Good morning from France,
I recently bought a 2013 Tesla S85 Signature. I trully love it and am currently learning about how to use it efficiently
The car has 195,000km, no major maintenance (that I've been told) but still around 90% of the battery life left, so pretty happy overall with this first electric car.
As it's a Signature model, it's nearly equipped with all the available 2013 options including the double onboard charger (2*11kW if I'm not mistaken).
But, here comes my first issue :
When charging in AC, it never goes above 6kW, even on 11kW charging stations.
I don't have this limit when supercharging (thus in DC)
Here are 2 different examples :
1. Charging on a Tesla wall charger set up at 11kW
2. Charging at home on a 230V - 32A using the UMC
As you can see, I never reach the Amps limit as it's never going above 6kW.
I asked for a service for Tesla and they are charging me 2500€ to change the onboard charger.
I know that there were some fuses issues on these generations BUT it seems like my problem description is not the same as the one I saw when the fuse was blown ?
Does anybody have an insight or have heard something about a similar issue ?
If not, my plan is to check the fuses during Christmas Holidays
Many thanks for your valuable help,
Arthur
