Jordan, you can open the charge flap without your phone by pressing on it as if it’s a touchscreen, sort of like a normal fuel cap, lightly press on the flap and it’ll open (It’s a bit annoying when clearing the car in that area, opens every time the sponge goes over it). The app, the screen inside the car, and the Tesla charger button aren’t the only ways to open the flap. Great vid

[@darrenmccoy]

I’m sure someone else has already said that you can open your charging cover by tapping it with your finger. You don’t have to use the app or the chargers button.

[@haakonness]

He knows, he mentioned that in his other tesla charger video

[@danoberste8146]

Coil the cord with larger, but fewer loops. I have the long cord too, even though I usually don't need the full length. My loops are large enough that when I park in my normal spot I don't even have to remove a second loop. It makes hooking and stowing SOOOOO much easier. And a bonus is that with fewer loops the plug is less obstructed when returning the plug to its holder.

Instead of drilling many holes in your wall for ever new charger fit a replaceable panel on the wall that keeps its fixings and you either replace or redrill for each new charger 👍

Hi . Is there anything that stops someone parking on your drive and charging up for free and then pissing off. ??

[@John_Doe742]

A gun

[@SteeleMoto]

looks like you need to get a piece of sacrificial wood on that wall to screw the chargers to before your house is held up with plugs. top video, waiting for the next

[@FistralG]

Jordan doesn’t care it’s not his house.😀

[@davepusey]

And a junction box to save the ends of his external cable.

[@UltraviewXLimited]

I was also going to suggest some wood on the wall so he doesn't have to keep drilling the wall.....

[@joemoore9991]

Seen as that it’s a pretty high load. Does the tethered lead not have to be fully unwound to avoid it heating up?

[@davepusey]

@@joemoore9991 Yeah you would think so. It's the same reason you are supposed to fully unwind those extension leads that are on a spool.

[@stuartpetty4187]

Just a thought on the PEN fault detection- you mentioned that the Tesla Gen3 charge point would cut off if there wasn’t a good enough earth, would this effectively be the same? Enjoying your videos, keep up the great work. 😎

[@khilanshah6404]

If you have a TNS system, does the Tesla charger still require Pen Fault Protection

[@williamyates2794]

Jordan ,is the penfold unit still required for the new Tesla charger purchased recently? Also do you have any idea the set up for the following - power wall is already installed along with solar panels , does the charger wire direct back to the consumer unit or power wall ?

[@williamyates2794]

That should say Pen fault by the way bloody iPad 😂

[@cbcdesign001]

Still cant touch the Zappi then since it doesnt have built in Pen fault detection.

[@Kiev50f]

“TESLA WALL CONNECTOR” looks awesome, does it charge other makes of EV? Planning to get a Tesla model 3 and a second EV not sure what yet.

[@Toliman.]

The only benefit is the radio tag / button to open the cover remotely saving you the time to open the charger door and enabling the charger. It’s neat, but it’s not a CCS or J1772 “Level 2” AC plug. You won’t be able to use the Tesla plug with a non-Tesla. The pins are different to the J1772 standard. There are extensions and sockets to convert them, ie travel adaptors, but the charger has to be enabled manually for the non-Tesla car. Super chargers won’t work, because the radio tag identifies the car and charger remotely for billing. If you have a second car, you may need additional 32A cabling to a second circuit, or a 40A/63A circuit which can be shared/load balanced. This usually requires both EVSE units monitoring each other’s usage with a communication cable (RS485 modbus) and/ or CT clamp to detect and balance the load for each unit to avoid surge or overloading the charger/circuit. This way you can share a Tesla and non-Tesla wall charger in the same garage, only one needs to be the “slave” which compromises charging speed, but if they communicate together, they will usually negotiate the capped charge rate or step down to half so one will take priority, sic If you have 3-phase, you can get ~11kw on the Tesla charger, across 2 wall chargers, as they will talk to each other (RS485 modbus) for circuit/load balancing.

[@deansh8506]

Yes as long as its a type 2 socket EV.

[@HenryLoenwind]

@@Toliman. There is, sadly, not a single correct statement in your post.

[@OneContinuum]

@@Toliman. In Europe Tesla uses CCS1/2, not the proprietary connector they have in North America.

[@iainkay3630]

@@artisanelectrics any chance you know what the name of the track is? Also, nice improvement on the gen 3 Tesla charging port.

Tesla wall connector. Great videos, very informative, keep up the great work

[@martin16416]

Great video, lots of useful information. One thing I find interesting is that when you connect to one of these via WiFi, L1 to N, L1 to E, N to E and earth impedance are all displayed. My understanding of an O-PEN device is it monitors L-N and cuts all 3 if it goes out of the window. Given the Tesla gen 3 is clearly already monitoring this data (and more) it would appear quite straightforward for them to include o-pen monitoring via an ota update, which would be a game changer for UK installations. I'd love to hear what you think about this!

[@emilbrynildsen6560]

You should definitely test Easee charger.

[@thomasoddberge4225]

Easee is a Brilliant charger, Also in the old wall connector there was a dip switch to select it/tt supply that bypass the TN N-E test the charger does if you want to add an earth rod instead of the pen fault detector.

[@artisanelectrics]

Here's the thing about the button.... 99% of the times you plug in, you've JUST got out of the car. So it's unlocked, and you can just press on the flap. Sticking with my Zappi. :-)

[@obajer]

TRUE!

[@Zindiaklimited]

True. The issue isn't plugging-in it's unplugging that's when the button really helps. Having said that Tesla really ought to fix the software so the cable is unlocked when the car is unlocked.

[@ChrisComley]

Fair point but I rarely find it an issue. Getting your phone out and clicking the un-lock button is less of an aggro so long as you remember to do ti whilst walking to your car. :)

[@AndyK.1]

Landlords gonna love all those holes in the wall 😂

[@leephcom]

You're right, I cringe every time I drill a hole in the wall of the house I own :D

[@alanjrobertson]

Jordan - do you realise that to open the chargeport you can just touch it and the flap will lift up? (as long as the car is unlocked) 😉 Still a pain when stopping the charge where the button helps, but thought you might like the tip when charging elsewhere 😂 (PS have shared the vid to the Tesla UK Owners Group too)

[@AndyK.1]

Before leaving the car you can also say, open butt hole and the flap will open 😂

I had a gen 2 installed in my Florida garage. It took all day to charge, like 8 plus hours. I now moved to a condo and use the local supercharger, less than 40 min. I have a model 3 perf. I'm also glad I got the longer cable when I had the home charger.

[@squadron69]

Tesla Wall Connector Would be great to swap out the terrible unit that I currently have, the first unit lasted three days before packing up and it took the company a month to come back out to look at it and end up replacing it. It’s supposed to be smart but it’s that smart that it can’t work unless it’s connected to the internet. The novelty of the button to open the flap rather that messing with your phone is rather appealing too.

[@cmsilvester]

HI Jordan - great video and many thanks for posting. I want to install the Tesla wall connector, but have a TN-C-S supply, Earth rods/Mat are not really an option, and from my research the PEN fault devices available for 1Ph supplies do not really comply with BS7671:2018 Amd 1. I'm guessing that the Zappi is the best option? Thanks

[@artisanelectrics]

I would highly recommend the hypervolt as a great option, check out some of the videos I have made recently about it

can you wire straight from the consumer unit to power the PEN device or do you need to take a main feed from the incoming tails?
