I stopped by this location and was able to charge (reduced power level). A Tesla person was performing service work on the system today. It looked like about 1/2 of the stations were operating. I observed 4 vehicles charging at the time.

If you have not sold them, perhaps I can buy. I only need two right now, but can buy all 4. I can pick them up in Charlotte. I offer $400.

Got the noise on mine. Its been there a long time, perhaps it was always there. I like the "normal" explanation.

Good to know. That helps prompt me to further investigate another issue I am seeing with the car.

Okay, I got the parts in and ran through the setup on the Model S. It seems operating well on wifi and celldata. I get very useful info like SOC percentage, ideal+estimated range, all 4 tires pressure and temps, current odometer and 12V battery voltage. First time I have been able to see 12V...

Thanks Mark for the info and all the work you do.

I am wanting to try out OVMS on my 2012 Model S as well. It looks like I can order another full kit of parts from Fasttech with the 3G modem, add the K-line board and have a go for Model S. Adding some features like TPMS readout to my early-limited feature Model S would be neat, plus finally...

Thanks for that suggestion. I will have alook at the cable to verify, it may be out of date. My TPMS is still working today, but with this update, I hope to be ready for any future issues.

So happy to see this. I will order promptly.

It happens to me on occasion. I imagine just an update on the OVMS module or such. I enter my info in the app again and it comes right back up.

I am interested in migrating/updating my OVMS when this is in production. It seems like most every Roadster in private hands will benefit from this long-term owner-empowering capability. TPMS has been such a challenge and frustration for many.

Well this unit does come with an IR remote. I agree with gregd that it is not desirable use case in the Roadster. I put it in the glovebox, and may never use it, but it is there if I need it. I like my big buttons. :-)

Thanks again for that detail. I am planning to study the OVMS manual again. In particular may later want to get an alarm or notification of the battery voltage dropping below ~12.3 or so. That would be an early warning that it is not charging as it should be. This telemetry is very useful.

Understood Mark, However, since the (non-APS) DC-DC converter is dead on my car, the only source of continuous 12VDC now is the 12V battery circuit! I have patched the 12V battery in (fusebox tap) to take place of the failed ESS 12V DC converter. So, for my car, the 12 volt battery does...

The buttons I programmed for vol+, vol-, mute, play/pause, ... The programming page looks like this: Easy once you get it all hooked up.
