Contact an electrician to inspect the building wiring connection to the Wall Connector. They should make sure that
all wires are properly connected and torqued according to the installation guide for the Wall Connector.
Wall Connector installation guides can be found here.

DI_a190
Rear tire tread depth low - Schedule service
Inspect tires for rotation/replacement
What this alert means:
NOTE: This alert does NOT indicate that there is a flat tire.
Your vehicle has detected that the rear tires have experienced more wear over time than the front tires, exceeding the recommended
difference.
What to do:
It is recommended that the tread depth on all tires be inspected. As your tires wear during normal driving, the rear tires generally wear more quickly than the front tires.
Tire rotation is important to balance tire wear evenly across all tires. 3When staggered tires (different front and rear
tire sizes) are installed, regularly rotating the front and rear tires between the left and right sides of your vehicle will
still make your tires wear more evenly and extend their life.
Failure to rotate tires as recommended poses a risk of hydroplaning and losing control of the vehicle on wet roads.
Failure to rotate tires also decreases the life of your tires, requiring premature replacement.
It is recommended that you schedule service via your Tesla Mobile App or with an independent service provider to
have your tires rotated when:

Continue to your destination. Your vehicle is OK to drive.
If this alert persists throughout subsequent drives, schedule service at your earliest convenience. Your vehicle is OK
to drive in the meantime.
