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.
