Plugged in the FCB using my NEMA 14-50 connection at 8PM (off peak).

FCB started charging from 50% and the phone app was showing charging.
It completed its charge to 81% as shown by the FCB display below.

What does the 2KW on the display mean? see photo.
Understand that it charged +38KWh
What is 8/32 understand the 32 is the amps what is 8? Is it 8K ?

Note: Phone app had stopped sometime during the night showing about half done?
The phone app was completely nonresponsive and did not show the charge was complete.


When I went to the FCB the plugged in 240VAC LED was off.
Looked like the FCB had completely went to sleep and was completely dark.
Truck and phone app was showing nothing about charge until I opened the FCB door at 4:44am.
Then the phone app display finally updated showed charging complete.
The 240vac plug in to the FCB LED light now was showing green (charge complete).

Any thoughts about why the Phone app was unresponsive about halfway thru the charge until the FCB was woke up?
And why the 240vac plugged in had no LED on until the FCB was woke up?


Another issue: Since the FCB update the android phone app does not have a “charge stats” selection?
Removed and re-installed Tesla app.
Power cycled the FCB.
Still no phone app “charge stats”.

2kW is current power draw: 8A * 243V =1.945kW
8A is the current current

App gets data from the truck, so truck needs to be awake to update (or app is being weird). When truck sleeps, it turns off charge port indicator LED.

thanks, 8A does not make sense? My amp meter says is drawing 32.8A
Unless that was somehow the last current draw? 8a draw would take a lot longer to go from 50% to 81% than it did hi hi

Ok on app getting data from truck. Makes sense. didn't know that the truck would sleep when plugged into the 240Vac.

It's 32A when actively charging, it's 8A (or other lower value) when charging is completed and it's just running climate control and such. Your photo is with "Charging Completed"
