Yesterday I stopped at the Jugiong NRMA fast charger. I plugged in and headed off for lunch.
A few minutes later I got a notification the charging had stopped.
Back at the car, an Err 50 was on the Tritium charger.
So I unplugged and plugged it back in, the NRMA charger looked like it was charging, but my Model 3 SR+ [2019] basically just sat their saying "waiting to charge".
I unplugged and plugged in again with the same thing happening.
I then reset the Tritium charger and after the 5 minute restart, tried to charge again. Same thing, car says "waiting to charge".
To add to this, it seemed the car was draining the battery VERY fast while the "waiting to charge" message was on the console. Something like 2% lost in 10 minutes.
I saw on PlugShare the last charge attempt at the Yass NRMA charger had the same problem, so I couldn't push on as I did not have enough charge to get to Goulburn.
OK, lunch time was officially spoiled, I need to go back to the Gundagai Superchargers to get enough charge to get to Goulburn. Roughly 60 minutes wasted.
Searching the TMC forums [see below], I see others have encountered this.
Anyone else experienced this?
Anyone got any hints as to what causes it and/or what work arounds there may be if it does happen?
btw, my SR+ is on version 2021.4.18.
There's apparently some ongoing glitch with the current software version and Tritium chargers glitching out & delivering barely above 0kW charge. I've had it happen to me at NRMA Mittagong (a few weeks ago) & Chargefox Shell Cove (on Sunday), and I've seen it happen to another Model 3 driver at NRMA Batemans Bay (a week ago).
I had this issue the NRMA charger at Berry recently. The charger said it was "charging" but sat at a rate of 0. However looking at the display in the car, it was actually DISCHARGING the car - quite rapidly. Probably lost 20km in just a few minutes.

What's going on at the Canberra Superchargers
Hi all, I'm planning an upcoming trip and was looking to recharge at the Canberra supercharger site. Looking at recent Plugshare checkins, most of the recent reports are saying they are only getting a 20-30kw charge rate. This seems to be occurring even when there's only 1 or 2 other vehicles...
