1. What does CC_f041 mean?

Tesla alert CC_f041 means the Wall Connector detected high temperature at its building connection and reduced charging to protect the wiring and Wall Connector. The outlet or Wall Connector wiring must be checked.

2. Technical explanation

Verified Tesla owner-manual material filed with NHTSA states that a high-temperature detection by the Wall Connector indicates that the building connection to the Wall Connector is becoming too warm. Charging is slowed to protect the wiring and Wall Connector. The supplied evidence does not establish a fault in the vehicle itself.

3. What system is affected?

AC charging equipment: the building connection to the Tesla Wall Connector, including the outlet or Wall Connector wiring.

4. How serious is this code?

The database severity is unknown. However, verified information confirms that charging has been reduced because a high temperature was detected at the Wall Connector building connection.
