Why Can't Tesla Charge?
2 Answers
Tesla charging may stop due to the following reasons: loose or poor connection between the charging gun and the vehicle body; accidental interference with the charging cable or gun by others during the charging process; power outage during charging leading to charger damage; or the vehicle automatically stopping charging once the battery is fully charged. Even when charging is incomplete, the Tesla can still be used, although its range will be relatively reduced. Tesla adopts a technology blockade strategy, leveraging its robust DC charging network and proprietary charging facilities to ensure more stable software adaptation and higher charging efficiency. Tesla is an American electric vehicle and energy company founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning in Silicon Valley, California. It primarily manufactures and sells electric vehicles, solar panels, and energy storage products, employing a unique "three-electric" (battery, motor, and electronic control) system in its electric technology. The company is headquartered in Palo Alto, Silicon Valley, California. Its main models include the Tesla Roadster, Tesla Model S, Tesla Model X, Tesla Model S P85D, and Tesla Model 3, among others. The best battery types for electric vehicles are ternary lithium batteries, fuel cells, and solid-state batteries. Among various power batteries, ternary lithium batteries stand out for their high energy density, which significantly enhances the endurance of electric vehicles.
Last time my cousin's Tesla couldn't charge, and he was running around in a panic. Later, we found out it was because the home garage was too cold—the battery goes into self-protection mode when temperatures drop below zero. I've also seen cases where snow accumulation on the charging gun caused poor contact. Actually, the common issues are just these few: the charging station not being activated (check if the green light is on), the vehicle's system setting a charging limit (just swipe the screen to adjust), or debris blocking the charging port (use a phone flashlight to check). If none of these are the problem, try restarting the charging program in the vehicle's system or test at a supercharger station to see if it's an issue with the home charger. Unstable line voltage can also trigger the protection mechanism, so installing a voltage monitor is recommended.
