Odd... my connector works just fine at sub-zero temperatures.

Maybe a thin layer of grease, Vaseline, Teflon, or silicone would help?Ours has been getting worse for about the past month; only one time I couldn't detach it at all and gave up (in our garage), then came back later and it was easier so I assumed it was temperature-related. But I'm taking my car into the shop on Thursday and might get some feedback at that point. Amongst other things, I yanked off part of the wordmark on the back last time I cleaned the car.

Anyone know if the Leaf, Volt, and (other non-Teslas) can take advantage of campground charging? Wouldn't they just need a J1772 -> 14-50 adapter?
I know Model S has one or two 10 kW chargers onboard. What does the Roadster have? I know the Roadster can take advantage of 70A charging with its single on-board charger, so it must be rated higher, yeah?
At 40A do the Roadster and Model S charge at the same rate?
I don't think that's a standard acronym yet. It ought to be something like "ideal miles per charging hour" (IMPCH), but that's not a pretty acronym.Tesla has a chart showing input amperage and miles per hour of charge: http://www.teslamotors.com/sites/default/files/downloads/highpowerwallconnector.pdf
On a 50A circuit, they show the Model S with a single (or dual) onboard 10KW charger, charging at 31 miles per hour of range per hour of charge (do we have an abbreviation for that yet, such as "MPHRPHC"?)

When I made a trip to Clearwater FL for a fighter squadron reunion, the RV camp where I charged my Roadster en route registered 251vac.
What's with assuming 250V? That's just wacky. I've never seen more than a couple of volts over 240 under load.
OK, but what's a "mile"? The Roadster's ideal mile is based on the EPA rating, equating a nominal full pack at 55 kWh to 244 miles. In more practical terms, it's the amount of energy needed to drive the Roadster one mile at something between 55 and 60 mph on level freeway in moderate weather with no climate control. Is the Model S based on the new EPA rating? Or is it a Roadster equivalent?
In my experience, the Roadster gets about 36 ideal miles per hour of charging at 238V/40A.
?.....
I assume the Model S uses a little more energy per mile than the Roadster, although it's hard to do a straight comparison because the EPA testing cycles changed between when the Roadster and Model S went through their testing. If the charger efficiency is the same as the Roadster, the miles per hour of charging would be a little lower for Model S.
