    Left and Right Uberturbine Wheels Are Not Mirror Images of Each Other

    Old thread but I was noticing this as well on Teslas. Seems like a miss from an aero perspective, you’d want the turbine at the top of the wheel, the part moving forward against the air, to not cut into the air. On both sides of the car. Since many tires are directional it seems doable to have...

    Gen 3 Wall Connector

    I don’t understand what the issue is. The Gen 3 wall connectors actually have a temperature sensor on the bus block where the wires come in. Both installations are monitored to the same level. If the argument is that the 14-50 plug connection also needs to be monitored, you could argue the...

    Gen 3 Wall Connector

    Yes, the thing is that I actually went and set up a DNS entry for each of them on my network, and with that I assigned an IP from my non-dynamic range. Further, since the MACs changed they wouldn’t have had stable IPs anyway. I hear the TWCs do mDNS but I don’t care, I line being able to...

    Gen 3 Wall Connector

    Originally they didn’t match the labels on the outside. The QR code’s also didn’t work on either of them. This seemed weird to me but I just found the MAC in the DHCP logs and moved on. Now after the update they match the label, so I’m chalking it up to a bug in the firmware. The first MACs...

    Gen 3 Wall Connector

    Both of my wall connectors upgraded to 0.8.54+g46f395de1d5760 today. Interestingly this changed their MAC addresses so I had to adjust my static DHCP configuration. I also noticed that the blue light behaves differently post full charge.

    Gen 3 Wall Connector

    They have a knockout on the bottom and the top, I’m not sure why it makes a difference if that comes from a conduit or a hardwired cable of proper gauge and rating. I’m not an electrician or a Tesla engineer, though.

    Gen 3 Wall Connector

    Ok, thanks for the info. I definitely see it reaching out every once in awhile. I guess I just expected that there would be some version newer than 0.8.4 out there for it to install, but perhaps the update window is finite for each new release.

    Tesla Wall Connector with J1772 plug instead of Tesla proprietary plug

    Good luck with figuring it out, let us know what you find. It probably is something in the relay, if I’m reading right you do hear a click so the relay is being triggered but apparently you’re not getting a proper voltage or current. If you don’t mind working around high voltage there are...

    Tesla Wall Connector with J1772 plug instead of Tesla proprietary plug

    I threw this video together, and this thread seems like the perfect place for it. I’m not super eloquent but hopefully if someone is looking for info around swapping connectors they find this helpful.

    Tesla Wall Connector with J1772 plug instead of Tesla proprietary plug

    Oh, and I also have a steady red flashing LED on the internal board, like you. I’m not sure they are the same, but if they are it seems normal.

    Tesla Wall Connector with J1772 plug instead of Tesla proprietary plug

    Unfortunately, I know nothing about the gen 1. I’d be surprised if it were more complex, but it is probably easier than gen 2/3. The gen 2 and 3 have the L1/L2, ground, and then four small wires: blue, orange, purple, and then the last is white on mine but it may be a black/brown on the gen 2...

    Gen 3 Wall Connector

    Sorry for the double post, still seeing mine on 0.8.4+g8984eea7a4b342 same version as others who bought months ago. I was wondering if you noticed any rhyme or reason around how and when updates occur, if it’s once a month at night or right after a vehicle charges, something like that. I am...

    Gen 3 Wall Connector

    Thanks. I was wondering if they were still doing HPWC updates the old way via the car despite WiFi.

    Gen 3 Wall Connector

    What’s the latest firmware everyone is seeing? Do these update via the car or via their own WiFi?

    Tesla Wall Connector with J1772 plug instead of Tesla proprietary plug

    Ok, well I’ve got my XC90 charging right now via the j1772 connector on a gen 3 Tesla charger. I can share the details if you end up getting a new HPWC, it isn’t very difficult.

    Tesla Wall Connector with J1772 plug instead of Tesla proprietary plug

    Are you going to give up, then, since your HPWC is bad? I've been scavenging bits of info from various places for this as well, though I plan to swap j1772 onto a gen 3. I've learned a bit about what the wires are, and what the electronics look like inside the Tesla connector/handle. I don't...
