Just happened to my 2018 model 3 LR - updated to v11.0 (2022.36.2) and lost my profile settings (except for one), my Trip history (one of which I kept to track my energy usage and efficiency since Day 1), all of my Homelink settings, my charging history (at least last paid charging session), my...

I've used Volta at Stonestown, EA at Safeway/Lakeshore/elsewhere (CHAdeMO and CCS), ChargePoint around the Bay Area (CHAdeMO and CCS) - 2018 LR RWD. I am using the Tesla-branded CHAdeMO and CCS adapters.

I had a whole bunch (dozens?) of the same low coolant warnings in service mode, but no warnings ever came up on the user-facing console. Tesla (supposedly) did a whole bunch of tests, including a pressure test and visual inspections, and they found nothing wrong. I was low by about a quart of...

I've charged at a Shell Recharge station with CHAdeMO and CCS (and Level 2 GreenLots). I had a bit of trouble with the CCS connector and communication with the station when I tried it a couple of weeks ago in Central California. It could have been (my) user error, since I was only starting to...

Because of my broken deadfront pins, Tesla is going to replace my charge port via Tesla mobile service in about a week. It looks like I'll receive a 2017-2020 (Gen 3) Charge Port per my Tesla estimate: 1449495-10-E

(sorry, off topic from the original thread - happy to continue via PM if others find this information to not be useful) Thank you. I also found a helpful YouTube video to show me the location of the harness connection and the instructions to power off the Tesla first. I just found a great...

Thank you, I didn't even think of OBD adapters, and a quick Google search opens up a new area for me to explore. I'll check out ScanMyTesla. I've manually tracked my mileage/wattage for all of my long drives since day 1 in Excel, and Stats has some interesting data. I unfortunately didn't use...

Would you mind sharing which program/data/website shows you this information about your Tesla's current battery state? I've been using Stats for a couple of years, and I just started a trial with TeslaFi. Thank you. I'm sorry to hear about the COVID. :( On my 200mi drive back home this...

Thank you, @abraha2d and @lynyrdM . The EA stations in San Francisco proper and the ones in Fresno are fairly new within the past 1-2 years and seem to be mostly the Signet chargers. (Funny, I initially though "Signet" was the name of the charging station since I've only started using the EA...

I love this information; it's bringing back my good memories of high school physics classes. I was an EECS major in college but only did the CS side professionally after college. I'm trying to get my son into more circuitry projects, though, and initially he loved the snap-in circuitry kits...

I just checked the Electrify America app for the stations I was at yesterday. All 4 stations at that location are rated "up to 150kW," so the Ionic was getting a really good ~140kW out of 150kW while starting out. I thought the Ionic's overall charging curve was quite impressive, especially...

@FalconFour makes sense - appreciate the info about the differences in charging architecture. Perhaps Tesla will "catch up" and move to the higher-voltage architecture in the future. @lynyrdM yes, apologies, meant to use kW as the charging rate. Also appreciate the insights about weather...

A few CCS charging reports with my 2018 Model 3 LR RWD: - Volta - 85% SoC - 11kWh (rated at 50kWh max, I believe) - EV Connect - 36% SoC - 41kWh then eventually 46kWh (rated at 50kWh) - Electrify America - 56% SoC - 53kWh then at 42kWh around 75% SoC (rated at 150kWh) At the Electrify America...

This is the part. Thank you for sending the technical service bulletin. Now I'll remember this as a "pin deadfront" - glad to know it's a fairly inexpensive item and straightforward to replace and check voltages.

I appreciate the clarification. Nothing in the box unfortunately, but at least with this experience I'll get it right going forward.

Hopefully none of you have done this. Since fast-charging cables always seem a few inches too short (why can't they be just one foot longer?), I broke one of my Tesla charging port spacer pins today. Hopefully Tesla can fix this without replacing the whole charging port. (Or, I may just use...

I haven't tried with my Tesla yet, but with my Chevy Bolt, at a Volta station, I need to press the release button on the CCS handle and wait a few seconds for the handle to receive an unlock signal from the charging station. I find myself fruitlessly tugging almost every time, because it just...

Another thank you and shout out to @FalconFour. I picked up my Gen 4 ECU from my Tesla service center on Friday and installed it into my 2018 LR RWD Model 3 today after validating my harness adapter from eBay. My car is now CCS enabled. For those who have done some amount of car interior work...

Trunk/Trim Removal: I've had the same plastic rivet remover/panel remover tool for at least a couple of decades, and it's always served me well. It may be good to pick this up for future auto and household DIY projects. It can definitely help with the Tesla trunk panel removal...

Thank you @FalconFour for all of your R&D and generous help to the Tesla community. My CSS 1 adapter from Tesla Korea made it to Delivered Korea today, and I'll have it shipped to California this week. I just ordered the eBay harness adapter and hope I can get a Gen4 ECU when I visit Tesla...

Thank you for the explanation. Hard to observe not being able to drive behind myself. :)

Interesting thread, as I was thinking about this while driving our new model 3 picked up this past Saturday. When lifting my foot off the accelerator and feeling the regenerative brakes kicking in at a greater rate, I see the screen showing the Tesla with brake lights. My question: are the...
