Model 3 charging adapter

[Tessielove4]

Hi
I have a 2022 model 3. I have no problem charging in the Tesla super charger , however , lately using my apartment’s charging station called Charge Point, I’ve noticed I only get about 15 miles in charging for 3 hours. I do know that this is a slow charger ,however ,when I got the car in October using the same charger , I was able to get 66 miles in for charging for 3 hours. Could this be that the adapter is not working properly? Again, no problems charging at the Tesla supercharger stations. Anybody else experienced this?

Welcome New Member,
Have you checked the contacts of your adapter? Is it an original Tesla adapter? If so, you should have it under warranty and have them replace it. Also, have you tried this same adapter at another (free) J-1772 type charger place?

The adapter that I got was from Tesla when I bought the car last October 2022. I will try to see if other places charge slow as well. Thank you

Also how long is the warranty for a new adapter ?

Note that a Supercharger delivers DC voltage, which bypasses the car's own internal charger. The ChargePoint station, if it requires this type of adapter (J1722):

provides AC voltage to the car; totally different circuit path used between the two. One of those paths can charge the car while the other doesn't. If your slow Level 2 (240VAC) charging problem persists at a different station (using the same J1772 adapter), then I'd suspect the adapter or the car.

Also how long is the warranty for a new adapter ?

Not sure, but it would probably fall under the 4 year bumper-to-bumper warranty. They are relatively cheap; $50 new at the Tesla Shop, sometimes a little bit cheaper from eBay (but used).
