I sent the electrician the pictures and he thought it was a spring failure and not an overheating issue. So let's hope this one last decades.

Thanks Sleeydoc, I did that a few times before torquing it to 45 LB IN for the #6 wire I used. I think I did that right.

Sleepdoc, I am heading to the store now to by a torque screwdriver.

I took the 60A Eaton breaker apart (only lasted 2.5 years). The left side is good and the right side is bad. I am not sure how a breaker works but I can't find any burn marks. Can anyone see how the right side failed?

All fixed! It was the breaker, the electrician gave me another one and I just installed it and it works fine now. The bad one had one side of the breaker not working. He said that it is pretty common for these breakers under a Tesla load to only last a few years, he is starting to replaces ones...

So when I take the breaker out I should see two contacts? Just test that I see 240V across those two contacts on the buss bar?

How do I run that test? I have not done that before.

OK I just disconnected the wires from the breaker and I get: L1 to L2 = 5.3V L1 to neutral = 2.5V L2 to neutral = 123V Seems like half the breaker is bad, Eaton has a lifetime warranty I think but I purchased through a electrical contractor so I not sure how that works. I will call them....

Goobers, good idea, I think before I try that I will disconnect the L1 and L2 wires from the 60A breaker and measure the voltage at the breaker with it disconnected to see if I get 240V instead of 61V. If I still get 61V then I know it is a breaker issue and I can try re-seating it. I have...

Here is a picture of wall connector after I installed the wall board behind it if that helps. You will see a spare wire (white) since I installed 6/3 wire instead of 6/2 two and half years ago, so I do have a spare line.

I took my wall connector off the unfinished wall in my garage and then installed wallboard. Then I reinstalled the wall connector the wall connector is not working. No lights on the front at all. When I took it off the wall I only turned off the breaker and removed the face-plate to the wall...

OK, I will try a few things and if it works, I will return and share how I fixed it.

OK sounds like it is something I shouldn't worry about. I wasn't worried about it, I was mostly curious why it just started to happen.

My schedule charging has been come inaccurate in the past couple of months. I have a Fremont Model Y LR 2023 with about 17k miles. I have a Gen 3 Wall Charger, last time I checked the software was 22.45.1 and I have it set to charge at 48A. My garage temp lately at night is in the 40's F. Here...

I didn't know that might be an option, my whole family would like to remove the app if possible.

kpanda17, I think I was close to 30%. What frustrated me is they said I would get the discount after 6 months of driving. When I got the new bill 6 months later it was the same as when I started with USAA. They gave me an up front discount (they didn't tell me about) that went away once I got...

Eux118, The USAA app is called SafePilot. In the app it will track many things for each drive, for me I used the distance traveled and the time of each drive, I was surprised it was almost 7 hours of driving to complete this test over a couple of days. You might have to call USAA to get a link...

tmatsus, it wasn't long perhaps a couple minutes at a pretty slow speed.

My 2023 model Y LR 19" stock wheels from Fremont has 17k miles on it, the weather was decent (62F and sunny) so I ran my battery down to 0% (0 miles). I mainly did this to lessen my fears of running out of battery on a road trip. I started with a full battery (100% charged from home), usually...

I have a trip from Colorado to Austin as well coming up in April, hope it is done by then.

@spydervenom Wow, thanks for the kind words, glad I could help and congrats on the director job! Funny that you recognized my name here in this forum.

Oh yes, I have the Long Range. Sorry about that.

I was curious so I started tracking my Wh/Mi since I got my model Y a year ago. Just thought I would share, I included the average monthly temps as well. Not sure if these are good numbers or not. I went on only one really long road trip in May.

My turn signal sound stopped working and a few minutes later the entire display went black. I stopped the car and rebooted and the display and turn signal sound returned. I was going on a long road trip the next day so I went in to the service menu and found this error around the time that my...

That was a long time ago, sorry I have no idea.

Craig, yes a software update right after this happened fixed it.

Zoomit, thanks for letting me know this is normal.

I live in Colorado, my 2023 Model Y has about 13k miles and I have made several trips up into the mountains. I am noticing a trend, the Trip Projection is extremely accurate going up the Rocky Mountains, and not accurate going down. I live near Boulder Colorado at elevation 5860' and...

I live in dry Colorado. My 2023 model Y only has 11k miles on it. About 3 weeks ago I started to use the AC overheat protection, that is when the vinegar smell started. After research I decided to turn off AC overheat protection and the smell has not returned in a week. I purchased new filters...

I finally got my free supercharging miles.

New Model Y owner here, I have a couple of questions: In the picture you can see Santa's sleigh in the tire pressure area and the normal car picture above. I turned off Santa's sleigh mode but it keeps showing up on some screens. I tried to turn on and then off the Santa's sleigh mode but that...

I ordered a Model Y and got a vin # and I have a pick up date on Monday. I am trying to finish all the tasks that the Tesla app is requiring before I pickup the car but I am hitting an issue and no one is getting back to me at Tesla. In the "Registration" section of the app I put in my info...

Any ideas when they are going to start fixing it up?

I was there yesterday as well and it was a zoo with all the cars that have come in for delivery. I could barely drive thru the lot.

If anyone is interested there are even more Tesla chargers on the back side of the hotel in that last picture above.

Thanks for all the input. I'm a little confused, it's true that the wire I linked to only has a max 55 amp rating, but the Tesla wall charger data shows the Maximum output (amps) of 48 amps on a 60 amp breaker. If the max output is only 48amps for the charger, can't I use the 55amp cable? Now...

I am thinking about getting this 6/3 wire from Romex at HomeDepot. This would be the wire from a 60amp breaker to the Gen 3 wall charger. Has anyone installed with this wire for their Tesla and was it a good experience?

Update: I just asked our Mayor (Town of Superior), he didn't know so he asked the store manager, and he said they are planning for one at that location but did not have an estimate on when it would be available.

I live only a couple miles from there, and I pass it almost everyday. I went in there today to see all the model Y's they have but I didn't notice any construction. I watched them build the building, I was surprised that they did not run any electrical out to the far part of the parking lot for...
