When I pressed start in the Tesla app AFTER the cable and adapter were connected to the EQS port, the charging session failed to start. Changing the sequence of steps to start the session in the app, remove the connector from the pedestal, attach the adapter to the cable, and then connect to the...

I found that I had to start the session in the Tesla app before removing the NACS plug from the charger pedestal. Then I attached the adapter and connected the assembly to the car port. Did you start the session after connecting to the car port?

Can you describe what did not work? Did you get as far as being able to find the non-MD Superchargers on the map in the Tesla app? Or was the failure after you connected the adapter to the port?

https://www.plugshare.com/location/567823 https://www.plugshare.com/location/652786 https://www.plugshare.com/location/571268 As of this morning it's no longer necessary to use the authorized vehicle hack for EQS EVs.

I charged my EQS SUV with the Tesla adapter on 1-Feb-2025 with no problems. I would not be surprised if Tesla has an issue with the adapters being provided by Kia since are rated at a lower amperage than the Lectron or Tesla adapters.

I have been charging my EQS SUV at Tesla Superchargers with MagicDock (MD) for over a year. Since December, 2024 I have also been able to charge at non-MD stations. In both cases I have been initiating the charging session from the Tesla app, which is very easy to do. Much easier than the...

If the ramps have not shipped yet I would consider changing to this model: https://www.raceramps.com/ramps/magna-inclines/p/rr-restyle-in-16/ This is a set of inclines only for RR's full lift ramp set. It's steeper (10.4 degrees) than the 11" ramps you ordered, but they are 2" wider, and 3"...

That is especially true if you check in at the hotel late in the evening. I find that arriving at the hotel by 5:00pm or 6:00pm significantly improves the chances of getting a charger spot.

I thought my close to 900 M/B nights was a lot. But, 2000 puts you in a completely different league. On my 6800 mile trip in April/May I stayed at Marriott properties with EV chargers on all but three nights. Chargers seemed to be more available and better maintained at hotels where fees were...

If you are staying at the Courtyard in Rapid City, watch out for the deep potholes near the chargers. When I stayed there 3 months ago 50% of the destination chargers were not working.

Dedicating 4 to 10 parking spots for EV charging may be problematic in the relatively small Starbucks parking lots.

Seems reasonable to me. On my last 6800 mile road trip, we experienced most congestion at the EA stations in California. What EA seems to be ignoring is that cars charging beyond 85% SoC is not the only cause of the congestion. The stations where we charged had 25% to 50% non-operational chargers.

You didn't mention exterior fit and finish. The paint job on my 2018 Model 3 drove me crazy. The unpainted primed areas on the hinge side of the front door jambs made it look like the car was poorly repaired after an accident. Bird droppings would dissolve the clear coat. Fortunately, I was...

Are you certain that the links on the Sedan and CT are different lengths? Adjusting the ride height should be able to be accomplished in the software.

After reading this thread I was curious about a few things. 1) If the original links are heated to facilitate removal, does this compromise the links in a way that would preclude them from being used to return the car to stock height. The factory links probably have an operating temperature...

No adapter needed to experience hell at EA. Tesla MagicDock is more like adapter heaven.

Do both cars have the 150kW charging option for 400v chargers? I think one could make an argument that this feature could be just as important as the higher capacity battery.

This sounds like something that would be published in the Journal of Irreproducible Results which was a journal that would circulate around the office 50 years ago and cost at least one man day of productivity every month.

Your friend with the Tesla will be able to determine if the EVSE is functioning. But, you need another friend with a CCS port to confirm that the J1772 adapter is working. If the non-Tesla and non-Taycan friend's car charges, you will need a friend with a Taycan to rule out your car as the...

11.2kW on a 240v circuit indicates you are running at 47A on a 50A circuit. I don't believe that would be considered a Best Practice. Are you certain that the Tesla Wall Connector is configured for a 50A circuit? It sounds like it is configured for a 60A circuit.
