Schucks Cos! I got all excited that Tesla was now offering a TT-30 UMC adapter for campgrounders and owners with limited load center space and capacity with 100, 125, and 150amp panels. Oh well......

You may consider a QCP UMC smart self-limiting Jesla and grab all of the discontinued and currently available UMC adapters for your current leaf and then keep it in your M3 trunk along with a J1772 extension cord for road tripping. The M3 supplied Tesla UMC will perform quite nicely permanently...

I always verify a proper electrical install when charging on a friends or relatives 30+ amp circuits by re-torquing all electrical connections and I check for proper circuit breaker and wire gauge. Beware, not all 6-50s and 14-50s are what they appear to be! There are 60,000+ homes in my 'hood...

I am loosing my mind over this Model C. :)

Put me down as one of the patient believers.

Interesting....are there any other super sites without a wood, Trex, brick surround or fencing around the super cabinets?

I always follow that same tip that someone posted a while back as well. I also keep my tires inflated at 2psi (cold) below the stated maximum pressure on the side of the tire for more responsive handling, decreased tire wear, and increased efficiency/range.

Fair enough, including a return (rumored) of the 14-30 and adding either a TT-30 or 5-30. As I have stated often over the years: more UMC adapters = fewer 3rd party/DIY adapters = fewer failure points = safer auto limiting charging = higher TSLA

The Tesla UMC 5-15, 5-20, and 6-15 adapters are all the same nominal size. Tesla, please replace the UMC 6-15 adapter with a 6-20 as this will positively be required for the crush of folks purchasing an M3 with limited 100, 125, and 150 load centers. Please help eliminate the unsafe use of 3rd...

4 - if Tesla waived the shipping fee

I achieve (shown): 8-9 mph 12A@243V 12 mph 16A@243V 18 mph 24A@240V

12AWG is good for 20A (reasonable length run) 10AWG is good for 30A (reasonable length run) I am just a hack, so I would recommend consulting a real electrician. Btw, it wouldn't surprise me if the youngster handling the UMC adapters wises up and re-releases the 14-30 (we have heard that from...

+1 I am having difficulty finding this transfer switch part/strategy from an old post. Not sure if this is the correct device..... Leviton 3033-2I 30 Amp, 120/277 Volt, Toggle 3-Way AC Quiet Switch, Extra Heavy Duty Spec Grade, Self Grounding, Back and Side Wired, Ivory - Wall Light Switches...

Do you have any room/additional capacity to install a 6-20 (20A 240V aka an air conditioner outlet) receptacle and deploy a $45 Tesla UMC 6-15 adapter for ~9mph charge rate? You may also consider sending your UMC to QCP to "stretch" it up to 50'. Good-Luck!

Yes, I keep the UMC permanently docked on the 14-30 and my QCP stretched 50' UMC stays in the car.

So cool that you have owned two extremely rare cars! And here I thought my SD 4spd. (1 of 212) with 18,000 original miles was rare. One can always purchase a UMC bag at a SC. Good price though.

Is that a BX termination wire protection sleeve or sumthin' else? Thnx in advance.

Masti The very short version is your car will (usually) charge faster if you don't share the same pedestal number with someone else when you arrive at a supercharger. For example, if another S/X is on 2B you should plug in to 1, 3, or 4.

Same here, 48" for my 14-30 and 60" for my HPWC as it really is about proper strain relief and cable support so as not to stress any connection points along with ease of use for the UMC, HPWC, and WC. Like @JPP posted, 'ground up' for 240v (tesla) receptacles.

So..........how many bucks is 70 squid o_O and are we all getting one these sick little toys and starting a Tesla/VUHL 055R club and towing these around with our Ses and Xes?? It has a 1000% more styling than that Ariel Atom 'thing' IMO. However, I refuse to run in the same heat as champ (I...

I agree with the above Doc's post regarding the benefits of deploying a Tesla UMC 5-20 adapter. This is my favorite adapter that I use for both 120v and 240v charging. I believe every owner that travels off the supercharger network should own one. Heck, we even had (6) in use for the 180...

1. no old construction single gang workbox (WTF!) 2. no Romex connector deployed where the 10-2 passes thru the load center panel box 3. no attachment (wire staples) of Romex to a stud within a certain distance of exiting the load center and the same goes for exiting the workbox (oh, that's...

Most likely an antennae extension to help recieve weak signals on older (around pre-50K vin) in-wheel sensors/transmitters. I always carry and trust my mechanical air gauge over the electronic TPMS. I have run 49psi (cold) since Jan '13 (65K miles) on my 20" (square and staggard) and 21"...

You shouldn't have any issues traveling mid-morning to mid-afternoon weekdays thru the Hampton Roads region especially after beach season. However, weekends during the summer months is pure suicidal! If you are traveling west on rt. 64 from Richmond and you see any traffic issues on your iPhone...

tga I don't know that much about suspension, alignment, and tire rotations but it is important to me to have even, predictable, and a long lasting tire life since we put 20K miles/year on the Jan '13 delivery P85. Under the guidance of champ with a later detailed important explanation by Hyper...

how? (pro detailer, painter?) In Dedham country (Weston) today and tomorrow. I will be taking delivery much further south. I do like the/your idea of accepting the vehicle with no prep as I am a fusspot and request on every service visit "Please, No Wash, No Tire Rotation, No Alignment."

yup 61147CX 13/16" socket (zit on head) 66147DX 56/64" :) socket (similar to OEM style)

I prefer to fill my tires with a very special mix of approx 78% Nitrogen, approx 21% Oxygen, and a small bit of other 'stuff'.

I have had good luck with this outfit in the mid-atlantic. It appears that there is one down your way. Good-luck! Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists of Atlanta, GA

When charging in the wild, I check all connection points including the receptacle at 15 min, 30 min., and 2 hrs. for excessive heat (ok to be warm, but not hot to the touch) and will dial down the amp draw oftentimes well below the safe allowable maximum as you have smartly done.

a) yes b) a bunch of cars for test drives c) provides a venue for owners to get their Tesla "fix" with other owners and employees d) provides an important opportunity for future owners to engage/ask questions to existing owners worthwhile event IMO

I would seek out a competent wheel/tire shop that can check your alignment, but more importantly have them remove the (2) tires from the wheels and check the runout with a dial indicator gauge on the outer and inner rim bead surfaces. If it is more than .020"isch "out", I would consider having...

Yup, my money is on Cos as he has been around here a long time. I am generally not a safety conscious person, but I would be very mindful of the elimination of an important safety device for your hot tub. Good-Luck! btw, CRAAZY gorgeous blue!

Stasla Might you take look and see if your washing machine or microwave (both typically the sole receptacle on a branch circuit) outlets are plugged into a 5-20 outlet where you can test or deploy your Tesla UMC 5-20 adapter for ~5mph charge rate until you sort out your 6-20 wiring device issue?

Not sure, but I thought EVSEupgrade.com was the same company.

Yup, @Cottonwood taught us that years ago.

A&J are probably driving back "home" for sum delish Captain Marden's eats. :)

YAAY! I was just looking at the Seawall Motel on PlugShare earlier today. Yeah, it seams that the stations are so new as they are not yet posted on Tesla's Destination Site as of this afternoon. Thanks so much for successfully pitching them! I gave up on the Harborside Hotel & Marina last...

Yup, you're over thinking this. :) If you compare your 21 fronts to your 19s they are ~.1" diameter of each other and within a few revs/mi.

Can I have your garage? :):)

I don't know about all this volts, watts, power stuff being discussed upthread. What I do know, is that STIHL makes some seriously sick kick A$$ chainsaws that I have used for lot clearing. And every yard maintenance company that I see in my neighborhood, on the road, or working at a...

Thanks. Still confused, your example in red shows 7.5 -> 60kw or 10hp -> 80hp?

PLEEZE stop posting on this thread as it is driving me (classic owner) crazy jealous.:):) Enjoy your very quick amazing ludi machines y'all!:) Love Vegas's blue!!!

JRP3 is correct. I have replaced many ball joints where either the L or R was worn. One side wearing does not cause prematurely wear or failure on the other. If the OP had not posted the vid of the cleaned--up mud caked a-arms and only showed the (1) wore-out ball joint, he might have fooled...

I thought it goes up by the velocity squared.

I was just thinking the same thing before reading your post. They are as inefficient and noisy as my BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain tires on my 4X4. They are in no way similar to my tires on my enclosed car trailer. Jus' sayin'.

I have run out-of-spec 49psi (cold) for nearly 3.5 years steve 1. You might consider reading my post in the link below 2. Consider switching to the brutally practical 19s or possibly TSportline's new turbine 20s along with high UTQG rated tires 3. Getting a group buy together and beg...

Most likely the same as the Chevy Jolt. ^crickets^

Shotgun Thanks for your service! Your tire wear has been extensively written elsewhere on this forum. I would recommend that you take some time to read the threads listed below (and there are others as well) along with a few of the noted posts. This forum is so very fortunate to have a...
