[UPDATE!!]
Genuine apologies to everyone, as a couple folks pointed out it clearly shows the accelerator pedal being pushed by me. I am very glad this was brought to my attention as it’s a wake up call to remember so much of driving happens unconsciously, and pushing the accelerator pedal can...
So I just bought this thing for my
Mountain bike, literally used it one time and have had it less than a week, and the thread started coming off for no apparent reason, it’s brand new. Unfortunate Tesla doesn’t exchange items, I’ll have to go through their return process, but what if it was just...
You'd think, mine was a December 2024 AWD and the existing charger also had the heatsink fins, so they must have just replaced it with the same thing I suppose.
Final update: Very disappointing to report similar experience to others here, phone still gets really hot, hardly charges at all. After like 10 minutes it finally went up one percent, still unnecessarily hot to the touch in a 68 degree cooled car without much direct sunlight on the device. Why...
Update - part was replaced, entire think took maybe 20 minutes. I went out and asked the guy about the part and he showed me the old part he had removed, new part was already installed so I was unable to see the difference, however, the old part DID have a large heat sink underneath it, unlike...
I literally took a screenshot of Lamar’s post that was uploaded to this thread initially and submitted that to SC requesting for the part to be changed due to experiencing the same heat. It immediately got accepted. Today’s the day, supposed to show up to my house within the next hour. I’ll...
IMHO, forget Qmerit unless you’ve got a fortune. Go to https://www.tesla.com/support/certified-installers and find a certified electrician near you. Get quotes from as many as you can. Compare quotes. Choose most competitive quote. Keep a close eye on everything throughout the process. Good luck.
No, I made it very clear because they did confuse that at first, then I spoke with their lead electrician to clarify and he said they’ve done many gateways, teslas powershare included. After discovering their team on site wasn’t familiar with the process, the lead explained they’ve done the...
I got 11 quotes in total, took weeks, finally landed on a relatively medium to large sized company with a great reputation in my area with an estimate of $7400 including all permits and inspections. The lowest I had was about $2500 which sounded way too sketchy, and the most expensive was about...
Wow man that sounds like a real headache. Hope it get fixed permanently. After the initial install, how long did it take for you to realize it’s a dud?
Yes there is, I actually updated this post with that info and a pic of the exterior panel but a new post was created somewhere and I can’t figure out how to delete this one.
Got my truck, PowerShare, and universal wall connector in December, finally just had my gateway and wall connector installed in my garage, I actually had to get my entire panel replaced due to it being at full capacity and a main breaker that was starting to crap out on us, so I got the whole...
