If these possible causes can be ruled out, then a condition with your vehicle itself may also be affecting AC charging.
This alert is often accompanied by other alerts that can help you identify and troubleshoot the condition. Start by
investigating any other displayed alerts that relate to charging.
Further troubleshooting tips based on equipment type:
• If using a Mobile Connector, try charging your vehicle with a different wall outlet.
◦ If your vehicle starts to charge and continues to charge as expected, the issue was likely with the original wall
outlet. It is recommended that you contact an electrician to inspect the building wiring connection to that
outlet.
◦ If your vehicle still does not start to charge, or does not continue to charge as expected, the issue may be with
the Mobile Connector or the electrical grid.
• If using a Wall Connector, try charging your vehicle with different charging equipment like a Mobile Connector
powered by a separate wall outlet.
◦ If your vehicle starts to charge and continues to charge as expected, the issue was likely with the Wall
Connector. Contact an electrician to inspect the building wiring connection to the Wall Connector. They should
make sure that all wires are properly connected and torqued according to the installation guide for the Wall
Connector.
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 different wall outlets.
• Try charging with multiple, different types of charging equipment at different locations.
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
details. Additional third-party charging stations may also be available in your area to help you to pinpoint the issue.

Charging equipment not recognized
Try again or try different equipment
The charge port is unable to detect whether a charge cable is inserted or the type of charge cable connected.
If this alert appears while a charge cable is connected, it should be determined whether the issue is caused by the
charging equipment or the vehicle. Try charging the vehicle using different external charging equipment (charge
cable, charging station, charging stall, etc.).
• If the vehicle begins charging, the issue was likely with the equipment.
• If the vehicle still does not charge, the issue may be with the vehicle.
If this alert appears while a charge cable is not connected or if the issue is suspected to be with the vehicle, inspect
the charge port inlet and the charge cable connector for any obstructions (use a flashlight as necessary). Debris,
moisture, and/or foreign objects present in the charge port inlet or the charge cable connector can prevent the
charge port from properly detecting charge cables.
It is recommended that any debris / foreign objects be removed and any moisture be allowed to dry. Afterward, try
re-inserting the cable into the charge port. Charging should now be possible.
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:
