When I try to change the current via SMS, nothing is happening.. Am I doing something wrong here?
I tried:
CHARGEMODE RANGE 13
CHARGEMODE 13
I get reply that the change is requested, but nothing is happening..
i copied the following from the instructions for ACC:
//////////////////////////////
Advanced Charge Control
The Advanced Charge Control system is designed to supplement the (aka take over from) vehicle's own charge scheduling. It should support any vehicle with charge control, but at the moment that means only Tesla Roadster. It has some pretty sophisticated features. For the moment, it is setup via SMS, but in future we will allow smartphone Apps to do this. Once setup, it runs autonomously, and doesn't even require a cellular connection.
ACC works from the concept of a 'charge location'. This is a geofenced location that is used for charging, and you can configure up to 4 of these (numbered #1 through #4). To define the car's current location as a 'charge location', sms "ACC HERE" to the car, and it will allocate a free slot and reply to you with it. You can use "ACC NOTHERE" to clear the current location.
If you want to clear a particular ACC location, you can sms "ACC CLEAR n" (to clear one location), or "ACC CLEAR" (to clear all locations).
You can show the current status off ACC with “ACC STAT”.
You can show the ACC details for the current location by sms "ACC PARAMS?" (or for a particular location by "ACC PARAMS? n" - which is very useful if you have crappy cellular connectivity like I do).
The ACC parameters for a particular location are configured with the "ACC PARAMS" SMS. You can list a location number (1, 2, 3 or 4) as the first parameter - or don't specify location if you just want to configure the current location the car is at. After 'ACC PARAMS", you can set the parameters you would like, from the following:
COOLDOWN - perform a cooldown charge (13A range mode, with cooling cycles) when the car is plugged in at this ACC location
NOCOOLDOWN - don't do a cooldown charge (default)
HOMELINK n - activate homelink when the vehicle drives to within 100m of an ACC location (the idea is to open our garage door / gate automatically as you approach)
NOHOMELINK - don't activate homelink (default)
CHARGEPLUGIN - charge the car on plugin (but after cooldown, if enabled)
CHARGEAT HH:MM - schedule charge to start at the specified time (hours:minutes, 24hour clock)
CHARGEBY HH:MM - schedule charge to complete by the specified time (hours:minutes 24hour clock)
NOCHARGE - don't charge (default)
LIMIT n - limit charge current to n Amps - must be specified for all CHARGE* actions
MODE m - set charge mode (where "m" is STA(NDARD), STO(RAGE), RAN(GE) or PER(FORMANCE)) - must be specified for all CHARGE* actions
STOPRANGE r - stop charge when range "r" is reached (specified in vehicle units, set to 0 (default) to not limit).
STOPSOC s - stop charge when SOC "s" is reached (specified as a percentage, set to 0 (default) to not limit).
The actions to take at a particular ACC location must be enabled with "ACC ENABLE" (or "ACC ENABLE n") before they will work. You can also disable with "ACC DISABLE" (or "ACC DISABLE n").
If you are using CHARGEAT or CHARGEBY, you need to specify the timezone of the vehicle. This is parameter #23 and is specified as HH:MM offset from GmT (with an optional leading "-" if west of Greenwich).
The default temperature limit for cooldown is 31Celcius, and time limit is 60 minutes. If you want to change these, you can set parameter #15 to templimit:timelimit (e.g.; "31:60").
Note that you can also cooldown manually, while charging, with the SMS command "COOLDOWN", and see the status with SMS "STAT".

Your command should read:
ACC PARAMS MODE RANGE LIMIT 13
ACC ENABLE
