Cruise control unavailable - Continue driving to allow cameras to calibrate

Tesla Manual: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer are unavailable because the cameras on your vehicle are not fully calibrated. Your vehicle must maneuver with great precision when features like Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer are active. Before these features can be used for the first time, the cameras must complete an initial self-calibration. Occasionally, one or more cameras can become uncalibrated.

How to fix it

Continue to your destination. Your vehicle is OK to drive. Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer will remain unavailable until camera calibration is complete. When calibration is complete, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer should be available. For your convenience, a calibration progress indicator is displayed on the touchscreen. Calibration typically completes after your vehicle has driven 20-25 miles (32-40 km), but the distance varies depending on road and environmental conditions. For example, driving on a straight road with highly visible lane markings helps the cameras calibrate quicker. If the alert persists and camera calibration has not completed after your vehicle has driven 100 miles (160 km) or more, or Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer remain unavailable despite successful camera calibration, schedule service at your earliest convenience. Your vehicle is OK to drive in the meantime.

Charge rate reduced - Charge port may be frozen - Try using Defrost Car button in Mobile App

Tesla Manual: The charge port latch is unable to secure the charge cable in the charge port inlet, and cold ambient temperature is detected. If the latch is not engaged, AC charging (for example, charging with a Mobile Connector or Wall Connector) will be limited to 16A and DC Fast Charging / Supercharging will be unavailable. The charge port light will pulse amber if this alert appears during AC charging and will be solid amber if this alert appears when attempting to DC Fast Charge / Supercharge. This alert is usually specific to external charging equipment and power sources and does not typically indicate an issue with your vehicle that can be resolved by scheduling service.

How to fix it

Try re-inserting the charge cable fully into the charge port inlet. If your vehicle begins charging and the charge port light pulses green, the charge cable may not have been fully inserted before. AC charging should no longer be limited, and DC Fast Charging / Supercharging should be available. If charging is still limited or the vehicle will not charge at all, make sure the charge port manual release has not been actuated. For more information on using the charge port manual release, see Manually Releasing Charge Cable. If charging is still limited or the vehicle will not charge at all, inspect the charge port inlet and the charge cable connector for any obstructions, such as debris, moisture, and/or foreign objects.

Rear tire tread depth low - Schedule service - Inspect tires for rotation/replacement

Tesla Manual: 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.

How to fix it

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. ​ 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: The difference in tire tread depth between any front and rear tire exceeds 1.5mm Your vehicle has been driven for more than 6,250 miles (10,000 km) since the last rotation​ Upon completion of tire inspection and any necessary tire service, update your vehicle’s tire configuration to optimize your vehicle settings to your tires and clear the alert for at least 6,250 miles. For more information, see Tire Care and Maintenance. It is not recommended that you rely on this alert instead of routine checks of tire tread depth. This alert should only be present when your vehicle estimates the tires are far beyond the recommended service interval. This alert is calibrated for Tesla tires and is not expected to work with tires of different types or sizes, including combinations of different tire brands or models.

Rear tire tread depth low - Schedule service - Inspect tires for rotation/replacement

Tesla Manual: 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.

How to fix it

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. ​ 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: The difference in tire tread depth between any front and rear tire exceeds 1.5mm Your vehicle has been driven for more than 6,250 miles (10,000 km) since the last rotation​ Upon completion of tire inspection and any necessary tire service, update your vehicle’s tire configuration to optimize your vehicle settings to your tires and clear the alert for at least 6,250 miles. For more information, see Inspecting and Maintaining Tires. It is not recommended that you rely on this alert instead of routine checks of tire tread depth. This alert should only be present when your vehicle estimates the tires are far beyond the recommended service interval. This alert is calibrated for Tesla tires and is not expected to work with tires of different types or sizes, including combinations of different tire brands or models. It may not display, or may display prematurely, on vehicles using tires not recommended by Tesla. For more information on recommended tires, see Wheel and Tire Specifications.

Assist for low brake performance activated - To stop, keep brake pedal firmly pressed

Tesla Manual: Hydraulic Fade Compensation is active. This brake assist function activates temporarily to make sure you have full braking capability in conditions where reduced braking performance is detected by your vehicle. 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.

How to fix it

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. 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.

Air pressure in tires very low PULL OVER SAFELY - Check for flat tire

Tesla Manual: This alert indicates that one or more of the tires on your vehicle is extremely low or flat. The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) has detected that the air pressure in one or more of your tires is significantly lower than the recommended cold tire pressure.

How to fix it

You should pull over carefully as soon as possible. In a safe location, check for a flat tire. You can request Tesla roadside assistance options (mobile tire, loaner wheel, tow) if required. See Contacting Tesla Roadside Assistance for more information. In a non-emergency situation, it is recommended that you visit a local tire shop for assistance or schedule service using your Tesla Mobile App. See Maintaining Tire Pressures for detailed information on where to find the recommended cold pressure (RCP) for your vehicle's tires, how to check tire pressures, and how to keep your tires properly inflated. The alert will clear once the TPMS has a consistent tire pressure measurement for each of your tires within 3 psi of the recommended cold pressure. The alert and Tire Pressure indicator light may still be present immediately after you have filled your tires to the recommended cold pressure, but both should clear once you have driven a short distance. You may need to drive over 15 mph (25 km/h) for at least 10 minutes for the Tire Pressure Monitoring System to measure and report your updated tire pressures.

Air pressure below recommendation for tires Check pressure and refill air as needed

Tesla Manual: 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. See Maintaining Tire Pressures for detailed information on where to find the recommended cold pressure (RCP) for your vehicle's tires, how to check tire pressures, and how to keep your 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.

How to fix it

Add air to maintain the recommended cold tire pressure. Although drops in tire pressure are expected in colder weather, the recommended cold tire pressure should be maintained at all times. The alert may clear as the vehicle is driven. This is because the tires will warm up and the tire pressure will increase. Even if the alert clears, the tires should still be refilled with air once they have cooled. The alert will clear once the Tire Pressure Monitoring System detects that each of your tires is inflated to the recommended cold pressure. The alert and Tire Pressure indicator light may still be present immediately after you have filled your tires to the recommended cold pressure, but both should clear once you have driven a short distance. You may need to drive over 15 mph (25 km/h) for at least 10 minutes for the Tire Pressure Monitoring System to measure and report your updated tire pressures. If you repeatedly see this alert for the same tire, have the tire inspected for a slow leak.

Unable to charge with Mobile Connector - Inadequate outlet grounding - Try another outlet

Tesla Manual: The Mobile Connector has detected that the electrical outlet has insufficient grounding, likely caused by an inadequate or missing ground connection. This does not indicate an issue with your Mobile Connector or vehicle, but instead points to an issue with the wall outlet / electrical installation the Mobile Connector is connected to.

How to fix it

Have the electrical installation inspected by an electrician. Your electrician should make sure there is proper grounding at your circuit breaker or power distribution box, and also make sure that appropriate connections are made to the outlet, before you attempt to plug in the Mobile Connector again. If you need to charge in the meantime, try charging using a different outlet, at another location, or with another type of charging station. You can also try charging your vehicle using a Tesla Supercharger or Destination Charging location, all of which can be located through the map on your vehicle's touchscreen display.

Unable to charge - Mobile Connector GFCI tripped - Unplug charge handle from charge port and retry

Tesla Manual: The vehicle cannot charge because the ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in the Mobile Connector has tripped. Like the GFCI in a wall outlet, this feature is designed to stop the flow of electricity when there is a problem. It has interrupted charging to protect your vehicle and the charging equipment. This could happen for many reasons. The problem could be in the charge cable, the charge handle, the charge port, or even an onboard vehicle component.

How to fix it

Inspect the charge port and the charge handle for pooled water or unusual levels of moisture. If you find excessive moisture, wait and let both the inside area of the charge port and the exposed portion of the charge handle dry sufficiently before trying again. Inspect the charge equipment for damage. If the cable is in any way damaged or deteriorated, do not use it. Try different charging equipment instead. If the cable is in good condition, try charging again with the same Mobile Connector. If the issue persists and prevents charging, try charging with different charging equipment. This alert is usually specific to external charging equipment and power sources and does not typically indicate an issue with your vehicle that can be resolved by scheduling service.

VCLEFT_a130 / VCREAR_a130 Critical issue detected PULL OVER SAFELY What this alert means: Your vehicle has detected a potential issue with its electrical system and/or steering system, and has initiated a controlled shutdown process intended to provide you with an opportunity to pull over at a safe location. This alert does not mean your vehicle has lost all electrical power or steering functionality, or that the steer-by-wire system is unavailable. This alert indicates a possible issue with one of the multiple redundant sensors and actuators designed to make sure the steer-by-wire system always remains available while driving, or with the electrical system's ability to provide power to the steer-by-wire system. Your vehicle's speed and power will be limited. Your vehicle will gradually lose all drive torque, and you must pull over. After you have pulled over and shifted into Park (P), you will have the option to drive again. Your vehicle will be limited to a very low speed for emergency operation, such as repositioning your vehicle before it is towed.

If you are driving when this alert is present, it is possible your vehicle may shut down unexpectedly. It is also possible that your vehicle will not restart once parked. Nonessential features may be unavailable, including seat heaters, cabin climate control, and in-vehicle entertainment. This is expected behavior intended to help your vehicle maintain adequate electrical power for essential functions, including the ability to operate headlights, windows and doors, hazard lights, and the front trunk (frunk). It is possible your vehicle may lose all electrical power. If this occurs, you can still use the manual door releases to exit the vehicle if necessary. For more information, see Opening Doors from the Interior.

Air pressure below recommendation for tires - Check pressure and refill air as needed

Tesla Manual: 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. See Maintaining Tire Pressures for detailed information on where to find the recommended cold pressure (RCP) for your vehicle's tires, how to check tire pressures, and how to keep your 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.

How to fix it

Add air to maintain the recommended cold tire pressure. Although drops in tire pressure are expected in colder weather, the recommended cold tire pressure should be maintained at all times. The alert may clear as the vehicle is driven. This is because the tires will warm up and the tire pressure will increase. Even if the alert clears, the tires should still be refilled with air once they have cooled. The alert will clear once the Tire Pressure Monitoring System detects that each of your tires is inflated to the recommended cold pressure. The alert and Tire Pressure indicator light may still be present immediately after you have filled your tires to the recommended cold pressure, but both should clear once you have driven a short distance. You may need to drive over 15 mph (25 km/h) for at least 10 minutes for the Tire Pressure Monitoring System to measure and report your updated tire pressures. If you repeatedly see this alert for the same tire, have the tire inspected for a slow leak. You can visit a local tire shop or schedule service using your Tesla Mobile App. For more information on tire pressure and inflation, see Tire Care and Maintenance.

Air pressure in tires very low - PULL OVER SAFELY - Check for flat tire

Tesla Manual: This alert indicates that one or more of the tires on your vehicle is extremely low or flat. The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) has detected that the air pressure in one or more of your tires is significantly lower than the recommended cold tire pressure.

How to fix it

You should pull over carefully as soon as possible. In a safe location, check for a flat tire. You can request Tesla roadside assistance options (mobile tire, loaner wheel, tow) if required. See Contacting Tesla Roadside Assistance for more information. In a non-emergency situation, it is recommended that you visit a local tire shop for assistance or schedule service using your Tesla Mobile App. See Maintaining Tire Pressures for detailed information on where to find the recommended cold pressure (RCP) for your vehicle's tires, how to check tire pressures, and how to keep your tires properly inflated. The alert should clear once the Tire Pressure Monitoring System has a consistent tire pressure measurement for each of your tires of at least 30 psi. The alert and Tire Pressure indicator light may still be present immediately after you have filled your tires to the recommended cold pressure, but both should clear once you have driven a short distance. You may need to drive over 15 mph (25 km/h) for at least 10 minutes for the Tire Pressure Monitoring System to measure and report your updated tire pressures.
