Good morning guys!
I received a Charge Cable Fault error twice while at the Hawthorne Supercharger. This was my first time ever receiving this error. Searches seem to suggest this was a problem with home charging and potentially a loose ground. Have people encountered this at the SCs?
-I have charged at this SC many times before without a problem
-This error was on 2 separate stations/cables (from left to right #3, and #1; #5 completed the charge)
-I had just upgraded to the most recent 5.8 (#2) update 1-2 days prior to the errors
-I had locked the door on the vehicle once the charge started (never had done that before, so thought I would mention it)
-I try to make sure the plug is seated all the way in, holding it till the charge port shows blinking green.
** Is there something I am doing that is damaging my car? Can I avoid these interruptions somehow? Is this a bug with the new software update? **
Thanks guys for any insight you might have!

- The first error in the morning forced me to quit after +70mi charge. The charge handle was almost too hot to hold. I did not try to replug it in, and decided I would come back later.
- At night, I returned for another charge and after another +60mi or so it quit again. It was not as warm to the touch. After moving to another station, I was able to get the +140mi to finish my charge.
