Hey @Dweezel1 could you grab a few IR pictures at the start of charging and a few times over the first few minutes? Wondering if all the heat is coming from the receptacle, or from the NEMA 14-15 adapter as well. Copper is highly thermally conductive so you'd have to capture it at the beginning...

How is this different from any conventional ICE car with electric fans for the radiator? Porsche's "outside influence" position here indeed sounds like bullshit.

I had a Tesla charger NEMA 14-50 plug melt and get fused to the NEMA 14-50 receptacle. Learned that not all NEMA 14-50 receptacles are made the same. For a continuous draw use case like this you need a serious industrial duty receptacle. Next, let's assume that it's only the receptacle getting...

Not quite right for US owners. You need both an active timer and an active profile. The car will charge to the applied profile minimum then stop until the preferred charging time in the profile begins. Charging will then continue until the target SOC in the applied timer is reached, even if that...

I can almost guarantee that an obvious e-mail address like Mr. Blume's will have a person (or a team) reading those e-mails and filtering them out before Olivier actually sees them. Still, it's worth a shot...

For those of us too lazy to do our own research, @benver care to highlight any interesting finds in those?

AFAIK there is no way to STOP the car from charging BEFORE the target charge. You would need an EVSE with a timer to do this. Now one thing you could try, but it would be a big pain in the arse. Hang on until the end. First, disable your profile and set only a timer for 04:30. Next, guesstimate...

At extremely low speeds on inclines, there is some oddness. Consider that there is no regen available at such low speed so only the hydraulic brakes are effective. But the brake pedal isn't mechanically coupled to the hydraulic actuator for the first part of the pedal travel, so any braking is...

In the charging menu you can create a timer for preconditioning only (no set charging value). What I DON'T know is if that timer will be active if the car is not plugged in...

Try this: Disable all profiles and create+activate two timers: One for the end of your low tariff electricity at home (05.00), and the other for the earliest time you leave work. This should prevent the car from charging immediately when you plug it in if the SOC is < 25%. If you only charge at...

It was handy when we were first married and broke AF. That is no longer the case, and she is partly to thank. Now it's time to enjoy what we've worked for. At least that's my side of the story...

Might be on to the solution here: all profiles disabled + at least one active timer enabled = car ignores any minimum charge setting.

Nice. If I saw correctly, the cooling channels are narrow in the Z direction (to minimize height). It wouldn't take much of a bump (causing a dent in the skid plate) to impede flow through one of those channels.

I know it's not the cause, but acceleration so fast it makes the airbag fall out - that's a good one!

Yup - just to expand - every minute the chemistry sits at a very high or very low SOC is degrading (too high or too low temperature will accelerate the impact), but it takes a lot of accumulated degrade time before the loss of range would begin to be visible (years / tens of thousands of miles)...

Has anyone actually tried this (disabling any/all profiles) and then plugged in with the SOC < 25%? Does the car still charge to 25% (as if the general profile isn't actually disabled)? This is my current configuration (no enabled profiles, only timers) and I think the one time I plugged in with...

It's pretty simple to figure the Global Wife Support Level for anything based on time of day, most recent gift, most recent thing you did wrong, and a few other variables:

If you look up teenage boy in the dictionary, I'm pretty sure you find the above definition.

Things my wife does not like: Cars New technology Anything expensive Driving fast / fun / aggressive Anyone feel my pain...?

Great movie reference
