Not true, my phone and dash both notified me of a mosfet health check error and my max charge rate was 24 amp (while I was charging at 20 amps) when one side of the PCS went down.
I do agree on the skepticism that a lower charge rate will preserve the PCS longer.
I charge almost exclusively at 240vac 20 amps and I am on my 3rd PCS. Charging at a higher amperage may make it fail faster, but slower doesn't mean it will be protected.
Wait, you mean the whole city didn't burn down in nuclear hellfire? I keep getting told EVs burst into flames randomly, even more so after an accident, that bring down a mini apocalypse on all those nearby.
In all seriousness, the people space looks to be in really good condition. Hope everyone...
I had condensation build up on my lightbar as well. I informed the SC and they said no worries, I would get a new one as they were doing my lightbar recall. When I looked at the docs, there was no lightbar, just brackets, nuts, bolts, and like tape. I questioned them when I dropped it off and...
Oh, one last thing, the free tesla level 2 chargers at mount rushmore are currently off. There is major construction in that parking garage so you cant reach those chargers.
One other thing, I posted this in response to getting the new hankook tires in my truck but one thing I found that wasn't discussed anywhere was, once you get into the badlands from wall on the paved road, turn off fsd, cancel any destination, then turn fsd back on in sloth mode. It will keep...
I just did a 4 day weekend in rapid city last month. I stayed at the elevation Inn, though across the street was a holiday Inn that had like 6 or 8 l2 tesla chargers (they are expensive BTW, i think it was $0.48/kwh) but the mall was only a mile away with a 4x150 kw tesla charger. Be aware those...
It is an FSD coding issue. I have had this happening on my truck since 14.3.3. Just dropped my truck off this morning for recall work and was given a loaner MX with HW4 and it does it too. It becomes more noticeable the faster you go, but since the MX has a multiple turn lock to lock on the...
Click bait journos using AI to create hit pieces based on discussions in a public forum? Can't do much about that. My truck isn't full down, even with the PCS2 offline now, I can still supercharge. They also just copy pasta, which is basically all AI can do, not realizing rev "Echo" was me...
I know this is a few months late, but my first pcs failure (sept 2024) threw a critical alert issue, disabled rear steering, put it in limp mode (4mph), significantly reduced the power assistance to front steering, and threw alerts about potential loss of all power and braking. Only way I see...
It was ensure all standby features are disabled, such as ac outlets, usb outlets, sentry mode, etc, hit the power off button in the menu, get out of the vehicle and dont touch it or the app for 30 min.
My vin is 30xxx iirc, so you likely have the first or 2nd PCS that I have had. Bought my truck first week of sept 2024 and the new pcs was installed in Dec 2024. The first one, when it faulted, if you shutdown the truck and let it sleep for 30 min, it would reset the fault flag and you could...
So my situation with charging is extremely unique. My job requires me to move every 2 or 3 years so I built what I call a solar cart that utilizes 8x victron energy 5000va (4000 watt) inverters (ul1741 listed), 30kwh lifepo4 at 48vdc storage, and max of 350 amps of solar input (currently only...
I have yet to be able to successfully upload anything to this forum. Every time I try and post a photo or a video it just gets stuck at uploading and nothing happens :/
