Generation 1 HPWC not working with Cybertruck

[swengl]

Doubtful, my Cybertruck charges at 32A with the mobile connector, and Superchargers much faster than that.
Does the screen say 24/24 or 24/48 when charging?

24/24

24/24

Interesting, either the wall connector is advertising 24 Amps max or the Cybertruck is interpreting what it is advertising as 24A. Given there is no 30A breaker option on the wall connector, it may be the latter.
Could try 60Amp breaker setting, that should give a 48Amp charge rate

Hmmm.....I'll give that a shot. If it doesn't have any impact, no harm no foul.

I just spent the last weekend at my lake house and I have Gen 3's at home and a Gen 1 at the lake house. I also have it on a 100 amp breaker to charge my original S with 80 amps (don't have it any longer, but do have an S that charges at 72 amps) Well the Cybertruck has always charged fine on the Gen 3's at home and it also charged fine the first night on the Gen 1, but the second night, it didnt charge and was red at the plug with errors on the screen. unplugging and plugging back didn't resolve it BUT i power cycled the Gen 1 with the breaker and then it worked again. I will try changing the settings down to 80 60 amps to see if that fixes it - not a fun surprise to not be charged in the morning.

It is a bit scary to realize how much you depend on a single piece of equipment to work so that you can avoid range anxiety. I've noticed that the mobile charger only wants to charge at 2 mi/hr of range....yeah, not good!

So, I finally got around to figuring out the optimal setting on the G1 HPWC for the truck: the 80A setting is getting me 48A of charging.

Does the UI show 48/64 ?

48/48

Interesting, thanks! I was curious how the UI would deal with a charge capacity higher than the vehicle can handle. Makes sense to only show usable capacity.

I'm super pumped that I effectively doubled my charge rate by flipping a few dip switches. Settings matter!

Yeah, I'd had my home surround sound system for months before I found the TV needed the audio output set to auto to take full advantage of it. Auto apparently includes options you can't select ?.

Oh you have me worried now: I have a Gen1 signature edition that I charge the MY LR on currently. We need to move stuff out of the third bay to park the MY there so the CB can go in the garage. We have been charing it on a Gen 2 HPWC that we have installed outside in the meantime. Which consequently I think has a faulty breaker as the 60amp breaker trips whenever we try to charge the truck at 48amps, I have it scaled back to 30 amps in the truck currently.
Hopefully my Gen 1 works fine and we dont have issues ?

It's cheap and easy to pop a new breaker in there. If that doesn't fix it, I would check the terminal connections on the HPWC.
