The ground pin is bonded to the neutral inside the outlet. Just like in a home where the grounding wires are bonded to the neutral at the main (first) cut off point in the system. Connecting it to Earth is something different that’s also done so lightning strikes don’t damage your system or devices in your home.

That box creates a bootleg ground which is not safe, it may work for simple charging but if the yeti box isn’t grounded with a separate electrode it’s not exactly safe, because there’s no where for fault current to go!

[@sum42guy2k]

Actually it is safe as there is a ground being produced in the same way as a house! If you open up an electrical panel there is a DIRECT connection between neutral and ground. In theory the only thing unsafe in this set up would be no actual ground to the ground, however the entire system is isolated, not connected to any thing, therefore there is no circuit. I don’t see any fault with this setup. Now if it was a GENERATOR with a metal frame, now there is a potential circuit, however this setup is still fine as long as the generator is hooked into a ground from the grounding lug. In fact that outlet is the only way to get generators to charge an electric vehicle unless the manufacturer did it internally (not many do, some do, but not many)

[@mzs112000]

Set your charging rate to 8 Amps on the Tesla. Charging at 12Amps will overload the Yeti 1400, and that's why you had issues. 8 Amp is the limit. Also, you should have got the Yeti 3000, which has twice the capacity, and then a 12A charger would be fine.

If only you knew how electricity functioned. Your life would be so much easier. Just need 2 extension cords plugged into 2 DIFFERENT circuits. = 220v at 30amps Every new extension cord adds 110v and at least 15amps. (If you need to ground carry a grounding rod with you and jumper cables. )

You sould limit the charging current for efficent power transfer. Li-ion batteries loose their effective capacity while discharging with high currents.

So it basically kept up with the power consumption the car uses at idle?

[@bradallen1832]

Well, basically, yes, but that's only in a warm climate which is already near the right temperature to charge a battery, so the battery actually collected one or two miles of range. In a cold climate or a very hot climate, the Tesla would use more energy than the small battery pack could provide. Furthermore, Teslas have a software problem in which they will shut down in such a way that you cannot provide enough energy to start it up again with such a small battery pack. The only niche case this is useful is if you notice the car says "1 miles range left" and you know you need 2 miles to get to the closest charger, so you start charging it right away with this tiny battery pack, before the exterior temperature (weather) messes you up. That is extremely unlikely.

[@thesurvivalist.]

Go get a Inergy Kodak 25lbs or Inergy Apex 20lbs! It is far less heavy. You can charge the battery while charging the Tesla.

Factor in the conversion loss (going DC to AC to DC again), and the heat loss as heard from the video by the fans running, I'm not surprised that you only got 2 miles.

Potentially if you had a lightning strike and you don’t have an isolated ground, then it will greatly damage the car. That outlet adapter thing your friend made combines neutral and ground together, which in a home setting is ok to do temporarily. It’s the same thing that a 3 prong to 2 prong adapter does. Neutral and ground are essentially the same thing. You’ll see this inside any breaker panel- All the white (neutral) wires connected to earth ground.

So, we got a vw e-up in the family, has about an 18 kwh battery. Also have a small generator with about 3500 Watts of peak continous power. Usually that's used for our party-and-barbecue shed out in the forest or as emergency power if it goes out because it runs really quiet and has a pretty low fuel consumption, even on peak power. With that bad boy, the Up charges about 15-20% an hour. Obviously the battery is considerably smaller but Still.

3 Tesla’s but two drivers

Dan: Talk seriously and adds serious music, to intensify people

[@pradumnsingh1938]

Maybe that's reason why the charging port broke ...

Another video showed the yeti 3k, it faults because the battery can't sustain the full 1400 watts being pulled. Have to adjust the charge being pulled from the vehicle. The Tesla's battery is too big even with the 3kwh pack that goal zero makes. For us poor people with smaller battery EVs, this setup with a 400w solar panel would work great. Cool video, finally got to see a Model X over last weekend!

Hi love ur vids

[@icekk007]

Your Tesla Model X has an energy consumption of ~400 Wh/mile. A model 3 can achieve 250 Wh/mile. Therefore for the same portable battery, you could get 2 x 400/250 = 3.2 miles. In an emergency, by driving a Tesla Model X at 20-5 mph, the consumption can be as low as 100 Wh/mile, effectively quadruple the range added by the portable battery.

tl;dr: Driving actually uses a crapload of energy.

Great editing Dan! Keep it up

Good to know what the roadster’s license plate is

[@unbekannternutzer8506]

The calculation is pretty simple. The 1400yeti has 1400wh capacity. The Tesla has a power consumption of around 20kwh per 100km which is 5km per 1kwh. At 1.4kwh (1400wh) it should be around 7km or 4-5 miles (without any losses taken into account. These could be as high as 30% and reduce the range to 2-4 miles per 1400yeti)

Whats Inside, I recomend trying the Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 1500, 1534Wh Portable Generator with 3x110V/1800W AC Outlets, for Outdoor RV/Van Camping, Overlanding it actualy has a ground port on the powerbank!

You need to find someone to tow your Tesla while regenerating your battery. Engineering explained show that it is actually pretty efficient.

Can I make another golf video?

[@eurofootball8723]

Wow you liked it thx

[@rayanrebahi6194]

You should know that your batteries charge slower beyond 80 %, redo this with an almost flat tesla. Also, that box you got, thats totally not grounded
