I sent the electrician the pictures and he thought it was a spring failure and not an overheating issue. So let's hope this one last decades.

Thanks Sleeydoc, I did that a few times before torquing it to 45 LB IN for the #6 wire I used. I think I did that right.

Sleepdoc, I am heading to the store now to by a torque screwdriver.

I took the 60A Eaton breaker apart (only lasted 2.5 years). The left side is good and the right side is bad. I am not sure how a breaker works but I can't find any burn marks. Can anyone see how the right side failed?

All fixed! It was the breaker, the electrician gave me another one and I just installed it and it works fine now. The bad one had one side of the breaker not working. He said that it is pretty common for these breakers under a Tesla load to only last a few years, he is starting to replaces ones...

So when I take the breaker out I should see two contacts? Just test that I see 240V across those two contacts on the buss bar?

How do I run that test? I have not done that before.

OK I just disconnected the wires from the breaker and I get: L1 to L2 = 5.3V L1 to neutral = 2.5V L2 to neutral = 123V Seems like half the breaker is bad, Eaton has a lifetime warranty I think but I purchased through a electrical contractor so I not sure how that works. I will call them....

Goobers, good idea, I think before I try that I will disconnect the L1 and L2 wires from the 60A breaker and measure the voltage at the breaker with it disconnected to see if I get 240V instead of 61V. If I still get 61V then I know it is a breaker issue and I can try re-seating it. I have...

Here is a picture of wall connector after I installed the wall board behind it if that helps. You will see a spare wire (white) since I installed 6/3 wire instead of 6/2 two and half years ago, so I do have a spare line.

I took my wall connector off the unfinished wall in my garage and then installed wallboard. Then I reinstalled the wall connector the wall connector is not working. No lights on the front at all. When I took it off the wall I only turned off the breaker and removed the face-plate to the wall...

OK, I will try a few things and if it works, I will return and share how I fixed it.

OK sounds like it is something I shouldn't worry about. I wasn't worried about it, I was mostly curious why it just started to happen.

My schedule charging has been come inaccurate in the past couple of months. I have a Fremont Model Y LR 2023 with about 17k miles. I have a Gen 3 Wall Charger, last time I checked the software was 22.45.1 and I have it set to charge at 48A. My garage temp lately at night is in the 40's F. Here...

I didn't know that might be an option, my whole family would like to remove the app if possible.
