This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing Want Tesla Gen 2 mobile connector (working or not!). Please add to the discussion here.

Today I was planning a road trip and researching the en-route Superchargers on Tesla's website, when I happened to notice that the Supercharger in Anaheim, CA on West Lincoln Avenue is stated to have "GB Compatibility". Anyone know what that means? If you've been to this location, is there...

As we know, Tesla has been phasing out the Type 2 connector on their Superchargers in favor of the CCS standard. Older vehicles which do not have CCS capability can charge directly at the Type 2 Superchargers. However, can they charge at the new Superchargers which have only CCS cords, simply by...

I have a 2013 Model S which is rear wheel drive only, that has begun exhibiting a worrying behavior in just the last few months: at higher speeds (above about 60mph) if I hit the throttle to speed up the car suddenly tries to veer to the right, and when I let off it wobbles to the left. Now I...

If anyone knows of any third-party Tesla service centers in the state, let's list them here. As someone who owns an out-of-warranty Tesla that is somewhat high-maintenance, it would be really nice to have options. I'm sure a lot of us know about the Electrified Garage, but they're clear on the...

Hello, According to Tesla, “All Tesla Model S and Model X vehicles produced after May 1, 2019 have the technical capability to charge at CCS Combo 2 charging sites with the use of a CCS Combo 2 adapter.” It's important to note that this message is intended for customers in Europe, where CCS...

I'm curious about this, but since I live in the US our Tesla cords are different here so I cannot try it out myself. I understand the Tesla mobile connector comes with a Type 2 connector just about everywhere except for North America, so it should be usable for charging other electric vehicles...

A while back, I noticed that the air suspension compressor in my Model S was running quite often while driving. Then the air suspension warning light started coming on frequently. I started noticing a hissing sound from the front of the vehicle after parking. These symptoms were gradually...

Well, I didn't anticipate this. Today I received a letter from Tesla demanding that I stop selling Tesla-compatible charging adapters. First a little background: I've always been interested in electric cars, and as soon as I bought my first EV I realized there was a need for adapters so people...

The UMC (portable charging cord) that Tesla used to supply for European customers is pictured at the left, and their new design which is shipping with the Model 3 now is pictured to the right. Meanwhile, the UMC that Tesla used to supply for their US customers had its own different style of...

For an upcoming project, I could use a little help from someone who has a CHAdeMO adapter. Using a multimeter or continuity tester, could someone test the continuity from the two large pins on the CHAdeMO end to check which ones they're connected to on the Tesla end? Thanks!

Could someone who has a CHAdeMO adapter help me out? I'm designing an adapter for the European superchargers for drivers of US vehicles, and of course I need to make sure I get the connections just right. I know the superchargers use the four power pins of their modified mennekes connector for...

A couple days ago, while cruising along the freeway at 70mph my Model S abruptly shut off with no warning, claiming that the battery power was too low. There were no limit lines until the split second before it shut off. However, there should have been plenty of range remaining - the indicated...

For the last two days, I have been unable to place an order for anything on the Tesla store. Whenever I enter my credit card information, I get the following error. Anyone else experiencing this issue? When might they fix it? Unfortunately the hold time on the phone is over 20 minutes -...

For the sake of science, I took apart a Model 3 Gen 2 NEMA 10-30 adapter to see how it communicates the charging current to the UMC. The Gen 1 adapters which have been used for Model S and Model X achieve this by means of an internal resistor connected between ground and the communication pin...

Looks like a bunch of superchargers are being installed at Casa de Fruta. This could be good news for people heading over Pacheco Pass and would relieve the existing Gilroy location. Strangely they're not currently on Tesla's "coming soon" map nor on supercharge.info. Maybe someone in the area...

A few years ago, someone posted the internal resistor values of the UMC charging adapters that tell the UMC how much current to draw. I searched all over but cannot find the post now. Anyone have this info? Thanks!

If you have a non-working Tesla charging cord, UMC or HPWC, gathering dust in your garage, I'll gladly buy it to recycle into an extension cord or adapter for another Tesla owner. This is an ongoing request. Please send me a message at Contact Us

All I need is the end where the adapters would plug in. If you have an extra UMC, I'm interested - even if it's not working, that's OK.

Hello, I would like to meet up with a Tesla owner near the Exeter / Visalia area in the interest of developing new charging adapters. Let me know if we can meet up in this area.

Is it true that the Model S can somehow sense the current carrying capacity of any outlet it's plugged in to, and adjust the charging rate correspondingly? I know the Roadster came with pigtails that would send a pilot signal to the car's charger so it will draw the right amount of current, or...

I was looking to buy some lithium batteries for a project and remembered seeing some good deals at evcomponents.com - but the site gives me an error message and their forum has been hijacked by a spambot. James is nowhere to be seen. Apparently he hasn't posted here in months. There are rumors...

According to Darryl Siry, Tesla Motors has announced that the model S will sell for $75,000 before incentives, an increase of $17,600 from the $57,400 price originally announced. http://www.wired.com/autopia/2010/08/tesla-subsidy-vanishing-amid-electric-vehicle-boom/ Now even though this...

I've seen one of these in the past. I think it was either a spreadsheet or a website where you can enter in variables such as the vehicle weight, drag coefficient, battery capacity, speed and elevation gain - and it will tell you how far you can go on a charge. Anyone know where I can find...

From the Sydney Morning Herald (yes, the Aussies are taking an interest in California's EV roll-out). California gets all wired up for electric car surge Looks like San Francisco is displaying an unprecedented level of commitment to EVs.

Here's a short review of the Roadster Sport, posted today in their 60-second science blog. Very positive review, albeit from a passenger POV. The Tesla Roadster is a rocket. And all-electric too: Scientific American Blog

Google Trends reveals the perfect storm that brought the electric car back into the collective public conscience. If we search Google Trends for the phrase "electric car" we find a significant spike around July 2006 and the search frequency ramps up considerably in 2008 and 2009. A search for...

I was just thinking, some electric cars have the charging port in front, such as the EV1, RAV4EV, the new Nissan EV, etc. And some have it on the side near the rear, like the Tesla Roadster, Smart ForTwo EV, Mitsubishi's i-MiEV, etc. So which do you prefer? Where will it be on the model...

I just uploaded a new profile picture, but it's not showing up. I can see it in the control panel but not next to any of my posts...not even the ones I made subsequently. What gives?

Just caught this on my RSS feed: Tesla Motors Founder: Let Me Run Detroit | Epicenter | Wired.com I'm not going to mention the fact the article title itself declares Elon to be the founder of Tesla (oops, just mentioned it). Actually to be fair, it does include Martin as founder too. It's a...
