For V2H curiosity, here’s the equipment GM is using for PowerShare with the Silverado and Sierra EV. https://www.silveradoevforum.com/threads/gm-energy-powershift-charger.985/

I wonder if the cybertruck and PowerShare can get SGIP subsidies or the 30% battery ITC. Government cheddar is so tasty. Time for @Vines to get a CT and meter it with CT’s. https://electrek.co/2024/04/25/tesla-cybertruck-owner-quoted-over-30000-powershare-installation/

Got it thanks! I looked it up and indeed the DC side has similar looking terminal blocks. What's weird is the AC side still has screw-down lugs lol. If it's good enough for a solar inverter then it's good enough for this Wallbox I guess. Now I know what to tell the buyer when they ask me how...

Aren't backstab connections for outlets now non-code compliant?

Lol, this thing is going to get returned the moment the buyer sees these lugs then thinks I opened the box but didn't include whatever they need to affix conductors to these lugs.

Any chance you have a product/model inverter that you believe have these? At first, these things in the Mercedes Wallbox reminded me of the SMA inverter terminal block. Unfortunately jamming in the big conductor, and then jamming in a screwdriver to the small slot didn't actually lock down the...

Yeah that green ground wire was already attached. It seems they have a connector for that wire. But there’s no way to get my own copper conductor to terminate in that recess. Given both Tom and Sandy both have identified that improper torquing of the connectors is to blame for a lot of melted...

Yeah, I thought about it being friction based, and I can sneak in #6 into that big hole. But it just feels lose/janky no matter what I do. I don't know why they didn't use a screw-down lug. The Tesla Gen 3 EVSE is just so damn good haha. This Wallbox thing just isn't worth the hassle. No...

Spamming the TMC brain trust, since I have no clue who else to spam. Some Mercedes EQ vehicles now come with a free Wallbox EVSE. Unfortunately, it doesn't have normal screw/hex/torx lugs for the conductors (L1, L2, GND). Instead, it has what you see in the images below (potato chip for...

I sent you a PM.

Yeah, you and I think this is a unicorn occurrence. But the Dublin, CA service center was willing to make me die on the hill that it happens all the time, and is NBD for a Tesla to just stop working while you're driving it.

I don't want to jade you too much on this - so I think as a primary objective you should follow normal TMC mantra and try to get this resolved to your satisfaction with your service center. Basically hope for the best. As brkaus noted, the estimated fee is not billed to the owner for warranty...
