    Supercharger - Batchawana Bay, ON

    There's only a single phase available on that road, though, which was one of the reasons cited for not being able to install a full supercharger. They'd only be getting 208 if there were two phases available from the grid. It's pretty inconsequential because if 212v is all that's available...

    Only 212v on single-phase? That's odd, and unfortunate...

    Time to cut over after grid is lost

    Wow! I wasn't expecting anything quite as good as UPS response time, but even close to that is impressive. Thank you! That's an interesting detail, I suppose it takes it briefly longer for the inverter to 'wake up' when it's gone into standby. I'm comparing the Powerwall against other...

    Time to cut over after grid is lost

    Those of you who have Powerwall 2s, can you give me an idea of how long it takes for them to start providing backup power after grid power is lost? I realize that it isn't instantaneous since there's time required to flip the ATS, but I'm wondering if it's under a second or if it's more on the...

    Panels in Hawaii not generating power several days / month?

    Something sounds wrong here; even on a cloudy day you should still be seeing some production. I'd definitely give them a call.

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    I've got an 85D delievered in April 2015 with 68k miles and I haven't seen any noticeable signs of supercharging limitation or range/voltage capping. I'm still on 2019.16.3 since this entire debacle has made me leery of updates, but that should be recent enough that if my pack were at risk I'd...

    Preventive eMMC replacement on MCU1

    I find it very hard to believe that the SC has the ability to tell how close to failure the eMMC is, I suspect they were either confused and telling you some other stat or they were outright making that up.

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    If you want to be certain that your car won't download updates you need to open up your MCU and yank the SIM card. Connecting to a 'dead' wifi may be enough to prevent normal-priority updates, but it's silly to think that the MCU is incapable of passing data via LTE at the same time that it...

    Warning: Vehicle Systems Over Temperature Limit

    Ah, I stand corrected then! Don't rule out the charger module. :)

    Warning: Vehicle Systems Over Temperature Limit

    Just a quick bit of advice... if you're only seeing this error when supercharging then it is unlikely that the onboard charger is related, at least for model S/X. Supercharging is DC charging, and it bypasses the onboard charger and goes directly to the battery via the high-voltage junction...

    Software Locked Batteries - Do they ever Balance their cell/module Voltages?

    Typically balancing is done at 100% but in theory I think it should be possible to balance the pack near the bottom end of SoC as well. The tricky thing about balancing at mid-SoC is that the SoC/voltage curve gets very shallow so it becomes very difficult to tell which groups of cells need...

    I need to do what? Jiggle the plug like an old toaster?

    Does being rather firm when you insert each piece into the next help at all? This is a habit I notice I've developed over time that seems to help, especially when the J1772 connector is involved.

    If you fast charge, Tesla will permanently throttle charging

    You are seriously underestimating just how much time is consumed even just stopping at a gas station immediately by the side of the interstate and hooking up to a charger. I'm not sure even 3x the charge rate would be enough to keep up for 12 hours of driving with an S100D that's starting out...

    Voltage Cliff (Electrical Wire Length Limitations)

    Congratulations on your imminent new arrival, and from another Atlanta resident, welcome to the club! Hope you enjoy your car as much as I've enjoyed mine. :) I didn't see anyone else address it yet but you explicitly asked about possible damage to the battery pack caused by using the thinner...
