Purchased Model 3 in November 2019. We have been using a Clipper Creek EVSE for three years prior to that, using Tesla's J1772 adapter for the Model 3.
No issues charging the Model 3 until recently. A couple of times, I noticed the EVSE was flashing a red error when plugged into the Tesla. Unplugging/plugging the EVSE made the error go away. In the past month, I've gotten three notices in the Tesla App that overnight (scheduled start 3:30 AM) charging was interrupted. The interruption occurred within the first few minutes of the start of the charge. On two of the instances (according to Teslafi) charging was restarted a couple of hours later and successfully completed the charge. This morning it didn't make the second attempt. In these three cases, the EVSE did not flash red error the next morning.
I examined the J1772 adapter and it looked fine. I looked at the J1772 plug on the Clipper Creek, and using a flashlight noticed tiny beads of condensation along the internal edges of the plug. I'm assuming this may be the cause of charge interruption.
Has anyone else experienced this? I live in SF, CA area. Temps last night dipped into the high 40s, with yesterday and today's temps expected to be in the low 60s.
