I think my Mobile Connector hates me!
My usual charging routine is the slowest one of all, with a regular 5-15 outlet in the garage (I charge at 12A).
It's a 2016 Model S and came with a Gen 1 mobile charger. Everything was fine up until a few weeks ago when the charger started acting up more and more often up to it doing this every single time now.
This is the scenario:
- I plug the charger in the wall, it does it's green light checks, green light stays on, I plug the other end in the car and it charges
- after charging is complete, the light on the Mobile Connector starts blinking red and the light ring on the car charge port turns red
- I unplug the car, but the light on the mobile connector keeps blinking red.
- it blinks slowly 5 times which according to the manual it means something wrong with the adapter. I plug it out, put it back in, still 5 x red. I plug it out put it back in 10 more times and eventually it does its checks and stays green.
This same cycle now repeats every single time. Once the car is done charging, the mobile connector goes crazy.
I did open a service request with tesla but no update on it yet and I'm wondering if anyone else noticed this pattern.
