Colleagues - DO NOT GO THERE PLEASE - I suggest a set of good quality, effective wire strippers.

The cable in use clearly as you said has a blue conductor which is being used as a the L3 phase conductor - normally identified by gray colour.
I take at face value you have tidied up the exposed copper connections.
It would be best if you could mark up the blue conductor to identify it as...
The positive phase sequence is L1 Brown, L2 Black and L3 Gray. Is the blue colour you mentioned actually gray?

ElectricallyRandom: Where are we going? If we find that the RCBO holds with a charging current of 26A then there is some evidence that a factor in the problem is the magnitude of the current and its heating effect. I suspect - don't know for certain - but either the RCBO is faulty as others'...
For your interest, the heating effect of a 26A current is 66% of the heating effect of a 32A current since the heating effect of a current is proportional to the square of the current. So {26/32}exp2 = 0.66 x 100 = 66%
The RCBO contains an electro-thermal-mechanical trip which uses the...
ElectricallyRandom - good morning Sir.
Just wondering if you have resolved the problem and how? We like to learn from what advice was useful or otherwise.
Good evening. Well done for beating Australia in the Rugby.
To help you we need some more pictures and information on the overhead supply (ie old 4 wire or ABC), intake details, is supply PME?, earthing conductors, equipotential bonding in place and earth electrodes if they exist. Plus, what...
One needs to qualify which ‘speed of electricity’ is being discussed. There is more than one.

ElectricallyRandom: Questions, questions, questions!
1. Is you leccy supply from overhead cables?
2. Where are you along the line of poles between the transformer and your tap off?
3. In the voltage plot was it your EV starting to charge that caused the very significant voltage drops at...

ElectricallyRandom - Please would you look at the section 'Range Settings' in the link above and tell me what voltage window and measuring range have been selected by the four little switches on the voltage...
If the neutral and earth conductors have a potential difference between them where they enter your property, and this pd could depend on network neutral current then even in absence of line current through the rcd there may well be a neutral current flowing ‘forwards’ through the rcd and then...
The circuit breakers for your final circuits are all single pole which means when they are open only the line (brown) is disconnected from the rcd, the neutral (blue) remains connected. I suspect a neutral to earth fault but before jumping the gun you should call in a good electricians with the...
Thank you for the information. A quick analysis.
If charger input terminal voltage is 222 V as you measured and output is 32A delivering 7.6kW from the table of page 6 of manual and assumed power factor is 0.9 (the tesla Gen 3 includes some power factor correction technology) then apparent...
