New Model 3 Performance owner here. I had a Gen 3 Wall Connector installed by an electrician (on the Tesla recommended list). I'm getting a "3 red blinks" fault code about 20 seconds after charging starts. It reduces to 50% amperage when it faults out. I had the electrician back here to check his work and everything looks good and is torqued down properly. It's a 60 amp breaker and I believe they used 6 gauge wire. I know these Gen 3 units are pretty new, but has anybody else had a similar problem?

The manual notes are as follows:
Three (3) Red Blinks - High temperature detected; charging limited or disabled
Check the faceplate and cable handle for excessive warmth. Have an electrician remove the Wall Connector from the wirebox and verify that the conductors used are sized correctly and that the terminal block is torqued to specification.


I scheduled a mobile service appointment with for next week, but thought I would check for feedback on here too.
