Hey guys - sharing this in case anyone else runs into this error...
Was in the car driving up to my in-laws when the car threw the above error. Screen said charging maybe unavailable.
Because my drive was going to be too long round trip without charging we stopped at a SC to see if the car would charge and of course it didn’t. We made the decision to turn around and head home before we would need a tow. En route I called Tesla roadside and they saw the error as well and said my only option was a tow.
Once I got home, I tried to troubleshoot the issue myself and what I found was that there are 3 bolts holding the charging receptacle on the car. One bolt was completely detached, and the other 2 were loose. I did notice that the charging port didn’t feel right the last couple of weeks. Once I tightened everything up, the car is now charging again.
I am happy that I was a bale to avoid being towed or driving to the service center with minimal battery.
I took a couple of pictures hoping they show what I had to do.
