What You May Notice

  • Battery state-of-charge readings jump erratically
  • Range estimate is unreliable or swings widely
  • Charging may stop at unexpected percentages

How to Diagnose and Resolve

  1. 1 Reboot the vehicle: hold brake + scroll wheels for 10 seconds
  2. 2 If alert clears, perform a full charge cycle to recalibrate the battery
  3. 3 Avoid relying on range estimates until confirmed accurate
  4. 4 If alert persists, schedule Tesla Service
  5. 5 Current sensor replacement is typically required โ€” this is a straightforward repair at Tesla Service Center
