Electrek is reporting that EVgo will be providing Tesla CHAdeMO adapters at some of its fast charging stations. You are still limited to the adapter's maximum of 50 kW, but it is still much faster than Level 2 charging. "Tesla partners with EVgo to deploy Tesla connectors on their nationwide...

After evaluation, I have found that the SanDisk product is fairly useless for use with the Teslacam. 1) You have to unplug it from the car and manually put the device into WiFi mode to access the videos. When it is plugged in, the device never goes out of "USB Mode" on the Tesla Model 3. I...

Thanks for this info. I got the same drive. However when I leave the car the app still says that it is in USB Mode even after some time, so I can't see the content without unplugging the drive first. How did you get this to work? Am I missing a step?

The Juicebox reduces the amps provided to the Model 3 during Charge Events instead of turning it off completely because if it turned it off completely the car would not wake up when a higher current was provided after the Charge Event was over. If the amps provided to the car are low when it...

Or an oven?

What about the Delorean, the Tucker or the VW Beatle (original)?

I have this issue too. The wind noise seems to mainly come from the left rear window. I am going to have Tesla check it out.

The Smart Charging feature of the JuiceBox is supposed to turn on or off charging when the car is plugged in in order to charge when the cheapest and greenest electricity is on the grid. eMotorWerks then provides you with cash rewards, provided to them from the power company for saving the power...

For Model 3 owners having trouble using the eMotorwerks JuiceBox Smart Charging feature, I received this email from eMotorWerks today: “Thank you for your participation in eMotorWerks Rewards program. We appreciate you identifying your Tesla Model 3 in your JuiceNet mobile app. As a result...

Using a J1772 is not slower than using the UMC if you have more than a 40 amp circuit. The UMC is limited to 32 amps, which is what you can get out of a 40 amp circuit. I have a JucieBox EVSE connected to a NEMA 14-50 outlet and get 40 amps.

I have a 90 Amp service to my condo and was able to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet in my garage with condo and city approval. However installing a 60 amp circuit if you only have 75 amps total service would probably be pushing it. Maybe you can get your service upgraded or get an additional meter...

This is a battery limitation. All Lithium Ion batteries work best when not fully charged or discharged. Tesla is just helping you get the most out of your battery by putting these limitations in place.

I asume you meant that you have a NEMA 14-30 outlet. You can just get a Tesla NEMA 14-30 adapter for $35 and avoid changing the outlet to a 14-50. In any case, you should not put a 50 amp outlet on a 30 amp circuit. That is likely against code and runs the risk of overloading the circuit.To your...

When you send in the form to the DMV for the HOV stickers be sure that you physically sign the form with a pen. I filled out the .pdf form on my computer and used the Annotate feature to add my signature. The DMV sent it back saying they needed a physical signature on the form. That delayed...
