and to wrap this up: Telsa replaced the charging ECU. As a nice side effect now I have CCS DC fast charge ability. I can charge fine on the Enelx EVSE so likely I will send the replacement unit they sent me back to them unopened. It is a shame the Tesla didn't throw any sort of error for...

I'm going to make a few more posts on this thread as my situation continues: It turns out the Enelx may not be bad after all. A few days after this post I was continuing to charge L1 using the UMC and got a CP_a151 error on the car after disconnecting one morning. That error states that L1/L2...

And to wrap my findings: The outlets in the garage which gave 5/6A are on the (original) GFCI circuit, which has a 15A breaker and goes all around the house. (house built in 1986) Another outlet in hall from the garage gives me 8A. And a new circuit in the basement right below the garage hallway...

You are right. I checked the receptacle voltage with and without the charging load, and it dropped from 121v to 114v at 7A. The garage is 80ft from the service entrance, but as you say, it has to be the receptacle daisy chains that are adding resistance, b/c 80 ft of 12GA at 7A is not 7v.

After 2 years and two months, my Juicebox 48A died on Thanksgiving (one beep error code, then after a restart a two beep error code, tech said "Diode check failed") Did the "accelerated warranty replacement" option, so now am waiting for a tracking number. Anyone know how fast they are at...

agreed. Using the new post-holiday interface I listened to a playlist, then spotify started playing similar songs like it does, and I wanted to hear a song in the list again. Tried to click on the song, nothing happened. all the songs were frozen out. I used the "back arrow" on the play controls...

I got my M3P 1 year ago last week. I kept meaning to write a review of the buying process, but never got around to it. After a year is a good time to get it done, fwiw. Car is white / white. My history: First new car was 2004 STi. Had for a long time, then wanted something more commute...

Last Thursday my M3 started not having the TACC or AP available for the first about 15-18 min of driving. The autosteer icon and the MAX SPEED will flicker on occasionally but mostly stay off. Then after that time period, the icons come on and I can use TACC and AP for the rest of the drive...

Like others, my android app lost the steering wheel icon around a month ago, but it came back right around Xmas, Android app version 4.4.2 has it.

I'm not so sure it is dead. Democrats really want to pass something, so it depends on if Manchin can propose some alternative that the rest of the Democrats will decide is better than nothing and that something has the EV credits in it still. I think it is still possible (and I took delivery in...

Same for me, on android, just upgraded to 4.3 and lost the steering wheel heat control. Not using any widgets.

I got me M3P a few months ago, and have had a few odd phantom braking events here and there but Saturday i drove from MI to OH, and part of the way was on a two lane stretch of rural road that was 55mph. Traffic was light in my direction (no one behind me) but in the other direction was frequent...

I would love for some retroactivity, but I doubt that will happen. The idea behind the credit is to incentivize new buyers, so why give a carrot to people who proved they don't need it?

i called the local service center and got to the parts department. I talked to the rep and ordered the sensors. He offered to have Mobile Service bring them to me, and I said sure.

thanks, I'll call tomorrow see if I can figure what happened to the sleeves / nuts.

the Tesla Mobile Service guy came by yesterday and handed me 4 TPMS sensors, not in any boxes or with any packaging or instructions, just "hold out your hand and here you go" Pic of sensors. I think I am missing some mounting hardware, the nut and washers / gaskets that thread onto the valve...

I decided to mount the Enelx Juicebox 48 I put up a few weeks ago on the ceiling to give some flexibility to where I actually need to have the charging cable.This way I figure if I change cars or parking spots I can just move the cable rather than doing a bunch of re-wiring. Not the prettiest...

i've been getting this periodically with Spotify. Listen to a podcast then try to play an album and "Loading Error." it will play another podcast episode, but not music. Rebooting the UI seems to be the only fix, or switch to streaming from my phone instead.

yep. The OP has a some valid points with some of the UI gripes, but the operation of the charge port with an adapter is fine. I push the button on the J1772, the port unlocks, and then I "un-push" the button to lock the the adapter and J1772 together and at the same time pull them out of the...

I finally got my back-ordered since May JuiceBox 48A, and hooked it up and configured it and lo-and-behold I can set it to 44A. I set it that way on the Device Configuration screen, so I think it is as permanent as it can be for a piece of electronics. I will drop a message here if for some...

Nice driving! I suspect having better tires leads to better braking and that means you can be on the throttle longer and have less time to regen, and getting through turns faster means less time off the throttle, so the percentage of time per lap you were hard on the throttle vs me with my 2:xx...

I was surprised too. But again, I was stuck in a lot of slow traffic. My closest to clean lap was 1:58, the C8 I rode along with who wasn't running perfect lines was doing 1:48, but most of my times were like 2:15-2:2:20 due to traffic or wet track. It had been a long time since the STi, I got...

Sorry, just the Performance increase over the LR. I debated a lot over LR + accel boost + BBK vs. Performance and the idea of "track mode" was a factor in getting the P rather than LR + some reverse-engineered 3rd party software that can give more control over the car.

fwiw, my notes on the day. I had fun. Ran in novice class. Did 6 20 min sessions, charged the rest of the time at 48A. Got to the track at 250 mi range, left at 100 mi, charging put back about 280 mi, so used 430 mi. I didn't get a fully clean lap, most of the novices only want you to pass on...

1st Track day at Gingerman in MI tomorrow. Ran there a few times years ago in my STi. Just trying to decide how to manage my day. P3 stock except for XT910 pads. Some ideas: 1. Drive in Chill for first 20 min to dial in the track 2. Skip every other session and let the L2 replace what it can...

I just got my M3 and the fan is very loud, sounds just like what you describe, buzzing like the blades are hitting something Did you just get used to it?

And you are correct, I verified with a Juicebox user, the app only has the standard ratings 48, 40, 32, etc. Thanks for all the typing to clarify that. I guess I am stuck with 40A.

Not exactly. I am saying two things: 1. Code says 6 GA NM-B circuit is allowed to be used with a 60A breaker. I don't have the exact NEC section, but that is what he (and others) have told me. 2. Code says 6 GA NM-B circuit is allowed to carry 44A max continuous current. From those two...

yeah, as you may have discovered, the Juicebox EVSE is controlled through their app, and the documentation for that is non-existent (that I could find). You know apps these days, they are all self-documenting. I will find out when I get the device I guess. If I have to charge at 40A, so be it.

Are you sure you are talking about the Enelx JuiceBox and not a Tesla HPWC? You could be right, as I don't have a Juicebox handy, but I was told you could adjust the current limit in a fine-grained way. As to the upsize, I am confident in that, I asked the electrical inspector for my city and...

Now I wonder. As I mentioned up thread, I am buying a JuiceBox 48, and I read in their docs I can adjust the charge current limit to less than 48A, so I can set it to 44A, which would make it acceptable for use with the 6/2 NM-B, as the breaker can be as you say 60A. Honestly, 48 vs 44 vs 40...

picking up my white / white M3P tomorrow after work. got some mixed emotions no else wants to hear me go on about it so I'm dropping my thoughts here: on the minus side, not looking forward to: 1. first "expensive" new car in a while, last expensive car I had was a 2004 Subaru STi which I...

Reading more, seems you are right. The external ground I think is only for a detached building, my garage is not detached. Regardless, when we get a second car I will definitely re-check the code.

Speaking of the future, since you got one mistake of mine, I found another possible future limitation I may have painted myself into. I only have one electric car now (well will have in 4 days), but may eventually get a second for the wife. Like the OP, my service entrance is ~100 ft from the...

I was aware of the breaker rating upsize, but I see I missed the 44A continuous duty imitation for NM-B. Thanks for the correction.

yes, you are fine. for clarification, 6 GA is allowed to be connected to a 60A breaker, which will allow for a 48A EVSE. If you are installing a 50A breaker, then you would charge at 40A.

I just read about the rumored monkeying that Tesla is doing with the Model S owners who ordered before the 10k price bump. Their orders keep getting pushed back in favor of ppl with the 10k added. If the post taxcredit price bump every comes to pass, and someone locks in a price for their 3...

Yeah, the credits were in the infrastructure draft, then quickly got dropped. Most believe that the 3.5T will get whittled down a bunch, and I assume EV credits will be an early victim.

I stuck to my plan and waited until August, and now I restarted my order and will get delivery around Labor Day. Shrug, I don't mind the fact I waited 3 months for nothing, it allowed me to feel more comfortable with my decision. Will the massive budget bill have the credit in there? Maybe. But...

I am hopeful that this at least gets resolved in the next 2-4 weeks, credit or no credit, though with today's announcement seems like "no credit" is the likely option. been on hold since May 5, still planning on getting delivery by end of Q3 no matter what happens.

so I learned that when you restart your order that was on hold, you get priority and "go to the head of the line". So if I want the car in Sept, I just need to let them know that is when I want it, and that is when I will get it.

well restarting my order didn't work as I expected. Still in Q2. Sigh. Now I will have to reach back out to the rep. Obviously I have no idea how any of this actually works.

i restarted my order this morning, so hoping for end of Q3 delivery date. Hopefully I am not jumping the gun too much, I realize I could get the call if someone backs out or changes their order...not sure how I would feel about that.

I was told the similar by my rep. And it makes sense to me. Tesla contract says within 3 months, but why wouldn't they be willing to let you slide longer as long as demand is there and others are stepping in to take cars? If you stay on the list vs. just cancelling and possibly getting another...

M3P. Spaceship trim (white and white). I was a little worried about the proposed luxury cap on the credit i heard about, but seems like the bill just announced as out of the Senate Committee has the cap at 80k, so no prob there.

It's been 6 weeks since I placed my order, and 4 weeks since I put it on hold. I have gotten pretty used to not thinking about the order every 10 min like I did when I first ordered it (and first time on this site in a few weeks) so it does get easier ;) Still planning on waiting another month...

That high demand probably means it is harder to get the credits in the bill, i mean, why give extra encouragement when people are already maxing the supply? When I put my order on hold, i was told the price will stay the same unless I change something, so I can wait without worrying about...

deferring your buy for another 5 months to see what happens won't cost that much in fuel (more like $300-500), but I get it, having a new car now rather than later is a good thing.

Well now that I have put my order on hold, of course this will be what happens. So, you are welcome. ;) Seriously, the odds are low but I thought it was worth a little delayed gratification.

thought about that too, but if this goes through, the used market's gonna get kicked in the teeth.
