Disappointing results today when new fuses installed in HPWC only provided 55 MPH.
Has anyone been able to get the published 62 MPH?

Rated. Started charging at 169 rated miles and took picture when it reached 201 rated miles. Started charging at about 48 mph and slowly, very slowly, went up to 49, 50 51, etc. Finally, at the maximum rate of 55 and completing the standard charge at 55 mph.Is your range expressed in rated or ideal miles?

your utility or something in between is dropping too much voltage, the HPWC isnt getting enough juice to charge at its designed limit.
this happens when there is resistance in the line, the line is too long, the line has crappy contacts, or the grid is under a heavier load,
you will see better results if you use cables that are "overkill" for example, my subpanel gets power from the main breaker via 100A breaker, i used a 125A cable to go to the subpanel. I then have a 50A breaker going to the NEMA 14-50, but the cable supplying the power is rated for 65A.

Thick wires and oversized supply.
Just a few curiosity questions.
1) What gauge is the wire going to your HPWC? 6? 4?
2) How long of a run is the wire in #1 from the breaker box to the HPWC.

And a short wire run helps too!
You should have #3 minimum for 80 amps (continuous) with any length of run. #3 is hard to find and expensive so I opted for #2.
The stated web site number of 62mph is ideal. Which is 55mph rated.
I bet you'll see the 62mph number if you switch to ideal.
You need to follow up on why you don’t have your fuses. My selfish interest was to reduce the time I bothered all my Tesla friends when stopping to use their HPWC. Let’s get some Super Chargers in the mid-section of the country.Some of us don't even have our fuses yet and people are already complaining that their new 80A-compatible fuses aren't enough.
Maybe I should start an Sig HPWC Legacy Fuses Angst thread.
You are right about “pretty AMAZING” but when travelling Tesla owners stop by me, I want to give them maximum mph. Not that I want them on their way, :smile: but just to reduce their charge time55 miles of range per hour of charge is still pretty fast... you can fully charge a nearly depleted MS 85 in about 4.5 hours.. i know, i know.. not great for road trips... but in real life (at least to this forum contributor) pretty AMAZING.
They didn't arrive on their own. Tesla hasn't called. And life has been busy. I'll go into nag mode soon enough.You need to follow up on why you don’t have your fuses.
Don't you just love it when you know more about company policy than the guys that work there?! I still am amazed by the power that the internet places in the hands of us consumers.I called again on monday, and asked about my updated fuses and assembly. The person on the phone said I had to drive to the service center to pick them up, and they did not have any anyway. I said that I was a 4 hour drive away, and they should mail them or have one of the rangers drop them by when they are in the area. The person said that it was not their policy to ship parts. I said that does not sound right and he should check again.
Yesterday I got a call. Fuses are in, and I was correct, they could be mailed. I had to verbally certify that I had an electrician to install the parts.
