    yeah GREAT community if you had not banned this nice individual a few days ago. Shame on you!

    Using TM-Spy to see Model S data.

    yes me too. Is there any website, or collection of data which adapter I really can buy without worries. How to solder what and where? etc.

    I think my car is lying to me...

    What was your dotted power limit before you put it into OFF state? I get dotted lines at 250kW at about 12% left and less than 100kW at about 3%. Power limit below 80kW means the car may shut down at any time after that. (Tesla Bjorn)

    Tesla Wall Connector load sharing protocol

    in case anyone cares, I fixed my missing inverter host by night and json key errors when it is just dark outside with some try/except statements. it is horrendous, but working as it seems. add this to the imports on top: import requests from requests.exceptions import ConnectionError and this...

    Tesla Wall Connector load sharing protocol

    Yes thats correct. You will need to multiply them by 3. The minimum charge rate would be 6A * 230V * 3 = 4.1kW. Since my solar roof does not cope this most of the time, I just switched off 2 of the 3 breakers for the TWC in my junction box in the house. This way I can charge from 6A * 230V =...

    2016 Model S 75 - Deafening Sound while Charging

    I had mine run the fans while charging at the house. but it was 20 times more silent. you would need to get close to even hear it. I can hear the pumps while charging all the time though.

    Model S - HPWC (High Power Wall Connector)

    yes it takes 22kW just to heat one shower. in germany thats quite common. they pump 3 phases x240V with 32A each into it, et voila: 22kW

    Tesla Wall Connector load sharing protocol

    Hi gingerbeer. Thank you for your question. I must say that I do not follow the used current for my charging habits. My power draw for the house is pretty much stable at a 200W all the time. (except when cooking) I switch charging off, or reduce the charging speed manually at this time. cdragon...

    TeslaFi.com

    28A*3phases = 84A. TeslaFi tells me on my 3*16A the same calculation. I think this is viable. I also think that your cabling may be a bit weak and you loose a lot of power with those 32A currents with heating the cables. What does it tell, if you just try to charge at 16A instead of 32A? might...

    Tesla Wall Connector load sharing protocol

    I get problems when the inverter shuts down at night and the network ip is unreachable. The script fails at this time and is no longer functional. I could come up with the solution of checking the reachability of the inverter with the module "tcping", but I am unsure if that is really needed...

    Finally I got my PV installed end of the week and all of this starting to make real sense now. I need to thank cdragon again and again, because I could never figure out the script on my own! I Modified the script to work with my Fronius Symo 7.0-3-M. This inverter has a builtin network...

    2013 P85, 60K miles, 238 max range?

    you hurt the battery more than doing anything good! its just for your giggles, but nothing more. every longer stay at 100% or every drain to 0% will hurt the battery. Just let it stay between 30 and 70 ALL THE TIME, and be happy to have a working car in 5 more years. If you want to see it break...

    Tesla Wall Connector load sharing protocol

    I want to add something to that, if thats ok: I observed something that might be interesting for some: EU chargers (of pre face lift cars) are capped at 16A*3*230V = 11kW. Thats common ground. But IF I set up 16A in the GUI the system charges actually at about 15.7A*3*230V (reported by...

    Tesla Wall Connector load sharing protocol

    For Nederlands, Swiss, Germany, Austria and (I guess many more) 3 phases Power is standard for homes and offices. My house has 32A *230V *3 phases = 22.080W max. Yes, it's just that easy to calculate. What you see here is the voltage from the 3 phases (like L1 to N) to the middle neutral = 230V...

    Tesla Wall Connector load sharing protocol

    Do you respect the EU 3 phase system and let it stay at a minimum of 5A (or 6A)=4.1 kW if EU System is determined? May you elaborate this a bit? Do I understand you correctly that you implemented this "stop charge" command repeatedly every 3 seconds? Or did you mean "Tesla API"? What does...

    Help identify this sound!

    Sounds (to me) like you get a waterpump bearing failing. Can not hurt to check if it is the air flaps in front of the heat exchanger in front of the car. (sometimes they move up and down upon start)

    Ok, never mind. It seems clear now, that you will need the python version for a Gen 2 TWC to be able to stop charging. I finished it now, and it works flawlessly so far! I put the pie in my heating room, connected with a twisted pair cable to the TWC. Did not want to mess with the TWC power...

    wow, just wow thank you for that perfect shiny piece of info. I guess you nailed it. I really hope Tesla expands its communication policy, so that those infos flow top down and does not need to be digged up from the mud of guessing, cleaned by some tech and measurements.

    Battery charge level drops significantly after every firmware update

    why should he? I never heard about this before. My charge level is exact the same as before the updates (I had about 6 already). If most/all responses are that way. He should should empower tesla to fix his car because it is not right. period

    Superchargers super-slow

    I own a 2016 S85 pre FL. I usually get up to 118KW on a low SoC when plugged in to a "new" SC. There are SCs that seem to be slower than others. For example: there is a 4 stall SC in Vienna that just gives out about 60KW max. But there is another 8 stall SV in Vienna "Neustadt" that gives the...

    Battery Heating May Have Changed

    I do not understand this behaviour. May you elaborate why this is happening? I thought that the car tries to conserve energy when the SOC goes down and not up! If the pack target temp goes up and the car heats the pack more, you would be stranded earlier than later of the car is just sitting...

    Collision Avoidance how to tell if it is working?

    Should I mention that it is not meant to be an "avoidance system" but a "limiting the impact system"? The handbook tells you clear that it just slows down so that the impact is less hard. With TACC or AP it should stop always on its own if the colliding object was moving before. It does not...

    ok thanks. but my question remains: why charge to 100 at a sc in the first place? if you just want to go from a to b, you probably don't need 100%. so you are just trying to find out if something is wrong with your battery. this you can find out by yourself if you measure the amount of energy...
