(CP_a055)
Charging equipment communication lost
Check power source and charging equipment
Charging stopped because communication between the vehicle and the external charging
equipment was interrupted.
Confirm whether the external charging equipment is powered by looking for any status lights,
displays, or other indicators on the equipment.
If the equipment is not powered, try to restore the external charging equipment

For more information, see Stopping Charging on page 181.
For more information on charging, see Charging Instructions on page 179.
(CP_a057)
Charging equipment reports error
Check equipment for error code or message
Charging was interrupted because the external charging equipment has reported a fault that
prevents the vehicle from charging.
Inspect the external charging equipment and look for status lights, displays, or other status
indicators on the equipment. Consult the equipment owner

Continue to press the brake pedal as you normally would, and do not "pump" (repeatedly press and release) the pedal as this will interrupt the function.
This alert will clear when your vehicle comes to a stop or you are no longer pressing the brake pedal. It may still be displayed for up to 5 seconds afterward.
When this assist function activates, you may feel the brake pedal pull away from your foot and notice a strong increase in brake pressure. You may also hear a pumping sound coming from the
brake hydraulic unit at the front of the vehicle. This will usually last for a few seconds, depending
on road surface and vehicle speed. This is completely normal and does not indicate any issue
with your vehicle.
Reduced braking performance is usually temporary, and can occur for a number of reasons
including high brake temperatures after heavy brake use, or driving in extremely cold or wet
conditions. It can also indicate that your brake pads or rotors have worn to the point that
normal replacement is needed.
If you continue to experience reduced braking performance which does not improve over time, please contact Tesla service at your convenience for a brake inspection.
For more information, see Hydraulic Fade Compensation on page 67.
(PCS_a017)
Charging stopped - Power lost while charging
Check power source and charging equipment
Power has been lost during charging. This could result from the charging equipment losing
power from the source (for example, a wall outlet) or from an issue with the charging
equipment.
This alert is often accompanied by other alerts that can help you identify and troubleshoot the issue. Start by investigating any other displayed alerts that relate to charging issues.
Alternatively, you can check Mobile Connector or Wall Connector status lights to confirm power
to the device, and also refer to the product owner

(VCBATT_a402)
Electrical system backup power is unavailable
Vehicle will consume more energy while idle
The backup power source for the electrical system, the low voltage battery, is not available or
cannot provide the voltage required to support all vehicle features.
The primary source of electrical power, the high voltage battery system, will continue to support
vehicle functions, even when your vehicle is idle. For more information on the high voltage
battery, see
About the Battery on page 177.
You may notice that your vehicle consumes more energy than usual when you are not driving it, or that your vehicle displays a lower projected range than you would normally expect after
charging. This is normal vehicle behavior when this alert is present, and it will continue until the
backup power source is restored.
You may also notice that some nonessential features are not available. This is expected behavior
due to your vehicle preserving energy for essential functions.
It is recommended that you limit or avoid the use of any nonessential features. This can help
your vehicle maintain adequate electrical power for essential functions.
There is a chance that an issue affecting the primary power source could cause your vehicle to
shut down unexpectedly.
It is recommended that you schedule service at your earliest opportunity, so the backup power source for the electrical system can be restored.
(VCBATT_a478)
Low voltage battery service is required
Schedule service - Vehicle may not restart
The low voltage battery cannot provide the electrical support necessary to drive or continue driving.
If this alert is present while you are driving, your vehicle needs to come to a stop as soon as
possible. Pull over safely at your earliest opportunity.
It is possible your vehicle will shut down unexpectedly. It is also possible that your vehicle will
not restart after the current drive.
You may notice that some nonessential features are not available. This is expected behavior due
to your vehicle preserving energy for essential functions.
It is recommended that you eliminate or reduce your use of any nonessential features. This can
help your vehicle maintain adequate electrical power for essential functions other than driving,
until it can be serviced.
If this alert remains present, it is recommended that you schedule service immediately. Without
service, your vehicle may not drive, may shut down unexpectedly, or may not restart.
(VCBATT_a496)
Vehicle is preparing to shut down
PULL OVER SAFELY
The electrical system cannot provide adequate support to drive or continue driving. Your vehicle
is preparing to shut down to preserve energy for essential functions other than driving.
Troubleshooting Alerts
267Consumer Information

While your vehicle is OK to drive when this alert is present, there is a chance that an issue affecting the primary power source could cause your vehicle to shut down unexpectedly.
It is recommended that you schedule service at your earliest opportunity, so the backup power source for the electrical system can be restored.
(VCSEC_a221)
Air pressure below recommendation for tires
Check pressure and refill air as needed
This alert does NOT indicate that there is a flat tire.
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) has detected that the air pressure in one or more of your tires is at least 20% lower than the recommended cold tire pressure. This recommended
pressure should be displayed on the Tire and Loading information label.
See Maintaining Tire Pressures on page 188 for detailed information on how to keep the tires
properly inflated.
This alert may appear in cold weather because the air in your tires naturally contracts when it
becomes cold, decreasing tire pressures.
