That's not how it works. The car displays current rated miles based on the current capacity of the battery. The only way to find actual miles is by driving it from full to empty.

You can't compare that 164 "actual" miles to 140 "rated". That 164 miles of actual range is out of a new car rated range of 208. If your car is showing 140 rated then your actual is only going to be less than 100.

S60s had a rated range of 208 when new, 140 now is pretty bad. The 60 batteries were crap. Between that and the issues surrounding Supercharging, I wouldn't touch a 60 for any price.

It appears Tesla jumped the gun and posted it on findus and in the app but it hasn't cleared final inspection and has been showing as temporary closure on the app for a couple of weeks.

You had the choice to buy it or not, you apparently thought the price was "fair" at the time or you wouldn't have bought it.

Forget about Chademo, it's a dying standard. No changes are required to the car to use it but it does require a very clunky adapter that Tesla no longer sells and is limited to about 45kW. Your '13 S is likely too old for the CCS upgrade. The '16 X is definitely eligible for the CCS upgrade...

Yes, this was identified six months ago. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/supercharger-chestnut-hill-ma-200-boylston-st.314573/

I don't see any reason to get anything else.

Touch the map, the options icons will pop up on the right.

Seems normal to me. Both my S's and my 3 taper at the very top of charge on L2.

Using prefab units, which these are, sites can look complete very quickly but can still be months away from being operational. The real defining factor is the transformer. Was the transformer present?

That's why I got the Chademo adapter a long time ago when they first came out and got the CCS as soon as it was available. Don't use them often but it's come in handy enough times to be worth the cost. Most recently was a couple of days ago at the new Flo chargers in Prineville OR (first Flo...

It's in the Tesla app. Go to location which should pop up a map, move the map to wherever your interested and turn on the view chargers button (yellow circle) on the map. Click on the charger you're interested in and all the details are there.

Yea, my 27 stop day in NJ and around Philly is what broke my wife and caused her to tap out and fly home. She doesn't get veto power so that's her option.😄

To add what Usher said. "Ideal" range is a setting on the car that uses an overly optimistic energy to miles conversion factor. It is a Tesla only "pull it out of your butt" number. Nobody uses it and I'm surprised this setting still exists in the car. "Rated" range uses the conversion...

$0.44 kWh so about 15 cents a mile without the trailer. A trailer, no matter how light or short will add to drag significantly. I don't have experience with trailers so you should search other threads for info on that.

Our Supercharging.life is more timely than the car nav. On my current trip, Sisters had been open three days and it still wasn't showing up in the car.

The adapter I posted claims to work on AC also, the upper half alone is Type 2. I don't know how, or if, it deals with 3 phase however, that is an issue in either case.

I have trouble recommending a DIY fix to someone who is already having issues figuring out how to get someone else to do it.

He posted why he wanted to keep the car upthread and as an owner of both a '14 and '15 I have to agree with him. The only thing I want on these cars I don't currently have is faster supercharging which I should get should I ever have to replace the battery.

That's why I posted the correct adapter upthread.

Take it to your local tire shop, if it's repairable let them repair it, if not buy a new one from them. There's nothing magical about Tesla tires.

Going the adapter route would be this one. https://a2zevshop.com/products/a2z-stardust-plug-ccs2-to-tesla

You're not understanding his question. He wants to replace the charge port on a car that has the Tesla North American port to a European CCS2 port.

In the whole business debacle I tend to believe his version of events over that of the people that bought him out. In any case I have no reason to doubt his technical competence and many of his statements regarding pack repairs predate his service contract offerings. Edit: His statements...

Just read wk057's explanation in this thread and you'll see why #1 and #2 don't work.

Looks like you were at Sisters at about 9am? I just missed you, was on my way up to the ski area by then. I wish my wife would've let me get a new S when they had free supercharging transfers, but no, she wants to do stupid things like replace our 30 year old rotten collapsing wood deck.

It's a little more complicated than that. The ESVE advertises itself with a 1kHz PWM square wave as indicated in the chart below. Perhaps you are thinking of how the Tesla UMC knows the current rating of the adapter it has plugged into it, that uses a resistor.

What is there to report? I'm charging here now and the cords reach fine and the alignment seems to be consistent with other recently opened superchargers.

Not heading to the eclipse like the rest of you nerds but I am going to central Oregon for a week of spring skiing, first alert Sisters OR.

Is this eclipse traffic?

No problem, take your time.

Yay! Headed over there this weekend!

In over 300,000 miles of road tripping, in all lower 48, with over 2500 supercharger sessions, I never charge to 100%, heck I rarely go over 70%. Charging to 100% just wastes time.

I would advise against doing this unless you have a firm diagnosis and have an exact part number. I'm just a guy on the internet making an educated guess based off my 9 year model S ownership. Take it to Tesla, have them diagnose, then decide if you can get it fixed cheaper elsewhere.

Nothing to do with 12v battery. Im not sure where the HVJB is in this year car but it's not an easy fix and involves getting into the HV connections. It wont take Tesla long to determine the problem but it's not going to be a cheap fix. Edit: 2017 S has the junction box inside the Gen. 3...

Sorry I wasn't clear, the problem is with the High Voltage Junction Box in YOUR CAR. This component works with the onboard charger to direct incoming power directly to the battery in the case of a supercharger or through the onboard charger for AC input.

Probably bad high voltage contactor in the High Voltage Junction Box, fairly common issue. They said it works on home charger, #5 last paragraph. That's what leads me to believe probkem is in HVJB.

Well that's the important thing, isn't it? 😄 I wonder if it's because you and @1FrostySlime had your visits in predominantly Californina while @JSergeant and mine were spread across the country. It was sheer happenstance that this Tesla challenge came up when I was doing a big road trip...

Message in the App.

Seems like you should have but, as you noted, this contest was quite vauge. I'm not sure how many I had as I dont keep track of personal repeats, probably somewhere around 325.

Yay for me! I think? Supercharging credits wont help me much. Anybody else get one? @israndy @1FrostySlime @JSergeant

Chargers at both those locations use the Tesla connector but generally chargers at hotels are for guests only. They are both 10kW, 40amps @ 208v, not 16. These types of questions can be answered at plugshare.com.

I did the St.George to Page run in my '14 S a year and a half ago. I charged a little in Kanab but didn't really need to. I left St.George with 88%, added 5% in Kanab, got to Page with 20%. According to plugshare, the chargers in Kanab are pretty reliable. To use the fast chargers in Kanab...

Mobile service did the retrofit for me today, '18 Model 3; 2023.44.30.25. CCS retrofit button was in service menu. Everything went smoothly and it only took half an hour. Haven't had a chance to test yet. The initial estimate had a $138 labor charge for "compatibility check"in addition to the...

They are sending updates with the "recalls" on the 2022.8.10.x for branch of firmware for MCU1. It looks like at least the font recall was sent in .16 and .17.

Oh that's weird, I thought you were joking but it works!

Given the rash of reports lately, it's almost certainly a bad 14-50 adapter on the Tesla UMC. There's a bad batch of adapters out there.

My two old S's are still charging at the same speed since the big slowdown of June '19.
