Tesla Charging Station Paused

[alconcolaroja09]

I have attempted to charge my F150 lightning at a Tesla charging station three or four times. In each case I get the same message "cgarging station paused". The dealer is unable to tell my why or what I can do to charge at a Tesla charger. I would appreciate any help to get me going.

Have you tried another station?

I had a similar message pop up the first time I tried at a supercharger as well. Ended up that I didn't fully plug in the adapter to the charge port because the cable was too dang short! Pulled up slightly, nearly kissing the bollard, and plugged in again with no issues.

Could also be that you're at a V2 supercharger? Never tried going to a V2 myself but just spitballing.

Which adapter are you using and specifically, what Supercharger were you using (name of location)?

Are you using the Tesla app?

Is the charger compatible? The older ones are not.

Do you have everything plugged in securely? Some adapters can be quite stiff to insert fully.

alconcolaroja09 you aren't really providing enough information:

A) is this a Tesla "NACS Partner" Supercharger location that actually accepts other EVs?
(only the Tesla APP can tell you this)

B) how are you ACTIVATING the Supercharger unit:
the Ford Pass APP? The Ford onscreen Charge App? the Tesla App?

I had issues at first when trying to charge at Tesla stations. Mine was a different error message though. I had to deactivate and then reactivate Blue Oval on my Lightning. Worked like a charm after that.

Dealers are useless, better to call the charging station customer service, who will ask the appropriate sequence of triage questions to solve your situation.
