Bit the bullet and had HPWC Gen2 installed this morning
Now I can charge fine.
Electrician is one of Tesla’s recommended installers here in SW Florida so they said will submit it as a warranty replacement (I had to pay for the new HPWC).
So Tesla paid for the installer, but not the WC? They did the opposite for me, Gave me a new WC for free, but could not cover the installation. I said, "No problem, I can install it myself" It was actually much easier to install the new design, than the original. So I am golden from my own garage. That however does not address the thousands of destination chargers in the wild. Even the local Mall Tesla store is equipped with the old model. Now they are all just shut off.
