Bummer. I came back to this thread to see how people were doing. I got my replacement a few months ago, right after you did. I was able to charge at 48A again. I kept it that way for a couple weeks then decided I would not risk it and turned down amperage to 36A (from inside the car, and it...

I’m responding to this thread because I see you have at least seen that #3 issue discussed. I think my car has that issue now, unrelated (I guess?) to my prior HPWC issue. First, on topic for this thread and an update to my situation: my replacement Gen 3 HPWC has continued to function at 48A...

I’m getting back to this thread really late—sorry about that. My Gen 3 would overheat at 40A too, dropping the charge to 20A, so the firmware clearly just cuts the rate in half. It could do 36A for hours without problems, though. So I left it at 36A until Tesla sent me a replacement. Note it...

Same part number for me, both my original and the replacement. Unfortunately I still only have a few charges (but at 48A solid) with the replacement gen 3 even though I’ve had it three weeks because my car has been in service for the last two. :-( Should get the car back end of this week. I...

We're all on 0.8.58. For most of us, the problems didn't show up until a month after charging with no issues at all. We assumed it was the firmware, which changed to 0.8.58 around that time, but may it just be something internal wearing out over time? I have a replacement unit but haven't...

FWIW one of the techs told me, as we were talking about this issue, that the Gen 1 and Gen 2 were outsourced, while Gen 3 is a Tesla-designed product, so someone else got the engineering right. Frustrating. I wish I had gotten a Gen 1 or Gen 2 too, instead of the current model. My replacement...

The cord does feel pretty warm. I have had my replacement installed for a few days now and have done several charges up to about 2 hours, and it has always stayed at 48A, no overheating error. But that cord does get pretty warm. My last one worked for about a month before it started giving me...

I just installed my new one this afternoon. One charge under my belt now, only 1.5 hours long but it stayed at 48A the whole time, where the old unit was not able to make it past 45 or 50 minutes without dropping to 24A. Never did the 3 red blinks. Cord did get noticeably warm after an hour or...

I just opened and installed my new one a few hours ago. Did the setup procedure and put it on WiFi but I was hesitant--the firmware was 0.8.55 on it, so it presumably will update to the "bad" firmware. But whatever, I don't want to cripple it because I'm afraid of the firmware. I did a 1.5 hour...

I guess I can't edit this old post again, but I wanted to note my replacement arrived today. I'm not thrilled to be re-installing this myself, but it sounds easy, like even I can't mess it up. Probably will swap it out within a day or two. In the meantime, more updates from those who have...

You've had the opportunity to live with the replacement for a while now, do you have any update on how it's behaving? My replacement arrived today and I'll install it soon but I'm not in a hurry if it doesn't fix anything.

Please do keep us posted with updates once you've had a few charges under your belt. Same firmware, I assume? EDIT - and for what it is worth, I called to confirm I have a replacement coming, it just hasn't gotten here yet. I got my return label about ten days ago.

Where are you located? Sorry if I missed that part.

Holy cow. I will check my cord (also 18') but don't think there's any damage to mine. I definitely had several multi-hour 48A charges until about mid-July, when it started cutting back to 24A. Since I found that 36A works, I've had several multi-hour charges at 36A with no cutting back. But I...

Dammit. So you are getting the 3 blinks and everything just like before except not as often? This is where it would be helpful for Tesla to be able to actually come out to one of our houses to check out exactly what is happening.
