Just came across this thread. I had the PCS in my 2018 Model 3 with 81,000 miles replaced in August 2022 as it would not charge at over 32 amps even though my wall charger was capabile of 48 amps. I had been getting the message that the problem was with the power grid since before the general...

2018 Model 3 LR here. Just scheduled mobile service for FSD computer upgrade. Cost estimate quoted $1,000 plus tax.

Thanks for including a link to the service bulletin. I have had the problem with reduced charging from Tesla wall chargers for several years. All I get now is 32 amps max. If I raise it any higher I get an error message that there is a power grid or vehicle issue limiting AC charging. My car...

I have exactly the same problem with my 2018 model 3. I use auto high beams, but have to pull the stalk back towards me and hold it to keep the high beams on when my speed drops below about 25 Mph. That is usually when I am looking for a driveway or something when driving in a neighborhood...

That where zoning really comes into play. You can keep the bedroom at a different temperature than other parts of the house and do not necessarily have to keep adjusting the temperature in each zone.

Heat pumps are common in our area and our HVAC company has installed hundreds replacing both propane and electric strip heating systems. You have come to the correct conclusion. Heat pumps work like air conditioners in reverse. Cycling the power on and off at different times of the day or...

I did the front bumper only and regret not doing the hood at the same time. Now I have several scratches on the hood where rocks coming from trucks on the highway have bounced off the hood and left scratches in the paint where PPF would probably have protected it. The lower angle of the front...

Same problem with my 2018 Model 3 LR. I thought the problem was on a public Tesla wall charger, but then tried it at home at 48A and it exhibited the exact same symptoms. Takes a few minutes with the current going up and back down to zero before it finally gives the charge rate reduced...

Received my replacement Ver. 2 battery 10/8 and installed on 10/9. So far so good.

Not a problem charging my Model 3 with a 5kw diesel generator and I figured out my mileage with the diesel consumption of the generator to be about 25 MPG. Better than my previous ICE car!

I've noticed the Electrify America chargers at our local WalMart are pull through. The cybertruck may be equipped with a CCS connector or even better for all of us maybe Tesla will be selling a Tesla - CCS adapter by then.

Best Tesla paint job yet!

If your actual supply voltage coming into the building is indeed 208, then your voltage drop is 25 volts and at 32 amps that is 800 watts being dissipated somewhere and I would certainly be concerned as that is going to produce a lot of heat somewhere particularly if it is at a connection point...

I would suggest stopping at the supercharger in Lindale and top off and you will be good for a stay in Tyler. It is located right on I20 at the Colin Street Bakery so a good chance to pick up some goodies while you are there. I did stop at the new service center and I don’t think they are...

I may be interested in the 18" tires or possibly the tires and wheels depending on price.
