Tesla Motors Club

So, this morning I noticed my roadster was not charging. I assumed that it was because it automatically turned off when full.... Newbie error. I was wrong.

I tried to plug in today. Won't charge. Power to charger is fine as there is an LED in the wire from the outlet to the charger plug that glows yellow when plugged in.

I looked at the plug and the Tesla plug green LED light is not on. I pressed reset and click, but immediate green light off. Green LED light won't stay on.

I unplugged the Tesla from the Roadster side and re-tried the wall socket side... No go.

I noticed the plug was warm, but not hot.

I placed the plug in the freezer, and then retried when the plug was cold... No good. The reset button will not remain engaged. There is a click, a flash of green, then back to off/black.

I opened the plug and noticed there are only 3 wires corresponding to 3 A/C wires. Two hot wires and one green ground.

So can I replace the Tesla 110 volt end of the plug with an aftermarket 3 prong 110 Volt plug from say...Home Despot?

Has anyone else had this issue?

Real time issue. I hope I can get some quick responses.

Thanks in advance,
