Hello,
I am new to Tesla ownership and have an 11/16 P100D... I am having issues with the car charging on a brand new Gen 3 Home charger. The charger installation is proper and on a 60 amp breaker. The charger is setup correctly, proper size wires and everything has been double checked. For about the first week of using it everything worked great and it would charge at 48 amps and then shutoff at the preset level. After the first few days it started shutting down with an error after about a hour of charging (3 flashes for high heat). It has now been in use for just over 2 weeks and it is now at the point that it will not stay charging for more than a few minutes at a time without interrupting and needing to be reset. At that point if you either cycle the breaker of unplug and re-plug the car in, it starts charging again immediately. Nothing is hot anywhere in the circuit. Not the breaker, the panel, the car cable or plug, the charger, the wiring, nothing is hot. With things working, the circuit is always drawing between 47 and 51 amps at the breaker on both sides. The ground is also secure. Once again all of the wiring, breaker, charger and cable are brand new. There is also no reduced voltage anywhere on the panel supplying the charger. I have had meters on each part of the circuit with min-max recording and nothing changes when the charger shuts down. The only thing that is not new is the car which has 54k mi and charges fine on any supercharger it has been connected to (DC however). So it seems like I have a bad "new" wall charger or a bad charger in the car. Since the car plug does not get even warm I don't suspect the connection at the cars port and superchargers work fine going through the same port.
Anyone else having problems with a Gen 3 Wall Charger?
Thanks for any insight
