There's a brand new V4 Supercharger along my way to work. I've been avoiding it because though the 10' cables would be very handy for charging the Lightning, when I pass by it's usually full of taxis charging between their shifts. I'll try it today. Not inclined to take "influencers" earning...

Curiously, with the failures we've seen reported here so far, seems like the truck can go quite a ways after this happens and all the fluid leaks out. But, then again, if it breaks but doesn't rattle (2 of the 3 reported here seem to have been silent) you could go quite a ways before noticing...

Do you have a source for the V4 chargers not working?

Wow. That gasket is probably Viton or something similar but I'm still surprised it's good for 150,000 miles.

Two with holes roughly the size and shape of a loose fastener or maybe a large gear tooth, no?

Seriously though things like this are why I always drive with the navigation voice turned off, regardless of vehicle. I think there's a different lag (intentionally or not on the part of the programmers) between announcing and displaying the instructions and it can get very confusing. With a...

Honestly the Justice Department should have gone after them for noncompliance with the dieselgate consent decree long ago. They won't actually become a useful charging network unless VW feels real pain.

Definitely looking forward to using these to transport the winged hogs I'll be raising. It's kind of shocking how that huckster can still get people to take his shtick seriously, after more than a decade of just promising whatever magic horsepuckey he thought would sell cars...and never...

It's been reported at least once before in this forum.

Guess we can expect this thread to have a very, very limited lifespan then. Hadn't ever thought about the interaction between EA and the availability of updates via FDRS. I guess they must have some way to gate them there like they do for the OTA process.

I actually would, if it wouldn't cost me all the features of my '22 Lariat ER that seem to be gone never to appear again.

But if you're stuck without updates... how do you get this? I wonder if the relevant module updates could/should be applied by FDRS, to start OTA updates flowing more smoothly.

One brand or another always seems to be on sale cheap. Midwest was owned by GE and I don't know what happened to them really with all the corporate chaos there. One nice thing about those particular panels was that they were actually listed for use with most other brands of physically...

Buy the breaker bundled into a "spa panel" and you will get breaker plus enclosure for less than the cost of either.

Only thing to be aware of for those considering this is that if you ever intend to use the panel for any 120V loads, you'll need one extra wire in the cable feeding it, for the neutral. The EVSE itself just needs two hots, no neutral. This will increase the cost of the cable itself but because...

It depends which code cycle your municipality is on. For recent code cycles, a disconnect is required for any charger over 60A. However, unlike some other disconnects, this one does not have to be within sight. It does have to be "readily accessible", and it has to be lockable - which is...

Neither would anyone else sane, but there you have it: why the entire FCSP/HIS system is such an unreliable mess. They use wireless (2 different protocols!) to communicate between all the parts of their overly complex system when they have perfectly good wires available everywhere they need to...

Same here.

No - activate the charger you're using from the Tesla app, *then* plug into the truck. The other way may work but ensuring the charger is activated before you plug in will be more reliable.

I have worked for two companies that stopped shipping with UPS because of similar problems. I can tell you from painful experience that if you file an insurance claim, they will probably deny it because the "item was improperly packed". They did this to us with a box they literally ran over...
