Great video. I also have a question about software needed to go from a MCU1 to an MCU2 unit. My gauge cluster bubbled out and I replaced the screen with a new unit but it wouldn't light up. Took it to dealer who said I need to replace the gauge screen, center screen with a new MCU 2, replace the radio and cameras all to the tune of $2800. What BS for a 6 yr old car. So I wanted to know if the radio is part of the center monitor assembly and if anything has to be done electronically to simply switch out an older MCu1 unit with a newer MCU2 unit. Also can the chip replacement as you described do the same thing as updating to the MCU2 unit?

Hi David, does that style of adapter that you show in this video work with older model x ? I remember a few years back the only available option from Tesla was that rather bulky and expensive adapter with a thick cord
@DavidDrivesElectric3 ай бұрын
@@AliMoeeny the old large adapter you mentioned is probably the old Chademo adapter. Those plugs are getting phased out. The adapter I used here is for CCS which is much more common these days. Older Tesla vehicles need a hardware upgrade to be able to use that one. You can reach out to Tesla in the app and ask them if you car can use the CCS adapter or if it needs an upgrade. I think it's $250. I think it's worth it if you are doing road trips. It gives you a lot more options.

Thanks, David! The biggest knock on the Delta units is their slow activation times (they put the safety of the connection first), but Autocharge is a great option with EVgo. Also, the units you are using are roughly equivalent to "Urban" Superchargers (about 200 A), so 70-80 kW is the max speed you should expect. EVgo's 350 kW chargers would be somewhere between V2 and V3 speeds for Tesla EVs when charging.

@@newscoulomb3705 at this site there were two of these 100 kW units and two 350 kW units. I usually use the 100 kW because I am rarely in a hurry. I really love the auto charge. As you say, as an EV owner you quickly get app fatigue. Question for you, I saw the charger had the GM logo on it. Did GM buy EVGo?

If you take out the seat, but leave all the sensors just laying on the floor like that, will the car give you any error messages while driving? Like passenger restraint faults or anything like that? I'm wanting more space in my Model 3 and want to remove the seat, but don't want constant nagging by error messages.
@DavidDrivesElectric4 ай бұрын
Yes there are lots of sensors the car needs to be happy. If any of them are missing it will show an error message and it might not do software updates. I was very careful to keep all necessary sensors connected. The occupancy sensor and heating element are part of the seat and you have to cut them out of the leather. There is no other way. Air bag and belt tensioner are also needed but dangerous to have in case of an accident. You can replace them with simple resistors, though. I'll have to make a video about the whole process. There is a lot more than I initially thought.

@DavidDrivesElectric4 ай бұрын
It says 43 kWh but I'm not sure how accurate that is. In the early years, Tesla would count how much actually went into the battery. But then they changed it to how much the charger delivered. Depending on how much the car needs to cool the battery and cabin, that number is higher than what actually went into the battery. I have Scan my Tesla. It shows the data directly from the CAN bus. I'll do another video when I get a chance
@ThomasBrixPedersen4 ай бұрын
Sorry to say, but this video is pointless. The chargetime is depending on the kWh you are putting into the car, and on your screen it shows only +43kWh. So your charge time is 26min or so, do to the fact you have a low power charging, and that have nothing to do with the car, but the charge source you are using.
