I had my steering rack bolt replaced in my 2015 Model S as part of the recall back in August of 2018 (SB-18-32-002). I just dropped my car off this morning for service because the power steering gave out entirely. They said that the failure signature looks like the electronics in the steering...

Had my annual service and Dedham realized they didn't configure the firmware correctly. Came back today to try it out and saw the full dual charger in action.

See attached screenshot for comment above.

I came back today to give it a second shot. I reset the fault on the HPWC and plugged in. The reported voltage is 274V. I have dual chargers, but for some reason it's stuck on 40/80 A even after 15 minutes. I was suspect about my dual charger installation at the beginning of last year because I...

Hey everyone, Not a homeowner yet and still living in apartments. Trying to find a new place right now that is EV friendly in the Waltham/Lexington area. Does anyone have any experience with apartments or rentals that are north of I-90 close to 128 that are EV friendly and have EVSEs within...

Topped up at the Lincoln SC before heading over to North Conway, great location as interim since it looks like they'll be adding an SC on the east side of the White Mountains near Conway potentially. Not much around the Lincoln SC though.

I tried out AP northbound in the section where the highway splits into one lane on the left and two on the right and it handled both pretty well. I kept my hands on it the whole time just in case, but the ultrasonic sensors used the dividers to keep me a safe distance from the walls at all...

Yes, charge handle was inserted all of the way and both the car and station acknowledged a fault. The NA HPWC manual seems to only state it can support 80A at 250V, but this seems to be contradict the screenshot and info above about 250+ volts so I'm not sure if my car from 12/2015 just doesn't...

Regardless of the input type, doesn't the battery heater use off-board energy to heat the battery pack (even if it's in range mode) while plugged in to something?

I attempted to use this tonight in my 12/2015 Model S 70D and the fault indicator went off on the HPWC and the car saying there was a charge fault. The L2 worked at a degraded capacity. Not sure if either is due to the cold (~15F) right now or my 2015 can't take the 3-phase voltage.
