I did a test last night when I plugged in. When the car is charging, green light is pulsating, you can press either the button on the Tesla cable or press down on the latch of the TeslaTap adapter then wait a few seconds and the light around the charge port will turn white. You can then remove the cable. There is no real reason to use the Tesla button so I will just press the TeslaTap lever, wait a few seconds, and pull out the cable and adapter. Thanks for the help with this.
When pressing the TeslaTap latch do you need to press and hold it until the light stops blinking?

If my Rivian is charging, I press the "Stop Charging" button on the app or in the car.
I think you only need to stop charging before disconnecting if you are on a level 3 direct current charger.

If you press the latch down, but not pull on the cable, the lights around the charge port turn from green to white. You can then remove the cable.
