My Standard charge comes in at about 163 "Ideal" miles (about 262km) on the VDS display. Range mode runs that up to about 212 miles (341km).Thanks, very helpful. What real range does your 138 CAC get you?
My 2010 2.0, built June 2009, has a CAC of 138. Charges to 161 in Standard Mode and about 211 in Range Mode.
Now, these numbers really help! I notice that the difference between normal and range mode is bigger then that in my MS (presumed I charge the battery up until the indicated max of the daily mode). The Roadster does, with the help of an adaptor, charge on a type 2 soccet (at least that's what its called here in Europe)? How does the charging speed compare to that of an MS? Is it more or less the same ? My MS has a dual charger, so I presume the Roadster might charge at half that speed (for everything above 16 amps)?
I believe range mode unlocks 15% at the top end of the battery (by charging Fuller) and 10% at the bottom (by allowing to drain more) - so about an additional 25% capacity
I'm in the US - most public chargers here support roughly 6 kW (30A x 208 V) which equals adding about 30 mph or 6-7 hrs for a standard charge.
At a full 70A at 240V (roadster Max) a standard charge takes under 3 hrs.
Most of the public chargers here supply about 11 kW (3x16 A @240V). This will ad about 40-50 km/h in my MS. Some offer 22kW, loading about 100 km/h. Not sure what that will do in a roadster.
OK, do I interpret this correctly by saying the Roadster will only charge on one phase?EU use 3phase 11 kw(400V 3x16A(230V on single phase) that will be only be 3,7kw on single phase (18km/h)
OK, do I interpret this correctly by saying the Roadster will only charge on one phase?
That is new to me. I need to look at the home installation. With 3 X 25 A it's quite enough to get the MS up and running in time. That might be a different story for the Roadster, then... Hmm. Is there a way to overcome that (perhaps a kind of cable or charger that converts 3 phase into one more powerful phase)?Yes. The classic Tesla Roadster is only capable of single phase charging.

Great! That will do perfectly...
The Model S UMC along with a CAN-SR adapter can work with the Roadster just fine. Alternatively, you can use the CAN-JR or Tesla's J1772 adapter cable and any of a number of EVSEs that provide a J1772 connector. That's what I did. The common starting point, as you note, is the 14-50 outlet. It's kind of the universal high power AC outlet. Just leave the UMC plugged in, so as to not wear out the 14-50 connector contacts.I'm looking to upgrade the 110V outlet in my garage to a 240V. Do I need to install a wall connector/EVSE? I have the Model S UMC which has a NEMA 14-50 adapter. I was going to just install the outlet and hookup my cable which I've been doing with no issues thus far.
Agreed with Jaff. I'm convinced that TEG is the closest human alive to succeeding at this. I started doing the same thing nearly four years ago, and I'm probably at 1/4th of the Roadsters he has knowledge of (I have 378 cars logged, US production only). I would say that the majority of those I have located here on the forum in older posts.
