It’s too easy to whine on the forums about negative experiences. He’s a positive one.
My Pure has been back for about a month following a motor replacement service. Over the past weekend, I started noticing coolant on the ground and eventually traced it to my car.
Lucid happened to text me...
In the Model 3, there’s a service mode option along the lines of a forced SOH reset. You run it with the car plugged in, and it will discharge to 0, then charge to 100. I’ve seen a percent or two adjustment before from doing that.
If it was due to a failure, they could’ve replaced it with a remanufactured pack that matches the wear, which they’re allowed to do. When my Model 3 pack was replaced due to failure, SOH only went from 87% to 89%.
The above is to say that while some issue or standing damage to the charger could have been the source of the actual heat generation, cars are built to anticipate this on both the AC and DC side and monitor individual temps to prevent this. So I still don’t blame the charger.
2 things that can cause port welding. Overtemp in the pins during charging which is absolutely measured by the car and likely measured by the charger, but it really should’ve been the cars job to end the session. The other is if somehow you were able to pull the gun in the middle of a session...
For my $0.02, wasn’t really difficult. Fairly direct communication from my advisor. When my car ended up coming in a day later than planned, (after a bit of pushing) they did put me in a loaner for the one day. My advisor also *provided* my referral code for a few of his following sales, which...
No go on the Roam. DC voltage is rated for 400V architecture vehicles. Wouldn’t have even tried if I could find that spec online. Still tried it on my Air, instant DC fault. Does work on our R1S however, 400V.
I recently bought the Roam ‘V2L-V2H’ box for testing. It theoretically takes dc from the vehicle in a reverse DCFC fashion to produce 120V and (single phase) 240V. If possible, I’ll give it a quick try on my air to see if it actually works.
