The chademo (left) is daisy chained to the Tesla connection (middle, red)

EVGo is using a legacy chademo adapter, hence the 50kw limit. This is not a nacs implementation

I am on FSD Beta 11.4.7.3 and I really hope this issue gets resolved soon.

One of the owners is from Florida. He flew out for the Austin event. Instead of driving it all the way back to Florida, he drove it from Austin to Houston (Hempstead SC) to get a feel for the car. It was awaiting a transport truck to Florida when I was at the service center. Apparently the...

2019 Model S Performance with 31,000 miles. Rear motor failed with random red PRND issues, going into park without notice. Never saw an error message, but Tesla Support pulled the logs and said I need a new motor. Estimate says: ASSEMBLY - REMAN - SPORT REAR DRIVE UNIT - LDU(1025598-00-T)

Please be aware sometime in the last month or so Tesla Roadside Assistance changed their policy and will NO Longer provide a loaner wheel/tire if you have a flat with non OEM tires. See the attached chat. I have OEM wheels with new pirelli tires and they would not come and help. So...

Woohoo, I now have CCS. Appointment took a bit longer than expected since I was the technician's first retro install. He said they had a dozen or so scheduled for the week.
