    Charging options for 24 amps (30 amp circuit) with a 10/2 run.

    That's 100% what I expected. For some reason now that I google the installation manual and read it... you're 100% correct.. Earlier today I swear I was looking at an installation manual for the gen 2 wall charger that said to connect 2 hots and the neutral and to NOT connect the ground... but...

    Charging options for 24 amps (30 amp circuit) with a 10/2 run.

    I was installing a mini split (heat pump) that required a 30 amp breaker. I had to cut a bunch of drywall to get to the panel and buy some 10 gauge wire, so I figured I would run a line to charge my 3 faster while I was at it. I ran a 10/2 (no neutral) run from the panel, to an outdoor...

    Charging Issue Level 2 at Home

    While that sounds like good news... we're going to need a much bigger sample size to know for sure. I haven't been presented with the upgrade yet....

    Charging Issue Level 2 at Home

    Noise can be occurring at different frequencies, the scopes we are using may not have the resolution to show us. And honestly, who know what ability the tesla has to determine what is dirty and what isn't. The fact that people here are starting to report on board ac charger replacements now...

    I'm Canadian. I definitely have the issue.

    Charging Issue Level 2 at Home

    Household surge protectors work by adding a metal oxide varistor in parallel with the load. These are a consumable and only last for a limited amount of time. This is why surge protectors have lights on them to tell if you if they are working or not. After a few short years, most surge...

    Charging Issue Level 2 at Home

    The voltage itself isn't really that relevant. If there is significant voltage drop, the charging will be reduced (lower amps) but other than that I don't believe voltage is the issue here. If it's within the acceptable range, which is likely something like 240 +/- 5% unloaded, voltage should...

    Charging Issue Level 2 at Home

    Update, Plugged in today, I could tell right away it was going to fail... 0/1/2 amps for the first 2 minutes.. so I connected my scope right away, and the sine wave definitely looked less perfect than the past 2 days when the car charged perfectly. (atached) I talked to a friend of mine who...

    Charging Issue Level 2 at Home

    Update for today: I had friends over to watch a particular event on TV (let's not touch on politics here) and he brought over his pocket scope. it was 8:30 pm by the time I used the scope on my power and tried to plug my car in... and, as is the case with trying to diagnose most issues, the...

    Charging Issue Level 2 at Home

    Here's a youtube video that I think might help shed light on the issue. (just to give everyone an idea of what actually might be the cause of this) My T3 did eventually start charging last night, but it was when I plugged it in after midnight. if my theory is correct, the power gets cleaner...

    Charging Issue Level 2 at Home

    I think this pretty much answers all the questions. This isn't a ground issue, or a bad breaker issue, or a loose connection issue.. This is a software / source power issue for sure. While RheesB's diesel generator may be old, if it's running at the correct RPMS (and given that's it's 8KW...
