Six months ago my MS 75D started charging at half the speed on a wall charger, it would only go up to 24 amps instead of 48.
Yesterday it stopped charging entirely - it would charge a mile or so, drop to 23 amps and then eventually to zero. It would happen 3 or 4 times and then error out.
I started taking my car apart to replace the fuses when I found out the fuses I bought are for the older generation of charger. I have a gen 3 onboard charger.
My questions for the forum are...
1. Are there fuses I can/should replace on the gen 3 onboard charger? Is that still a thing? And if so, what is the model? I saw this video but it didn't get into the detail I was hoping:
Tesla of course is going to charge my ~$2950 to do it themselves. If I go that route I will definitely ask for the original unit to be returned to me.
Any suggestions? I started looking at ebay but most of them are no returns so I am afraid of getting a defective unit.
