    Tesla wall connector gen3 overheating fix

    :mad: :mad: :mad: This is my Tesla Gen 3 charging experience. Three new Gen 3 model J1772 HPWC and the same results, ongoing for two months. Tesla's solution is to send a new HPWC. Last week they pushed a firmware update that didn't fix the issue. I've replaced the 60A breaker with a fifty and...

    Tesla wall connector gen3 overheating fix

    :mad: :mad: :mad:Two weeks later, my third new Tesla HPWC J1772 Model, and another three red light fault halfway through charging. Original configuration 6g THNN, 60A breaker, configured for 48A.

    Tesla wall connector gen3 overheating fix

    😒This is a follow-up to my defective HPWC post. I received my second replacement Tesla Gen 3 J1772 HPWC this week. With little confidence in this product, I decided to reduce the amperage and replaced my 60A circuit breaker with a 50A, along with a 50A setting in the commissioning process...

    Tesla wall connector gen3 overheating fix

    :mad:Previous Tesla Model 3 owner and currently have a 2023 Chevy Bolt. I recently replaced my ten year old plus Leviton 40A EVSE with the Tesla HPWC 3rd Gen, J1772 model. My Chevy Bolt charges Level 2 max of 11.5kw. The Tesla HPWC is a bargain compared to many other inferior, over priced EVSEs...

    Water collecting in Model 3 trunk lid?

    :(I washed my Model 3 today. After washing, I raised the truck lid and heard water sloshing inside the trunk lid as I raised and lowered it. When fully raised, I noticed water dripping from the pointed bottom edges on each side, as well as water dripping from the black plastic interior trunk...

    Model Y

    :)Stopped by the Richmond, VA Tesla store yesterday morning. Specifically, I was hoping to see the new Model Y. Tons of new Model 3 in every configuration, Models S, and X. I walked by the only Model Y on the lot, closely sandwiched between two other Tesla's. I though it was a X. I was really...

    Is the Model 3 on death row because of the Model Y?

    :)More options (models) are best. I believe the Model X might suffer loss of more sales than the Model 3. I'm a sedan guy. I prefer the size and cost of the Model 3 versus the Model S.

    light hearted request... your car name? - and why

    :)H3LL BITCH. From the Lonesome Dove mini series. The name of Tommy Lee Jones' gray mare horse. And, it's hot as hell.

    Worth it to upgrade from LR RWD to P3D?

    :)Yes, I could. Yes, I did. However, I could afford many things in life I don't have. Those are things I don't need.

    Wall Connector or a second Gen 2 Mobile Connector

    :)Tesla HPWC for me, charging 44 miles per hour at home. Plenty spend large amounts on accessories, wraps, paint correction, etc. My Tesla priority, top Model 3, fully equipped, matched to the Tesla HPWC providing the fastest home charging.

    Unexplained Reduced Regen Braking...

    :)Thanks for the information. It was 57 degrees in central Virginia this evening when I left work. I noticed more regen braking than the last couple of days. I love regen braking and was surprised when I didn't have as much as I was accustomed to.

    to support Tesla bought shares-now heavily rewarded. How many of you wish.....

    :)Great news for Tesla stock. I support the home team, but no Tesla stock. I have numerous stocks purchased over the past twenty years. Don't be fooled, plenty of other stocks are through the roof.

    Unexplained Reduced Regen Braking...

    :(I've had 2019.40.50.7 for several weeks now. I charged my Model 3 this past weekend. Charged to 80%, and realized regen braking was reduced. After several day of driving, strong regen braking hasn't returned. I checked settings and regen braking is set to "standard". I changed to "low" and...

    Not enough sales pressure?

    :)I've been a Tesla fan for a long time. Started with a Prius Plug In, BMW i3 BEV, and Bolt EV. I was always interested in a Tesla, just felt it was more EV than what I needed. I stopped by the Richmond, VA Tesla Store one day to look at the Model 3 and get some basic information. I spoke to a...

    Not enough sales pressure?

    :)As a adult, it's my responsibility to do "my" homework prior to making a big purchase decision. We're fortunate to have online forums like this that provide so much information, and the ability to ask questions and gather opinions. Don't be lazy.
