Thank you. Yes, only one of my boards failed (my car was still charging at 32 amps, not the usual 48), so it makes sense that someone could use the two working boards. Thanks again!They have three identical charging boards in them (2 for an SR) and are usually replaced because one of them has failed. If that's the case with yours, the good ones left could be used to repair another unit of the same model that had a bad board (or two) in it.
Before I authorized the repair, I sent the SC a copy of that Service Bulletin and mentioned that my car's built date was June 2018. They quickly came back and said that my car was not covered under that Service Bulletin. I plan to take the matter to arbitration so I'm closely following others' experience with that process.See my post #112 above there was a Technical Service Bulletin for the June 2018 build date Model 3's regarding the PCS boards. I tried to find my rat holed copy of the PDF TSB document but could not find it, maybe someone on the forum has a copy? My PCS was replaced under the 4yr/50K warranty but I assumed it would have been replaced after that at no cost, due to the June 2018 TSB.
I'd say you likely have a manufacturing defect in all 3 that is increasing the likelihood of failure. And the more that fail, the longer each remaining one needs to operate, which further increases the likelihood of failure. I'd get all of them replaced before the trip.I can report that, two days ago, the second 16A module in my PCS failed. I can now only charge at 16A. I'm going on a roadtrip next week to a location with a destination charger, and if the third module fails… I'll be SOL.

Wall connectors (and destination chargers) can charge a Model 3 at up to 48 amps.Wait, I'm confused... how are you able to charge at 48A? The most I'm seeing at 244v is 32A's.

With a 50A breaker:

I have a tesla wall connector that I bought in 2020.Wall connectors (and destination chargers) can charge a Model 3 at up to 48 amps.
Mobile connectors since mid-December 2017 can charge a Model 3 at up to 32 amps.
Mobile connectors from before mid-December 2017 can charge a Model 3 at up to 40 amps.
If you have the correct breaker and wiring then you should be able to configure it to charge a Model 3 at up to 48 amps.
Unless it is a SR/SR+/RWD, those are limited to 32A.If you have the correct breaker and wiring then you should be able to configure it to charge a Model 3 at up to 48 Amps.
Thanks for the clarification. I wrote Model 3 several times but forgot the disclaimer that those Model 3s can only charge at up to 32A.Unless it is a SR/SR+/RWD, those are limited to 32A.

Oh, good catch. I hadn't thought to look at location. If it's 16A on 3 phase, that's all the onboard charger can do.your car is showing 3 phase charging
This is very similar to my story, except that I was not offered a discount and paid over $1800 for my PCS replacement. I'm still waiting to see the results of the arbitrations pursued by others in this forum to see if it's worth the trouble.My LR rear wheel M3 was born in June 2018. I never received a specific recall for my PCS regardless of the TSB that was posted (TSB- PCS failure 06/2018 M3). They claimed my VIN is not included in this replacement and Tesla is extremely thorough in having those affected by recalls to have immediate replacement service. Unfortunately out of warranty by a few months and only noticed when my car was showing the 'poor grid power quality' error message when car was at 16/48A charging. Very well could have been failing while in warranty, but I have no way to prove one way or other. Tesla is not budging on covering this defective PCS regardless of the TSB posted and offered a 200 discount (Woo! /s)- while cheaper at ~$1300, still expensive. Not sure where to go from here besides paying for the replacement (1 month away) and filing an arbitration to hopefully have some of the money returned. Is there a way Tesla can diagnose when the first of the 16a charging block failed? Also, does anyone know if somehow my car was just 'missed' in the VIN recall for PCS mentioned in the TSB. Service agent mentioned I'm not affected because mine would have failed longgg ago and the repair is not the same due to likely failure in the mount of the PCS due the bolts and nuts in included in the TSB above and not just the PCS + coolant which is what my M3 requires for repair.
TSBs are not recalls. They are internal documents that explain defects/repairs to technicians.My LR rear wheel M3 was born in June 2018.
