Wait, there's a baby seat option? Holy cow. I didn't know that. I've been plugging in the extra seatbelt all this time.
Supposedly on the model 3 the 12V battery charging current is only 6A, so pulling 8A is probably not a good idea.
That's fine, just don't connect it to the battery directly. Use one of the other 12V circuits. Someone suggested the subwoofer amp circuit is...
Seems pretty good. Does it automatically open as you drive up? That's what I like about the homelink integration. It's just seamless. I...
I agree. I don't think Lithium makes any sense for them. It adds cost and complexity, since you'd need to add a heater and BMS in the 12V battery....
Good point. They could make a better module without requiring any new hardware in the car. But, then you would have to install new hardware in...
I mean, it's less than a month old... It should be clean! Although, my interior was WAY dirtier than this at delivery. Dirt and hand prints...
Nevermind. WTF? Why did they remove that? It's been included on every other Tesla as standard...
Why do you need to have homelink installed? With our 3s, it was just a matter of programming our garage remotes into the car...
A diode would waste too much power and get very hot. You'd want to wire it so that the relay turns off when the PCS turns off, disconnecting your...
Nice! I think the relay precharge circuit mentioned above is pretty good and simple. Just a big 12V relay from Amazon and a single resistor, and...

It's disappointing that the 100 packs get throttled too. I was hoping they fixed the chemistry in the P100D. Do we know about the latest raven...
Lightstream? Get them to match the terms you got from the other lender. I have 100% of both of our Model 3s financed with them at really nice rates.
Not yet at least! Hopefully never, but we don't know what the future will hold.
Neat. Is it wide enough? Does it go all the way to the edge of the seat opening?
Good reasoning. I don't know if mine is isolated from the case. I'd have to check...
I don't know, but I imagine it might happen. The Model 3 peak charging rate is over 3C. Let's hope they got the chemistry right to enable such...
One thought... You might consider moving the relay to control the positive terminal and have the negative always connected. I assume the car...
Yup. That's true. Road tripping in the S60 going to be take longer because you have to push it to charge to the limit. Yes, SR model 3 will take...
Agreed. I was only referring to the need to slow down charging at high SoC. If you have a larger battery, then you don't have to charge as high...
Yes, this will be the same on any car powered by lithium ion batteries, which is all of them. Charging must slow down as the state of charge...
Ah, didn't realize it was the Chademo connector that was broken, while CCS is working. Let's hope for a CCS adapter soon. It looks like there are...
Nice. More time to chill out in the car, get work done, or nap. :-)
Is the chademo working at VIR now? Plugshare shows recent successful charging. PlugShare - Find Electric Vehicle Charging Locations Near You...
Wow. Disappointing to see it happening to the latest 100 packs. I was hoping they had fixed the chemistry issues in the 100 pack. Especially since...
Yeah, I really didn't understand how the 21700 cell size could enable charging at over 3C. It's an ~80 kwhr pack. Tesla has since updated the...
Kind of true for me. My P90D was a lease, so I turned it in and got a P3D. I'll probably sell it before the warranty runs out so I don't get...
Fancy cooler!
They could also script the change, so it could be done automatically on a large number of cars. It doesn't mean that person had to log in and edit...
Wow. That's shockingly manual and also seems easily reversible.
Sentry mode should keep the 12V on all the time. It seems that some of the recent software keeps the 12V on all the time, even without Sentry...
Yup. But, you could pull at least 50 kW continuous, if not more!
I was referring to using DC fast charging capabilities to get a direct DC connection to the battery. That bypasses the on-board charger. There...
Yeah, once battery longevity improves. Right now the battery is too expensive per kwhr to be feasible for V2G.
Cabin overheat protection should handle that. I think the ultimate would be a fake Chademo charger that gets the contactors to close and then...
Sounds right. Might be better to put the inverter in the trunk, rather than the frunk, to keep the 12V wires short.
Looks like paint damage. Was it there at delivery? Is it getting worse? Seems like they need to repaint.
Yes, 240v umc plugs will accept 120v. I have charged at 120v 32A!
Agreed. I said that earlier. That's what I'm using now. 6-20 outlet and 6-20 UMC plug for one car and 14-50 for the other.
Good points. You can solve #1 by using a 6-15R or 6-20R outlet so that someone can't get that wrong. Anyway, I don't plan on making one soon,...
Ok, I'm curious. Why would it be a problem if you short together two hots that are on the same phase? They would be at the same or nearly at the...
Agreed, 240 in a 120V outlet in the wall is a bad idea. A NEMA 6-15 to 5-15 adapter is a much less bad idea. Especially if it is well labeled and...
Nice! I have been thinking that 6-20 should be my goto when traveling. I have a 15' 14-50 extension right now that is heavy AF and not very...
Yup, I agree it will work and it is fine to do it. I charged exactly like you said for a few months to a year.... Just that there are better ways...
True, and this is why MCU1 cars have failing eMMC memory. They log everything like crazy and didn't bother thinking about how much they were...
Agreed, that is exactly what I did. I converted a circuit that had only one outlet to a 6-20 outlet, including taping over the neutral with black...
Agreed, now that it exists. I think when this thread was started, there was no NEMA 6-15 or 6-20 plug....
Like this: 110-120 and 220-240 Voltage Converters & Accessories
Nice. Also, for that 14-50 plug, if you just leave out the neutral, it will work in 14-30 and 14-50 outlets. The UMC doesn't use it and if you...
