    Blog Tesla Software Update Improves Speed Limit Sign Detection

    In upstate NY we have a lot of “End Speed Limit” signs. Ex. End Speed Limit 30. Which means do the State Speed Limit “55”. But the car just reads and registers the number on the sign! Also I drive a lot on State Route 40. And the car sees those signs and adjusts my speed limit to 40! And there...

    Info from Tesla - 277v feed to Wall Connector (HPWC) - Which Cars Support It

    Two years now. 277VAC 49mph on my 3 And 50mph on my Uncles Y. just installed Gen 3 at uncles house but only 240vac there. Sorry. But I did try passing DC through mobile charger. As expected did not work. Did 120v as a test. Did not fry it but flashing red light said NOPE!

    FSD Computer scheduled for 1/20/2020! Upstate NY. Vin 100710 dual motor. Went in yesterday for other issue and ask about upgrade and they said my car had the open work order for the new computer. So I rescheduled for Monday so I would not have to drive an enterprise all weekend while my car sat...

    Info from Tesla - 277v feed to Wall Connector (HPWC) - Which Cars Support It

    I used a 7-50R 50amp 5796. It is a 277V 50 amp receptacle and then I built a pig tail that I remove so there is no random dryer plug with 277v laying around. Use it daily. No problems at all. :)

    Info from Tesla - 277v feed to Wall Connector (HPWC) - Which Cars Support It

    My wishful thinking was hoping it was similar to a laptop computer power supply. If you supply DC instead of AC, it just passes through the rectifier that was going to turn it into DC anyway.

    Yes 7-50 NEMA AND ITS LIKE 30% faster then the 208vac that we have as non-residential 3 phase stepped down from 480vac Next I am wondering if DC will pass through and be used or if it will alarm out. Example: battery solar backup

    My included Gen 2 is in my girlfriends garage about 90 miles away. Using it at 20amp 120v for 6-7 miles/hr. I’ll try to remember to grab it the next weekend I’m there. That will give the Gen 1 another week of testing. Was getting 24m/hr @208v 32a. My guess is 30-32 m/hr @277v 32a. We will see...

    Nice info thanks. Looks like I’m going to install the 7-50 outlet on the wall and build a 7-50 to 14-50 extension cord. With orange and black “NON STANDARD 277VAC” stickers. :)

    Thank you for your interest and concern. I am of course being as careful as any electrical worker would be. And based on the information the first poster acquired from Tesla, I decided to experiment. Yes, don’t try this at home kids, I’m a self taught professional. As stated earlier the car...

    So, I did it! I bought a s/x mobile charger 40amp on EBay. And at work where we have 480V 3p power, I wired up an outlet 270V 1p+neutral(grey wire on 480v)+GND. Plugged in my Model 3. 42m/hr :) No problem with any it. Everything is purring along. Was getting 31m/hr at 208.

    I called Mass. and asked them about the fact I was in NY. They immediately moved me to Mt. Kisco and started the reroute. But I lost my delivery date and am waiting on a new time in NY. :( But I have a VIN and it’s on the train. :)

    I would double check that no sales tax thing. I just called NJ and they said if I didn’t have a NJ address I could not take advantage of the incentive because NY is going to ask for their sales tax when I get my NY plates! Also you will miss out on the NY $2000 rebate that you definitely qualify...

    I was told the DC has way more ability to work with you then the ISA. That’s their job to fill in the gap between original information at order and the actual information at delivery. And I have heard of at least EAP being added by ISA While dollars where being finalized.

    All prices are honored from your first Design date. Including delivery charge. Even if it’s wrong at the last page during your change. But you may not win time if for some reason today was the day they start making your original configuration. Buy what you love. Gaming the system does not sound...

    Pro Tip: the Tesla Wall Connectors must be wired with copper. $4/ft instead of aluminum $1.17/ft about. So for the 75’ run I had to do for my boss, I ran aluminum 100amp to a sub panel directly over the wall connector. And then ran the 100amp copper line only a foot or so into the unit. Gave...

    My understanding from my call was: They run groups of cars pretty much identical. Ex. AWD, red, white interior, 19”. If you change your design you could end up in a que for a configuration they just finished and have to wait for the next time they run that arrangement. And as she pointed out...
