I’ve started having problems recently with plugging in my Tesla wall charger to my MX. The latching mechanism tries and fails to engage the notch in the charger connector. I get an orange ring on the receptacle and a warning on my Apple Watch that the charging connector has failed to connect.
This started happening infrequently a couple of weeks ago and has progressed to the point where every time I try to charge, the connector fails to seat properly. I see no wear at all on the charging cable connector, and I’ve been using this wall charger for about four years. I can’t see anything wrong in the vehicle receptacle either. Sometimes if I wiggle the connector up and down in the receptacle, the latch will engage and the vehicle will charge. But that trick is working less and less frequently.
I just asked for mobile service, and the estimate is about $660. If anyone has a tip for solving my problem and avoiding the service call, I’d appreciate hearing it.
