Tesla Charging Issue: Start Failed, Charging Already Requested

The error message “Start charging failed: Charging already requested” means that your Tesla is already in the process of charging. This can happen if you have multiple Teslas that are connected to the same charger, or if you have recently started a charging session and then stopped it.

To fix this error, you can try the following:

  • Check to see if another Tesla is already charging. If so, unplug that Tesla and try again.
  • Make sure that you have not recently started a charging session and then stopped it. If you have, wait a few minutes and try again.
  • Restart your Tesla. This will sometimes clear the error message.
  • If the error message persists, contact Tesla customer support for help.

Here are some other possible reasons why your Tesla might not be charging:

  • The charging cable is not plugged in properly.
  • The charging port is dirty or damaged.
  • There is a problem with the charger.
  • There is a problem with the electrical system.

If you have checked all of the above and your Tesla is still not charging, then you should contact Tesla customer support for help.

Here are some additional tips for troubleshooting charging problems with your Tesla:

  • Make sure that the charger is compatible with your Tesla.
  • Use a dedicated circuit for charging your Tesla.
  • Avoid using extension cords.
  • If you are charging at a public charger, make sure that the charger is turned on.
  • If you are charging at home, make sure that the breaker for the charger is turned on.

I hope this helps!
