My 2013 Model S has a broken deadfront on one of the charging pins. It now only allows charging at 16 amps (rather than 40 amps), and we live ~200 miles from the nearest service center.
I know with the M3 they could just replace them, but I haven't seen anything regarding the S. I don't want to completely replace the entire charge port (to the tune of about $900), and the deadfront looks like a piece of plastic that could be replaced. I've seen several other threads with this discussion, but the only "solution" I could find for the S was to buy a (used) charge port and replace the entire pin (which I am not a big fan of due to the HV).
Any experience or help would be greatly appreciated.
