Thank You

Tesla Owners: I’m being assigned a role outside of the country and will need to leave my MY in my garage for several months. What would be the ideal state of charge to minimize battery degradation? It will be plugged in the whole time. Should I shut down the hardware as well?

Agreed, TACC is no longer available with FSD enabled, only auto steer. (Even though information prompt on single vs double pull says otherwise) I guess they’re trying to force more data collection from where users like me just disable fsd whenever certain driving conditions present themselves...

Great location for PSU parents, and traveling to games… Cracker Barrel location in State College gets real busy! THON weekend! Fantastic PSU tradition helping kids and their families fight cancer.

Thank You for sharing this, my Team and I were unaware that real time availability was active. This is fantastic news and will remedy multiple concerns for the users and our internal Ev charging administrator.

The YouTube video makes my point, off peak charging is a primary solution. It also states that the totals ignore other demands on the “grid” (while they’re really talking about generation) while challenges exist throughout the transmission and distribution, most of the discussions here are...

Not sure an urban planning simple solution exists with legacy infrastructure designed when the demand of EV’s wasn’t conceptualized, even though there were EV’s powered by the subway dc traction supplies in the 1930’s.. (Jay Leno has one in his garage) that aside, I think that a solid discussion...

Ok, glad your workplace has ample charging to offer you this opportunity. if your goal in driving an EV is to be truly environmentally friendly, the most impactful charging is off peak. I’m a power engineer, if people truly understood how utilities have to manage the peak demand with the...

Respectfully, and sorry but I have to: 2 phase 5 wire was last distributed in Philadelphia originating from the days of Edison vs Westinghouse ( via Tesla) arguing over ac vs dc (they both were right) and removed it in the late 1970’s.. as a young engineer I converted part of the Philadelphia...

You absolutely can associate a Tesla gen 3 charger to your specific vehicle via the configuration software if you feel the need to do so, the TESLA team allotted for this scenario Especially if it’s fed from your home electrical service. Ideally with you having a dedicated parking spot, it’s...

Contractually Tesla wants a minimum of four…. For them to manage the program. if you have 6 devices you need a minimum of 48 amperes.. but you can load share with only two, a leader and a follower. And you can load share on a single 30 ampere circuit if you chose to do so. there are...

Hire an engineer that isn’t beholden to the sales of a specific product.. I don’t want to disparage any of these small companies, yet we’ve moved away from several of them to a Tesla hosted solution for good reasons.

I’d suggest that you ask the Tesla owner to cover the Installation of a Tesla universal wall pack, ~$600 plus labor plus the circuit costs…. Say $2000 all in. That’s the level 2 they’re asking for anyhow, Set up a commercial power agreement with Tesla and let them handle the transactions and...

You can see the green sticker on the meter pan, final… ‘Apple maps says Morrisville, but 19067 is Morrisville and Yardley, I’d say this is Yardley Pricket Preserve .. new commercial development with Wegmans, restaurants as well as multiple apartments / townhouses.. From my perspective as a...

Moderator note: The first three posts of this thread were split from a general discussion thread. Yardley / Newtown Supercharger has meter installed and the green final inspection sticker as of 20 Jan 24. It appears based on the height of the bagged posts, that they’re V4’s while I likely...

In the application I’m deploying, we’ve purchased signs from Tesla that explicitly states that this is a fee based charger… the exact language I don’t recall… and I’ll post a picture eventually.. but what is charged is solely up to us. Tesla only wants one cent per kWh for their management...

Thus far Tesla has certainly been helpful in technical support, they’ve detailed the network coms for both the commercial transactions, their supervisory website and the group load sharing. While they have the ability to have a leader and five followers, we’ve elected to have groups of only 5...

Yes it’s a dedicated 208Y/120.. with 2.1/2% taps that will allow us to have the nominal voltage for a typ 208 system a touch high.. and there will some minor 120 volt loads at the application: scada power supplies for the telemetry, waps for the network, power supplies for the cameras, and...

I’m actually installing this for a 100 EVSE’s and have the order placed with Tesla for the equipment. We intend to use groups of five UWC’s load sharing 21 kW, and providing 50 ampere circuits to each device. The total load is served by a 500 kW transformer and a 1600 ampere switchboard...

Transformer lead times are still over a year.. I waited 19 months for a simple 500kva 4160-208Y/120 pad mtd mineral oil unit for a private level 2 application where we are deploying Tesla universal wall packs.. that will be installed a couple miles from this site, the only good thing has...

The NEC (national Electrical Code) and IEEE red Book define the neutral as a current carrying conductor and the ground or earth as a safety current path for stray electrical currents. One has potential (voltage) the other is intentionally zero under normal circumstances. (even if they are...

If this continues, I’d suggest you schedule service. My MY didn’t update for the first 5 months I owned it, eventually with AT&T changing cellular codes, Tesla called me and told me to update…. Even though it was connected to WiFi nightly and set to do so.. each time it attempted it would...

Got it back after 6 days in service…. New computer.. gui is radically different…. Hopeful…. They cut off the Uber credits before I could pick it up.. I guess I should have been happy that my five month old car got repaired.. and never complained..

So I’m holding my breath… hoping that my issue(S) with TACC that all the Koolaide drinkers voted me down on are all related to the fact that my Model Y has never once updated the software since I brought it home.. with the recalls and AT&T’s 3G mods, that have caused things to get wonky I...

I got a notice in my app inbox that “Firmware update required” update your firmware before February 22nd to maintain cellular connectivity”. LTE is working albeit slowly.. the vehicle itself is on v10.35.103. MY LR FSD. It failed to update the software on the day I brought it home, 11...

Now on month three, I think part of this issue is that the software has never updated from the factory default when purchased…. So I guess I’ll have to take a three month old car in for “service”. Really regret that I thought this purchase was a reward for both my kids graduating college...

I also have a notice that a firmware update is required in my inbox and the car is connected to WiFi at home and at work…. Note is From Feb 19. So I guess I need to take a 4 month old car in for service maybe they’ll fix the laundry list

I have the same question. A mylrfsd Purchased 11 Dec 21 and it has v10.2 (2021.35.103 ec4de7df8fc2) and it attempted to update the day I bought it…. Failed.. so I followed the instructions to reboot the console,(Multiple times) and powered it down completely…. software is current as of the...

I personally believe that this is all a function of TACC being integrated to FSD, and radar isn’t really required.. The Tesla AI folks tout all of it’s vision aspects and many say it has 50% more than us, meaning three cameras vs two eyes… yet I also own two Subaru’s that only use two cameras...

I’m surprised Tesla doesn’t utilize biometric sensors in the steering wheel to detect the drivers heartbeat and avoid the nuisance “apply a slight turning force” warnings when you simply are not fighting the car and are attempting to relax.. even treadmills have these basic features…. As a...

And to think I thought all of this was exaggerated, my 2 month old model Y was a mistake and I’ll leave it parked whenever a highway trip is required and take my ice F150 that won’t scare the crap out of me whenever I’m passing a semi truck. So much for sustainability and a $70k “investment”

Respectfully, I don’t believe the basics of adaptive cruise control that Subaru perfected years ago with their EyeSight is something that a car over twice the price is something that the buying public should have “known” about. I “assumed” that the complaints posted were overstated, clearly...

My wife’s Subaru Legacy likewise does much better than my Y and honestly it’s terrifying, really surprised that this is so poor..

So I guess this is phantom braking and or the plead for dumb cruise control… but Dear Lord, this is a nightmare to drive when approaching a semi-truck on a highway, the slightest deviation of the truck in its lane sometimes causes the car to react violently.. to the point where I’ve lost all...
