Why Do Tesla Owners Tap the Charger to the Taillight?

But that’s just an urban myth, TeslaToro reports. “Obviously, except for in the most unusual circumstances where something is interfering with the charging connection (ice, dirt, random object), there is no reason to tap the charging cable against the car,” the site adds.

You do tap the charge port to open it, and the charge port is close to the taillight, but that’s about all the good tapping will do.
