No completely unrelated.Is the road trip and the "Handguns for sale" tab related? Lol

How long did it take from order to receipt? Was there any customs fees that had to be paid?I ordered mine directly from Setec during the preorder (November). For a while it was only available on Alibaba. Now appears to be link on the webpage for direct paypal purchase (which is the way I bought). Their shipping was relatively quick (considering it came from China)
I also ordered direct from Setec. Took a week, via UPS and no customs paid (as it was under $800.00). Looking at your location you will not have to pay customs either.How long did it take from order to receipt? Was there any customs fees that had to be paid?
That's pretty terrifying -- stupid question: Would you use it again?So I finally got my car back from the service center after waiting on parts for about a month. Looks like the adapter caused some pretty good damage, but the repairs were free since I’m still under warranty. I did not tell them about the adapter.
following items were replaced :
Charger port MCU
Charge port to PCS (onboard charger) HV cable
Charge port to Battery HV cable
PCS (power conversion system)
So it is surprising that Tesla service did not want to know all the details about where you were charging at the time it occurred? (home, Supercharger, friends dryer plug, chademo adapter, etc).I did not tell them about the adapter.
That implies that such frying can occur when using totally normal equipment? I would've thought they'd notice something unusual in the logs but if they didn't that's quite a surprise to me.
Yea you are correct. I just got greedy. I would probably use it again at the 50KW speed if I was in a pinch.That is the reason I’m fully behind Setec prioritizing the compatibility of all the CCS1 brands out there (like greenlots!) over the *speed* of their charging adapter.
As secondary (emergency) charging equipment, I’m glad enough as it is at 50kW max.
The V150 FW rev has been released, maybe it is now working.Yea you are correct. I just got greedy. I would probably use it again at the 50KW speed if I was in a pinch.
Thanks. Two is really not a great track record. The number of units sold is probably in the hundreds. Some/most units sold probably haven't been used yet. Some failures damaging the car would not be reported online at all.It seams like in the two instances we've heard about the adapter damaging the car, the user was using or had used the experimental >50kw firmware.
That's kind of a ridiculous scenario, though. I don't think anyone who is on a real practical traveling trip would be trying to run experiments with questionable, non-production firmware versions. Someone would be doing that near where they live while not on a trip.Frying the charging ability of the car while traveling and in a low SOC would be a major bummer. I would be at least 200 miles from home if I'm using this CCS adapter.

The users who damaged their cars didn't write the firmware. The developers posted the firmware you call questionable and obviously didn't understand the implications of their code changes. Lots of volts and amps in play here. This isn't just some app that crashed disappointingly on a new release.
What else do the developers not understand? Did the two cars that got fried also damage other components in their battery packs?
Note that Reddy_KW had pulled down experimental firmware and not the firmware that was generally available. It was clear that he was not using the released version.So I played Russian Roulette with this adapter, and finally got the bullet in the chamber this time. I fried my charge port I believe. My car will not charge on either AC or DC.
As a clarification , I was using an experimental firmware that "spoofed" the Super charger protocol. Getting the car towed to the service center tomorrow.
Hopefully it can be fixed.
