Unable to charge
Check charging equipment
Charging was interrupted because the
external charging equipment has reported a
fault that prevents the vehicle from charging.
Inspect the external charging equipment and
look for status lights, displays, or other status
indicators on the equipment. Consult the
equipment owner’s manual for further
troubleshooting instructions.
Try charging the vehicle with different
charging equipment or at a different charging
station.
• If the vehicle starts to charge, the issue
was likely with the equipment.
• If the vehicle still does not charge, the
issue may be with the vehicle.
As explained above, 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 instead make sure:
• You have tried charging with different
charge equipment / at different stations.
• This alert has appeared during every
charging attempt.
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
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
using other external charging equipment,
refer to the manufacturer's provided
documentation for troubleshooting tips.

Regenerative braking
temporarily reduced
Will improve as vehicle is
driven
Regenerative braking performance has been
temporarily reduced to below 65% of its full
capacity. The exact reduction is indicated by
the dashed lines on the power meter:
While this alert is present, the deceleration
rate of the vehicle due to regenerative
braking will be reduced and more brake pedal
application will be required to slow the
vehicle (similar to what is needed in a gas-
powered, non-electric, vehicle).
This alert is expected under the following
conditions:
• Battery is near full charge:
◦
Regenerative braking is reduced when
the battery is at 95% charge or higher.
• Battery is cold:
◦
The battery may not be warm enough
for full regenerative braking
performance (possibly at the
beginning of a drive).
