The big issue with the original raider and it’s lack of a 12v battery was it’s phantom drain. If you didn’t plug it in, the electronics drained the HV battery and irrecoverably bricked them and needing a replacement costing £lol. What’s even better is that you can no longer get them new so you can’t easily replace it even if you wanted to.

I still can't understand why they fail. They must go through the same amount of charge cycles as an ice car.

Mine failed but only because the cable between the main battery and the 12v failed so it wasn't being recharged.

Please tell, did they forget to screw it on tight
. I just think I've not know a battery die that was that new, I think my e92 had an 8 year old battery in it still going strong. Seems a bit ironic tesla put a Guarantee on the big battery that's new tech, but the older stuff I.e. the 12v is the stuff that fails.

Was using some free chargers this weekend. My local tescos has a 7, 22 and 50. Both the 7 and 22 are free, but the 50 is only 28p/kwh so might be cheaper if you need a quick charge.

They replaced the entire battery harness which is a $250 part so not sure!

I'd go for the 22kW charger if they're free. Mainly because you could get some shopping done without rushing back to a car that's hit the charge limit and it's not that slow. 7kW is only useful if you're going to a shopping centre with the mrs and want to leave the car there all day

But there is no 22kW charger…
Here’s me without the Model 3 again but know they only have an 11kW Onboard charger.

22kw chargers are common public chargers - that doesn't mean you get 22kw!!
22kw chargers are 3 phase chargers (AC)- so you get 11kW as your maximum rate on M3 from a 22kw charger (AC)
50kW are usually DC chargers and this can get faster (in theory up to 50kw but rarely see that due to battery conditions/supply etc)
The Model 3 has 3 x 16A chargers. They combine 2 x 16A to give 32A / 7kW single phase, or use all 3 to give 3 x 16A = 11kW 3 phase. To get 22kW, it would require chargers with twice the power capacity, ie 3 x 32A.

Don’t quote me please in some effort to “correct”.
For AC the charger is in the car. The wall unit is the EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment). The end.
EDIT.
oh and two phases of 16A do not combine to 7kW single phase… clue is the name!

I’d plug into a 22kw over a 7kw if I knew I’d benefit from the extra speed. Supermarkets are those sorts of places as you are only in there an hour or so tops. If I was going to be 3-4 hours then I’d probably pick a 7kw post unless I was really low.
Although it is annoying when a PHEV is plugged into a 22kw post pulling 3.4kw while 7kw posts are available…

I didn’t say there was. My point was I’d pick 22kW over the 7kW or the 50kW if I had a chance as it’s the better compromise between speed and cost

Oh yeah deffo. I’d grab 11kW for free any day of the week over 7kW.
The narrative was just misleading that’s all.

Sorry just to be clear the 22 and the 7 had no cost, so if the 22 is empty it would be a no brainer to use. Ironically there was another tesla using it
.
.on charging - the new bjorn video is interesting on 800V charging, where he's putting up a strawman on why ioniq 6 charging is more efficient than taycan,
maybe tesla will adopt ioniq's approach though. (I'd like to see if engineering explained guy, or Munro substantiates theory, as there's a bit of hand waving)
Why Korean engineering is better than German engineering

Has to be a bot.
Has anyone deployed TeslaMate to Azure App Service? I'm wondering which of the advanced installation options is preferable. Leaning towards the one that uses Traefik since it obtains the certificate from Let's Encrypt for you.

I did think about doing that in one of my DigitalOcean droplets, but I just run it on Hyper-V on a microserver I have in the house. Doesn't need to be accessible inbound from the internet to work, so I'd rather keep data like that on-prem and then use my VPN to connect in if I really need to view it when I'm out and about (unlikely).
