Try enabling the Guest Network on the RBR. Give it a simple SSID name, say like RBR50-GuestNetwork and set the password to Password123. WPA2 and AES. Does it see this SSID name? If not, something Telsa will need to help out with. 

 

I presume all other wireless devices see the network name?

    Like many Internet of Things (IoT) devices, it appears that the Tesla device creates its own WiFi hot spot and the smartphone setting things up first connects to the Tesla and then tells the Tesla to connect to the local WiFi system.

    I'm assuming that when standing very close to the Tesla device, the smartphone detects both the Orbi WiFi signal and that TP-Link Extender WiFi signal?

      Thanks FURRYe38  and CrimpOn 

       

      I have already tried all the suggestions you gave me, and gone through those with Tesla as well but the charger would not see any of my SSIDs.

       

      HOWEVER - I downloaded the Firmware update from the link given by FURRYe38 and spent about an hour manually updating the router and satellites and now I have successfully connected to the TP-Link extender which I added. I can now control the charger from the Tesla app.
