Tesla Mobile Charger 0/0 A but passing 244v.

[jfm0273327]

Making sure I am not missing something. Purchased a model S three days ago. Received a Tesla mobile charger today. Plugged it into my 240v plug on a 50amp breaker. Everything is showing green but 0/0 amps are pulling. 244 volts are flowing.

I will contact my electrician and Tesla support…but seeing if someone had a fix already. I plan to borrow a MC unit as well.

Huh. You should probably start following this other thread that seems to be about this same thing. Two other people in there also got new cars and have 240V outlets that just continually show 0/0 amps and won't charge, and Tesla service centers aren't doing very well figuring out what the problem is. I think one of the two cases did get solved from finding out that it was the adapter plug that was defective.

New 240v outlet pulling 0 amps

Hello, I had an electrician friend come today and install a new 240v outlet in my garage. I went with him to Home Depot to purchase the supplies. We purchased some 6-3 wire, a 50a outlet, and a 50a two-pole breaker. After everything was set up and he left, I plugged in my mobile charge cable...

Does the charger work on a 110v circuit? Does it work on another 240v circuit (if you have access to one for testing)?

***Resolved***
If your new mobile charger is showing 240 volts but 0/0a; then the issue is the mobile charge adapter plug more than likely. Thanks for pointing me towards the other threads @Rocky_H. I swapped my 14/50 adapter plug with a new one and it is working. Got one from the local Tesla service department. No returns necessary.

It worked in 110v and carried 12a. 240 volt adapter allowed no amps once the volts were flowing.

I saw your resolution. My idea was to at least isolate the problem away from your car, and to either the charger or the plug.
