HPWC

Electrical work begins tomorrow on the barn/garage. New 200Amp service with HPWC and 14-50R branch circuts for the S. The 14-50 will be a backup for the HPWC. After we do the testing on the HPWC in test mode, I plan on setting the DIP switches to 80 amps as it is going to be on a 100 Amp...

What do you use for charging at your home? note - I am posting this in the Canada forum as Canadians may have different responses given the financial incentives for installing a charger at home (at least in some provinces)

Hello, I have dual charges installed and at home 3-phase 53A power, although the wall mount is still single phase until three phase rolls out. Just checking with you all that 16A is expected power charging rate? 17km/hr 245v 16/16A thanks all.

Tesla website lists three "Tesla Recommended" electricians on their website; wondering if anyone in the West Los Angeles area has used Intelectric and could provide their experience with them. Thanking you in advance, Monymgr

Tesla website lists two "tesla recommended" electricians on their website; wondering if anyone in phoenix/Scottsdale has any experience with either of them? I'm looking to get a HPWC installed - just ordered my 90D and now I've got until "December" per the website to get my charging set up...

I have had my Tesla for 6 months now and love it. Living in Riverton Wyoming I'm considering using the referral credits I have to buy some HPWC's. I would try find some spots to place them around Wyoming in locations that aren't getting Superchargers before the snow hits. If I don't use the...

I'm having an 80-amp HPWC and a 50-amp NEMA 14-50 installed at my house outside Harbor Springs this week. The installer (Squier Electric) will run the self-test during the installation of course, but I won't have any time to drive up there before next spring to verify whether or not it'll...

I only have a single charger on my vehicle, but purchased the HPWC because I wanted to keep my UMC in the car at all times. When the electrician was hooking it up, I had him go ahead and install it on a 100amp breaker in case I ever wind up adding the 2nd onboard charger in the future. Since I...

What is the HPWC Warrantee period. The green charging light stopped working about a month ago but I did not take much notice as it was still charging the car But yesterday it stopped charging the car @ 195 miles. A "no power from charger" warning from the car , I checked the breaker and all...

If I were to order a HPWC from the Tesla store today, how long would it take for them to process the order and ship it based on the experience from those of you who have done so? Thanks, Jeff

So.. my 14-50, due to reasons beyond my control, and investigated by PP&L (power company), my car keeps dropping from 40 to 30 amps. and it's stupid. There's nothing wrong with my connections, wiring, outlets, etc. etc. etc. (6 gauge, (even though it's all of 3', and could be 8), nothing gets...

I understand the math behind it, but I don't understand the limitation. The Model S onboard charger supports up to 10kW which is about 29 MPH charge rate. On my 240V UMC at home, I achieve that rate. I don't charge publicly very often and the first time I charged at a Tesla store, I was...

Does anybody know yet whether the HPWC for the MX is the same as that currently being sold for the MS? I'll be installing one at my home plus one other location, and the electricians are there right now...

I met a local Tesla owner looking around on Plugshare, so that's a good thing. He has his HPWC, 80 amp, shared. But he's never had anyone ever ask to use it. Is it worth it to post your HPWC on Plugshare? Anyone have any concerns that it tells the world you have an expensive car at your address?

I'm building a house & I had my electrician run a dedicated 100A circuit for my HPWC. In my case, the service entrance & breaker panel is on the side of the house opposite the garage. So the total run of the wiring is probably around 80 feet or so. I know he used copper 3 AWG as called for in...

Anyone connected their HPWC to a NEMA 14-50 outlet. Can you show me your wiring setup, some pictures of the connections and cables? I am interested in trying it out. Thx

I am going on an ICE trip (no flames, please - I'm not an owner yet) in a month to Moab, UT and beyond. If I *had* and EV, I'd take it, so no calling names. However, I would have to leave the (amazingly!) well-populated SuperCharger route from Colorado Springs, CO to go off-highway to visit some...

Did everyone put their HPWC near the garage door (as recommended by Tesla), or did you put it by the breaker panel at the house wall? And if you ran a lot of cable, did you pull wire underneath drywall or use conduit?

Ok, I got a little carried away. Added a couple amp/volt meters, along with a KWH meter so I can see total of what the car uses.

Tesla’s Putting Charging Stations In New York’s Parking Garages - Fortune tesla is trying to drive sales in NYC by partnering with garages to install pay-to-use HPWC's.

During night time charging i almost always get 64amps sustained for as long as i need to charge (HPWC dip switches set to 64) but during the day if i flick a few things on like computer and lots of lights and/or run the AC in the house, it'll sometimes drop to 48amps and the car will display...

For the first time in nearly two years of owning my Model S and charging daily with the HPWC, I arrived at my car to find that it had not charged and the light ring was Red. I quickly noticed that the HPWC was not lit up at all (no green light). I figured it must have tripped a breaker, but...

I'm in the planning stages of getting a tesla soon. We have solar on the house and I was going to install a HPWC in the garage. However due to the geometry and current furniture in the garage the most likely parking spot for the tesla is in the spot opposite the house supply panel, with our...

2nd generation Roadster HPWC - Never used - Model TS-70 made for Tesla by Clipper Creek This came with my Roadster but I have 4 other chargers and don't need it. Never used and looks it. It requires a 90A circuit and puts out 70A which should give the Roadster about 50 miles per hour of...

I made a deal with the owner/operator of Lake Phoenix in Rawlings, VA. I provide an HPWC; he installs it and makes it accessible to the public. To my surprise, he agreed! The HPWC is now online (40A @ 240v) and available for public use 24hrs. The HPWC is located just a few miles of I-85...

My charge cycle was interrupted 2 days in a row. I unplugged it and replugged it in the AM and everything seemed fine. ( but called Tesla to have them check the car out ) Just came back from work and figured I'd crack open the HPWC (Yes I flipped the breaker off first) because I thought I...

for those who doesn't have dual charger and was looking at the HPWC, in my research this looks like a good alternative Amazon.com: Leviton EVB40-PST Evr-Green 400 EV Charger, 40-Amp, Surface Mount, 25-Foot Cord, Requires 50Amp Circuit: Home Improvement it charges 9.6kw/h where as the UMC only...

Considering how best to do my install for charging. It seems to me that if you are going to get a spare UMC (with the idea of leaving one plugged in at the house and keeping one in the car), it makes more sence to just gets the HPWC? For only $100 more you get a cooler looking installation that...

Tesla now have their first physical presence in Queensland with HPWCs installed at Secure Parking Queens Plaza, Wintergarden and Post Office Square in Brisbane. (Apparently) I have not had a chance to check the locations at Wintergarden and Post Office Square but I can confirm that there are...

Hello all. How does one determine whether it is feasible to install a 100A circuit breaker in a panel? I'd like to have 80A charging with an HPWC, but I don't know how to determine the biggest breaker that can be (is allowed to be) installed in the panel. The service here is 200A, and there's...

Stopped by to have service look at an issue, noticed 6 more Super Charger stalls going up. Service Advisor says they are waiting on Com Ed to turn the power on.

I am about to get my third HPWC - The first one arrived with the charging cable unsecured at the point it enters the box, and couldn't be easily fixed, so they sent a new one. This second one has now failed after only three months of use! It will not initiate charging. Clipper Creek told me...

Last week FLIR started shipping their new version of the FLIR ONE for iOS. This one is compatible with iPhone 6 and will soon be shipping a version for Android as well. I bought it to keep an eye on temperatures with my HPWC in addition to other household uses. How does this $250 FLIR compare to...

Do any Vancouver Model S owners have intel for me? We are planning a road trip up to Vancouver this summer. While the SCs will take care of us coming up the I-5 corridor from California, we will be staying near Oakridge Mall in Vancouver. Plugshare and Tesla's website shoes 2 HPWCs there ...

Tesla obviously put time and effort into making the HPWC look cool, in addition to its function. But it doesn't look so sleek when you install that big boxey subpanel next to it. As I look at various user installations, I see some have it and some do not. When is the subpanel needed, and when...

Being a Model S owner and Model X reservation holder got me thinking....Tesla should allow dual Model S/X/3 owners to trade-in the included new UMC on their second vehicle for an HPWC. My wife wants to keep the UMC in her Model X. I don't carry the UMC with me unless I'm going out of range. So...

Will a HPWC crimped with a plug to a NEMA 14-50 socket be safe? I am worried about heat, stability, breaker tripping, fire under 40 Amps This way the NEMA 14-50 can be used as a backup in case the HPWC fails; anyone know the warranty on the HPWC? -OL

What is the expert opinion on using just UMC in your personal garage rather than mounting a HPWC if you do not have dual chargers and only plan to charge at 40A? Any pros and cons you can suggest to help make the decision easier? thanks, -OL

I got a notification that my charging was interrupted on my P85D this evening. It has been working flawlessly since December, when I received the car. I walked out to the garage and noticed that the charger was not green. I checked the breaker. It was not tripped. I went over to the HPWC to hit...

Has anyone drafted an email to send to hotel requesting that they install an HPWC? And gives them a concise outline of the benefits to doing so, and includes info like: - the contact information for the people at Tesla that can assist them, and - the website to the destination charging...

All: I often make the road trip north from the Bay Area to Eureka along the Avenue of the Giants and there's just a lack of a 70-80 amp HPWC chargers up there between Ukiah and Eureka. There are already a few chargers (Benbow Inn NEMA 14-50 and a J1772 in Redway) but for Roadster folks and...

I've done it now..... If you look across at my avatar, you'll read that as of 3 June, I am now the forum's newest moderator. I guess that means that during my recent surgery, they musta gone and done carved out some of my brains, too, huh? (now, there's microsurgery for you....) More...

While I haven't had my MS charging on the HPWC for very long, I am certainly concerned about its reliability given the conversations on this forum and I have a strategy that may help prolong the life expectancy of the HPWC. This strategy also applies to the UMC although the max 40 amp capacity...

I ordered my HPWC last Saturday (5/23) and received the Email confirmation that it was ordered. However, a week later and I still haven't received an Email that it's been shipped. I realize last week was a 4-day workweek, but does it normally take this long just to SHIP it? Maybe I should...

I aN GROWING CONCERNED ABOUT MY HPWC. I have had the car and charger for almost a year. For the second time it has stopped working. The first time TESLA came out and fixed it. This time they say they are sending out an electrician to change it because they can not fix it. Fortunately it is...

I'm thinking now I'd like to keep the free supplied adapter cable in the car with me and get the HPWC for home, even though we just installed the 14-50 plug. I don't mind using the HPWC at 40 amps still so was hoping there was a way to just wire it with a plug into the 14-50 outlet instead of...
