'. You need a hollow T20. I give up and go to a nearby RV park that lets me charge for free since the owner also has a Tesla.
..... long story short.... auto parts stores DO carry the vandal proof T20 and both HPWC are now properly configured to deliver 80A. This will probably happen again.... Tesla needs to put a big red sticker on the HPWC especially the ones for the destination charger program to ensure they are configured correctly. And now you know how to fix this too. Go find an o Reilly get the Torx.... then return it
