Separate names with a comma.
In the Chinese TV series "You Are So Sweet", a classic Model S driven by the lead actor got a lot of screen time. Its first appearance is right at...
Recently I got the black screen of death. The touchscreen just wouldn't come on, and the error message appeared on the dash stating that the...
Probably nobody will see this comment since the thread is so long, but I just wanted to mention that I've discovered a really neat side-effect of...
I have a 2013 Model S which is rear wheel drive only, that has begun exhibiting a worrying behavior in just the last few months: at higher speeds...
If anyone knows of any third-party Tesla service centers in the state, let's list them here. As someone who owns an out-of-warranty Tesla that is...
The point is that in Europe Tesla DOES support fast-charging their vehicles at CCS chargers. To make this possible, Tesla has incorporated the...
Here's a rough schematic: [ATTACH]
Yesterday I made up a prototype "dumb" CCS adapter and tested it with a 2020 Model 3 at a CCS charger. It didn't work, because the car failed to...
Good point. In Europe, all the new Model 3's and Y's already come with a CCS port - so they can plug right in without needing an adapter. I think...
Hello, According to Tesla, “All Tesla Model S and Model X vehicles produced after May 1, 2019 have the technical capability to charge at CCS...
A little update: The repair I made started to leak again, so I went back and did a little plastic welding to fix it this time (using a hot knife...
With the latest software update, I too got the reset button back - and it's about **** time!! I bought new TPMS sensors and had them installed...
I wonder whether that may be one reason why Tesla has decided to forgo 3-phase capability in the Gen 2 UMC - to assure compatibility with the...
I know about the Tesla to J1772 adapters. My question was directed to members in other countries (not North America) where the predominant...
I'm curious about this, but since I live in the US our Tesla cords are different here so I cannot try it out myself. I understand the Tesla mobile...
Yes, that epoxy should work well for this. First roughen the area around the hole with sandpaper to ensure the epoxy can stick well. I just put...
The air hose is also plastic. It looks like metal but it's actually a rigid plastic tube.
A while back, I noticed that the air suspension compressor in my Model S was running quite often while driving. Then the air suspension warning...
Have they already sold? I'll buy them unless someone already beat me to it.
Very interested - PM sent!
Lately, Tesla has been making an effort to pair Supercharger locations - for example, Rocklin, Sacramento, Bakersfield, etc. I suspect this...
There are other sources now. For example EVSE Adapters has them.
You could take a 14-30 adapter and cut off the neutral prong so it'll fit a 14-50 outlet but limit the current to 24A. Software-limited NEMA 14-50...
It looks to me like the 16A version. The 32A plug would be larger diameter.
I'm happy to hear of some progress now. So, it looks like the superchargers that Tesla promised would be completed in Visalia by the end of 2017...
The letter looks rather vague to me. Maybe I'll write a letter back asking for clarification. Adding the disclaimer that I'm not affiliated with...
Well, I didn't anticipate this. Today I received a letter from Tesla demanding that I stop selling Tesla-compatible charging adapters. First a...
As a central valley resident, I was thrilled to notice Tesla's new service center in Bakersfield. The next closest were Van Nuys and Burbank, a...
No success yet. I believe I made all the right connections, but there's no communication between car and charger. I wonder whether anyone else has...
You're right! The new connector only has two wires for power, one ground, and two signal wires for communication. So I don't see how it would be...
The UMC (portable charging cord) that Tesla used to supply for European customers is pictured at the left, and their new design which is shipping...
For an upcoming project, I could use a little help from someone who has a CHAdeMO adapter. Using a multimeter or continuity tester, could someone...
For reference, here's a chart I found showing the three compatible modes of the type 2 connection, and the ccs combo variant - I've circled the...
I just finished repairing my door handle as well. The hardest part for me was extricating the handle assembly. It's a tight squeeze - first the...
Thanks, Tozz! That confirms Tesla does appear to be following the little-known specification for Type 2 that allows for DC quick charging through...
Could someone who has a CHAdeMO adapter help me out? I'm designing an adapter for the European superchargers for drivers of US vehicles, and of...
This is the new battery I got. Original was an "A" and this one's a "D" so I understand that's an improvement. [ATTACH]
Yes, it just gets really hard to turn. In this case though, the 12V battery still had enough energy to provide power steering. I have the classic...
Well here's the update: My car just got a new battery pack! They're telling me it's a brand new one, not refurbished, so hopefully it will add...
Thank you Tam. I've also found this article to be very informative: Decoding Your Tesla Battery Pack Version
Normally it's wrong to resurrect a 6-year-old thread, but for the sake of those of us who are driving six-year-old vehicles maybe we can make an...
Thanks - that helps. It's hard to find those early posts, but I'm having some success using Bing filtering by date range. Now that I know it's...
Thanks for the helpful info! It seems every car on the list gets over 100 KW at some point on the curve, with most getting very close to the 120KW...
I'd really like to compare what everyone's supercharging speeds peak at. It seems different year model vehicles and different pack sizes are both...
I've learned when you've run out of energy in a Tesla, the first thing you want to do as soon as the car has coasted to a stop is to set it to...
I was wondering if this might have to do with balancing. I actually did charge to 100% only once - ironically it was the night before this...
[ATTACH] A couple days ago, while cruising along the freeway at 70mph my Model S abruptly shut off with no warning, claiming that the battery...
Since I was passing through Chico last Monday, I dropped into the shopping center hoping to see some progress - but I couldn't find any signs of...
Thanks for the updates. I'm heading north tomorrow and figured I'd have to divert to Harris Ranch. Such a relief to know I can charge here after all!
Thanks for the helpful feedback - I've revised the item description to mention the temperature monitoring. You did bring up a good point, that the...
