    USB in front console stopped working

    Placed a service appt in app, got an estimate back for $88 to diagnose. Realized I hadn't tried reboot, so did that. Working now. I'm used to trying the power off trick on most things, just not my car....declined that estimate and canceled appointment...

    USB in front console stopped working

    Anyone ever have a USB port in the front console stop working? Right side doesn't work currently in my SR+. Tried multiple items/devices...no luck. Going to attempt a hard reboot then making a service appointment.

    Tesla Wall Connector with J1772 plug instead of Tesla proprietary plug

    Free time has dried up. Purchased an OpenEVSE advanced kit, assembled and put the J1772 on it for now. With 2 EV’s, need L2 to keep options. L1 for a Leaf was just barely cutting it. As for the Tesla HPWC, the Curtis contactor is more or less proprietary. Will need to spend more time to see if...

    Tesla Wall Connector with J1772 plug instead of Tesla proprietary plug

    I get no click. I suspect the relay coil is bad. A quick check with meter last night showed voltage on both sides of relay when check to ground. This was with car plugged in and not plugged in. Will try and source the Curtis contactor assembly and swap, go from there. If this doesn’t work, may...

    Tesla Wall Connector with J1772 plug instead of Tesla proprietary plug

    Video was great, unfortunately with my older Gen 1, the contactor may be the culprit, or the board just doesn’t recognize pilot signal. I’ve confirmed the pilot at the board drops from 12V to 9V once vehicle is plugged in. Researching a contactor now.

    Tesla Wall Connector with J1772 plug instead of Tesla proprietary plug

    Wow, nice work. I’ll have to dig into mine soon. The red flashing light helps. Need to find my bench PSU and try to energize the contractor to see if it’s working properly.

    Tesla Wall Connector with J1772 plug instead of Tesla proprietary plug

    Very much interested! Have any knowledge of gen 1? I felt my original wiring setup would have worked considering the simplicity and confirmed pilot signal, but believe I have a bad board or contractor in HPWC.

    Tesla Wall Connector with J1772 plug instead of Tesla proprietary plug

    Work got in the way then we had a road trip. Haven’t revisited since I reverted everything back. Plan to dig further into the gen 1 HPWC to understand what is bad. Depending on that, may give up. Kinda needing a Level 2 J1772 option sooner than later...

    Tesla Wall Connector with J1772 plug instead of Tesla proprietary plug

    First results were a no go. My Leaf recognized the J1772 and initiated charging, but after 5 minutes, stopped (based on 3 blue lights on dash). When pressing the latch handle on J1772, I can hear an audible click as it seems the pilot Is correctly landed. When plugging this setup into a Model...

    Trying something different for now, but thanks for suggestion.

    Tesla Wall Connector with J1772 plug instead of Tesla proprietary plug

    Gen 1 connector only has 5 connectors coming out of corded end: two power, one ground, blue and purple wire. Will pinout each one to verify, but have hope this can be working relatively easily. If temp sensor becomes an issue, can work around this. Not required for proper operation, J1772...

    Tesla Model S UMC cut open and modified to J1772

    This helps a little bit. I’ll research this route to see if I can reverse engineer somehow. However, I’m trying to do the opposite: Tesla HPWC box with J1772 cable/plug. Thanks for the info.

    Connecting Tesla Charge cable to OpenEVSE box

    Interested in how this turned out.

    Tesla Model S UMC cut open and modified to J1772

    I’m looking to take a J1772 plug and cable, and wire into a Tesla HPWC Gen 1. Looking for diagrams if anyone has one. Will use a 14-50 wip cord to supply power, 50A breaker, dip switches set to 40A. L1, L2, and PE are easy. Anyone know what the blue and purple wires are coming out of Tesla cable?

    Tesla Wall Connector with J1772 plug instead of Tesla proprietary plug

    Using a Gen 1 HPWC. Anyone know what the blue and purple wires are coming out of charging cable? Diagram or prior knowledge would be great instead of having to pin it out myself.

    Tesla Wall Connector with J1772 plug instead of Tesla proprietary plug

    Doesn’t seem to be a lot involved. Necessary hardware is already inline in J1772 cable. Provided HPWC is set correctly and wiring correct, it should work.

    Tesla Wall Connector with J1772 plug instead of Tesla proprietary plug

    Looking to do it on my own. I understand it’s been done before. Would it just involve wiring up the J1772 cable into HWPC? Power, ground, pilot...

    Tesla Wall Connector with J1772 plug instead of Tesla proprietary plug

    Hey there, looking to simplify my home charging setup (Model 3 and Leaf). Can I install a J1772 cable (plug and cable) into a Tesla HPWC? Have an old HPWC with bad plug on end, and a JB40 with a smoked contractor. Looking to move 14-50 cable over to HPWC for supply, and J1772 cable/plug to work...
