Hey sorry just saw this. Sure, I've been supercharging this thing a lot as I have free supercharging and use it for our family trips (bought back in 2018) so I've gotten my money's worth out of this car! ;) Probably about 75% SC, had about 80k miles when it failed? FWIW haven't had any problems...

I wish I had investigated as thoroughly as you! I do think it's odd. The issue only emerged when I rebooted the car during supercharging, between 2 software updates. The latest update had no release notes, so it was a quick fix. Current version 2023.12.9, so it happened on the prior release...

Perhaps this may helpful for anyone who encounters this. From Tesla service notes: "Replaced Fast Charge HV Battery Power Switch". Cost me $785. Ouch. Fixed the issue, though. Back to supercharging.

Crickets out here. No one has experienced error BMS_a174?

Recently got a BMS_a174 "Unable to charge, Disconnect and retry" error on a 2018 AWD M3 while supercharging. I was pretty low, around 8%, charged up to 27% or so. Saw new software update notes, was fiddling with the new "Search" section at the top. Saw the new text size option, and when I...

Went over and charged for a bit in my 3. Was already over 50% so it wasn't fast! Started off at 100 and dwindled to 70's pretty quickly. Assuming that's mostly a function of my charge state and not anything to do with the chargers. Also, noticed a few Teslas plugged into the J1772 stations...

Odd. Shows up in my cars too. I'll try to drop by today or tomorrow and actually charge!

The long wait appears to be over! Showing up on the map in the app.

By any chance do you recall how long the delay was between activation and it appearing in the app or in the car nav?

I don't think so. I live within the range where it would appear on the map in the Tesla app, and it's not showing up yet. But, that might mean it's just not active in the app yet. I see Arroyo, Pismo, etc., but not this one. This one sure seems to have taken a looooong time. PG&E backlogged on...

Absolutely. My first drive with V11 and an alert for tire pressure pops up while I'm driving. OK, swipe's gone. Hmm. Maybe the little alert is a button that will display the current tire pressure so I know if I need to stop immediately or top off next charging stop. Hmmm... nope, not a button...

Looks like it's almost ready! Photo from 10/14/21. Fence removed, some equipment still covered up, and a black band still attached to each charger. 16 on this side and 4 on the other (not pictured). Threw in a photo of one of the J1772 chargers as well.

It was cleaner before, and was also a great demo for friends and family who don‘t understand how extensive the supercharger network is. It’s a game-changer. If you‘ve had a Tesla for awhile you tend to forget how much misinformation is out there regarding range and charging. For what it’s worth...

Photo from today. Overhead conduit in place.

Yep. The new ones are still covered as of today (8/10/21). Also, seems like Tesla could have had this paved. As Doug mentioned, pretty goofy given how Mojave is a pretty key stop for a lot of people heading east. Have been to a decent number of superchargers over the past 4 years and this is...
