Gen 3 Charger Web Interface Issue
- Thread starter jonboyTMY
- Start date
You need to power cycle it (use the breaker in the panel), then for a few minutes it will act as a WiFi access point. Connect to that on your phone, same way as it was initially setup.
I was able to get the charger to start broadcasting the SSID again by holding down the button on the charger plug for 5 seconds.

Same. The green lights on the connector will all light up once it's ready for you to connect.
So, it's now mid-July and the wifi interface is still broken. They can't possibly convince me that failing to load the live voltage and power stats is intended behavior. The issue is, they want to lock out the ability to change the circuit breaker rating unless you are on commissioning wifi and whatever intern they had try and make the web interface dynamic depending on which network it hosts on screwed it up and they haven't fixed it in more than half a year.
The unit also can't connect to the wifi if you have WPA3 enabled, even if your router is set to use both WPA2 and WPA3. A $5 smart outlet can manage this, but not a $500 wall connector from a company that produces leading-edge tech in their field.
If they spent a man-week of resources on this they could have a much better product and this thread would have a happy ending. They probably can't internally agree on what the desired behavior of the non-commissioning web interface should be or are killing that interface in favor of app integration and so have tabled it and forgotten it.

So much missed opportunity w/ the web interface, hoping it gets some love at some point in the future. In the meantime, it does flawlessly charge my car at least.

Web interface is definitely crap, I don’t know what difference changing a breaker rating would make whether on LAN or it’s own SSID. Do they really think my house guests who I share my WiFi password with, will figure out my wall charger’s IP, and decrease the breaker rating so my car charges slower?

Am I reading this screen right, an owner can now block non Tesla’s from using say Destination Chargers?

I'm able to connect to my WiFi (after configuring the charger to connect) using the Wall Monitor app on my iPhone. I can't configure my wall charger, but I can observe the status and it will track charging. If you are willing to pay $9, it will keep charts for you too.
I have to say, I'm disappointed that this functionality doesn't already exist in the Tesla app. I found commissioning the Wall Charger to be clunky and I couldn't register it with my guest WiFi network and that may be related to WPA2/WPA3.
The charger works great now... it was just a PITA to setup.

I am new here and I just had the Tesla gen 3 wall connector installed two days ago. I was getting the spinning wheel. After troubleshooting (cutting the power at the circuit breaker, trying to use chrome…) I decided to forget the wall connector’s network in my iOS Wi-Fi settings. I then reconnected to the Wall Connectors Wi-Fi and it actually worked!! It also seemed to have trouble connecting to the 5 ghz frequency Wi-Fi signal, so I connected it to the 2.4ghz signal. This resolved the issue. Sounds like there maybe several solutions, I hope this helps someone!
