    Car reset to default settings after update?

    Just happened to my 2018 model 3 LR - updated to v11.0 (2022.36.2) and lost my profile settings (except for one), my Trip history (one of which I kept to track my energy usage and efficiency since Day 1), all of my Homelink settings, my charging history (at least last paid charging session), my...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    I've used Volta at Stonestown, EA at Safeway/Lakeshore/elsewhere (CHAdeMO and CCS), ChargePoint around the Bay Area (CHAdeMO and CCS) - 2018 LR RWD. I am using the Tesla-branded CHAdeMO and CCS adapters.

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    I had a whole bunch (dozens?) of the same low coolant warnings in service mode, but no warnings ever came up on the user-facing console. Tesla (supposedly) did a whole bunch of tests, including a pressure test and visual inspections, and they found nothing wrong. I was low by about a quart of...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    I've charged at a Shell Recharge station with CHAdeMO and CCS (and Level 2 GreenLots). I had a bit of trouble with the CCS connector and communication with the station when I tried it a couple of weeks ago in Central California. It could have been (my) user error, since I was only starting to...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    Because of my broken deadfront pins, Tesla is going to replace my charge port via Tesla mobile service in about a week. It looks like I'll receive a 2017-2020 (Gen 3) Charge Port per my Tesla estimate: 1449495-10-E

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    (sorry, off topic from the original thread - happy to continue via PM if others find this information to not be useful) Thank you. I also found a helpful YouTube video to show me the location of the harness connection and the instructions to power off the Tesla first. I just found a great...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    Thank you, I didn't even think of OBD adapters, and a quick Google search opens up a new area for me to explore. I'll check out ScanMyTesla. I've manually tracked my mileage/wattage for all of my long drives since day 1 in Excel, and Stats has some interesting data. I unfortunately didn't use...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    Would you mind sharing which program/data/website shows you this information about your Tesla's current battery state? I've been using Stats for a couple of years, and I just started a trial with TeslaFi. Thank you. I'm sorry to hear about the COVID. :( On my 200mi drive back home this...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    Thank you, @abraha2d and @lynyrdM . The EA stations in San Francisco proper and the ones in Fresno are fairly new within the past 1-2 years and seem to be mostly the Signet chargers. (Funny, I initially though "Signet" was the name of the charging station since I've only started using the EA...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    I love this information; it's bringing back my good memories of high school physics classes. I was an EECS major in college but only did the CS side professionally after college. I'm trying to get my son into more circuitry projects, though, and initially he loved the snap-in circuitry kits...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    I just checked the Electrify America app for the stations I was at yesterday. All 4 stations at that location are rated "up to 150kW," so the Ionic was getting a really good ~140kW out of 150kW while starting out. I thought the Ionic's overall charging curve was quite impressive, especially...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    @FalconFour makes sense - appreciate the info about the differences in charging architecture. Perhaps Tesla will "catch up" and move to the higher-voltage architecture in the future. @lynyrdM yes, apologies, meant to use kW as the charging rate. Also appreciate the insights about weather...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    A few CCS charging reports with my 2018 Model 3 LR RWD: - Volta - 85% SoC - 11kWh (rated at 50kWh max, I believe) - EV Connect - 36% SoC - 41kWh then eventually 46kWh (rated at 50kWh) - Electrify America - 56% SoC - 53kWh then at 42kWh around 75% SoC (rated at 150kWh) At the Electrify America...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    This is the part. Thank you for sending the technical service bulletin. Now I'll remember this as a "pin deadfront" - glad to know it's a fairly inexpensive item and straightforward to replace and check voltages.

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    I appreciate the clarification. Nothing in the box unfortunately, but at least with this experience I'll get it right going forward.
