I've been following tesla for years. There are people complaining of their cable getting stuck on the regular on reddit and other forums, so yes 'frequently'.

I've been following tesla for years. There are people complaining of their cable getting stuck on the regular on reddit and other forums, so yes 'frequently'.
I just did a google search, I have yet to find an i3 or etron that was stuck at a charging station overnight and required a tech to get it unlocked, but maybe I'm using the wrong term. Feel free to link to the stories?
Everything I've seen using CCS, "stuck" is because someone forgot to push the trigger twice to unlock both the car and charger side.
- cptskippy 5y agoTesla charge ports are latched onto by the car, so when they get stuck it's because the car won't let go. You can access a manual release from within the trunk but it is by no means easy, convenient, or well-known. That being said, I've had this happen exactly once 3 years ago. All the complaints I've seen are around the 2018 time frame which is when I had issues so I wonder if it was a software issue with the Model 3 that's since been resolved. > Everything I've seen using CCS, "stuck" is because someone forgot to push the trigger twice to unlock both the car and charger side. Trigger? With CCS there's usually a button which is just one side of a lever with a latch at the other end. It's purely mechanical and you have to hold it down to release.
