Love this type of content. Demystifying EV Repair. Would love to know what 10 cent item was faulty in the old unit. We need to be able to diagnose and repair vs accepting $1000 module replacements. There’s a lot of E waste that has to be recycled properly. Btw, How much was the replacement charger? what was the actual repair time?

The bZ4X comes with a dual-voltage portable charging cable and supports Level 3 DC rapid charging, making recharging as simple as plugging in your phone.

I haven't worked on any yet (as they're mostly still under warranty), but maybe at some point in the future! Getting diagnostic software and parts may be tricky though...

I heard s rumor that I can add a second AC charger unit to my 2019 Model S and double the max rate to 22 kW. Any thoughts on that?

Not possible to add a 2nd charger on Model S with the Gen 3 charger (2016 Refresh onwards). Depending on what market you're in, there are different options for the OBC though. Here in North America, there are 48A and 72A chargers (11.5kW and 17.2kW respectively). For Europe, the only option was a 24A 3 phase OBC (16.5kW).

Holy Moly! GM Ford Toy, VW will never be able to copy or clone a Tesla. China or Nam maybe but i doubt it will ever be the quality will ever be as good as a Tesla but GM, Ford, Toy VW has to make Tesla EVs maybe sub contact out or produce bodies or die ICE Car Industry is a Buggy Whip Industry and holding on to ICE is like Beating a Dead Horse!

The problem for ICE to EV production this is a simple part and means nothing when compared to the hardware and software needed to run this simple EV part.

Pretty large unit. Is that an 22kW model on these? Or 11kW.

Here in North America, it's an 11.5kW unit (48A on 240v single phase). There was also an optional 17.2kW (72A) version as well. In Europe, all of the "legacy" Model X came with a 16.5kW (24A on 400v 3 phase) OBC. Internally, they use the same hardware, which is essentially 2 or 3 24A blocks, which are run either in series or parallel for single or 3 phase depending on the market.

Nice, would be so cool if someone would be able get the ‘dual charger’ from the old Model S in Europe to work on the modern builds. Like a retrofit orsomething. Would be so chill to top up with 22 kW on the road when at diners or other local places with AC.

80 miles, albeit "City" miles, is still very respectable. Do a J1772 retrofit (Or even better, NACS), and this thing will be a very usable EV!
