Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is currently investigating reports of overheating, terminal discoloration, and high-temperature lockout errors in the Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector. These potential safety and design defects have raised serious concerns among Tesla owners.
Reported Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector Problems
Tesla owners have reported several issues shortly after installation, including:
-
Overheating during regular charging
-
“3 red blink” high-temperature error messages
-
Discolored or scorched terminal blocks and wiring
-
Premature system lockouts during high-demand periods
Despite these issues, Tesla frequently attributes the problems to improper torque by installers and often recommends full unit replacements, costing approximately $475 plus labor, without addressing potential internal design flaws.
Possible Defects in Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector Design
Early investigations suggest that the Gen 3 Wall Connector may suffer from:
-
Undersized brass terminal blocks prone to overheating
-
Inadequate thermal sensors or placement
-
Lack of adequate warnings or guidance for installation torque requirements
These defects may result in:
-
Electrical fire risks
-
Charging interruptions or system failures
-
Costly replacements not covered under warranty
Legal Claims Under Consideration
If you’ve experienced these problems, you may be eligible to join a class action lawsuit or pursue individual claims. Legal theories under consideration include:
-
Defective design
-
Failure to warn
-
Breach of warranty
-
Unjust enrichment
Remedies may include:
-
Full reimbursement for defective wall connectors

Coverage of electrician labor costs
