Oh I see , thanks for clarifying. I think I’ll look at pricing a DCC install; sounds like the right size solution

This marketplace listing has expired and has been removed.

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. There are 2 panels (in law suite) in the basement which are full. There isn’t any space for a third panel so I figure an outside DCC (no garage) might be the way to go but I didn’t know another panel is required.

My understanding is that it’s installed between the meter and panel, and that it can be installed in cases where the panel isn’t easily reachable. maybe I got that wrong ?

It does seem nice but it seems to requiring wiring in the panel, no ?

I’m considering installing a demand charge controller like the dcc-11 to help with winter charging (L1 doesn’t really cut it at -20C). This location has “full” panels technically but AC doesn’t run in winter and baseboard heaters don’t run in summer so I’m thinking DCC would do the trick here...

Depends if you’d be concerned with Tesla bringing up the non-standard work done on the charging system if you were to have a charging/battery issue. Personally I didn’t want to risk that or my free supercharging.

Fingers crossed that they’ll complete this one. Anyone pass by lately ?

I think many would want a hatch. Unfortunately in North America, car manufacturers make us upgrade to an “SUV” or in the case of Tesla, model S has a hatch but you know ….

750$ w labour I’m surprised it’s not part of powertrain honestly. Can’t really see this as a consumable or wear and tear. If this is the BEV equivalent of getting the timing belt done, at least it’s cheaper :)

It’s nothing universal unfortunately, just a personal extension for this particular local service rep. I explained how my insurance was about to stiff me and he offered his extension. I got lucky with this case . It’d be more sustainable if they had an option for insurance in their menu but...

I managed to connect both parties (got lucky calling the service center and they gave me a direct extension for the insurance to call). FYI, for those stumbling on this, mechanical breakdown coverage requires pre approval. For something like high voltage contactors it can soften the blow.

No it’s a claim for mechanical breakdown.HV contactors failed and I was left stranded at a supercharger 60 miles from the closest service center. I got the car towed to Tesla and fixed. Claimed it afterwards and now GEICO is trying to weasel out of it. They apparently need to talk to Tesla to...

Wondering if others have faced this. GEICO wants to speak with Tesla so they can get details on method of diagnosis (because you know , GEICO knows the right way to diagnose high voltage contactors). Of course they can’t get a hold of Tesla so they’re likely going to deny the claim. Is...

Thank you , I appreciate you looping back.
