In reality, the maximum amps any wire can sustain is literally, “as many amps as you like until the insulation starts melting.” I have used this 105°C-rated 14 AWG 50’ Terrabloom cord to charge at 24 AMPS continuous overnight in a cool climate: https://amzn.to/3VljCl8 Do what you like but the...

For those searching in the future, you can calculate the extension cord size in AWG for charging using this web app: https://www.inchcalculator.com/wire-size-calculator/ For extension cord, you double the wire length (because 150x2 or 300 feet in the OPs case) and set the acceptable voltage...

The only way you can be creating 240v split-phase power ( +/-120v, ground-referenced) from a 240v single-phase inverter is by using a 1:1 transformer with a center-tap. The center-tap output potential of the split-phase transformer would need to be ground-referenced for the Tesla to accept it...

@geordi Feel free to DM me if you’d like help “fixing” the marker resistors in your extension cable. It really should be pretty easy. If you’ve lost interest and we are on our own, please let us know.

There was in my car too… until I filled that space with a 500Wh LiFePhO4 pack to bolster the existing AGM battery and serviced as a “buffer” to run my 1000W sine wave inverter for all my car camping cooking needs, without throwing codes 😜 I used to run it direct from the battery, but Tesla...

Also, PROTIP: select the 20" performance wheels in your vehicle setup screen in order to minimize speedometer error when fitting oversized tires. These are the possible stock tire diameters: 235/45R18: 26.3", 766 Revs/Mile 235/40R19: 26.4", 764 Revs/Mile 235/35R20: 26.5" 762 Revs/Mile By...

I'm curious how the 255s looked on your Aeros. Post up a pic here with them ! I installed 255/35R20 Pilot Sport 4S on my Zero-G 20x9 ET34 wheels to try and give them a bit more protection due to the horrible roads we have in the SF Bay Area (see my avatar). After having them installed, I'm...

Here’s those pics I promised of the disassembled adapter I mentioned above. Btw- did you find out how many ohms those resistors on the PP line are ? You should be able to determine the value of each of them by comparing first the resistance between PP and GND, engaging S1, then measuring again...

I bought this J1772-to-NACS adapter to build a custom L2 adapter (long story). Disassembly was easy by first removing the flange portion from the J1772 side using an oscillating multitool, then once mostly flush with the J1772 inner insulator stand off (that houses the recessed J1772 side pins)...

Ah, okay, for sizing purposes makes sense. I wonder if there were some way I could perform some maximum power measurements on my stock premium sub with the goal of you being able to adjust the gain down on your 500.1 so you could gain insight as to what drivers you believe would be efficient...

Exciting !!! I'm super curious about possible stock premium ss subwoofer upgrade, and yes, was hesitant to just roll the dice on a $200 sub that might be no better with the stock amp than the original 🤑 so that's awesome you have the stock amp coming. My only concern is that according to this...

Additional data for all posterity... 27.5" max tire diameter is correct, as originally reported by Apex Race Parts (although they've since removed this info from their model 3 fitment guide 🤷) Larger than that, the top of the tire hits the upper front ball joint mount of the knuckle. That...

re: buffer batteries, I have a relatively small 20Ah 4S8P A123 LiFeP04 pre-made pack strapped to the inverter that I used to ensure the wiring to the front mounted AGM battery cannot be grossly overloaded if the DC-DC converter shuts off for any reason (I don’t want to find out the battery...

I have zero issues using a quality extension cord going to my MC with my non-limited NEMA 14-50 to NEMA 5-15/20 custom made adapter. My Terrabloom 14awg SJOOW cord is super pliable, has quality nickel plated connectors on each end, 105°C rated insulation, lighted receptacle end that supports...

Any update on your progress ? Yes, dropping the trailer every time I need to SC I getting really old !
