I got the connectivity one, 23-PU1113, on 3/14 after the Tesla update and have also gotten nothing since. I was really hoping to at least get my dash battery percentage before they stopped.
I am just trying to say that I do not know how they are doing it and at this point all I have seen are assumptions. I see your point, but I don't think it adds any value unless we know how they are doing it.
Some people say that you can charge to 100% because there is extra capacity. Others say that you can drive past 0% because there is extra capacity...it can't work both ways. Do we know if we actively charge that capacity or if it's left empty so we don't charge to an actual 100% ever.
Coming out to my neck of the woods.
The Tesla chargers are more reliable and cheaper than existing infrastructure. Travelling will always be more than charging at home, but how are you filling up your gas vehicle at home?
You definitely have to finesse them in for it to not splash. I do wish it was just a little less tight. "Spit on it" does not work in all scenarios. :sneaky:
That is not true. The NEC specifically has sizing for RV park receptacles based on known demands for the use they are being designed for and they allow the service to be quite a bit smaller than if it was not an RV park. EV chargers on the other hand are in another section and you have to take...
I would never advise someone to break the law, but not meeting code does not inherently make something unsafe. I would argue that using this truck in that manner is safer than someone using a portable generator without a ground rod, which is the majority of people using portable generators.
You’re allowed to take a demand on loads and you don’t need to use your full connected load additively when connecting stuff. The majority of panels have a lot more than the rated amps connected, but real world use the panel sees a fraction of that. If you were actually overloaded you would gave...
All I can say is, as a licensed electrical engineer, I know exactly what I did to my system and I know that it is safe, but I like to join these threads with some popcorn.
And the follow-up questions to Ford posted on the subreddit pretty confidently confirm that Ford is not sharing that information. Sounds like that original Reddit post got deleted because he was lying.
These meter base transfer switches were added to the NEC in 2020, and if PG&E is having them installed I would not be questioning its safety. There is no reason to fear monger.
That looks like a version that DOES show if the car is locked/unlocked. Nice to see that coming up. AND a dark mode? That is a modern looking app right there.
