tesla not charging
- Thread starter FS1EMAN
- Start date
Do you have Scheduled Charging enabled? If so, it won't start charging right away. What happens if you tap the option in the car or the app to start charging?
Are you trying to Supercharge (DC) or charge using AC charging equipment? If you are trying to use the Tesla Adapter for AC charging, it won't work according to the website:
Can not be used at all AC stations,
home / city AC chargers.

Talk to the vendor for your adapter. It may not work for AC charging.
This is the proper adapter for AC charging a North American Tesla car with other charging equipment.
SAE J1772 Charging Adapter
It provides a Type-1 (J1772) socket. You can buy a Type-2 to Type-1 cable for charging at a socketed charging station at home or in public. This type of cable is also used to charge an older Nissan Leaf in the UK.
J1772 to 62196-2 32A Electric Vehicle Charging Plugs / Cable Type 1 to Type 2 32A Premium EV Charging Cable
Another approach is to use a North American Mobile Connector and a 16A or 32A Commando plug adapter for the Gen2 Mobile Connector.
Gen 2 Mobile Connector Bundle
International EV Adapters – EVSE Adapters
You can probably buy the UK 3-pin plug adapter at a Tesla service center. They may also have the Commando plug adapters. I'm not sure about that.

The supercharging adapter is only for supercharging. If you are trying to connect to a home charger, you need the Type 2 to Type 1 adapter. See last line of caution on the Supercharger Adapter page: NEW! Tesla Supercharger Adapter – European to US – EVSE Adapters

HI I FOUND OUT THAT THE SUPERCHARGER IS ONLY A ADAPTOR .WILL NOT STOP IT CHARGING ANY HELP
@FS1EMAN You have been told this multiple times that that adapter will ONLY work with Supercharging. You are trying to use it with a 240V alternating current source. It will not work for that. Why are you still arguing about that?

You will need a charging cable adapter for charging a US Tesla from a Type 2 cable:
US Tesla to Type 2 Charging cable adapter - evChargeking
You can get this too (it might be available at some Tesla UK locations):
Corded Mobile Connector
Alternately, if you want to use the US Tesla Gen 2 MC (Mobile Connector), you can get these:
US NEMA 6-15 240 V 15 A to UK Type G 220 V - 250 V 13 A / universal adapter:
https://www.amazon.com/Universal-11...ords=nema+6-15p+adapter&qid=1602609065&sr=8-4
Select the NEMA 6-15 adapter here (be sure to set your car's charge current to 10 A maximum, or 13 A maximum * 0.8):
Gen 2 NEMA Adapters
Note that if the MC is a Gen 1, you will need to get a Gen 2. For that you might as well get the UK MC version.
Alternately, Tesla may be able to change your car's charge port to the UK standard.

Yeah, I think that it would've been cheaper to just change the charge port, especially when you consider the Supercharging adapter that he bought probably cost him close to $1000 already.
