Thank Frank, easily the most useful information on this thread. This resonates because I was using a extension cord with shared ground/common.
I will test with the Tesla portable charger today using the same cord and report back.
As the title says, I am getting an error every couple of minutes when trying to charge using a Lectron EVCharge14-50-40A and adaptor.
The errors are HVBATT_a174 and HVBAT_a236:
I have reached out to Lectron and they are suggesting a problem with the truck (works fine on my wall charger) or my...
Plugshare and "A better route planer". I prefer to not let onboard nav select the charging points. ABRP does a better job, especially in combination with Plugshare where you can more easily review amenities and location.
If you subscribe to ABRP, you can also select stops by amenity like...
So much about Tesla is knowing how to hold your tongue juuuust right. I started with Tesla Assist, but I did not know the trick of asking for an agent. Assist sent me to service. I called service and got a person who sent me to sales. I called sales and spoke with the local sales manager who...
Second the Dewalt. I have it in a hard-case with a battery and USB charger. I put it in the Frunk where I have USB charging ports. I have used it a couple of times on the truck, but maybe a dozen times airing up other tires, balls, etc:
The USB charger connector goes through a bulkhead mount...
Yes, I completed the survey. The survey was accepted and in due course an installer contacted me and came out.
Several weeks later I the installer contacted me an said Tesla was declining. The issue seemed to be that I have a solar system that is off-grid, but that I can manually connect in an...
PowerShare Design Review declined me on Oct 16th. Note that the decline was AFTER the survey was accepted and the installer came out for the initial survey.
It has been over a month since the decline. The voucher is not in my wallet.
I accepted the Powershare offer on my Foundation Truck, only be be declined by [email protected] after the site survey. I expected to receive a voucher after being declined, but alas...
I have tried contacting both Tesla as well as the installer for an update on the Voucher. The...
I have an idea / request: I would like a rack that is build on sliding rails, one on each side (left-right) bolted to the 4 hard-points. A number of rails (2, 4, etc) would be strung between the two rails in such a way they can slide back-to-front. Ideally the slides would be powered.
An...
A flat spot.
For your drink, or Jame May's Gin.
Slightly obtrusive, but very functional. Bolts into cross member hard-point.
Done in Fusion 360 and printed in ABS. Looks better smoothed as it comes closer to matching the B-column. I am glad to provide the 360 files or STL to anyone that...
The wife, the dogs and I just completed a couple thousand mile road trip, mostly on Interstates in the CB. I drove at or somewhat above the speed limit most of the way, and here is what we got:
I was very pleasantly pleased with how the trip went. This is my first EV, and the first roadtrip...
I am no expert on tires, and most certainly not an expert on Teslas. I have owned a number of performance cars tho (none as quick as the CB tho), and I hang out with other folks in the performance car world when I am able. Maybe I am missing something here, but those wear numbers seem nominal or...
#3 Would be very helpful for loading passengers with disabilities. A family member that enjoys riding in the truck is wheelchair bound. I now service->deflate to get the truck down low enough so they can transfer. It would be great to be able to deflate all the way down without having to go to...
