We have a 2014 Model S we purchased from a friend two years ago that charges from a 240v, 50 amp 14-50 NEMA receptacle using the mobile charger that came with the vehicle. Recently, we have had intermittent charging issues. It charges perfectly at a supercharger but not using the 240V receptacle OR the 120V wall outlet. A white light before plugging it in but then no blue light or green light at the charging port. Tesla Roadside service came out and plugged in the charger and it worked! But, as a precaution, the tech replaced the Trident harness. Worked fine for a few days then same issue. My wife took the car and mobile charger to the Tesla Service Center where they tested the vehicle (charged fine), tested the charging cable by plugging it into a 240V receptacle and it worked. They stated it’s not the car or cable but our house.
Had the electrician that installed the receptacle two years ago come out and check it and everything tested perfectly fine.
So I’m leaning toward replacing the Mobil charging cable for $270.00 (in addition to the $280.00 paid for the trident harness) but was wondering if there is a known issue with the mobile charging cable. Still have a green light showing it’s getting power but the car states “No power to the charging cable”.
