I think this is in response to Tesla's initial UMC, which had a nasty habit of melting the adapter plugs when pins got too hot, or when receptacles ended up with loose wires.Instructions with the Ford Mobile Charger indicate that the temperature, both internally and at the supply plug, is monitored and the output throttled if an over temp condition is detected. This causes the dreaded amber light, reduced output reported by quite a few people. I don’t find anything to indicate that voltage drop is monitored, but I found it interesting that the 14-50P temperature is.
I always recommend re-torquing the connections on receptacles and EVSE terminals after a month or two, when expansion / contraction cycles have taken place.
