What is the gauge of the wires going to the AC portion of the CCS connector? The input to the FCSP is 3 AWG, but the gauge of the wires going out to the truck appear to be smaller in pictures ive seen. Is that correct?

Almost certainly. The cable from charge station to truck is certified by UL as a complete assembly and is not subject to NEC wire gauge rules. It's also probably not made of a type of wire you could easily buy, and some of these assemblies even use tricks like using electrical insulation with high thermal conductivity so they can effectively use the signal and ground wires as heat sinks.

The pro charger is much heavier for 80 amps than std supplied ~ 50 amp plug in cable.
