Does anyone know if the recent software update has affected charging reliability? I’ve experienced more failures since the update.
I thought it was just me! My Tesla struggles sometimes after updates. Maybe it’s all about compatibility issues with certain chargers until they fix the bugs.
Speaking of chargers, anyone else had issues with non-Tesla stations? I tried using one and my car just wouldn’t connect!
Same here! Compatibility seems to be a real problem. I avoid them if I can.
I think it’s important to remember that while Tesla has a vast network, it’s still expanding. Sometimes charging failures can happen due to high volume or maintenance.
True! I also suspect that some locations are just less reliable. A little research can go a long way.

I hear you! Finding the right charger during long trips can be stressful. A good plan can make all the difference. Who else has tips for long-distance travel?
Don’t forget to check charger apps before you travel! It’s saved me several times. Also, a little humor might be needed: Why did the Tesla get kicked out of the party? Because it couldn’t charge up the mood!
Haha, great joke, jillthompson! Honestly, if I had a dollar for every time I faced charging issues, I’d buy another Tesla just to avoid them!
While some troubleshooting tips help, it often feels like you just have to roll with the punches when charging on the road.
So true! Reflecting on my travel, every charger experience is unpredictable. It’s all part of the adventure, I guess!
I’ve been dealing with a ‘Start Charging Failed’ issue for weeks now. Tesla customer service was initially helpful, but I’m still facing the same problem. It’s frustrating!

I feel your pain! I experienced a similar problem last month. Tesla’s app was useful for diagnostics, but waiting for a callback took ages.

It’s good to hear that some have had positive experiences! For me, every time I call customer service, it feels like I’m talking to a robot. Anyone else feel that way?
Haha, yes! I called last week and didn’t get much help either. I mean, I love my Tesla, but the support can be hit or miss.
I did get a prompt response once when my car wouldn’t charge at all. They dispatched a technician within a day, which was surprising! Has anyone tried the chat function? It worked for me.

That’s impressive! But I wish they could provide that kind of service consistently. Sometimes, it feels like getting help is just pure luck.
I haven’t used the chat function yet! Is it really that effective? I need to get this charging issue sorted out ASAP.

Yes, it’s worth a try! Might be faster than calling. But remember not to expect miracles. Their support can be a mixed bag—it’s like a box of chocolates!
Exactly! Sometimes I wonder if they hire wizards for their tech team, but their customer service seems like a different realm!
