After inspecting the charge port, it seems the charge port has de-bonded from the panel. We’ll need to remove surrounding panels to fully expose the area, clean, prep and rebond the charge port.
This job is quite extensive and will keep you posted as it progresses.
I had this early in my ownership but once the guys at Menlo repositioned or replaced my antenna it's never happened again.fwiw, i also had a tire pressure monitor error warning, but those i have pretty much all the time. those little guys are the reliably least reliable part of my roadster experience.
i've had an exciting new failure that i've not heard of before. a week or so ago i noticed that my charge port would sag a bit when i plugged in the HPC cable for nightly charging.

My PEM just failed for the second time. First time under warranty. Second time not. Tesla Burlingame has told me that since they don't open up the PEM to repair it, I'll have to buy a brand new one for $10,000. Gas savings are nice, but cost of ownership on an out of warranty Roadster is horrendous.
TPMS has also failed now for the second time.
My concern is entrusting my Roadster to someone outside of Tesla who does not have access to full and complete service documentation from Tesla.Yes, they are complicated and yes, they are outside of the skill set of mechanics, but there is a trained workforce out there capable of this type of work and especially if Tesla provides access to service information.
NothingLast month I took my Roadster in for its first annual maintenance. The car was in great shape, needed only a new windshield wiper. Over the first year of its life a number of minor problems did occur however. Here is list of what I can remember from the first year / 6500 miles:
1) Passenger side door stopped opening, wiring problem corrected.
2) Rear reflectors both fell off the car.
3) Back up monitor stopped functioning, camera needed replacement
4) Water ingress above driver side door, needed re-sealing.
5) Spare charger broke, exchanged for new one
6) Squeeky noises from the suspension, not sure what was done to correct it.
Not TOO bad I guess, and so far other than a wiper blade and new tires installed last week, the cost of driving the car has been the cost of electricity to power it only. I'm happy I have two years left on the warranty, but a bit scared to imagine what might happen after that! What kinds of things have needed repair or replacement on your Roadster?
