Regular charging using 120 or 240 can also be disabled remotely. I had a client that bought a J1772 to Tesla cord from me to charge the Tesla he just bought at an auction. He already had a J1772 EVSE and wanted to use that instead of buying an UMC. My cord wouldn't work on his Tesla and his J1772 EVSE was working fine, so naturally he assumed it was the cord. We talked about it, I sent him some tests to make, he did them and the cord was functioning as it was supposed to. He called Tesla and they finally figured out that the car had not be registered so charging, all charging, had been disabled. A few minutes after the Tesla phone call the car was charging fine.
