I've been charging my Lightning since last February, and as recently as this past weekend, with a Tesla Gen2 portable charger plus an off-brand 80A "Tesla Tap" without a problem. When I hooked it up last night I received an error in FordPass telling me that the truck had stopped charging shortly after plugging in. In reviewing the Tesla troubleshooting guide, it appears that the error (indicated by 7 flashes of the red LED) is "Software error or mismatch" with a resolution to update the vehicle's software, which isn't exactly practical when you don't own a Tesla. I did receive OTA 6.5.0 recently.... is it possible that it's messing with my charging setup? I don't have access to a Tesla to check to see if the charger works on one so I'm guessing between the charger, the tap, and the truck itself. Have another tap coming as a demo unit so I can try that once it arrives, but has anyone else experienced this issue with the Tesla charger?
