Need some expert opinions. We had a 2015 Model S which charged in our garage for 7 years using NEMA 14-50 and a Gen 1 mobile connector, never a problem. We just took delivery of a new Model S - of course including the Gen2 mobile connector. (Love the new S even more).
However, the Gen2 connector now faults pretty much no matter what i do. The error in the car says Mobile connector GFCI tripped. I was able to charge with it twice, but now not at all. I want to exchange it with Tesla but am expecting they will say i need to get an electrician to check our outlet. But the old car / charger combo had no issue ever. Is the Gen 2 charger more sensitive/overly sensitive? Should i try to come up with a gen 1 charger, or suck it up and have an electrician come out to test our ground?
Thanks in advance.
