I know there are multiple threads that I can’t figure out how to post to. I don’t expect a new conversation on this. I just put on Conti pure contacts. My M3 now drives like a Subaru on wet snowy icy roads. I wish I knew how good my Tesla would drive with these tires or I would have replaced...

Your anecdotal evidence is not evidence that whistles work. If there were scientific evidence then why don’t insurance companies demand or even offer them? In fact, I have not found scientific peer reviewed evidence that they do. Everyday when I drive down my driveway deer stop, look, say hello...

Update on charger failure. I continue to get random events of charger stopping with a constant red light, not flashing. I most recently got a yellow continuous flashing of a yellow light on the car itself. Car was inspected by Tesla SC twice (second time during HW3 install.) no issues but they...

My mistake: I have not held The reset button for 5 seconds. I will try that next time and report back. You guys have been great. I truly appreciate it.

Solid red light. I assume I have gen 2 purchased fall 2018

I clearly am a poor communicator My main circuit is 200 amps. My Tesla charger is connected to a new 50 amp breaker and the dip switches are set at 40 amps. I think the suggestion to lower the charger to 30 amps is a good idea to see if it will prevent this issue of the charger shutting down...

Just LED garage and workshop lights when the car is charging and a frig in the garage which isn’t working much as the outside temp is lower than the frig still.

I’m sorry to be so dense but I don’t understand as the Tesla charger is hardwired.

No aluminum. The connectors look ok to me done by a licensed electrician (I got lazy). The wiring goes from the main box in my basement to a secondary breaker box in my garage area then to the Tesla charger.

I’m not sure what you mean by outlet model?

50 amp breaker. Dip switches set per manual at 40 amps I think. Car display says 40 amps. Cable barely gets warm.

the wire gauge appears to be the same size as the internal wiring from the internal bus bar mounting bracket into the charger itself. The wires run through conduit. The whole thing is set as per the manual set for 40 amps to my recollection. I will check the bus bar and the breaker connections...

great suggestion but I just opened the charger up. There are no loose connections however.

Electrical advice needed. Tesla charger installed by electrician when I bought AWD LR. About once a month the breaker would trip then it fried. Electrician said it was a faulty breaker; ok, I caught it before my house burned down (it was too hot to touch ) with replaced breaker no further...

My 12V was replaced the day before my M3 was to arrive at my home. No explanation. They didn’t have a replacement battery so I had to wait another week for delivery.
