Charging with no power?

[Diana Anderson]

Anyone know what’s going on here? Away from home and checked in on the car. Started to charge but then seemed to stop but still showed charging.

I stopped charging on the app but then lost contact with it for 5 mins. Eventually came back and finished charging. Was concerned that the app was saying charging yet no power be registered.

Is this an app thing or car thing? Using a Tesla Gen 3 Wall Charger.

Does quick start-stop-start intermittent charging harm the battery at all in this scenario?

TIA.

No harm done. A charging session always starts at zero and gradually ramps up. It appears that your app lost connectivity during the initiation of the session, before it had ramped up. Perhaps you or your car is in an are with spotty cell service.
