Thanks for that tip! I’ll check for updates now. What’s the warranty like for chargers?

Most Tesla chargers come with a 4-year warranty. If you’re still covered, you can get support or a replacement directly from Tesla, which is ideal for persistent issues.
Has anyone ever had to deal with Tesla’s customer service? How was the experience?
I’ve contacted them a few times, and they were quite helpful. Just be prepared for a bit of wait time. Overall pretty satisfied with the support!
That’s good to hear! Any tips on what to say when I call them?
Start by explaining the issue clearly. Including what troubleshooting steps you’ve already tried can help speed up the process. Stay calm; they really want to help!
Sometimes I wonder if these chargers just have a mind of their own! Anyone ever feel that way?
For sure! I think they enjoy keeping us on our toes. Just remember, troubleshooting is part of owning a tech-filled vehicle. At least we can laugh about it!
I had a red light on my charger too! It turned out to be a loose connection. Just needed to tighten the plug a bit, and everything was fine. Don’t worry, it’s usually something simple!
Thanks for sharing that, Jennifer! I experienced the same issue last week. Tightening the connection worked for me as well. It’s surprising how a small thing can cause such a hassle!
If the red light persists, it might be worth checking the circuit breaker. I realized my breaker was tripped after a storm, and resetting it fixed my charger instantly.
Yup, I’ve also had issues after storms. It’s smart to check the breaker before calling for help. I learned that the hard way when I wasted an hour thinking my charger was broken!
Did you try unplugging the charger and plugging it back in? That worked wonders for me when I had a stubborn red light that just wouldn’t budge.

I haven’t tried that yet! I’ll give it a shot. It feels like I’ve tried everything else, so why not try this too?
I’ve seen a few people mention that the software might need an update. If you haven’t done that recently, it could fix the red light issue. Just check your Tesla app.

Yeah, software updates can be crucial! I once ignored mine and had issues until I updated. I felt a little silly, but now I check more regularly.
I’ve only had a red light once, and I panicked thinking my car was doomed. Turns out it was just a minor glitch, and a reset fixed it. Phew!

That’s relatable! I felt the same way during my first red light experience. It’s a nerve-wracking moment but often just a glitch.
A friend told me to keep an eye on the weather. If it’s too hot or cold, sometimes the charger will act up. It might be a temperature-related issue.
That’s interesting! I hadn’t considered the weather as a factor. I should definitely pay more attention to that next time!
