whew, ok, you should be good up to 48amps on a 60amp circuit with 6ga conductors, assuming everything was torqued properly.

tapping the HV heater cables (which on a circuit that would enable 5000 watts) will not be enough for a 10kw inverter to run a 3hp (typical) 240v well pump unless it has a "soft-start" or you use the HV (400vDC) as input to a charge controller to charge external batteries. bad idea to use LFP...

YIKES! go back and reduce the max current before using! If you have a 60amp breaker, and have verified that the conductors to the charger are 6ga, you might consider setting the max current to 48amps, but NOT 60! because ev chargers present a continuous load for more than 2 hours, you MUST...

it's the connectors themselves. very delicate, and if you had your windsheild replaced, or the glue re-done with the recall, that probably started the problem. just jam some foam between camera and connector to keep it from vibrating.... works 99.9 percent of the time for me. only blinks if I...

because there is already breaker between dc-dc and battery terminals so the dc-dc cannot be overloaded when the car is on... and overload protection is at the inverter itself, and output breakers. Since I used an Anderson connector, there are no exposed 120v pos/neg ends. Low risk, so I didn't...

this was the easy/cheap repair.... if you want a flush floor that can support weight, you should fabricate spacer rails. noting more fancy than a couple 4x4 are required.

I spent the day yesterday at the Albuquerque Earthday participating in the EV car show. I decided to demonstrate V2L by exporting 13v power from the MME to run a little inductive cooktop.... not only cooking myself lunch, but encouraging people to thing about EVs for transportation AND virtual...

amazing, worked without a glitch w/ car "on" in garage (where it has a wifi connection to my home network). done in 2 minutes

I just got the message, reading thru this thread, still don't see why it's required so I am wondering why I should do an update or if I HAVE to or not. I have not updated phone app, or vehicle, for YEARS now...

lots of people have had this problem.... mini-coaxial connectors are notoriously delicate and prone to damage. I have had 99% of my "blinks" solved with a 10 minute DIY effort costing $0. https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/front-camera-fault-fix-w-foam-99-effective-takes-10-minutes.54268/

go lithium! check out eco-worthy or eg4. under $900 for 5kWhr now!

ok, I wrote up a thread to cover the fix I've had in place for about a year now.... https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/front-camera-fault-fix-w-foam-99-effective-takes-10-minutes.54268/

Like many others, I have had the occasional front-camera fault, which knocks out adaptive cruise with no warning, and sudden deceleration.... which can be quite distressing at highway speeds if you have a vehicle behind you. I followed a number of posts from others indicating that they tried...

thanks! Yes, the views like that are a beatiful part of remote installs....
