    Open Vehicle Monitor System (OVMS) - Technical Discussion

    After a bit more digging, it appears the reason that OVMS does not work when it is in my garage is because the network it has chosen is not a viable option. I've drawn my conclusion from the following line of debug output: D (99999999) cellular: mux-rx-line #4: +COPS: (3,"313 100","313...

    Open Vehicle Monitor System (OVMS) - Technical Discussion

    Replying to myself - This does not resolve the problem. After about 24 hours OVMS selected ATT-Hologram again and received RegistrationDenied. So, I still don't understand why the SIM is denied on ATT but works on T-Mobile.

    Open Vehicle Monitor System (OVMS) - Technical Discussion

    I updated the firmware, installed the new modem, then tried with my existing US Mobile SIM. It was denied so I contacted their support and they said the "device" was not supported. I obtained a Hologram SIM and it immediately connected to ATT - Hologram and then said RegistrationDenied. After...

    Heating system has stopped functioning

    I have the same problem in my 2.5. The HVAC system has been the weakest link of my car. The HVAC has been replaced twice (the bit under the hood, not the interior control panel) because the AC quit cooling. The third failure was the heating subsystem exactly as you've described, blower runs but...

    USB port repair

    Agree with @X.l.r.8 it may be really easy to fix once you see what is on the other side of the panel. I don't know what part Telsa uses. but, USB type A female connectors are common. This one from Mouser might work 692121030100 Wurth Electronics | Mouser If you don't feel really confident...

    Tesla owners in Huntsville, AL

    My first Ranger visit in 2012 told me there were three other Tesla EVs in north Alabama. :cool: Recently when I was charging at Bridge Street a card was left on my windshield for the facebook group Tennessee Valley EV Drivers ( www.facebook.com/TennesseeValleyEVDrivers ). I've seen numerous...

    Not something you want to experience often....

    Evidence of an integer underflow error in the software. Seems like an obvious case to cover during testing.

    Florence AL Dest Chargers (Florence, Muscle Shoals, Tuscumbia, Sheffield)

    They are operational. It turned out to be a total of 12 stations. Four HPWC (charge at 40 amps) and two Clipper Creek (charge at 32 amps) at each location. One location is a faculty /staff parking lot adjacent to the Mathematics building and the other is a student parking lot across from the...

    Florence AL Dest Chargers (Florence, Muscle Shoals, Tuscumbia, Sheffield)

    I talked to the master electrician this morning. He has completed the installation of 4 HPWC units and will be installing 2 Clipper Creek units soon. He also shared that the university will set up another destination charging site across campus in a student parking lot across from "The Commons"...

    Florence AL Dest Chargers (Florence, Muscle Shoals, Tuscumbia, Sheffield)

    It appears the University of North Alabama is installing six chargers on the west side of the Mathematics building. The electrical is stubbed in for four 50 amp and two 40 amp branches and one of the installers said it was going to be four Tesla chargers and two EV chargers (J1772?). The lot is...

    Roadster 1.5 and Lotus Elise Sideview mirrors the same assembly?

    Based on dimensions from the 2.0 Owner's Manual (attached PNG) it doesn't seem like the mirrors will be the issue.

    Odd charging behavior (seen in logs)

    Yes, @gregd and @hcsharp shared everything here that CC shared with me. I also observed that the @hcsharp J1772 adapter is a passive device and that my OpenEVSE works great with his adapter.

    Odd charging behavior (seen in logs)

    I contacted Clipper Creek this past week and am in the process of gathering some additional information to share with them about the issue. Based on what has been reported to them, the issue is restricted to the Roadster. The technician (correctly) pointed out that the Roadster EVSE charging...

    Odd charging behavior (seen in logs)

    The car's logs show that when charging with the Clipper Creek HCS-40, my scheduled charge begins, ramps up the current to 30 amps, and finally tapers off at the end of the standard charge as expected. Then seconds after the charge cycle is complete, another charge will start. Current will ramp...

    Odd charging behavior (seen in logs)

    I guess that means I'm just catching the end of the UMC charge sessions in time. That would also explain the one or two times I've seen the green inlet color with my OpenEVSE when I just happened to be in the garage as the cycle ended. My Clipper Creek HCS-40 exhibits the "mini-charges" issue...

    OpenEVSE charging of Roadsters?

    No clue. My OpenEVSE came with a beige metal enclosure, not the poly one they offer now. There are no markings or button legend on my enclosure. I don't use the OpenEVSE menu often since the car's charging scheduler does everything I need. I just plug it in and the car kicks off charging overnight.

    Odd charging behavior (seen in logs)

    After examining the logs from the car I can now confirm that I see the same exact behavior on the Clipper Creek HCS-40 as @gregd. The car completes a standard charge and then begins a series of "mini-charges". This might explain why I don't see a green light around the inlet after using the...

    Odd charging behavior (seen in logs)

    I've got the 50A version with the V3 board. I've had it since May of '15. It charges the car in the expected time. I usually charge overnight to get the off-peak rate. I've always thought it was curious that the HCS-40 and the OpenEVSE didn't end with a green light in the inlet like the UMC. But...

    OpenEVSE charging of Roadsters?

    The button on the OpenEVSE is for navigating the menu options. The car starts the charging procedure by manipulating the pilot signal.

    Odd charging behavior (seen in logs)

    I can confirm something similar happens to me with my HCS-40 and 2.5 sport. I bought the HCS-40 because my UMC doesn't work when the ambient temperature is above about 80 (it shuts down due to excessive heat build-up in the fully potted electronics). When it is cool enough for the UMC, I always...

    Old farts reminiscing about computers

    Help? My Roadster just sprung a leak...

    Maybe battery coolant?? The only green liquid I know of in the roadster is the battery coolant. The reservoir is between the right rear wheel and door once you pop the trunk. It is anti-freeze, but I don't recall the type (I couldn't get it locally). I asked about it because in the winter my...

    Help with universal mobile charger for roadster

    The UMCs are widely known to be problematic. My first one died a mysterious death with a flashing error code that no one was able to explain. My second one only works in cold weather or if I use a fan to cool the electronics module during charging. In troubleshooting my UMCs, I monitored my 50...

    Alabama owners?

    Also a couple of Model S and Roadsters outside of Huntsville/Madison in north Alabama. Sadly, the only public chargers I know of in Alabama are at the McWane Science Center and Barber Motor Sports in Birmingham. It would be nice if Bridge Street in Huntsville would install a charging station for...
