    Multiple breakers tripping when I charge

    Mine did the same thing. It is causing my Eaton AFCI breakers to give a six flash code when I turn the breaker back on that tripped; that code indicates self test error. It stopped happening for over a year, but now I have one circuit tripping again. I’m going to try changing that breaker and...

    Wall Charger Tripping AFCI's on Other Circuits

    I tried replacing two combination breakers; one with an arc fault only breaker, and the other with a ground fault only breaker. These did not trip.

    Wall Charger Tripping AFCI's on Other Circuits

    Wilks23, Tesla suggested that I hire an electrician approved by them and have the electrician call them when he or she inspected the installation.. I know that my service is corrected correctly, and am hesitant to pay an electrician to go through the runaround with Tesla. I have been able to...

    I'm going to try another 100 amp breaker and ferrules on the connections this afternoon. Only other options that I know are eliminating the AFCI's or returning the Model 3 before the seven day return period is complete. If other people are charging without problems and have AFCI's in their...

    Wall Charger Tripping AFCI's on Other Circuits

    I purchased a wall charger when I got on the reservation list and installed it last week when I ordered my Model 3. I have it on a 100 amp 240V dedicated breaker. I metered open circuit between L1 and L2, and from L1 and L2 to ground. The ground meters short to the ground bar. A short while...
