My Tesla wall connector gen 3 keeps stopping

[apercele79]

The lights are on (so it does have power) but it shuts off after 2-3 seconds. Turns back on 3 seconds later, back to off. Does it non stop, on, off, on, off. It never actually charges one bit

Call Tesla and they will send you a new one.

Even though I bought it in July of 2020? Im thinking its warranty is expired by now

Yes. Mine is older than that. They have sent me 2 new ones over the years. Latest was just last month. They will connect to your charger remotely and determine if it needs to be replaced. As far as I can tell these have unofficial lifetime warranties.

Mine was somewhat like that when the power lugs worked loose. I tightened them up and the issue went away.

Thanks a lot, i have a feeling myself that mine is not broken either, just something silly like this issue….

Should i simply call them or physically go to one of their locations?

Hi @apercele79 ,

Just call the charging team...
Way back when there was a 4 year warranty on these things.
It never hurts to ask...

Good luck,

Shawn

I had that issue few years back. Tesla ended up replacing the with new unit and has been working fine since. You probably need a replacement. The workaround is to drop the current from 48A to say 32A or one level down. You will have to set your car to lower charing current or set the charger to that. But, that defeats the reason of having the faster charging.

Correct, i get 32A on the mobile charger as we speak. I kinda prefer the 48A. Thank you all for your advice. I hardly ever post but this issue has been bugging me terribly
