    Third Party Charging Stations - Specifically - Chargepoint

    I have a 2016 90D MS - I travel a lot and in the places I travel there are only ChargePoint level 2 chargers - I put it in my charge point app with my model and it takes out the Level 2. When I called chargepoint because there is no Tesla customer service to speak of, I was told it was because...

    Destination charger not working

    Chateau Tilques is very convenient for Calais (less than an hour away) but watch out for chargers not working. We stayed there in Feb 22 and had no problem charging but a month later in March neither of the chargers worked. Luckily we had enough charge to get to Calais… so, it’s a shame but...

    Transformer Upgrade Required?

    A neighbor is installing two EVSE and has upgraded his service from the power company. I'm having a hard time understanding why that would be. I'm sure his service is 200 amps (all these houses were built about the same time and my smaller house is on 200 amps). The closer neighbor who told...

    Can I convert a 6-15 outlet to a 6-50 (or 14-50) outlet?

    I just ordered my model Y and I'm trying to make sure I'm setup to charge it properly at home. I'm attaching a picture (see link below) of an existing 6-15, 30A, 240v outlet I have in my garage, presumably installed for a dryer at some point. I'd like to swap it for an outlet that charges more...

    Charging Etiquette - airport parking

    What is everyone’s thoughts on charging etiquette when parked at an airport? I’ve twice now been unplugged while parked at an airport using a L2 charger, hence the ability to unplug it as it’s not locked. While I understand one can assume you’re parked there for a few days and thus can...

    Dryer buddy #4 (adapter for 30 amp dryer outlet)

    This is a re-post. I marked it as sold but the buyer reneged. I am selling a Dryer Buddy #4 which has a 30-amp dryer outlet plug and two receptacles, a 30-amp dryer plug and a NEMA 14-50. This allows an EV and dryer to remain plugged in without unplugging them over and over which damages the...

    Rescue Mode

    Given the amount of Tesla cars on the road, it would be great if there was a "Rescue mode" whereby a Tesla driver could donate some battery power to a stranded Tesla on the road. Both cars would have to be in the Rescue Mode (one to donate and one to receive)and utilize a cable with Tesla plugs...

    Still waiting for CHAdeMO Charging Model 3

    While I do appreciate humor and the fact that we get new software version with FARTS, what I would really love is an update that helps me on the long run. Why did we not get yet a software update for CHAdeMO charging? I reside in Montreal, Québec, Canada and we have been precursor of this...

    Possible to use Tesla Wall Charger to charge our CMax Energi as well?

    We plan to have a Tesla 240v wall charger installed in our house and we also own a Ford CMax Energi. Does an adapter exist which would allow us to plug the CMax in when we're not charging the Model 3? Info seems very scarce online so I haven't had any luck finding the reverse of the adapter we...

    Bosch Power Max Level 2 charger tripped by Tesla J1772 adapter?

    Hi all, Just took delivery of a lovely Model X 100D from Devon Tesla (Devon, PA) two nights ago. Our other car is a 2013 Nissan Leaf, so we are well acquainted with the EV lifestyle. We love the X, of course...but when I tried to charge with our existing Bosch EL-51253 charger (30A) using the...

    Noobie Charging Questions for M3

    1. What EVSE comes with M3 by default? What adapters come with it by default? Some videos I saw show 14-50 adapter, 120 volt adapter, and J-1772 adapter. 2. I have a NEMA 14-30 outlet (dryer outlet). Is there a way to use this outlet? 3. Does it matter, in terms of charging efficiency, if...

    Hiding Your J Plug in Center Console

    Title pretty much says it, but here's how I made this "discovery:" The center console that flips open (to hold tapes, maybe?) lets thing fall forward to the cup holder area. Some things slide back under and area a pain to retrieve. I didn't want to carry around my whole charge kit and realized...

    Universal Mobile Charger + wide assortment of adapters

    Tesla upgraded me to this new one in 2017 after the connector cable frayed on the original charger that came with my 2015 Model S 85D. I'm including two extra adapters which were very handy for residential and campground charging on 30 amp 240 volt circuits, and a spare NEMA 14-50 adapter...

    What charger adapters does the car come with? Which ones to buy?

    Hey all, getting ready to purchase some accessories for when the X arrives in a few weeks. I'm planning to get the HPWC and just keep the mobile connector in the car for trips. I believe that the mobile connector fits a NEMA 14-50 outlet right? Does it also come with an adapter for a 5-15 or...

    CHAdeMO in Maryland/Virginia/NC in 2018

    Posting this here since I'm trying to get a sense of *current* usefulness of spending the $450 for a CHAdeMO adapter. I've read lots of the (oldish) posts on this, and many are old, many are from the PNW, where there seems to be a great network for this. But around here (NoVa, rest of the...

    14-50 (NOT adapter-end) Mobile Connector discontinued?

    Hi All. Was just curious if the 14-50 mobile connector was discontinued. On the TM site, it's listed as "out of stock." The ones included on newer vehicles seem to have a modular end with adapters for 5-15 (household) plugs and 14-50 plugs. Does anyone know if the older-style 14-50 chargers are...

    Hello everyone! My first post here... I am getting a delivery of my Model S soon (so excited!) and wanted to get setup for charging in the meantime.

    Building NEMA 6-20P to NEMA 5-20R Adapter

    I thought I would make a new post with pictures I took while building my NEMA 6-20P to NEMA 5-20R Adapter. This adapter allows you to charge at 12A or 16A at 240V from a NEMA 6-20 receptacle. The NEMA 6-20 receptacle is easy to install if you have an existing 120V outlet on its own dedicated...
