Cool thx for the reply, I am aware of what your saying (now that you mention it) I experienced that with the mobile connector on my model Y, so I installed the wall connector and much better in terms of heat. thx again
Here is the perfect and cheap device to keep your charge cable off the ground and out of the way. This is from TRACTOR SUPPLY and costs a bit over $50 bucks. I originally zip tied the charge cable to the boom but in the fall I took the Wall Connector apart and disconnected the charge cable and ran it through the metal tube so now if I need it longer to reach the car or truck I can easily pull more cable through as well as pull it back to shorten it.

This is funny. I voted "no, never had a problem" yesterday. And, just now, I noticed my truck is charging slowly at the house. 24A instead of 48A.

Checked the service alerts, and I see:

I blame this thread for bringing it to my truck's attention. (20k VIN, beast)

Interesting that Tesla won’t even offer an extended service agreement in CT but does with other models. Seems they think they’d lose money a such an agreement(?) I don’t see an option in the app for it if it exists.
🤷 could be. There is no extended warranty for ct

I had intermittent power drops from PowerShare last outage. A couple days ago I got a notification through the app charging at home had stopped. It ended up resuming charging several hours later that day since I left it plugged in. Earliest my service center had was January 20th. 28K on the odometer.

Reply to poll.
I consider a failure ANY confirmed PCS issue that ultimately required replacement of the PCS module.

if failure occurred outside of warranty, please post how much you paid for replacement. It seems to vary quite a bit for some reason.
post vin range and year if you want.
The number of replies that have said yes so far is alarming.

Look at it this way, better to get it fixed now, under warranty, then later, out of pocket. :(

I was going to write the same thing!

Did they do anything different to improve this or did they just swap it out for the same part that may fail again in the near future?

If they didn't do anything different, I'm still concerned for those that had it replaced as well as those that didn't (yet).

I usually charge via 240 VAC @ 24A at home. Then, while charging, current goes to zero, and message appears on dash and App indicating a charging issue. I try to unplug and cannot, and notice charging LED near NACS connector is dead. I use emergency disco procedure in manual (easy). Book appointment with SC, and limp to the appointment with 15% SoC about 35 miles.

They replace charging circuit apparently, which works, but notice leak is sail so send to Tesla Collision for tear down to find root cause. They conclude roof leak near rear edge of roof and eventually conclude its a manufacturing defect and agree to replace entire roof under warranty. Two weeks later, job is complete and I cannot even tell if they did anything, but but roof tint is no longer there. They said my warranty on my roof is now upgraded to a lifetime warranty since Tesla Collision replace the roof glass and seals as long as I own my CT.

This occurred at around 42K miles, and now, I'm approaching 50K miles with no issues and am really pleased with how Tesla SC of Delray handling 100%. Plus they gave me a CT CB for 21 days while under repair.

Total Cost $0.00, plus now have lifetime warranty for repair/replacement for all work done at Tesla Collision.
I also use the Delray location, which is where we took delivery in March. Did you lose tint because you had tinted the glass yourself, or do you have a ‘25 with the new OEM factory tint? If so, I would ask for the correct glass. Florida sun and all that…

No warranty, that’s a house power supply problem, not a truck problem. The truck diagnosed his house electrical issue.

They better offer a extended warranty or this will be the biggest cost every 1-2 years, if they cant stop it from happening
