I'd imagine Tesla is looking at exactly what happened very closely indeed.

I'd guess that didn't work in this case since the service tech had to take it apart.lock & unlock the car and it fixes it.

I charge with a J1772 and the adapter. I've noticed that when I disconnect the J1772, the locking mechanism holding the adapter in the charge port unlocks. Unless I pull out the adapter within a few seconds, the lock engages again and the adapter is stuck. Unlocking the doors doesn't release; I have to access the touchscreen to "open the charging port", which once again unlocks the adapter.
Having watched cinergy's (sp?) charging video, it would seem that having the j1772 turn off and then pulling out the plug without pushing the button that disconnects it from the adapter is the better way to go. Then you don't have to mess with removing the adapter by itself. You can just pull the plug off with the adapter still attached, then remove the adapter from the J1772 plug, which is easier, or so it would seem from the video.
Silicon grease might attract dirt. I was thinking to try what us sailors use to keep parts on our boats sliding: McLube Sailkote. It is a dry PTFE lubricant, which leaves only a microscopic dry and very slippery film.
