Don,
Tesla Tap not working at one location but the other? - I wonder if you're not waiting long enough. IIRC, Doesn’t it say somewhere to first connect the Tesla connector to it? After 30 secs, then plug in the J-plug. I remember my Tesla Tap wouldn’t work as I didn’t wait the 30 secs. I hope this is the fix you need so you can charge at home in Reno.
Here's some other charging thoughts - Charging your Esse Esse Nine, As you have two places you wish to charge at, I see 3 possibilities:
[1] 120 adapter - get a spare for Reno.
[2] J-station, install one with a 14-50 or similar plug. It doesn’t have to be a monster station. You only need 3kw for max benefit.
[3] CCS station - Brandon is working on a viable solution.
Energica thread ‘Portable CCS Testers needed’ discusses this.
Also, Brandon highlights his progress on - Motorcycles and Misfits, Podcast 322 (What Would You Do?). Begin at mark 25:40.

For me, I’m seriously considering a small J-station as I only have the 120 adapter. Brandon’s CCS units also seem like a good choice - why charge at 1kw or 3kw when 6kw or above is possible at home. Lake County is almost completely void of charging infrastructure. If the 120vacunit failed, I’d be stuck.
I hope my random thoughts are helpful.
Two different Tesla Taps, same model, one for each location. Both ordered at the same time. Yes, the one in Auburn works fine. Same type of setup here in Reno which doesn't work. So my plan is to bring this Tesla Tap to Auburn and try them both there and see what happens.
I well know about the TeslaTap wait. I waited more than a minute each time. Sometimes more than ten minutes. I have used this setup many times before, and it normally takes around 30 seconds just like it says it should. But 30 seconds is longer than some people think. It's best to time it with a watch and then wait a few more seconds before letting the TeslaTap have a J1772 connected to it.
I already ordered a 120 VAC adapter for here. Slow charging is fine for here as it is only for when I want to leave here with a full charge, which is not often. I alrerady have the 120 VAC adapter that came with the bike left there in Auburn.
There are plenty of L2 and L3 chargers near all of my three houses. AT my house in Cold Springs Valley, I have a 240 VAC outlet and J1772 station, no Tesla Wall Station as I mainly only need to charge up my bikes there. My ss9 charged up there fine today on L2--no Tesla-Tap.
I will know more about what is going on in a couple of days when I go back to Auburn and have both TeslaTaps there.
I usually have no need to fast charge at home, so I see no need for CCS at my houses. On the road is where I want the fast charging, such as riding between here and Auburn.
