    DIY 14-50 Receptacle on a Post

    I live in a condo building with a parking spot that is in front of my window, and got the green light to install a receptacle on a post. Our building already has outdoor 5-15 receptacles with wiring inside a metal post that is used for block heaters, but I thought it would just be easier to just...

    Picking the best stall at a crowded supercharger

    If a supercharger is crowded, I'd like the car to recommend the best stall to use! I know this information is available because I called support and asked for it. I ended up staying in the stall I picked because the partner was almost at the point of getting less energy. I saw another car try...

    As per the title. Let’s assume a model S but may be a long range 3. Unit is connected to a 50 amp circuit 240 volt. (50 amp breakers). This is what we currently have for our Leaf and Smart ED. Thank you. John.

    Supercharger - Mt. Shasta, CA - 134 Morgan Way (LIVE 04 Jan 2018)

    (Moderator note: these posts were split from the original Mt Shasta Supercharger thread on 01-04-2018 — when it went live — and moved into their own thread because Tesla considers the new Superchargers a separate location even though they are just across the street. The new location has its own...

    Supercharging rate option

    Supercharging locations are getting crowded in some places. I believe it is time to add a very small, simple, though handy tool to manage supercharging. New button! By default, this is set to STANDARD for every location. User has the option to click REDUCED on the screen (or app) before...

    Cell phone charging

    I know this is off topic, but should I avoid charging my phone to 100% as we do with our Tesla's? I don't know what is myth and what is fact.

    Standalone electric meter + charger

    Hi forum. I'm looking for some options for a charger installation at a seasonal cottage. I currently have a 50A plug installed at the panel, but the location is less than ideal. I'd like to install a charger at a location away from the panel if possible at a reasonable cost. I had an...

    Free charging at work. Declining. Here’s why.

    I work in a very large office building where I have a fantastic dedicated parking spot. It’s right next to the elevators, never gets blocked in and is extra wide, with the additional bonus of an unused walkway immediately adjacent. In other words, massive and convenient, where I can also...

    Kapital Electric in Chicago

    We're taking delivery of our Model S on Friday and before we did we wanted to make sure everything was in place. Most import to us was getting a 240V out to our garage. We live in a condo building in Chicago-proper and knew this was going to be expensive but the guys at Kapital did an...

    Supercharger - Fishers, IN

    Indianapolis currently only has one supercharger located on the South side of the I-465 loop around the city. I just heard that we are getting a new Supercharger located in Fishers, IN in 2018 (Northeast side of town). Telsa's website confirms this by showing "coming soon" and lists "opening...

    New Tejon Ranch supercharger location

    I just checked Tesla supercharger map and it shows a new supercharger coming at the end of 2017. Not sure how accurate it is but it shows it as on Lebec Road prior to the existing one. Does anybody have any information related to this location? Thanks,

    Non Tesla charging at destination charger

    Pulled in to my favorite watering hole, Sierra Nevada Brewery for a quick beer and electrons to find Toyota Rav parked in one of the destimation charger spots ( they have two Tesla, 2 j1772 and a 50 kw ccs). Two leafs had the j1772s which left me the last remaining Tesla charger. As I pulled...

    Casa de Fruta Superchargers (east of Gilroy, CA)

    Looks like a bunch of superchargers are being installed at Casa de Fruta. This could be good news for people heading over Pacheco Pass and would relieve the existing Gilroy location. Strangely they're not currently on Tesla's "coming soon" map nor on supercharge.info. Maybe someone in the area...

    Electric Ocean Cargo Ship with Wind/solar Charging stations along the route

    Electric ships have been popping up but most I hear are either ferry boats or short range shipping. For a half million ton oil tanker to be electric , it needs to be charged along its route. How feasible is it to have anchored or semi-floating wind/solar powered mega-chargers along busy...

    Charging a Model X at 240v 16 amps vs 32 amps

    I have a L6-20 outlet in my garage so I was using my UMC to charge with that. The only problem is that it only charges at 240v 16 amps on the 20 amp circuit. Last night I installed a Tesla hpwc on a 40 amp circuit so it charges at 240v 32 amps. However, when I charged this morning, it seems...

    Tesla’s new truck charging connector?

    Once again, Tesla seems well ahead of the “standards” organizations with their Tesla Semi and associated charging port. Pictures from the semi reveal show a proprietary charge port with 8 high current pins. If each pin pair could only do 120 kW (current Tesla charge port limit), then that’s...

    Group buy for portable charger?

    Just gauging interest for now. Saw all these recent threads about a dash cam group buy, so I thought there were also other essentials we could get at a discount. My other car is a Pacifica Hybrid, so using a Tesla charger exclusively didn't make sense. Despite the local incentives and rebates...

    2017 Thanksgiving Supercharger Report Thread

    First Hypercharger Locations

    I'm betting along I-5 about Sacramento to support the high density of long haul trucking from Long Beach heading north. With another location at Ashland and Medford, OR, Tesla will connect two large shipping centers.

    The Solar Semi Range Extender

    While putting solar cells on passenger EVs doesn't make a whole lot of sense, it may be more practical to put them (and maybe some storage) on the trailers that electric Semis pull. Think about it: Lots of flat surface area Typically in the sun a lot Appearance is not an issue Even when not...

    Tesla Megacharger Location thread

    So now there is a working copy of the semi out on the road. I'm presuming that given it's much faster fast charge rate, that it will only be able to use the new Megacharger Elon referenced in his presentation. The design of the Megacharger has to work with the semi, so presumably they have built...

    Second HPWC Installed (pics!)

    Got our second HPWC installed today. Both are fed 100A circuits from a 125A subpanel I had installed with the first HPWC about a year ago, and they are configured in a master/slave setup. Either car will pull 72A individually, or when both are plugged in they drop back to 40A each. I saw a...

    Miles you expect to obtain from friends, destination chargers, etc. but not from Tesla Superchargers

    Answer only if you’ve owned your Tesla for 6 months or longer (all units in miles). Include informal charging from hotel wall-sockets and RV Parks' NEMA 14-50s — basically anything other than the Superchargers, and not in your house. For this question, please also exclude your main business...

    Nema 14-50 to L6-20?

    I have a Tesla coming and my home has an existing L6-20 outlet in the garage. I know that it's not great since it's only 240v 20 amps so it will only charge at around 16 amps but it's a lot better than 120v charging. It worked out well for me when I had a Nissan Leaf. I'd like to at least...
