I went through a batch of Mk2 adapters as the first 4 I tried would not even latch with the charging station plug at 8 different stations, looked like QC checks were not carried out properly. Is yours a pre facelift 100D? Not sure but that may well be the change over point to the Mk2 adapter.

I suspect you have the Mk1 Chademo adapter, they have updated it and the new Mk2 version works for all cars. I can't remember the year of change over but 2013 was defiantly a Mk1 era.

Sorry yes, you are quite correct in what you say, the neutral is the return. I was attempting to differentiate between a Ring and non Ring.

You are very close on the understanding of single ended, it is when one end it attached to the socket and the other the breaker with no loop back, we have limits on how many sockets may be daisy chained like this. So we would run 3 core (normally 2.5mm) which would carry the live, neutral and...

Makes sense, I looked at the Wiki article that RockyH posted up earlier. So you can get 100a at 120v and 200a at 220v, we only get 100a at "230v" (I get 244v) single phase on domestic circuits. The UK used to be 240v nominal but with the rest of Europe at 220v the "standard" is now 230v across...

It was just an observation on the AWG of the cables required to supply the same piece of equipment. In the UK we would typically use 14 gauge (1.5mm) for lighting circuits and 10 gauge (2.5mm) for 32amp ring mains (effectively 5mm cable - 2 * 2.5mm) all or course at 230v. I am presuming that...

I can see the lower voltage argument to a point with very old consumer/fuse boards, but what at whatever load for the same wattage the cables on 120v need to be twice as thick. I understand that it is too ingrained now in the US to change over, can your 220v supply still give 100A? Sorry, this...

That's interesting, so you get 2 taps on your incomming supply? sorry, I did mean 120v, I was thinking of a shaver socket :)

Thats great info, thanks! It also accounts for why my 100D struggles to get past 110mph below 50ish% SOC and the power meter warnings get more and more frequent, it gets very current limited below 50%.

Do you guys in the US have a choice between 110v and 220v? Obviouly 110v cables have to be twice at thick to carry the same power which makes them a pain to route, in the UK we have 230v (nominal) so for 7.2Kw we just need 32a which runs on 6mm cable just fine.

Mine (2 off) arrived yesterday as well, nice touch from DirectLine

I can confirm I am having the same issue with the Audio, plus Radio favourites greyed out, forward/back screen buttons not working and steering wheels buttons the same, my service centre has confirmed this is a firmware issue and will be fixed in build 38 I believe.

Interesting, I look forward to seeing mine in the mail soon then :)

I don't want to cr@p on your thread OP, I feel your pain having refused delivery of 2 model S new inventory vehicles in the last 2 months on quality/damage grounds.. Tesla in fairness have loaned me a car whist they try and sort it out, my next and final attempt to collect a properly prepped and...

I will second that list! Plus, decent washer jets and USB audio that works.
