19 amps at 12 volts for 312 CFM seems pretty high. I've got a Procomp radiator fan rated at 500 CFM that pulls about 5 amps at 12v. Maybe because it's pushing through restricted passages?

What is that?
This is the heat exchanger for the charger. if blocked, you cannot charge at higher rates. mine got stepped down to 27A/44A instead of 60A. Also the fan worked at highest level without getting a proper result.
I had a Roadster stop at my house for some juice yesterday. I've got 70A but his VDS kept dropping to 53A/53A while his PEM felt very warm. It was a bit of a mystery to us but now I think he's got leaves blocking his airflow. I should have looked at his PEM temp on the VDS but didn't think of it. He's got a 2.5 with the new fan.
I suppose there's a chance doing this could cause condensation inside the enclosure.We put *sealed*bags of ice on top of the PEM and waited to see what happened

As a paid upgrade, though.How big of a gesture would that be to replace all the PEMs on the Roadster for free with a liquid cooled one. Won't happen since its expensive.

I think they have a lot more to work on than upgrading a vehicle they no longer build.

I think that upgrade might be coming from TM itself.
Just the R&D alone would probably be prohibitively expensive. What would you pay for a water-cooled PEM? (Rhetorical question.) What would it cost them to engineer it, test it, and then build it in the small numbers that might be ordered? How many Roadster owners would pay e.g. $20,000 for a water-cooled PEM if they live in a moderate climate and have had no problems in the first two or three years of ownership? 10%? 20%? I think I'd buy it, just to have the best, if it was a couple thousand, but if it was $25,000 I probably would not.How big of a gesture would that be to replace all the PEMs on the Roadster for free with a liquid cooled one.
