yeah we're all going to be in a hard place here…
the NEMA 14-50 supply is not "unsafe" - it is simply sub-optimal for the task of being "mobile" and therefore "handled" during use.
it is however "sub-optimal" - I have little confidence that Porsche will replace these cables since they technically do not fall out of specification or safety parameters - but I still feel strongly Porsche should upgrade the cables because the optics here are terrible on a $3000 charger for a $200,000 EV…they have cheeped out on a very visible problem area and IMHO look foolish vs. the rest of the industry - and in particular Tesla.
