Tesla "charger" now shows red instead of green often

[rsilva]

i use the nema 10-50 electric plug under the kitchen electric stove connected to a cable I bought specially to charge the tesla and a longer 14-50 extension to the car. This worked fine for the first six month or so when I needed to charge at home. But now I have to unplug and reconnect several times before the "charger" goes to green and it starts charging.
Any ideas why? Thanks for any info

Likely failure somewhere along that adapter / extension cord chain.

Thanks your probably right. I ordered a replacement for one connection that I may have mistrested. I was thinking that the Tesla connector had somehow changed.and was more sensitive to the connection ground but not likely.
