Frozen Supercharger connector is not a clickbait. It's a reality of -9F over 3-day weekend.

At some stations snow drift would be up to the charger so that cable may accidentally fall into the snow when putting it back.

I can see how such connector would be then put upright and the moisture would end up in the mating holes.

Also, waiting in the line at the charger (some waits were over 1hr) would likely cool the battery, unless driver would manually keep the battery conditioning on, which eats the charge too!

Then it goes to slow charge due to cold battery. Which increases the wait time to the others in the line...

Dismissing these issues on personal experience does little to improving the infrastructure and charger design.

There was a case where they hadn’t properly desulpherized gas down south so the fuel contained an acid that damaged the fuel gauge so the gauge would always read “full” and you’d drive till you ran out of gas.

There was another case where gas got contaminated with water in NJ which led to the strange spectacle of people noticing a lot of broken down cars as they approached the gas station, then they drove a block and broke down
