Tesla Motors Club
The stop charging button as well as the unlock charge port button are grayed out and do not work.
This leads to the very unpleasant (if not funny) situation that your Tesla is tied to the charging station and you are unable to drive away.
I know about the emergency release, but I am not usually inclined to tear the plug out of the socket while three times 16 A are flowing through it, thus causing sparks and burns inside the plug and socket and possibly side effects on the power electrics.
In the event, charging at an AC charger with a Type 2 socket in Germany, I could convince the charging station to stop charging, but not all charging stations allow that. I could also try to reduce the charge limit below the current level, so charging would finish, but this works only above 50%, because you cannot set your limit lower.
Anyway, all workarounds, useful as they may be, cannot divert from the simple fact that the Tesla is defective when it cannot be made to stop charging. Has anybody else had a similar experience?
