Does charging cable lock when car locks?
My Tesla would lock the charging cable when tjhe doors were locked. This prevented any unauthorized removal (or disappearance) of the cable. I tried connecting my portable level 2 charge cable and locked the car. It came right out! Am I doing something incorrectly or do I have to come up with a creative way to keep my $300 investment safe while it's charging?

Okay...dilemma is solved! My non-techie wife explained to me that as long as I was standing next to the charge port WITH THE KEY in my pocket...blah blah blah. Only my wife can cure 'stupid."

Im not so sure about that, I will have to check next time I charge. I think you can unlock it at any time by pusing the button. Ill have to check. I read somewhere that unplugging had become a problem in some places.

Mine does lock when I am not standing next to the car with the key in my pocket! Fortunately my NEMA 14-50 cable is one piece, so the worst that can happen is it gets unplugged from the charger box. Several times a year I park in a public lot for 7 days at a time. Some Tesla owners have had the NEMA 14-50 adapter disappear. Cable stays in the car by they lose the adapter that Tesla no longer includes with the car.
