    40A Breakers Get Hot When Charging

    IMHO. Food is hot. Coffee is hot. I think everyone agrees what you said. People feel "hot" differently, and people hear sound/pitching noise differently. And, environments make things differently. But I won't call it's funny. And not everyone has the way to gauge the true temperature, or, for...

    Unknown Error BMS_a066

    Just update. I was able to schedule the service appointment immediately after this message, and they promised me the loaner since this is the "critical" case for the battery/voltage error. I was able to communicate with 2 separated Tesla advisors - One called me in the morning next day, the...

    40A Breakers Get Hot When Charging

    Thanks. Just hope this new setup can give me a peace of mind. My previous Leviton's X "hole" (for the hot line conductor) had the black burnout mark already. I believe it will start to melt sooner or later. It can't even "hold" any temperature during such high-efficient high-current EV charge...

    40A Breakers Get Hot When Charging

    Is there a way to test the temperature? There are many of us experiencing such "hot" issues, and you know it's challenging to figure out how hot is too hot. :) I'll post my new results later... Btw, besides Siemans' breaker, any other recommended brands?

    You’re kidding, right? Frunk for EQE/EQS?

    So, after the official announcement on Aug 2, the site is up. Tesla and Maserati are using this. https://www.pirelli.com/tires/en-us/car/catalog/product/scorpion-ms

    Picked up Model Y without paying

    My rep went to verify every step before releasing the car to me in the pick up day. He indicated that his app will deny his request o release/surrender my car to me if one of the steps is incomplete. I'll first check my bank account to see where the money is, then definitely reach back to Tesla...

    AMA about owning Modern Mercedes EVs

    LOL. This is very true. I come back this year since Tesla is the only one. It's the only EV which can provide and resolve my range anxiety, and it has no brainer price tags this year. :)

    AMA about owning Modern Mercedes EVs

    I was thinking of 2023 EQS SUV and EQE SUV earlier this year, and my MB dealers seemed to provide $7500 lease bonus cash. I didn't choose MB this time because of 1. Range 2. Charging network 3. EV services. 1. Range - previously I thought EQS SUV 450 4MATIC /350 4MATIC had ranges between...

    40A Breakers Get Hot When Charging

    Just the quick update. I've been using the new Hubbell NEMA 14-50 for a few days. It's great. I tried to use 32A, 36A, and 40A to charge for 4+ hours. And, comparing my old/junk Leviton's, I can feel the huge temperature drop from this Hubbell's. As others suggested, I'm also ordering the...

    40A Breakers Get Hot When Charging

    You guys are right. My original 2-1/8” box installed in Dec 2017 barely fits the Hubbell and cables. And my cables are #6 which are stiffer and need slightly more space. So in the end I got another 1-1/2” extension ring, plus another half inch cover. So this boosts my box depth to 4+” in the...

    Unknown Error BMS_a066

    Just got this same error a moment ago. ‘23 MYLR, 45-days old, about 1.4K miles, was using the supercharge first time last night for 20-mins. The car was preconditioning prior to the supercharge. All of sudden this error popped up. today. The driving ranges and performance have been good since...

    New Pirelli stock tires?

    This looks so much like what some of new MYs have - Pirelli Scorpion MS 255/45R19 104V ELECT PNCS. But, I don't think the one MYs have is run-flat... I have to check then. I don't know when this tyre first came out, did anyone get this tyre prior to May?
