Thank you.

Ok. I was trying to find someone who would get an idea what to do and discovered better threads after posting.

It will work fine. I literally just used one two days ago, on 2.5.0.

@macolhie likely misunderstood; Lucid won’t “support” this charger in that they cannot help you fix your Tesla charger if it is broken. That is a job for Tesla.

It absolutely supports any J1772 level 2 charger however, including Tesla. And it supports Tesla NACS wall chargers, with an adapter like TeslaTap.

I've just tried the second Tesla Wall charger and I am experiencing exactly the same problem. I doubt two Tesla Wall chargers broke at the same time. The vehicle is the most likely culprit.

The solution was dielectric grease. Despite everything being new and indoors, the connections needed some grease to work properly. Thank you for all the responses and ideas!

The solution came from maybe the last thread/group I posted to. It was dielectric grease, but many comments eliminated other options along the way. Apparently different people follow different threads/groups. It would be ideal if we could reference different threads in a single post.

I find that I need to insert the charger into the Lucid with a little more gusto than I need to with our BMW. My wife often doesn't give it quite enough force when plugging in the Lucid and it will appear to start charging but will give an error later. The fix is to unplug and replug it in with a little more force. This may be unique to my vehicle and home charger (ChargePoint)?

Curious... what exactly did you grease? The adapter to charger connection?

You can absolutely link to other threads like this: https://lucidowners.com/threads/in-home-charger.10414/

The thing we are trying to avoid is *precisely* what happened here. The discussion for your issue should have been maintained to a single thread, so someone else trying to find it can.

Normally, we’d merge two threads that were the same, but this was actually a different topic.

So in the future, please don’t copy and paste across threads. If you *must* link it, please link to it. But also keep in mind that most people read all threads (we have the stats), but won’t post on both. That’s why it seems you have gotten different responses; those would have all been posted to the first thread, but some people saw this one first.
