I think the first time he changed out a faulty breaker and just ASSUMED that was the problem. Yes, I’m hesitant about using these folks again in future. If so I would need to make sure I’m there during the testing phase at least.

My utility TOU plan is straightforward and displayed in my solar app. So I can schedule the times based on that and I should be covered. I’m in CA so rates are high. I used to be on a tier system at 32c and 42c for tier 1 and 2. Now my off peak on TOU is 21c, and peak is ~52c. Nice to know i...

So you use this product while driving or only while parked?

Slightly related topic. Does everywhere here as G3 wall connectors to your Tesla app? I haven’t yet, and I see I can still do schedule charging and departure as is. Not sure what else I’d really look to do with it.

Electrician: “It has narrow tabs that I missed landing correctly.” 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the review. I’ve been considering a variety of options for summer as during todays nice spring day, 75F, my car is parked in partial shade and is still 110 F inside. I do have a windshield shade in place, but otherwise car is stock.

Charger is working. They came by Saturday and I will wait till Monday to ask what the deal was. They didn’t send me photos of the terminals but I think they took the readings, so I can hopefully find out then.

I’ll think about this one…. But leaning no.

I was not present. For convenience (Lol) this was installed as part of a larger solar project. My point being the contractors were at the house for 4-5 days. I should have specified that I want to be present during the wall connector install and do a test charge. But I didn’t, and they...

Thank you. That’s what I figured. Contractor said they’ve done many of these installs and this one they aren’t sure what the issue. Possibly the unit but not sure as of now. Tesla support wants these three items to troubleshoot. Electrician will come back and get them (which I asked them to do...

Correct. I’m telling you, in smallish remote towns contractors have their choice of jobs and it shows. Compared to a city I grew up in (100k population) it’s vastly different. I specifically asked to meet them this time, to do a test charge, but didn’t.

Does anyone recall if the green LED lights on front of the unit glow as soon as the unit has power? Mine are not glowing right now, but again I haven’t connected it to my app yet. Not sure if that matters though. I did try to just plug it in to the car and same result as before.

Well the installer came back but didn’t notify me of his arrival. He told my wife afterwards that there was a bad breaker. I came home after work and have the same experience as before. I live in a fairly remote town so the installer choices are limited. Frustrated right now.

Yes it is. I checked that during the commissioning steps, Tesla has that spelled out before you hold down the button to connect to the wall connector network. Screenshot via https://www.tesla.com/support/charging/wall-connector/troubleshooting

Installer will be coming back tomorrow. I will share what I learn after that visit.
