I love my Model X, but I'm starting to grow tired of little issues that I never experienced with ICE vehicles in the fist year of ownership. Last night my app popped up a message that stated the charging was interrupted. I immediately went outside to find that the vehicle had stopped charging and showed "Charge Cable Fault" and "No wall Power" messages on the digital dash. I can't tell you the particular light sequence on the charge port or the HPWC, but red was prevalent. I unhooked the charge head and placed it back in the HPWC receptacle. I reset the wall charger and hooked it back up to the vehicle. The vehicle wouldn't get pass 60 amps and then dropped to 30. I reset again. The charging sequence got up to the normal 72 amps and I went in the house thinking everything was good. A few seconds later I heard a pop in the garage. I went out to find the HPWC was dead. I checked the breakers which seemed fine and got around to popping the cover on the HPWC to find that a terminal block had melted. This charger has been installed since January and was done by a Tesla approved electrician. I've always charged at 72 amps without issue with voltage typically being in the 235-240 range. Maybe I just got a unit that bit the dust early, but I have to be honest when I say I'm tired of issues like this. It's not the end of the world, but it surely does change the family routine this week with the kids as we look to utilize Superchargers until this is remedied.
