It sounds like a communication problem between the cars software and the Wall Charger, maybe due to the adapter, maybe not. I really doubt this could damage the battery, it's just AC 240V which is what the car is expecting and knows what to do with it.

You can find the instructions to do this by Googling the owner's manual for your model of Wall Connector. You might try setting it to a slightly lower value and see if your problem goes away. If you are there when the fault happens, just feel the charge plug/adapter and see if the thermocouple might have detected excessive heat (probably due to resistance between the plug and adapeter or adapter and the car's charge port).Īlso, there is a setting inside the Wall Connector to determine maximum charge amperage. If it gets too warm, the Wall Connector will sense that and shut off to prevent fire or melting. There is a thermocouple in the business end of the charge cable. I'm familiar with version II but I bet version III has many of the same features. Which version of the Tesla Wall Connector are you using? AFAIK, there are 3 versions. Obviously, you cannot live long term with this situation, as you need to trust the car will charge to your desired percentage. Do I need to charge my car with a wall charger or can I charge it with the regular electrical extension my daily commute would be around 15 miles.
I want to go with a cable that has 3 conductors + ground. 1 Hi, am new to Tesla, and I will get my model 3 this Friday. Distance from panel to site is approximately 110 feet. It also means that owners of non-Tesla EVs. Tesla Connectors should be enabled with a stable internet connection for software updates. The other thing I can think of is if you get the opportunity, test with the TeslaTap with another Wall Connector or a Destination Charger (some destination chargers are on 208V, so it is not an exact test). Ask Question Asked 1 year, 9 months ago Modified 1 month ago Viewed 14k times 1 I am in the process of installing a 240v Tesla wall connector on a 60 Amp breaker to draw max 48 amp. However, since Tesla has its own proprietary connector, that means Tesla owners need to use an adapter to use non-Tesla charging stations.

Unfortunately until Ford send an update that will allow dialing down the amps in the car and/or fixes the sensitivity issue it will not go away. Your testing with the Model 3, seems to point to the Mach-E being sensitive to something the Model 3 is not. When I charge the Model 3 it usually shows as 243 to 245 volts coming from the Tesla Wall Connector, so my Mach-E handles the slightly higher voltage with 48 amps and no charging faults so far But then, in a new home, why not two :-) And an outdoor rated 14-50 for outside parking. You can open the charge door with a little tap, you don't need the button on the handle. (But you pay more for the WC, so it's a wash in dollars). So far I have been successful charging the Mach-E using the TeslaTap using both scheduled charging and charging immediately. The Tesla will need an adapter, but that adapter is cheaper and lighter. The only question I have, is have you been waiting at least 30 seconds after attaching the TeslaTap to the Tesla Wall Connector before connecting the J1772 end to the Mach-E? I read this in the TeslaTap website to do this so I make sure I have been doing this every time.
