I can certainly believe this, based on my own experience with the UMC 14-50 adapter. If I charge at 40 amps, both the adapter and the cable between it and the UMC heat up considerably. Since I don't actually need 40 amps when charging overnight, I dialed back to 32 amps and now it barely even gets warm.
If Tesla felt the 14-50 adapter was not safe at 40A, wouldn't they issue another replacement program as they did the first time around? It seems a little strange that they would leave tens of thousands of 14-50 adapters out there which they consider to be unsafe. I don't believe it.
