So I went back to test the other stalls. First stall only got in the 40s kW so I moved over to a different stall, and got 92 kW off the bat @ 40ish%. Around minute 4, it went from 86 kW back to the 34 kW I saw the other day. The whole time, I was checking the handle, the CCS adapter, and the port on the car side to see if it was getting overheated. Everything seemed cool, except maybe the port did feel a little warmer (not much tho). I ended the sessions because I don't need the battery full right now plus at 30 kW....I'd suggest, if you see unexpected throttling that comes down smoothly from a higher power, stop it and feel the plug(s). In my experience, when a plug gets hot, it slows - it doesn't stop completely. Approximately the same scale of "mm? that's not warm?" to "Ow, that's burning hot!" is the scale the car understands as well.
Very-much could be a station issue, too - not uncommon. One of my first tests was at an EA station that kept oscillating between ~60kW and ~120kW, back and forth, repeatedly, while there were really no cars around me to be potentially sharing anything. Seems the station just wasn't ... quite... feeling good that day.
Yea i kinda did that. But hopefully i didnt damage it too hard. Will test later on today with the updateYep. One over.
The incredible challenge is convincing the assembly to release the pin, without damaging the connector or the wire. There is a way
What do you have to do to be able to see prices and place orders from the EPC?
When you sign in to EPC I think there's a link for a parts ordering application form. That's what I was told to submit. I left the parts about workers insurance and shop photos and stuff blank (cause I don't have any of that). I did have a used car dealer business license that I was able to use.
unknown MAC address? does this give us a clue that all electronic components are communicating over ethernet?
No, but CCS is ethernet and the MAC address is used for the AutoCharge feature.
Haha it worked! Thanks again @FalconFour.
Also wanted to add that it tapered down to ~80kW by the time it got to 60% SOC.Theoretically it should be able to pull a lot closer to 180kW (It's a 350kW, 500A station), but even this is a huge upgrade over the 50kW joke that was CHAdeMO. Speaking of which, anyone want to buy it from me?
Also weird, I'm not being able to react to other people's posts (otherwise I'd have given you a thumbs up for post #789 @MP3Mike). Also haven't been able to PM people recently, even though I have in the past.
You should have enough posts to be able to rate posts now. Or maybe you need one more.
No, just Tesla-approved body shops (or I guess they're called collision centers now). There's way more of those than service centers around here.
PM sent about your ecu/bundle
So I am NOT the only one. I was beginning to think the close function was broke on my charge flap. I don't believe I have seen it close by itself since I did the upgrade. I even tried to open it with the remote and then close it again and it wouldn't close even then.
That's the link I was missing, thanks, apparently there ARE a lot of those collision centers around:
This is a weird report - something I've only rarely seen myself, reported as always happening to you. As it relates to the upgrade, the charge port door is entirely unaffected. It passes straight through to the ECU. The door is controlled/sensed by the middle connector (the one without the Bundle), and it contains the motor drive, position sense, tap sensor, all that jazz. Straight-through connection there.
