As this alert is usually specific to external charging equipment and power sources, and it does
not typically indicate an issue with your vehicle that can be resolved by scheduling service, it is
recommended that you:
• Try charging with dierent charge equipment / at dierent stations.
You can also try charging your vehicle using a Tesla Supercharger or Destination Charging
location, all of which can be located through the map on your vehicle's touchscreen display. See
Maps and Navigation on page 146 for more details. Additional third-party charging stations may
also be available in your area to help you to pinpoint the issue.
For more information on troubleshooting Mobile Connector or Wall Connector status lights,
refer to the product's Owner's Manual at Charging & Adapter Product Guides. If using other
external charging equipment, refer to the manufacturer's provided documentation for
troubleshooting tips.
