Unable to charge with Mobile Connector
Voltage too low / Try a different wall outlet
The vehicle cannot charge, or charging is interrupted, because either the Mobile Connector:
• Does not detect enough supply voltage from the wall outlet.
OR
• Detects an unexpected drop in supply voltage from the wall outlet.
Try charging the vehicle with a different wall outlet.
If the vehicle starts to charge, 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 the vehicle still does not charge when you try a different wall outlet, try charging at a different
location.
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 different charging equipment.
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 164
also be available in your area to help you to pinpoint the issue.

Unable to charge - Wall plug temperature high
Wall outlet and wiring inspection recommended
High temperature detected by Mobile Connector alerts indicate the outlet used to charge is
becoming too warm, so charging has stopped to protect the outlet.
This is not typically an issue with your vehicle or your Mobile Connector, but rather an issue with
the outlet. A warm outlet may be caused by a plug that is not fully inserted, a loose building
wiring connection to the outlet, or an outlet that is beginning to wear out.
To regain normal charge operation, make sure your adapter is fully plugged into the outlet. If
charging speed does not return to normal, contact an electrician to inspect the outlet and
building wiring connections to the outlet and complete any repairs needed.
If the outlet is worn, it should be replaced with a high-quality outlet. Consider upgrading to a
Tesla Wall Connector for greater convenience and highest charging speed.
