Maybe. Maybe not. What charging at 24A does, unequivocally, however... is remove the first obvious sign most users receive that their PCS is beginning to fail. Frankly, the PCS2 failure rate appears to be so high that trying to forestall it seems like so much pissing in the wind.

I agree. In instances where Tesla is able to keep Supercharging alive as an option - a la the recent software push to affected vehicles - I think any lemon law claims become very wobbly. A hard failure that kills the DC fast charging option, like we saw in many/most cases until very recently...

The extended service times we're now seeing for the PCS2 replacement would likely trigger the lemon law statute in most states. The joker in the deck is that those state lemon laws expire after so many miles and/or so many months of ownership. In California, it's 18 months or 18,000 miles...

I wonder what the oldest/most-miles CT that Tesla has ever bought back is? State lemon laws expire at explicit months-of-ownership and/or mileage. One could imagine that Tesla would be more inclined to buy back a vehicle still within the purview of an owner's state's lemon law statute. But...

I don't think most folks have a problem with other folks' using AI Bots. But at this point these large language models are mostly just very sophisticated internet scrapers. Think Google search on steroids. Thus, they simply represent a lot of opinions from numerous unnamed and unvalidated...

Yes. Service Mode will show one or more very clear "PCS2____" fault codes when your CT begins to experience this failure.

Tesla can't - well, they could, but it would be pretty unwise - do a PCS recall until they have reasonable confidence that they have a fix. That they haven't issued a recall might very well suggest that they themselves are awaiting longer-term reliability data from the Rev -G module. That -...

Lying about a non-existent PCS failure is not helpful. Tesla can easily see if there have been any PCS faults logged. If I were a Tesla Service Center and a customer showed up claiming such a made-up story, I would permanently tag their account with "Customer lies. Take everything they say...

Your link requires a Temu account, so unable to see what your Ryobi adapter is doing. Can't help you there. But the CT's emergency jump port is expecting a nominal 12v. I'd be leery of connecting anything that wasn't in that neighborhood.

I received 2026.2.9.3 yesterday morning (previously on 2026.2.9.1). When I went out to take the CT out for its first drive on the new software, ANC was there. It never showed up on 2026.2.9.1. 2024 AWD Foundation Series..

No one outside Tesla knows the frequency of PCS failure or any causal pattern(s) that might exist. The anecdotal examples on the forum here are all over the place. It's been suggested that higher L2 charging amperages might be at play, presumably because of the additional heat that would...

Beyond the exorbitant quote, it was the the whole-house vs partial-house debacle that caused me to reject PowerShare. So, Tesla subcontracts with Qmerit to oversee PowerShare installations. Qmerit subcontracts with local electric firms all over the country and provides "PowerShare Installation...

No garage. Never had a garage. Probably never will have a garage. Cybertruck and Model 3 both do fine, albeit ambient temps are colder in winter and hotter in summer than most folks with a nice garage. (I do actively manage pack temps, something most people don't). Thermal behavior of the...

The charge curve on the Cybertruck is already conservative, even when arriving at a Supercharger with a pack fully conditioned and up to temp. Attempting to DC Fast Charge when the pack hasn't been heated is an exercise in frustration - a quite large battery pack and a very low charge rate...

Service Mode will reveal a great many transient faults that quickly clear and are not reported via the normal user interface. Absent some other indication of a problem I would not be concerned about those particular fault codes. The family of specific codes that would raise a flag for me...

You can turn on climate and - if pack temps are low enough - that will begin heating of the battery. But that's not a quick process and pack heating will cease (~60ish Fahrenheit) well before desired DC Fast Charging temps are reached (~120 F).

No. Replacing the PCS2 is a fairly involved procedure, far beyond what a mobile tech could do.

Check service mode. You'll find one or more active PCS2 errors. Make an appointment. You can't fix this at home.

Or do a little simple math, bring your EV experience to bear, and drive it! (Agree it's an unfortunate inconvenience in either case).

No.
