    NEMA 14-50 home charging advice

    Your voltage drop could be concerning. It depends on if it falls into the expected range. There are tables for any given gauge of wire (need to spec Al vs Cu) at any given amp draw, per foot of run. If the voltage drop exceeds expected, then something is consuming power on the run and...

    NEMA 14-50 home charging advice

    Just to clarify, 25 amps is 5kw here. This is 208 service.

    NEMA 14-50 home charging advice

    So, I installed the Hubbell. Yup, it makes a difference. It is only 54 degrees right now, but the plug has been pulling 5kw continuously for 3 hours now and the outlet is in a brick wall with a cover so I doubt the mild outside temp plays much of a role. I unplugged it and held the prongs in...

    NEMA 14-50 home charging advice

    I have a 6-50R Leviton installed at both home and office. The office is where I mostly charge. I plug and unplug every day. The Leviton does get warm. Not so hot you can't touch it, but hot enough, maybe 120 or so? It is also in the sun sometimes. Also, I only charge at 25 amps at the...

    Is it okay to charge to 100% if I am immediately going to use it right away?

    @AAKEE I compared 6000 cycles at 10% added charge to 1000 cycles of 60% charge and both ended up at about 93% on the graph. So that is an apples to apples comparison that tells me there is no reason to not run the battery up and down a bit. But I know of no way to know what micro charging...

    Is it okay to charge to 100% if I am immediately going to use it right away?

    Looking at the graph and doing some rough eyeballing. Looks like at least the top 4 lines are all the same as far as battery degradation when compare total kwh of charging rather than number of times it is charged. For example, the best curve is the 76-65, or in other 10%. Compare that to the...

    Rear Seat rattle noise on Plaid.. Solution Found!

    Not sure why you would monkey with it. It is a warranty item. My plaid did it, but only when someone was sitting in the seat. They replaced the latch and it stopped.

    Plaid Vibration around 38-42MPH....

    I have the same/similar issue. The car vibrates starting about 35mph and mostly gone by the time you hit 45. It is most noticeable under light acceleration as you move through those speeds. At heavy acceleration you only spend like .5 seconds at those speeds and probably just don't have time...

    Adjusting Charge Rate Based on total household power draw on the fly. Possible?

    I have it working. I am using the Emporia energy monitor to real-time track my wattage. This integrates with my UD ISY which also integrates with my Tesla. The ISY turns charging on when I drop below a certain wattage and then turns it off when I go above a certain wattage. I put 4kw of...

    Adjusting Charge Rate Based on total household power draw on the fly. Possible?

    I found a complete off the shelf solution. Emporia Energy makes a system that will track your total kw as well as up to 16 individual circuits. They also make an EV level 2 wall charger that integrates. You can have it adjust your car charging based on current watt consumption. The package...

    Adjusting Charge Rate Based on total household power draw on the fly. Possible?

    I think I may have solved this. I have a universal devices ISY. It has the ability to add the Tesla to it and view/control pretty much everything. I had installed it, but abandoned because it wasn't letting the car go to sleep and was killing my battery. I found out that you can turn that...

    Adjusting Charge Rate Based on total household power draw on the fly. Possible?

    Just turning it down to low charge rate doesn't really solve the problem. Even if I charged at 1kw, it would end up raising my max from 20 to 21 since no doubt at some point I would otherwise hit the 20kw mark as I seem to do every month and this would just add 1 more. And 1kw charging speed...

    Adjusting Charge Rate Based on total household power draw on the fly. Possible?

    Thanks for the reply, but I need this to be automated. The power usage goes up and down by the minute. I need a way to monitor the power usage and then automatically increase/decrease the tesla amps on the fly. I have a home automation system (ISY) that can control the Tesla, however, it...

    Adjusting Charge Rate Based on total household power draw on the fly. Possible?

    My power bill is at least 50% based on max power usage, not total energy usage. The utility keeps a running 15 minute average and whatever the worst 15 minutes for the month was, I get billed roughly $12/kw. So if I peak at 20kw, then that part of the bill is roughly $240. I would like to be...

    "Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!

    Yes, just asked a neighbor who has a 2022 (I assume, got it in Jan) and he reports the same thing. I'm leaning toward this being an electric motor issue. Magnetic fields not aligned correctly with a cold motor?

    "Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!

    Picked up my S Plaid 6 weeks ago. Noticed from pretty much day 1 a vibration at roughly the speeds described here. I feel it primarily in the accelerator but also slightly in the Yoke. It seems like it is just when I first set off in the morning as I fairly gently (at least as far as Plaid...
