  Extension cable for Tesla Supercharger station?

  By ORcoast

  I'm new here and thought I might find a discussion on this topic, but I've not seen one. I have a 2026 Ioniq 5 and of course the charging port is on the rear passenger side. Tesla has the port on the driver's side. When charging at a Tesla fast charge station the short length of the cable on the charger requires that you take up 2 slots (1.5 more accurately, but I've yet to see half a Tesla). This works if the site isn't busy, otherwise it's a problem. I see that there are aftermarket... Read more

  Tesla Universal EVSE Connected, but 12V battery drained

  By Demian Johnston

  I have recently installed a Tesla Universal Wall Connector, and for the first time left my Clarity plugged in to it overnight. This morning I woke up to find my 12V battery drained! I found an old thread where folks have seen their 12V drain when plugged in to Juicebox’s in certain configurations (load sharing?) Has anyone else experience 12V drain while plugged in? Could this be a bug in handshaking between the Tesla Wall connector and our Clarity? thanks for thoughts!

  Time of day SuperCharger rates

  By bwilson4web

  I was one of two cars charging at a nearby, 8 stall charging station at 11:45 PM. Then in the next 15 minutes, all stalls filled up. The charge rate after midnight dropped from $0.38/kWh to $0.20/kWh. Local Tesla owners adapted by waiting for midnight rate drops to charge. Of course the congestion charges kicked in so I moved to another, 16 stall charging station and got the extra I needed. This explains how those without residential charging can own a Tesla and get close to... Read more

  Surprise, 85KWH battery is not compatible with P85D

  By willgarr

  I bought a used battery and installed it. After attempting software upgrades I took the car to Tesla. They said the battery was incompatible and offered to install a rebuilt one for $20K. I had not heard of this before as most forums and Tesla service documentation does not mention incompatibilities across the range of batteries from 60-85KWH. Anyone know if the car, battery or both can be reprogrammed to work with this battery? Apparently the P and D require a different battery. This is... Read more
