The Tesla Supercharger cooling fan whirred to life. The contactors clicked. The second indicator on our 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E tester went blue. For the first time, I was charging a non-Tesla EV on a Tesla charger. It felt seamless. Two minutes later, the session failed. Then it failed again.
After swapping to another stall, I got it to connect again. But a few minutes later, the car produced the same error: "Charging Station Fault: See Manual." The Tesla Model X charging without issue on our first stall suggested what we later learned was the truth: There had been a problem with the car's software, not the station itself.
