Have you ever experienced your Tesla mobile connector only charging at half the speed and displaying an overheating message on the screen? If so, you’re not alone. Many Tesla owners have encountered this issue, and the solution may be simpler than you think.
In a recent blog post, a Tesla enthusiast shared a common fix that has worked for them time and time again. The problem often lies in the adapter side of the mobile connector not being flush with the base unit. This slight misalignment can cause the charging speed to be derated, resulting in slower charging times and frustration for the owner.
The fix is straightforward – simply unplug the mobile connector, ensure the adapter side is completely flush with the base unit, and then plug it back in securely. This small adjustment can make a big difference in the charging performance of your Tesla.
But before you attempt this fix, it’s important to follow safety precautions. Make sure the mobile connector is unplugged from the power source and handle it with care to avoid any potential risks. Once you’ve made the adjustment and reconnected the mobile connector, you should see the charging speed return to normal.
It’s worth noting that this issue may occur every few months, so it’s a good idea to check and readjust the adapter side periodically to prevent any future charging problems. By staying proactive and addressing the issue before it derates your power, you can ensure that your Tesla is always ready to go when you need it.
