    v11.4.7 (2023.7.30) auto-wipers seem drastically worse

    Holiday update is greatly improved performance for me at least. Only complaint that I can completely ignore is that when water is being misted up via other car tires, the wipers were going full speed for some reason. But since there is actually water coming onto the windshield I can deal with...

    v11.4.7 (2023.7.30) auto-wipers seem drastically worse

    I came here wondering if I was the only one. I will step out on a limb that until the past two software releases, I was relatively ok with the auto-wipers. However, now, they are really ****ing bad. Cloudy day. Dry wipe. Really sunny day, dry wipe. Has been driving me ****ing crazy.

    CCS Adapter for North America

    I am not an EE. Do you have any concerns with the evhub adapter at the higher kW? I haven't seen anyone do a teardown of it to validate how it is built and whether it should handle this amount of voltage and amperage. I haven't had any issues with my evhub adapter but was just curious on your...

    CCS Adapter for North America

    The only thing I will say is that the Ukraine post has said they are still delivering stuff. Evhub has a shipment due at the end of the month. I hope they can continue operating.

    CCS Adapter for North America

    The evhub adapter is 100% passthru. The lectron is just the setec adapter that emulates the chademo protocol and is limited in how much power it can deliver.

    From Model 3 to Model Y to Model S

    My family used to be a two car family. I had a Model 3 and eventually my wife got a Model Y. We only have a Model Y now but I am seriously itching to get the Model S. With used car prices, I can sell my Model Y with 23,000 miles for as much if not more than I paid for it. The one thing...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    I have the CCS adapter from EVHub. I emailed him with my support the other day due to the war. This was his reply.

    CCS Adapter for North America

    I want to point it out because it is a legit concern now. Evhub is shipping out of the Ukraine. Anyone ordering from there should consider the risks of doing so at the moment. Obviously, I hope Ukraine doesn't get invaded. I also would also say the Evhub adapter is pretty damn awesome IMO...

    Setec CCS to Tesla Adapter

    Supply chain. Easier to ship the car this way if that is the part holding it back and you have old inventory of control board.

    CCS Adapter for North America

    I can confirm I pulled 170kW using this adapter on a 350kW EA station.

    CCS Adapter for North America

    I felt mine with my hand during the charging up to 170kW and it didn't get warm. It was 40F outside so that might have something to do with it.

    CCS Adapter for North America

    Figured I would update my CCS1 adapter from evhubs experience. On Friday I was able to pull 170kW using it at an electrify america station

    CCS Adapter for North America

    My battery was at 50% SoC. So I wasn't expecting extremely high kW. I just figured it would be more than 37kW.

    CCS Adapter for North America

    My car was preconditioned (and garage kept where the temp was 55F over night). Vehicle had 45 minutes to precondition (had navigation set to supercharger near me). And it doesn't explain why chademo charged faster and the kW were more closely matched. I tested the chademo between switching...

    CCS Adapter for North America

    Well crap, that sucks. I am not sure how new the EVgo near me is. I will probably just wait until Friday when I will be taking a day trip where there is another Electrify America station on the way and my SoC will be lower.

    CCS Adapter for North America

    Figured I would provide an update. My vehicle is a 2020 Model Y with CCS1 support being enabled Received my evhub adapter. Tried the only electrify america in my local area. On the 350 and 150kW stalls, the max I charged at was 37kW. The odd thing was that both stall screens showed that the...

    CCS Adapter for North America

    Once it leaves Ukraine, monitor it on the USPS site. The original ukraine tracking won't show anything.

    CCS Adapter for North America

    Just thought I would give an update on my evhub order since they are shipping out of the Ukraine. I decided to bite the bullet and hope they had all the issues resolved. Mine shipped on the 28th, it is arriving today at my house and I will be testing at Electrify America this evening. 2020...

    CCS Adapter for North America

    Correct, I have run into multiple occasions now where Superchargers are backed up OR the superchargers were screwed up (ran into two superchargers where every stall was ramping up and down the kW so it would have taken 3 hours to do any significant charging) on a long road trip. My choice was...

    Strange Supercharger behavior

    Last week I drove up the east coast to Washington, DC and back. I experienced the same thing at two different 150kW superchargers. Both were nearly full. I wouldn't pull more than 30kW with my battery below 20% but the weird behavior was that it would bounce from 0kW up to 30kW. Up and down...

    Unhappy with phantom braking

    Just drove 1000 miles over the past week. No phantom breaking on 10.2 Beta which switched my vehicle to vision only. I have had phantom breaking incidents in the past when it used radar. I still drive with my foot near the accelerator due to being concerned it will happen.

    2021.4.18

    I know people aren't going to believe me. Last night I got the update to go to 2021.4.18. I actually have no idea what firmware I was on before (I do own FSD). Just 20 minutes ago, I got an update notification to install 2021.4.15.12. I have no idea what is going on.

    Tesla making CCS adapter for fast charging interface

    If people want to know why someone would want this? The main interstate I take for travel doesn't have a supercharger directly on it. I have to travel 40 extra miles to charge. Electrify America has a charger right on it. I will use a chademo adapter to charge there because at the end of...

    Tesla wall connector gen3 overheating fix

    It is a little salt in my wounds because I upgraded my Gen2 because at the time I couldn't get another Gen2 for under $1000. I refused to pay that amount and I just purchased two new Gen3 and I need power sharing, Yet, here we are, no power sharing. So even if the Gen3 units had none of this...

    Tesla wall connector gen3 overheating fix

    You probably know this but I figured I would go ahead and say it in case you don't. The size of the wire isn't just determined by the amps you want to run through it but also the length of the line. But yes, 6awg should be enough for these installs. I just think something in the Gen3 is...

    Tesla wall connector gen3 overheating fix

    Awesome......more evidence :-) One thing I can add is that my chargers are in my garage. I live in South Carolina where it gets to upper 90s in the summer. My garage is normally 85Fish during the middle of the day in the summer. Didn't change anything for me.

    Tesla wall connector gen3 overheating fix

    I am not an electrical engineer or electrician so take this with a grain of salt. But I deal with three phase and single phase power at my business. I have done a ton of work here. I have run into wires and breakers running hot. Burning up relays, etc. If your 6AWG wire and breaker are...

    Tesla wall connector gen3 overheating fix

    Both of mine are the 18ft cord. The smaller AWG going to the WC from the breaker can increase the overall resistance and that would could cause the car side cord to get hot.

    Tesla wall connector gen3 overheating fix

    Not accusing anyone of anything. I am just wondering. I am hoping I just got lucky. I ordered and received my Gen3 wall connectors in Feb 2020. They sat until June timeframe I think. I installed them myself. So here is my question. What size wire is everyone using? I haven't hit the...

    Charger door alignment - anyone else?

    Same issue here. I had mobile tech out for looking at all the issues I have. Charge door was a no brainer, they have just ordered me a new one. The big issue is that my driver's side door isn't on correct so the inside of the door is making contact with the dash causing an indentation...

    Got call. Want pickup tmrw!

    Not sure if you can join and have a Navy Federal Branch around you, but if you good credit, they basically instantly approve you. You sign all the documents online. Then you pick a branch to go pick up the check. And once approved and you signed online, you can pick it up anytime they are open.

    Had a great delivery specialist for model 3, my model y delivery specialist is a moron

    I really hate complaining. But Tesla screwed up this time. Got text a couple weeks ago that I could schedule delivery. Had it scheduled for this coming Monday. I have been through this rodeo before. This time, to help keep things smooth, I decided to go with Tesla Finance because how could...

    Model Y Insurance Cost

    Just ran a quote through Esurance who insures my Model 3 and my Subaru. Had it replace the Subaru with the Model Y and my rate decreased by $10 every 6 months. My current rate is around $650/6 months for both vehicles.
