Started the order process just before COVID hit March 2020. That was when Tesla began to take orders for Georgia, USA. 07/17/23: install begins. 10.4 kW solar, 2 PW+. 07/20/23: install completed. Install team lead walks me through using the app, tells me "let the solar fully charge the PWs...

Just a shoutout to @FalconFour for doing fabulous detailed work on getting this upgrade off the ground, and to @BobbyC for making more wire harnesses (I still owe him for mine, his wife likes wine...now we know his Achilles heel...) and to et al, without whom we'd have no idea what that means...

That photo was taken early AM on a road trip; the driver was just walking back to his truck carrying his brekkies from a fast food place and we had a great conversation about EVs. He was apologetic and ignorant about blocking the SCs.

A Ridiculously Easy Upgrade. "A child could do it!" - L. McCoy Ordered the ECU via the Tesla app Service menu 05/11/22. 05/15/22, Tesla messages me "please come to the Decatur (Ga.) SC anytime to pick up your part". Couldn't buy it by going to the SC; had to use the app first. $140 + tax...

Burro. 1980.

I didn't see anything on the display about "free" or "complimentary", and at the time (12/31/21) I wasn't aware of the free juice until after I charged. My EA account never showed the session, even now. But, hey, free juice! Yay!

Another 164-1 firmware datapoint: 2018 Model 3 LR AWD, battery SoC 19%, 2021.44.25.2, EA installation Tucker, GA. (350 kW station). Followed the standard protocol: plug Setec into CCS cable, plug Setec + CCS cable into car, push button on Setec, swipe EA app. Worked first try. 43 kW on the...

Trying the new Mac update tool. The executable file "mac_updata_tool" included in the zip file would not open correctly in terminal on my 2015 MacBook Air (Monterrey). "permission denied". Had to dust off my Linux Fu and issue sudo chmod 755 mac_updata_tool, then it worked except the USB...

Was on my way from Bloomington, IN to Atlanta, GA, (10/13/21) and Haubstadt was not listed in the car when I began my journey 8AM. I stopped at the Bloomington SC to top up, and as I was about to leave, I thought I would check one last time because I had seen posts in this thread of people...

Charged successfully yesterday, albeit slowly at only 29 kW!) at this DCFC. Only took one try on V161-1. I sent a note to ChargePoint, and if you check the check-ins, everybody else is seeing slow rates, too. This unit *should* dispense 62.5 kW, so why it has been derated is an ongoing mystery.

My last successful attempt was plug the charger to the adapter, plug the adapter into the car, turn on the adapter, swipe the EA app thingy. I have no idea if that is correct; that's just what worked for me that time. Your method has also worked for me months ago on the same EA charger.

Just tested V161-1 at an EA site near my house near Atlanta, GA. Took me 4 attempts but it finally connected. 42 kW - Tesla, 49 kW - EA. Hooray!

Okay, I just slogged through this exact same maddening process using my MacBook Air, Parallels and Win10. Jeepers, what a train wreck. I'm pretty sure turning off anti-virus was the key, although I did change the cable, too. After many failed attempts with the first USB cable, upon using the...

Wüt? :confused:

Good, because I just got back from a failed attempt to take advantage of EA's free juice all holiday weekend. haha...
