Tesla Motors Club
Hi friends, my new construction home was fitted with a NEMA 14-50 Outlet by a certified electrician about four months ago. Around the same time, I had purchased a charging cable from the Tesla website.
Fast forward to last night, when I walked in my garage and noticed a distinct burning smell, but I did not see any smoke. I immediately turned my attention to the charging cable connected to our model X, and saw that the smell was strongest there, and I also saw some grey discoloration on the outlet receptacle itself. I immediately killed the power in my breaker box, after which I disconnected the cable from the model X. Have a look at the photos. Any thoughts? I of course have an electrician coming out sometime to today.
