I've been sticking with Tesla chargers (and a 1 month Tesla membership) with pretty good success - also travelling to Florida. There was one bad Tesla supercharger site in Woodbridge, VA that had 4 out of 12 chargers down - but the rest of the stops were all good.
If you have the Max Tow...
Just wanted to add some updates...
TL;DR;
Another leak found in the HVB cooling system.
I had another instance of charge speed reduction during a road trip a few months ago.
Same symptoms as before. Around 30% SoC - fast initial charge rate 170KW+ then quickly drops below 100KW and keeps...
Excellent suggestions everyone. This is a great community!
I just tried combinations of turning off auto hold/reverse braking assist/cross traffic/sensors off/1pd off/ etc. and in my case it didn't help. Truck seems to get confused trying to clear the front wheels over that garage lip when I...
It's frustrating trying to reverse the Lightning into my garage.
There's a small rise at the lip of the garage entrance and getting over that is difficult for the front wheels because the truck constantly cuts the power and puts on the brakes because it thinks there are obstacles.
The truck...
Interesting. That's 2 data points (including mine) with a bad schrader valve for the Max Tow AC.
My dealer had trouble finding the leak initially, before finally locating it at the schrader valve. So for folks with low freon in the Max Tow AC system (which leads to the battery overheating...
UPDATE:
Tried fast charging on a hot day after the dealer fix and it's working normally now! Peaks at 170kW for a few minutes, then holds steady at 133kW then a gradual taper around 70% and then the big taper at 80%.
Fans kicked in loudly this time during charging.
Car Scanner showed Coolant...
Posting this in case it helps someone else that encounters this issue.
TL;DR; Turned out to be a refrigerant leak in the AC system that keeps the battery cool - I have the Max Tow package with the separate cooling system.
I don't fast charge often, but recently noticed that in 90F and above...
Bummer. That does seem pretty bricked.
Sounds like you've already checked all the fuses and relays.
Only other thing that comes to mind is to hook up an OBD reader and see if you can pull any error codes to show what might be going on.
OP, I agree it doesn't stop this stupid issue. I've even had the radio come on automatically after playing a video from the user manual.
It's just a way to stop the noise as soon as possible.
Ditto! I just started getting the same rattle when the sun screen cover is closed. Took me a few drives to locate the source. Opening mine part way also stops the rattle.
