  2. Lectron Vortex Plug Available on Amazon Vine

    "So he took a dremel grinding tool to a slight rise of the front of the inside latching part of the NACS disconnect button that seemed to fix the problem" I did that and it also seemed to resolve the problem for me, but I still keep the clamp handy just in case.

  6. Lectron Vortex Plug Available on Amazon Vine

    I doubt that is the issue. Both mine stuck after only a brief charge to test the unit. Haven’t yet tried it since leaving the clamp on, but at least I feel I can get it off with the clamp. Again, maybe stronger hands would help

    How do you get the AC to stay on. Mine seems to shut off after a while, even if I don’t turn it off.
  8. Lectron Vortex Plug Available on Amazon Vine

    I have the Lectron. First one I had to return because the release from the Tesla plug was so stiff, we almost couldn’t remove it. Replacement is somewhat better but still very difficult. Admittedly at age 86, I don’t have great hand strength. I’m trying to work it in with a clamp and it seems a...

    Received my replacement Lectron. Still very hard to release the Tesla cable but better. Had to use a clamp, but at age 86, I don’t have great hand strength. Hopefully it will loosen. Better than nothing!

  14. Best adapter for Tesla super charger

    Still no replacement sent for my defective Lectron adapter in spite of their indication that a new one would be sent out. Quite disappointing. I was hoping Lectron would step up to the plate. Now regretting I didn't go with A2Z

    Received reply from Lectron with return shipping label. Will return it in the AM hoping for a quick replacement. Other than the latch release, it is sturdy and seems to work well. Keeping my fingers crossed after waiting so long.

    first use with new Lectron adapter - the news is not too good. I just received my Vortex plug supercharger to CCS1 adapter. On its first use, we were successfully able to charge the vehicle. However, after charging, we were virtually unable to unlock the charging cable by pressing the NACS...

    Lectron coming tomorrow. Delay in shipping by USPS. (what do you expect). Latch defect supposed to be corrected but even if not, better than nothing. I notice here that everyone goes for A2Z whereas on other sites, Lectron is often chosen. To me, 6 of 1, 1/2 dozen of the other.
