Strange Color on Charge Port

[e4chan]

Has anyone seen this before? Should I be concerned?

 

[Shumdit]

I have never seen that, but the second one is quite pretty!

No warnings on the screen and charging normally?

It looks like two of the blue LEDs failed in the ring. The colors around the ring are created by mixing red, blue and green colors together in different intensities.

MichaelS has the right idea. It's a bit unlikely that two LEDs failed simultaneously, so it's probably either a bad connection on the circuit board, or the two LEDs shared a single driver chip and that failed.

It's indicating you're limited to 90kw charging. Sorry, couldn't resist.

It appears to be charging fine....but I am a little worried. We will see how it goes tomorrow. I receive no warnings.

Nothing to worry about. Just have Tesla replace it the next time your car is at the service center. I had a couple of my lights in the charge port ring fail a year ago and it didn't affect anything (it's purely cosmetic). They replaced the charge port and all's been well since.

Maybe it's Canadian?

Not getting the joke...

Can't be. The lights on the bottom don't form a maple leaf.

 

[e4chan]

Well...I can confirm that charging is find. Guess I will get it replaced the next time I go into the shop.

e4chan, before you get it fixed, a pic when the rest of the LEDs are glowing green - when charging or fully charged - will complete the set.

This thread prompted me to look at my charge port; it's developing a black line down the right side which actually looks much worse than this picture suggests:

I've got my second service coming up so will get it looked at.

Kudos to the Toronto East Service Center! The Service Manager sent me an e-mail to follow up on the post here. Where else would I get such service! Never expected it, but feel that I've been heard and assured that there is nothing to worry about and that it will be taken care of, when I call the service center .

Similar experience with Tampa. I noted it over here.

Car was in for 25k and Tesla replaced the charge port under warranty. All pretty again.

I have the same problem when I go to charge. Some of the charge port lights are red and the rest are blue. I talked to the Mt. Kisco service center and said not to worry about it. They will fix it the next time I need service.

 

[sgblank]

Just to pile on. Had the same problem. They replaced the charge port lights at my 12K service.

Had this for almost as long as I can remember:

Then it turned into this:

Shark, hope you are keeping this as is. Rather unique
