I still have my old charger in case the "new" one has a total failure. At least I can swap back in half a day (I'm getting good at this).Is there any value in keeping the old charger? Has anyone figured out how to fix a half-dead charger? I also saw a video that shows how complex the internals of a gen3 are, and wow.
Thanks again for the great post.
In the end, I decided to have Tesla fix it as your detailed steps showed how much time it was going to take (and the mess). I wish I had the time, as it looks like a fun project for a modern car repair.
You probably have the 72amp version 3.How do you figure out what charger you have in the car? I have a Dec 2016 Model S P100D
If Tesla is installing it, I wouldn't question it, as it will have to work before it comes back to you. It seems the XS2-1 might work for some. It just didn't for me. Tesla has access to a lot more tools and is able to change configs to suit whatever they install.My 2017 Model S (manufactured in May) has only half the 48A charge rate. Tesla quotes part KIT,SERVICE,GEN3 CHRG SYS,48A,1PH(1035647- 02-F). Is there a way to confirm this is XS 1-1 or other?
I doubt they'll sell you the charger. If you're looking to DIY it, I would recommend finding the same exact charger that's in your car, whether that's an XS1-1 or XS2-1.I am asking because I am unsure whether to have Tesla do the repair or to attempt it myself. The estimate total is $2,662.97 including 7% sales tax.
It doesn't. I had an XS1-1 and XS2-1 with exactly the same part/revision code on it. The seller I bought it from had 10 chargers with the same part numbers. 3 of the chargers were XS2-1. Still can't figure out what exactly the difference is.Of course, I would look for one from another source. I was trying to determine if this part number helps constrain which ones I should consider (without having to pull out the seat to check first.
Yea...the insides of these things are super dense. There's a video of a guy ripping apart a V3 charger to use for a hobby project. It didn't look fun at all.Very interesting post on here. I am currently working on a process to be able to replace these for the fraction of a price than tesla does them. I will be working to see if I can do these on Model 3 as well.
Thank you for a lot of useful information.
I hope we can find what breaks on these to be able to save even more money on fixing this.. Ridiculous tesla costs for replacements
Yup. I thought the same thing about how long it will last, but for $350, I can replace it 8 times and still be under what Tesla charges for a refurb unit. Lol.Yeh, I have been looking to replace the charger on the car I have and the only replacement here in EU matching what I need is nearly EUR2000, others are cheaper but look water damaged. Even if its just changed with a used one then how long would it work for? Whilst searching i didnt find them failing a lot so perhaps changing with another one from a salvaged car would be enough. But all glory for the research
Are they replacing with refurb units? Would they have to make that clear? My estimate has no indication that the part is refurb.what Tesla charges for a refurb unit
You're probably good but I would just ask to confirm. One of my quotes was for a refurb and one was for new. Both were pretty much the same price.Are they replacing with refurb units? Would they have to make that clear? My estimate has no indication that the part is refurb.
