Error messages when charging a Tesla Model Y/3 can be frustrating, especially when everything appears to be connected correctly. A common error message that many Tesla-owners see is: "Charging plug not fully inserted". What is behind this and how can you fix the problem? In this article, you will find out the causes and solutions for this message.

Causes of the "Charging plug not fully inserted" error message

There are several reasons why this message may appear, even if the plug is properly inserted:

1. Dirt in the connection
   Dirt or deposits in the charging port or on the plug can impair the connection. Even small particles can prevent the plug from engaging perfectly, even though it appears to do so.

2. Adjustment problems with the charging pins
   Sometimes the pins on the charging port of the Model Y/3 have to be readjusted. In rare cases, it may be necessary to replace the entire charging port.

What can you do?

1. clean the charging port

If dirt is the reason for the error message, you can carefully clean the connection. Use a toothpick or a soft, dry cloth to clean the contact points. TipMake sure to disconnect the fuse of your charging station before cleaning to avoid accidents.

2. have the charging port adjusted

If cleaning does not help, it may be necessary to adjust the pins in the charging port. This is best carried out by a specialist. The Tesla Ranger Service can often do this on site without you having to visit a service center. Simply make an appointment via the Tesla app.

How do I make a service appointment?

To resolve the problem quickly, you can make an appointment in the Tesla app to book a service appointment:

1. Open the Tesla app and select "Service".
2. Describe the problem and, if possible, add photos.
3. Select a suitable time and location for the appointment - either at the Service Center or via the mobile Ranger service.

Precautions and tips to avoid the problem

1. Use a charging socket cover
   Charging socket covers help to protect the charging port from dirt and the weather. You can find these practical accessories in our Shop4Tesla.
