    40A Breakers Get Hot When Charging

    IMHO. Food is hot. Coffee is hot. I think everyone agrees what you said. People feel "hot" differently, and people hear sound/pitching noise differently. And, environments make things differently. But I won't call it's funny. And not everyone has the way to gauge the true temperature, or, for...

    Unknown Error BMS_a066

    Just update. I was able to schedule the service appointment immediately after this message, and they promised me the loaner since this is the "critical" case for the battery/voltage error. I was able to communicate with 2 separated Tesla advisors - One called me in the morning next day, the...

    40A Breakers Get Hot When Charging

    Thanks. Just hope this new setup can give me a peace of mind. My previous Leviton's X "hole" (for the hot line conductor) had the black burnout mark already. I believe it will start to melt sooner or later. It can't even "hold" any temperature during such high-efficient high-current EV charge...

    40A Breakers Get Hot When Charging

    Is there a way to test the temperature? There are many of us experiencing such "hot" issues, and you know it's challenging to figure out how hot is too hot. :) I'll post my new results later... Btw, besides Siemans' breaker, any other recommended brands?

    Picked up Model Y without paying

    My rep went to verify every step before releasing the car to me in the pick up day. He indicated that his app will deny his request o release/surrender my car to me if one of the steps is incomplete. I'll first check my bank account to see where the money is, then definitely reach back to Tesla...

    AMA about owning Modern Mercedes EVs

    LOL. This is very true. I come back this year since Tesla is the only one. It's the only EV which can provide and resolve my range anxiety, and it has no brainer price tags this year. :)

    AMA about owning Modern Mercedes EVs

    I was thinking of 2023 EQS SUV and EQE SUV earlier this year, and my MB dealers seemed to provide $7500 lease bonus cash. I didn't choose MB this time because of 1. Range 2. Charging network 3. EV services. 1. Range - previously I thought EQS SUV 450 4MATIC /350 4MATIC had ranges between...

    40A Breakers Get Hot When Charging

    Just the quick update. I've been using the new Hubbell NEMA 14-50 for a few days. It's great. I tried to use 32A, 36A, and 40A to charge for 4+ hours. And, comparing my old/junk Leviton's, I can feel the huge temperature drop from this Hubbell's. As others suggested, I'm also ordering the...

    40A Breakers Get Hot When Charging

    You guys are right. My original 2-1/8” box installed in Dec 2017 barely fits the Hubbell and cables. And my cables are #6 which are stiffer and need slightly more space. So in the end I got another 1-1/2” extension ring, plus another half inch cover. So this boosts my box depth to 4+” in the...

    Unknown Error BMS_a066

    Just got this same error a moment ago. ‘23 MYLR, 45-days old, about 1.4K miles, was using the supercharge first time last night for 20-mins. The car was preconditioning prior to the supercharge. All of sudden this error popped up. today. The driving ranges and performance have been good since...

    New Pirelli stock tires?

    This looks so much like what some of new MYs have - Pirelli Scorpion MS 255/45R19 104V ELECT PNCS. But, I don't think the one MYs have is run-flat... I have to check then. I don't know when this tyre first came out, did anyone get this tyre prior to May?

    From the pic the guy posted in 2018, and from what I found in mine, this particular leg/hole in Leviton NEMA 14-50, had the worst melting/burning marks.

    40A Breakers Get Hot When Charging

    I run the outlet check every 6-months and pull the socket from the receptacle. The last time I did was Jan. Everything was fine and clean. I was usually running 36A and doing 40A last night and found it becomes “hot” than usually. It is why I unplugged to check it again. Just placed the order...

    40A Breakers Get Hot When Charging

    Well. Tried to use 40A last night in my JuiceBox 40. The 14-50 receptacle and nearby were getting hot, which becomes something I don’t want to touch. The breaker remain slightly warm. Thanks @davewill suggested that Leviton is the possible culprit. I shut off the power and opened it up. It is...

    Charging with 220V 3 phases in USA Model Y 2023

    I thought I had Delta arrangement and I can get 208 or 240. But I actually only get 208 in any of two. This is why I said I have wye earlier even though the pic in my box displays delta. Dunno. Sorry to hijack the thread.

    40A Breakers Get Hot When Charging

    Can’t remember the brand. No physical sign or logo shows the original manufacturer. Maybe I’ll need to open it up in order to see it. I heard Leviton’s issue before but never read the details about it. Will try to understand it then. Thanks for sharing.

    40A Breakers Get Hot When Charging

    I won’t say it is “hot” and I think I can touch or hold those areas for a long time. I know my body/hands will feel hot and can’t touch/hold bath water anymore if the water temperature is over 105-110 °F. So I “guess” the temperature is around or below that mark. (Forgive my theory. I should buy...

    40A Breakers Get Hot When Charging

    I also own JuiceBox 40 since 2017, and I have the NEMA 14-50 along with 2-poles 50A breaker in place. #6AWG. I configure to run with 36A and 208V. There are 3 locations with the higher than normal temperature after I start charging for an hour. The NEMA 14-50 receptacle, the conduit nearby, and...

    Bought a New Mobile Connector, received as used one, WWYD?

    I received my Mobile Connector from Lathrop, CA, in May, 2023. The box seal was broken. But, everything insides seemed "new" without scratches. I guess someone during the delivery process inserted fingers into the box side and tried to hold/carry this heavy box then broke the seal. Dunno.

    Charging with 220V 3 phases in USA Model Y 2023

    Not sure if these pics can help. I’m not electrician and it is why I don’t open the panel cover in this old house for the shots. Here is the list of mixed pics. The new radio meter was installed 2-years ago, so I took pics when the power company guy came to replace the meter. They only opened...

    Charging with 220V 3 phases in USA Model Y 2023

    Wow. You got me more confused now. I know my panel has 4 big wires (blue/black/red/white) coming in from the top, 3 (blue/black/red?) in the middle, and 1 (white?) on the side. If I remember those colors correctly. We got either 120V or 208V. My wires go underground, so I won't be able to count...

    Charging with 220V 3 phases in USA Model Y 2023

    I’m not expert here, but my one family house has 3 phase (wye with 4 wires?) with 200 amp max. And I believe many houses have 3 phase too. Anyway, I usually got 208V with 40 amp (NEMA 14-50) to my car. If my house devices don’t draw much power, I might get 213V. If HVAC or electric heater are...

    Not surprise at all. Tesla sets the priority as all the supplies are for the new builds first. Therefore, we will be stuck in such situation for quite some time.

    New Pirelli stock tires?

    Same tires. Mine is Austin build MYLR in June. My tires were made in May. Based on Pirelli website, these PNCS tires do have foams insides. However, this tire can’t be found anywhere online from Pirelli, TireRacks, or others. I worry even Tesla shops or mobile trucks may not carry the spares...

    Build quality issues are exaggerated!

    Congrats!! May I know where your car was built? If possible, I do love to get the car like it, but unfortunately some of us didn’t. Some even had to reject the cars by the very obvious issues. And sometimes this may be all about how tolerable we may be. Someone can accept certain things...

    Tesla scheduled departure/off-peak charging not working

    I'm not using Tessie much, but I also learned that it's capable of getting lots of data from our Tesla EV via Tesla account. My local power supply delivery company, Con Edison, also has the program to connect with Tesla to see the charging activities and data, then credit you with 10 cents/kWh...

    Tesla scheduled departure/off-peak charging not working

    I agree. I'm looking for the same thing when charging at home, and still surprised that Tesla still can't come up with good interface to allow us simply schedule in between two "time". These days I'm not using my Tesla charger when at home. I'm starting using my old EVSE Level 2 JuiceBox, with...

    Just the quick update. I've been able to connect to my iPhone and play YouTube music. Still no idea of how this is fixed itself. Reset won't work for me. The best solution is to wait. It's just suddenly working itself, and sometimes it failed next days/week. I'll add this to my list of...

    Waiting Room for MYLR/MYP : May 2023 orders

    I have to say a lot. Many of buyers don't care that much. It's why Tesla is confident that they can re-assign the VINs to someone else. They most likely can find one taking over the car in the end. Otherwise, they will use it for the test-drive in the end. My car isn't "perfect". There are 3-4...

    Issues with buying once leased teslas?

EVs with loads of electronic components could make things even unthinkable. Recently you may see a thread talking about the used car...

    They allow the “small” defects, as long as these are fixable by the local dealerships. If they intercept all these vehicles, the production numbers will go down.

    I would reject it too. Wondering if you know this car is the newly build these days or earlier. Try to figure out if it was rejected as well by the previous VIN holder.
