    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    You may need to physically go to your service center and literally state, "I would like to purchase a part." and show them this: Do NOT willingly offer information regarding your vehicle or what it is for. It is an over-the-counter, non restricted part. If they ask, just tell them it's for a...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    My suspicion is Tesla has decided to lock CC's to only ones that are issued by B&M Korean banks.

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    I promise this is the last post about my CCS retrofit. Headed to Leavenworth, WA to meet up with some friends at Icicle Brewing Company for a couple beverages and dinner at Watershed Cafe. — Got the SoC below 50%. Used the Electrify America at Safeway, the 350kW stations. I've seen reports of...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    Finally got a chance to test CCS (150kW max) this evening (Ocean West) on Electrify America units. Worked like a charm. My SoC was over 80% so I wasn't testing for speed or anything. Just that it actually works and no errors, etc. I'm extremely happy. Thank you so much, @FalconFour for all your...

    P.S. I apologize for the large pictures. I was accessing TMC through my phone's Android Chrome browser and uploaded the pictures from there and now I can't edit my posts with appropriately smaller versions of the pictures.

    Also, I found unused screws underneath the trim near the cubby... At least I hope they're unused because I just put everything back together... 😂

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    I did not. It got real angry. 😂 After hardware swap and install, I immediately started the update. After it was done, all errors cleared. EDIT: PS. Putting the actual trim pieces back together, CORRECTLY, took twice as long as removing it. That was the bulk of time spent.

    2018 Tesla Model 3 LR AWD (10/2018). Retrofit completed in about 45 minutes total. Tested L2 for now, confirmed working. Will test CCS and Supercharging later.

    Quick question. Do I still need to do the 12V and HV disconnect?

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    Well, finally went to a 4th SC and they didn't ask any questions and sold it to me. $140 + tax (then 10% CB on my CC). Now... To wait for the next FSD beta firmware update! Hunting down the ECU felt like a treasure hunt. 😂

    Looking for 1537264-00-B

    Well, all I'm missing is 1537264-00-B and I'm 0/3 of service centers which will sell me the part. One of them actually stating that, "It's a sensitive part and we can't just sell it directly to you." when talking with the SC's parts manager. So, if anyone is selling a 1537264-00-B, let me know...

    Tech was still on-site a few minutes ago when I swung around at 8pm. Won't be turned on tonight and wouldn't give me a definitive date (Smart man. LOL).

    I can vouch for this... When I left my car a bit too long parked at YVR in the loading zone to help my family at the ticket counter only to come back to a white notice under my windshield wiper titled "Authorized To Tow" ticket signed by an authorized YVR representative. As a scofflaw, I accept...

    Sooner than later if I back into a charger first! :D I checked on the site two weeks ago. Dang, they made a LOT of progress. Was surprised they got the pedastals so quickly. Most impressive. Can't wait!

    Charging amperage limit at home now is 48A?

    Then the maximum you can charge with AC is at 48A.

    Model 3 Am Radio

    Re: 2., I know. ;) Just stating that you're using a much more sophisticated receiver, especially ICOM units, which could possibly be much better at rejecting RFI/EMI than a typical consumer grade AM radio. Not all receivers are created equal. I've had AM radios that would freak out over CFL...

    Model 3 Am Radio

    #1. Curious, where is your IC-7100 drawing power from? (On-board vs. portable battery-pack). #2. You're using an $800 USD MSRP transceiver vs. a consumer/automotive "grade" radio on a chip/IC that's stamped in the millions per year, pennies on the dollar. ;) 73's

    Most likely they reassigned the VIN to another owner by mistake hence the dodging. It has happened before to at least a couple folks here on TMC...

    Be Safe Out There

    My initial reaction was the same as yours. However, if I were to give the benefit of the doubt to the at-fault driver, there could have been a scenario where: 1. There were two vehicles directly in front of pdamski that were turning into, ironically, a gas station. 2. Moments later right as...

    IC-7100 Ham Radio Install

    I'm extremely interested in HF performance. AM band was cut from the radio in the Model 3 due to RFI/EMI, but that only seems to be when the electric motors are engaged. 73s.

    Tesla J1772 to Tesla adapter price went up to $127 (Edit: oops, that is the Canadian $ price)

    I don't have to even click your link but would bet $5 USD that it's a link to the Canadian store... P.S. The U.S. price is $95 USD.

    Dashcam icon cowardly hides

    The file-system has to be formatted FAT32, AFAIK. It cannot be ExFAT or NTFS. Windows will "hide" FAT32 as a file-system type if the partition is over 32GB I believe if using the Windows-native file formatter. You have to use a 3rd party software in order to format the partition FAT32 in that case.

    Am at a loss: is the $2k FSD offer going away on Monday?

    Musk's tweet confirmed that EAP folks who currently have the $2,000 USD option for FSD will revert back to $4,000 USD on Monday. So you have now until then to decide.

    What the heck...Enhanced AutoPilot does not exist anymore

    TBH, I remembered quite a few posts where people complained that they only wanted certain features of EAP, namely only TACC and less so Autosteer. This seems like this is Tesla's response to those criticisms.

    Estimate RTA / tabs cost without Vin?

    Just a hunch, but if you're taking "delivery" of the vehicle at Tesla in Seattle or Bellevue, you're going to get nailed with the RTA tax on initial registration. Upon tab renewal, if you're outside of the RTA zone where the car is registered address-wise, you will not get charged. Only way to...

    Model 3: Turn Signals... ARGH!

    That why I started my post with "IIRC"... ;) I've updated it. The latest thread on it is here. And you're correct. It was two different issues and I got them confused. One was the steering wheel was off-center which required remounting and adjusting the steering wheel. The other was apparently...

    Model 3: Turn Signals... ARGH!

    AFAIK, it's software adjustable. Unfortunately, it's not "user" adjustable. EDIT: The above info I gave is INCORRECT. It might need to be fixed physically.

    Model 3: Turn Signals... ARGH!

    IIRC from people who have had this issue, it should calibrate itself after a bit of driving. If it doesn't, call support. It might require a quick service visit to fix.

    Brake hold was gone

    Yeah. This has happened to several TMC members. None of us are sure what caused it, but it starts working again after you put the car in Park, exit and then re-enter the vehicle. Our best guess was it's some variation of "Autopilot Jail" when something triggers this condition where "Brake Hold"...

    got approved for loan, then told they don't offer GAP for teslas?

    When I've leased vehicles, GAP was always covered by the leasing underwriter. When I've financed vehicles, I had to add GAP coverage as an additional premium through my auto insurer.

    Supercharger - Issaquah, WA (LIVE Oct 2018, 8 Urban stalls)

    You're right. I was being more facetious with that comment than anything. I ended up making it with 3% left. On-board Nav said I'd make it with 10% but I knew I was cutting it close so thought a charge of 10-15 minutes or so would be enough. Last hour of the drive, I completely turned off the...

    Supercharger - Issaquah, WA (LIVE Oct 2018, 8 Urban stalls)

    All 8 stalls were being used Sunday around 4pm. I waited in "line", about 5-6 of us, for about 30 minutes before giving up. Most charging up were Model S and X's, I'm sure with Free Unlimited Supercharging so... I decided not to wait for them to hit 100% charge.

    90% the new recommended SOC?

    I use to charge to 80%, but due to lower ambient temperatures lately, I charge to 90% because by the end of the day, I'm down to 25% vs. around 40% because I want to keep the cabin at 72F which is nearly 50F above ambient. I'm pretty sure I burn at least 15kWh a day (over a 3-4 hour period) with...

    Range reduction in cold

    Sounds about right. The biggest drop I see in range reduction (from all the factors mentioned previously) is usually from 60F to 50F. Once you're under 50F, you start taking a large penalty.

    Range reduction in cold

    I wish it was 100 miles each way, 200 miles round-trip, but alas, it's a little over 50 miles each way and about 90 minutes in freeway traffic. EAP was a requirement when I ordered my Model 3 and makes the commute much more bearable to the point it was actually a huge quality of life improvement...
