Hopefully this fix will stay, but many of us are having the same issue and after restarting the phone or even turning bluetooth off, the PAAK will not connect. Our issues started after the January Android update on Pixels, the version of Ford Pass do not matter as I have had 5.10, 5.10.1 and...
I am spoiled too. Having PAAK for both the MME and Model 3 removed having additional items in my pocket. I am down to just 2 keys, one for the mailbox and one for backup to unlock house door in case the key pad fails due to low battery. I also have a Ridge wallet to keep what few items I...
I decided to test my old Pixel 4 that is stuck on Android 13. I reset all PAAK in the car and then set up the Pixel 4 with PAAK, with the same Ford Pass version that is on the Pixel 8 running Android 15. After successfully downloading the key and setting up a new Backup Start Code. I got out...
I just turned the bluetooth off on my Pixel 8 and then back on and this will cause the PAAK to fail and stay trying to reconnect. Not sure if turning airplane mode on and off will also cause a problem.
Seems I will have to carry the fob until at least the February Android update for the...
MME Job 1 built end of 1/2021 and I took delivery end of 3/2021. Still on original LVB, so 48 months since build, 46 months since delivery.
My 2018 Model 3 sent me a notification 11 days before the end of my 48 month / 480000 mile non battery / motor warranty that the LVB needed to be replaced...
What I know is the following:
V2 Superchargers support only the old Tesla protocol using the CAN.
V3 Superchargers support both the old Tesla protocol and the CCS protocol.
My 2018 is not compatible with the CCS protocol and will require a retrofit to be able to use the Tesla CCS to NACS...
Tesla V3 and upcoming V4 supercharger cables are liquid cooled, V2 are not. Not sure if the upcoming next gen Ford EV's with NACS ports will be able to use V2 as well as V3 and V4 but the NACS to CCS1 adapter will only be able to use the V3 (and presumably V4) sites according to Ford's press...
I have both a Mach-E and Model 3 so a good basis for comparison.
2018 Model 3, RWD, Long Range
2021 Mach-E, AWD, Extended Range.
1. Will slower charging be more noticeable in the future, probably, but not so much that it will really matter, other than trying to beat the EV Cannonball...
Actually, the CCS1 to NACS adapter only became available to Tesla owners in 2022 and it is an optional accessory. Some older Tesla's, including my 2018 Model 3, will need a retrofit to be able to use it.
Tesla has included a J1772 to NACS adapter for years with the cars for L1 and L2 charging.
I have had my TeslaTap for over 2 years to charge the MME on my second gen Tesla Wall Connector. I never have had an issue with it charging the car. I wait 30 seconds after connecting the Wall Connector to the adapter before plugging in. I have forget 1 or 2 times and not had an issue, but...
Yes, the same issues with using the Magic Dock will still occur with using the provided adapter, parking close enough for cable to reach and potentially blocking an adjacent spot from a Tesla being able to use it. The V4 Superchargers should eliminate most of these issues with a centered...
I noticed this in the press release from Ford:
A Tesla-developed adapter will provide Ford F-150 Lightning, Mustang Mach-E and E-Transit vehicles fitted with the Combined Charging System (CCS) port access to Tesla’s V3 Superchargers. Ford will equip future EVs with the NACS charge port...
I read about this on one of the Tesla forums. While I think electric vehicles should pay something to contribute for highway/road maintenance and construction, what is proposed is way higher than most would pay in a similar sized ICE vehicle. The current gasoline tax in Texas is $0.20 per...
Did you use the Tesla Wall Connector on another vehicle before the Mach-E, and if so, did it charge at expected speeds? All generations of Tesla Wall Connectors allow settings to be changed to vary the amp output up to the maximum (48 amps on the Gen 2 and Gen3, some Gen 1 allowed up to 80)...
I agree with the others, an adapter will work fine. I use my existing Tesla Wall Connector with the Mach-E using a Tesla Tap adapter. I have to take the adapter on and off since I share the Wall Connector with my Model 3.
So far no issues in nearly 2 years of sharing. Just make sure you have...
Yes, the 60 amp would work fine since the car will only request 48 amps from the EVSE.
You must of got one of the first generation Tesla Wall Connectors since they have only have 60 amp max on the second and now third generation ones.
