I've been using Tesla Gen 2 Wall Connector for more than 4 years now and in recent year or so it started to develop sporadic issues...
1. Sometimes current gets reduced to 24A and single yellow light blinks once in a while - according to the troubleshooting manual it is "Charging current is reduced due to high temperature detected in the Vehicle Connector"
2. Sometimes charging stops completely and Tesla port shows red logo. Inside the car I get a message that charging disabled due to high temperature in the handle
As far as I can tell handle stays cold and there are no actual temperature issues - at least on the surface.
This happens randomly - sometimes every day, sometimes every week, sometimes every month. No issues with AC or DC charging elsewhere.
Power cycling Wall Connector tends to resolve the issue for some time.
Anyone had this issue?
Is charger replacement the only solution?
Tesla support is not being helpful at all - "your charger is out of warranty, go away"
P.S. I always had a bit of voltage drop during charging - it goes from 240V down to 218V-220V but as far as I understand this should still be acceptable range and cannot affect temperature sensor in the handle
