Near disaster, but is it charger(s) or car? (UPDATE: it's the car)

Well, not great news. Haven't fully diagnosed yet (since I've only tried the five cables at the Burlington, MA location), but:

Also got INTERNAL_VEHICLE_CHARGING_ERROR and TOWER_STOPPED_CHARGER.
This looks very similar to issues the first Polestar 2 were facing in Europe durning press test drives. Nothing was ever reported officially but it looked like issues with the connectors of charge plug. The "Control Pilot" (CP) contact was loosely contacted only, so the charging communication between car and Charge station never started at all or were interrupted while charging as the heavy connector plug lost contact by bending the connector pins after some seconds/minutes.

I have no links to share for more information, sorry.
