SETEC CCS adapter blocked again- WTH TESLA

[bolide]

Please see this thread:

This works on my plaid. Look closely at the picture. Gutted my setec ccs adapter for passthrough. Had to bypass the switch. Obviously, you should not be doing this if you plan to plug it and leave or if you have no idea as to how this works.

Setec CCS to Tesla Adapter

DISCLAIMER: DO NOT DO THIS DO NOT DO THIS DO NOT DO THIS After discussions with @JWardell and @Ingineer, we were able to confirm that the tesla ccs adapter is entirely passthrough and just acts as a physical adapter, with no internal circuitry. The reason this works is because the newer cars...

Just out of curiosity, if the Setec CCS1 to Tesla adapter is using ChaDeMo emulation, what do you guys think Tesla is doing here to differentiate the Setec CCS1 and Tesla ChaDeMo? It also seems to trigger some isolation fault as a safety precaution perhaps?

The Tesla adapter is completely passthrough and has no electronics inside. Also, it has a locking pin that locks in the CCS1 plug into the adapter when the adapter is plugged into the car (therefore no risk of arc flash from pulling it out while it has power flowing).

Does anyone know if the Setec will work with a pre facelift MS with software 2022.12.3.1?

Interesting. Appears to have the same issues as the Setec with respect to flash arc danger. (It doesn't have the locking pin lock the Tesla one that is sold in Korea).

It should work fine, because it is adapting to emulate the Tesla CHAdeMO adapter.

I know it should.... however, if you've read the thread, there has been a cat and mouse game of Tesla blocking the Setec adapter

As it stands right now my 2020 AWD RL is not compatible with the CCS1 adapter. Now what?

I know this post is relatively old by forum standards, but let me ask a question: have you checked your CCS status on the Software panel in the car? It should tell you whether the car will work with CCS1, and that's a starting point to determine whether it's the adapter or the Tesla software....

Mine says "not installed". I'm one of the unlucky ones from September 2021 that got hit by the chip shortage.

Can confirm Setec still works, once you update it's firmware, works on cars with CCS and without CCS support. But capped at 50Kw due to ChaDeMo emulation. Just make sure the adapter firmware is updated before your trip and obviously don't update the car software during your trip so you don't get stranded by this cat and mouse game.

My Setec is working fine with the newest 2022.12.3.2 code.. Whines about arc danger but works. been using it almost daily for the past 10 days.

 

[setecCCS]

any one tried the setec v. 164-1 on the model x v11 2022.12.3.2?

I just charged 12Kw tonight, yesterday and the day before . No problems so far.

It broke again?

No, it still works but Tesla displays an overly dramatic warning message while charging.

Was the charging rate 12 kW (which is super slow for a DC charger) or did you pick up 12 kWh of energy?

Picked up 12kw. So far in the past 60 days, I’ve run about 700kw through it
