HPWC

Just took delivery of our Model 3 today and finally had the opportunity to thoroughly test our dual wall charger set-up. It works like magic! Two HPWC’s sharing one 100 amp circuit. From the HPWC installation manual: The Wall Connector includes a feature whereby Wall Connector to Wall Connector...

I have a circuit that is no longer used and has a 60 amp fuse with 4ga aluminum wire in a 3/4 inch metal conduit running to where I could install a HPWC. Looking at the FAQs in installation manual it says Copper feed only. Is that true, the internal connectors are not AL/CU rated? The model 3...

my car is in for service and I have a loaner for the night. When I got home I plugged the loaner in and the “unable to charge” close port and press the brake message popped up. It’s still charging and I need it to charge to make it back to the service center tomorrow. Can anything negative...

Hey Guys, Just a FYI. I reached out to Tesla and as of this morning, they told me that the delivery dates for the Signature Black HPWCs from the referral program were pushed back to sometime in June. Just wanted to give the community a heads-up if you were expecting deliveries next month. Best...

I'm looking to get an electrician in CT to install a HPWC. Any suggestions? I've tried the Tesla find an electrician page but only 2 results came up.

So I learned today that some places require a disconnect switch for circuits above 60A (please correct if wrong). I searched disconnect switch for 100A circuits and they are expensive. It seems easier to just install a 100A subpanel as a disconnect switch. Does this count as an appropriate...

Hello, I currently have the 8.5' charger which is too small for my needs. WTB the Tesla HWPC 24'. If you have one, PM me. I can pick it up locally (SoCal) or send Paypal. Thank you!

I plan to mount the High Power Wall Charger inside the garage as I hope to keep the car indoors a LOT, but I realize that I will be lazy and want to charge outside. I currently have a J1772 setup this way. I ordered a 3D printed holster for the J1772 so that I can leave the cord outside...

hi all, “New” house and looking to daisy chain 3 2nd Gen HPWCs. Thinking it would be awesome to have these as all black, so looking for another couple, or 3 - indeed, anyone have one yet? :) Thanks, Mike

We moves to a new house and I don’t need the long cable anymore. So I’m selling my 24’ Gen 2 HPWC. It was used for about 3-4 months max before we moved. Comes with the box and all the accessories! Asking $450 shipped or $400 for local pickup.

Tomorrow, I am taking my Model 3 to El Mirage dry lake bed. I'm leaving LA around 9, then charging at Rancho Cucamonga to minimize range anxiety. Then I am going to do some runs there and head towards Palmdale to go to a restaurant called Vincent Hill Station that has 3 HPWC. Then making my way...

About 12 degrees out, just came back from work (41 miles) plugged in at 36% to hpwc at 48A and I hear this: https://photos.app.goo.gl/a20WH94Egyh8LoME2 Something just frozen? Or 96 Mile drive to the service center tomorrow?

Done some research on this trying to see how I can maxmise use of solar while ensuring I still have enough charge in the Powerwall and car by a set time of day. It seems you can't at the moment unless you use an OpenEVSE charger instead and use code to control the charge rate. Some have modded...

Hello everyone, I'm looking to buy a signature wall charger, or alternatively your spot for it. Please feel free to PM me. Thank you.

I'm looking to buy the black HPWC that Tesla gave out as the first reward level. PM me with your total price shipped to zip code 18104 (Allentown, PA). I can give you referrals from people I've bought/sold from on these forums. Thanks.

So, Tesla has added to its 'findus' web-page a 40-slot Destination Charger near the Denver Airport: Fine Parking ( <- Plugshare). Tesla's site indicates it to be 'up to 16kW', but one Model S driver indicates it to be closer to 1kW, via Plugshare. The parking seems to be upscale parking called...

I just took delivery of my MS75D a little over a week ago. Due to recent snow storm I haven't driven my MS in almost 2 days so it's been parked in my insulated garage and plugged into my HPWC. I recall after parking my car the app telling me that my charge completed with a range of about 226...

Yesterday we had a major snowstorm in the northeast US. My Tesla Model S was parked outside, and plugged into my Tesla Wall Connector (WC). When the snow was over, the snow removal crews were clearing the parking lot at my condo, so I went out to clear off the car and move it so that my space...

My story I started 2017 with a (pre-owned) 70D Model S having 12,000 miles and only 3 months of experience driving it. Houston lags many other municipalities in local charging. The year started with one L2 charger at 8 miles from my house and one Supercharger at 23 miles from my house. The...

I have two pretty much brand new Tesla High Power Wall Chargers These are both Gen 2 that can be linked together and load share. We’re in the process of moving and i had the electrician wire in two new chargers for our new house and won’t need these anymore. They come complete in their...

1st time plugging Model 3 into my home HPWC. Chargeport light flashes yellow and only charges at 16 Amps. Unplug/Replug and try to "Set it" harder (up/down/left/right) several times. No matter what I do, there is loud clicking as if the chargeport is trying to "lock" into the HPWC cable but...

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...

I am a Model 3 reservation holder and a, (not so) patiently for my new vehicle. As this will be my first EV, I am exploring charging options for my home. I am leaning towards the Tesla Wall Connector. On the LADWP page for the EV Charger Rebate Program, it states "rebates will only be...

I wanted to know about how to plan a route to Kirkwood with a 70D for skiing. Sometimes I will do a 1 day trip and other times I will stay in South Lake or Placierville. Are the destination chargers busy at Kirkwood Mountain Resort? How much does it cost to park in that section? Any tips...

I know that it's recommend that you don't supercharge when you don't need to for the sake of battery wear, but how about using the full HPWC capacity? Is daily 72 amp charging ok, or is it better to keep it lower unless you need a quicker charge?

I got home from work and plugged in to my HPWC. I normally get 47/48 A 37 mph charge at 12kw an hour. In the middle of the night the wind was owing hard and the lights flickered on and off for about 10 seconds. I went out to the garage to check, and the car had some errors thrown up about...

I’m an M3 res holder. The other day, following a major power outage in our state, my neighbor, an engineer, told me that when I get the Tesla, it can "power the house" during outages. Is this true? Is a Tesla a PowerWall on wheels? I’m sure it’s not that simple. Has anyone used an EV to power...

I'm having three different electricians (overkill?) come out to my house on Friday the 13th to provide estimates for HPWC installation. Anything I should know? Or ask? I'll let you know how it goes...

So the pilot signal in my HPWC appears to be dead. The unit has power. The green light is on. I can still charge my car with my UMC (really glad I installed a 14-50 too). I plug the HPWC into my car but nothing happens... I've pushed the reset button and I've cycled power several times...

Hi Folks, I just installed an HPWC using the 6AWG copper wiring from my 14-50 outlet. I set the dip switch to 0 for test mode and flipped on the breaker. The HPWC behaved exactly as the manual said, green lights, sound of contactors activating, followed by a solid green light on top and red...

Would like a new/like new HPWC. PM, or post what you got. Thanks,

I purchased a second wall charger in anticipation of our Model 3 and for a while considered mounting the charger on an outside brick wall. I ended up mounting it in the garage instead; however, this was my idea for protecting the wall charger from our strong north Texas rain storms. (I apologize...

New in box Located Hamilton

Our 2 year old HPWC stopped charging our car and we got a replacement but I expect one of you smart TMC members can fix it or otherwise put it to good use. It seemed to boot up normally with the green LEDs on the front and the car would recognize when it was plugged in but charging would not...

I am taking delivery of my X75D this afternoon, and my electrician is coming this morning to install my HPWC. (I know....nothing like waiting till the last minute! Today was the soonest my electrician was available.) My Model X does NOT have the 72A charging option. How should my electrician...

Bought this for a family member and ended up not using it. 24" Gen 2 HPWC The box was opened but never install. Prefer local buyer but open to shipping. Located in Brea, CA $475

I have an early HPWC... I received it in about April of 2013, just before I got my car. It had the original "small" fuses that had issues when operating at 80A. Tesla offered (physically) larger replacement fuses at the time, but I never did obtain a set, and as I was operating on a 50A circuit...

For someone who has installed the Tesla HPWC using the top entry bracket - where is the bracket mounted relative to the wall stud? Should it be centered over the stud? I’m running the conduit for my circuit and I need to know where it should come down the wall. Thanks for any info!

Hey all. Will be bumping up my electrical panel capacity allowing me to finally bring full power (100a circuit) to my original HPWC so I’ll be able to charge at 72a vs. 40a (used to have an S with the original dual charger which would have given me 80a but I have upgraded to an X with the 72a...

EVCharge4U provided me with an outlandish quote for an install right next to my main box, so I need a second opinion. Please let me know if you've had a good experience with a Tesla-knowledgeable electrician for a HPWC installation. Thanks in advance for any info, Rich

Install of our new charger is supposed to happen in the morning. I'm just having second thoughts about my "ask forgiveness instead of permission" approach... We do own the building but it's in historical district. I'm having visions of the county coming and ordering us to take it down after...

In anticipation of my contractor's pending visit, I went ahead and ordered my HPWC. It signifies my first official order of a Tesla product (not counting my deposit on the M3). Felt pretty good like it is starting to get real. I went with the 8.5 ft since it will sit on the wall exactly opposite...

As title said just finished installation of HPWC for my model 3. I know it's a little early but my electrician installed it as part of my Solar PV system. Lights come on Green, but can't test since I don't have a Tesla. Anyone on the west side of SF want to get a few KW of Solar powered energy...
