New supercharger per Marco

Hey guys, recently my 2018 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD, with 57k miles on it, will not charge above 24 Amps on my home charger. When I look at the errors in service mode, I get an error from the Power Conversion System (PCS) saying the car failed to pre charge the intermediate bus resulting in...

Hello, I just pickup my 2013 M3P last Saturday and I'm confused about charging. I have seen sources telling to charge to 100% and others to go between 60-80%. What's the correct for the 2013 model? Attached pages I found online searching

Hi I'm about to order a new Tesla Model Y (LR) and wondered if anyone has experience on taking their EV's on long road trips across Europe. I'm planning a trip from - Dover to Hamburg - Hamburg to CPH - CPH to Karlshamn - Klaipeda to Krakow - Krakow to Smizany and the Bratislava - Then slowly...

I want to start going on some trips, but I see I'd have to supercharge it twice in one day. When I bought the model 3 the Tesla guy who took me to my car said only supercharge it once a week, if that to help keep the battery happy. Are people using Tesla's to travel, the guy kind of freaked me...

I'm investigating charging in the workplace and would love to get some opinions from fellow Tesla owners. Would you charge at your workplace if you could? Does a tethered / untethered charger make a difference? What impediments do business owners see when considering charging for their...

How often is too often to top up the charge on a (new) 2022 M3 RWD w/LFP battery? At the moment we're plugging it back in after even ultra short trips using as little as 1% of the battery. Typically this is twice a day. It kind of sounds like this is the right thing to do from the Tesla...

I love the idea of wireless charging for when I need it. This will likely make up about 2% or so of our use though. What I don't need is my phone to go through a dozen charge cycles on a quick 15min drive in to work, more on longer trips. For us, we normally have plenty of charge left at the end...

Hi All. Some mornings when I unplug my car, my battery has lost charge from the end of charging to my departure. For example: I set my battery to charge to 70% SOC with departure at 7:30a. Precondition is on but only on weekdays. Today (Saturday), I unplugged my car at 11:30a and my batter...

Hey Everyone, Just accepted delivery of a 2023 Model Y. This is the second day of ownership. Just parked it in the garage after having it outside at the office all day. Current temps are around 30 degrees. When I got home I plugged in and my app said "Battery heating for optimal performance". I...

I recently purchased a 2023 Model 3 and to my surprise it won't charge with my Siemens vg2 charger. I had this charger previously installed (and it works) with my other EVs, but when I try to charge my Tesla with a J1772 adapter, it errors, returning "Charging equipment communication error." I...

For those using OVO for energy they've released a new EV 'add on' tariff (more of a use then credit product) Info 👉 Introducing Anytime | OVO Energy Works out @ 10pkWh for charging of the car (car charging only) and usual standard rate 34pkWh all other times Pretty much all my charging is at...

Hi all, first time poster here. I'm testing driving a Model Y this weekend and will likely end up ordering a Long Range model. My biggest concern is charging - I currently live in a townhouse with no community charging. I do have a dedicated parking spot right in front of my house, and I have a...

Hi, I am a new model 3 owner and recently charged at a super charging station which had an idle fee after the car charged to the limit specified. But I dont think I saw a notification on the mobile app giving me a 1% warning that the charging session is almost complete. Is that enabled or...

Any pros or cons of buying the Tesla vs A2Z CCS adapter? I have 2022 MY that has CCS enabled. I ordered the Tesla adapter but looking for some guidance to see if I should return it and buy A2Z. My prime concern with 3rd party adapter is any chance that will Tesla lock it out through firmware...

I am a new MY owner. I took delivery on December 24 so I was fortunate to get the $7500 discount and 10000 miles free supercharger. Since thone free miles did not kick in until Jan 6, I decided. to go with the mobile connecter and my 20 amp household outlet that was already in the garage. There...

Hey All, Just thought of this while looking out across the street and seeing the neighbor's NIssan Leaf. Has been sitting there for several days now and normally they keep it in the garage. What if their battery was dead and they are waiting on Nissan Support or something or other to get this...

I am looking for some charging advice to save time on my first trip from Toronto Ontario Canada to South Carolina. Are there ways to help me map out the most efficient charging stops along the way. I am getting different reviews from fully charging, which takes 55 to 60 minutes compared to just...

2022 “Holiday update” seems to have also extended the list for 3rd party chargers to appear in the Nav for routing and battery preconditioning. Tesla have also outlined to rules for 3rd party charging sites appear in the list…...

Long story short, i was due to have a Tesla on lease 3 years ago, so during the process signed up for an account, but our company cancelled the orders. I now have a Tesla on order for delivery in Jan, so logged into my Tesla account only for it to say i have a £55.52 outstanding balance for...

Hello. I have a some sort of specific situation. I drive my 2022 Model 3 long range daily to work. I park in the garage where I can charge for free using Tesla wall Connector. I set my charge limit to 80% and charging daily plus leave it plugged in until I pick up the car. When I come home I...

I've gotta be doing something wrong- Initial setup of Wall Connector: Turned off iPhone's Cellular Data. Held button on WC and have single green light blinking (broadcasting). Phone "sees" the Tesla WC network and connects, but it disconnects after 2-3 seconds. During that 2-3 seconds, I am able...

I know this item has been discussed a few different ways, but I wanted to try something a previous user posted in length about, as well as get some insight of my own. For reference, here is the length of the post I’m referring to: How I Recovered Half of my Battery's Lost Capacity I fell down...

Tesla recently opened up their charging connector standard to be used by other manufacturers. Why did they wait until now? Is it too late, or could it become the dominant standard at some point? _____________________________________________________________________________________ This is a...

Hey all, I joined my condos BOD for pretty much the sole purpose of completing an EV charging project. The project was finally approved and the install started today. We pulled out a new electrical service, so needed a backboard, electrical panels, and meter. I might be overly paranoid here...

Will charging at non-Tesla charging stations (DC chargers excluded) damage the battery? Thanks!

I’m wondering if anyone else is having difficulty purchasing a CCS Combo 1 adapter from Tesla. When I go on the Tesla website through a browser, the adapter seem to be in stock and available to purchase. When I click on the link, it takes me to the store through my Tesla app and the charging...

Apologies if this has been asked but I have read the manual and it’s not clear. I have a Model Y which I am picking up in 9 days time and I already have a Tesla Wall Connector installed at my property. My questions are: - If I set set a time to charge using the car software, such as...

Does anyone know about Elcore nemas, it’s listed on Amazon as industrial grade but it’s also about half the price of a Hubell or Bryant...

Hi all, New owner here and was trying to charge my '23 M3 RWD on 110V for the first time today using a 25' extension cord (10/3 SJTW). The charge starts out great at 12/12 A, 118V, 1kW but then after about an hour, I get a PCS_a052 error. I tried the other plug on the same outlet but still get...

Got home tonight and it took a little longer for my Gen 3 Wall Connector to start charging. Usually, once plugged in the car starts charging almost instantaneously. Tonight, it took about 5 seconds before the relay flipped and the car started charging. The car ended up charging normally, just...

Just a random question guys, and there is a bit to it. I work for a small country sute in a large company that is currently pushing its green footprint. I will.be the first owner of a ev at our site with 60 employees. I spoke to my company operations manager at an event a couple of weeks ago (I...

Hi Everyone! I am working on a small personal project on growing charge station use. I have created this Google Form and was hoping you would consider taking it. https://docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLSdNQNWmZ04.../viewform... Thank you in advance!

Have an order on a LR model Y but have now been looking into the Rivian R1S (given space/ability to fit 3 car seats/booster) etc. One big question I have is why the difference in quoting home charging spec? Both home chargers do 11.5 kW / 48 amp. However Rivian is quoting 25miles/hr charging...

As the title asks; the delivery of my Tesla Model Y draws near and it seems it’s going to be falling this side of the year Q4 2022. Currently I live in a rented, terraced property but my wife and I have purchased a new build - currently being built which will have a double driveway and already...

I'm visiting family over Christmas and where I will be parking is out of range for the mobile charger. My initial search has lead me to believe you can't extend the type 2 end so I've got a heavy duty extension cable and a dry box for putting the mobile connector in to keep it dry as it will end...

Hi All, I am hoping someone can help me, i ve had my Tesla model Y a little over a month and i schedule charge at home with the Tesla wall connector (Gen 3) - single phase 32A. I have set my charging times using the tesla app on my iPhone by connecting it to the wall connector's Wi-Fi. The...

I purchased a 3rd party ev charger and had an electrician install it. From what I know it's a 3phase and the charger display itself shows 11.3kw charge rate on 16amps so it seems correct. Issue is on the Tesla app it shows a charge rate of 4kw. Not quite sure what the issue here is. Here is the...

This might be a stupid question but I have read that people should just plug in and charge when they get home. That's what I've basically done. Nomrally I use 10 to 20 percent of the battery daily for my commute depending on if I have to do things before and after work. I keep reading that...

Hello friends, I recently created an account here after not being able to figure out the cause of my charging issue. I have been lurking this forum for some time and it has been of great help fixing other issues in the past so I just want to say thanks before going any further. It’s a long read...

Hi All, Wondering if anyone can suggest what could be issue with my Zappi v2 and Tesla Model 3. I've had both since around April, never had any issues (and I charge every day) until about a month or two ago. Suddenly charging kept stopping after a few mins of plugging in. It would only happen...

So I have a 2017 Tesla Model S in which the Charge Port door opens but no Indicator lights, also the locking pin takes 12-15 seconds to drop down (unlock) before the charging cable can be inserted. Once the charging cable (Home Charger, Supercharger, etc..) is installed it charges fine. Finally...

Hey all! New M3P owner here. My delivery date was two month ahead of time so I didn’t think to start looking for electricians to install yet, though I haven’t minded charging with the mobile charger on a standard 5-15 for a few weeks. I live also within 15 minutes of a 250kw supercharger and...

Have owned my MYP for about 3 weeks now. Charging on Gen 3 Wall Connector, professionally installed on a 50A breaker, charging at 38A. I have noticed that the housing (part which connects to the wall) is pretty warm during and after charges, especially long ones. It isn't searing hot, but it...

I'm on the board of my COA and have been the project manager for getting EV chargers installed at our building. I just got some budget approved and we're going to start with 2 chargers, but want to have some room to expand down the line. We're going to put in two units, and I'm trying to...

Hi all. My M3 arrives in a couple of weeks and I’ve had my wall connector installed in my garage on the wall right next to where the charge port will be. It will be a less than one metre stretch for the 7.3m cable. So my understanding is that leaving the rest of the cable coiled on the hanger...

I know for a long time, Zappi had been the best charging point for integrating with a solar powered house. But now with other good CPs in the market, is Zappi still the top choice in terms of features, solar integration etc ? I'm deciding between Zappi and Hypervolt ... Does Hypervolt provide...
