Heads up to RavCharge users: I'll be taking the server down for a few hours (hopefully no more than that) to hook up to a new ISP today. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Haha, still here, still keeping RavCharge going for the die hards, and still have the Rav but my wife mostly drives it now. Oh and swapped the Leaf for a 2018 model 3 :D My platinum warranty expires on 4/1 so I’m trying to sneak it in to see if there are any big problems to fix. Thought Carson...

Any update on this? I just took mine to Carson and they’re dragging their heels, saying they need to wait for Tesla even for a simple diagnosis. Anyone find a better socal dealer for service or otherwise have tips?

Not sure why it went down, but I rebooted the server and it's back up and running now. As always, thanks for letting me know!

Yup, it's sitting at Carson now waiting for the new heater. They quoted me $260 extra to work around the JDeMO.

So my heater's broke and I brought it in to Cerritos Toyota. They said they can't do the repair because I have a JDeMo installed. Can anyone point me to a dealer in the area that knows how to work around a JDeMo, or do I have to have Tony's guys remove it first? Also, they quoted me $870 for...

Just chiming in to say that mine does the same thing. If I turn the fan down a bit that'll usually resolve it.

Ok, it's back up and running, but Amazon's changes mean that it has a new IP address. This means that while we wait for the name servers to update, going to ravcharge.com will not work. In the interim, you can access RavCharge here: https://35.161.248.5 The server is running in the background...

FYI - RavCharge is down for AWS maintenance today - possibly through tomorrow. Double-check to ensure that your car charges tonight. Thanks for your patience while Amazon does their thing.

Certainly looks like the right charger to me, but maybe Tony or someone else who's dug deep under the hood can speak to whether the Tesla part number matches - maybe you could even pay Tony to test it out on his Rav since it's in his neck of the woods. Obviously the guys at the junkyard would...

One from a wrecked S like I linked to (on ebay) should be the same, as long as it's a first generation one. I'm not sure if the charger listed on Tesla's website is the same as it could be configured to only work in dual charger mode or something like that. After more googling I found these guys...

FYI Tesla sells what I assume is the same charger on their website for $2000, including installation. Obviously that installation is on a Model S, not a Rav4-EV, but I am curious what would happen if you just stopped by a Tesla support center and asked them about it. Maybe tweet Elon too. After...

Did you use the car at all after the full normal charge, and were you charging on a timer? I ask because once a charge completes the car sets an internal "charge completed" flag, which isn't reset until you drive. If you just enable extended charge and then try to charge again after the "charge...

One thing to check might be your breaker (and make sure nothing else is loose or damaged upstream of the EVSE). I recently heard of a guy who replaced his Bosch EVSE because he thought it had failed, but the new EVSE didn't work either. It turned out that the breaker failed in such a way that it...

Still a little confused... That sounds like a GFI outlet. Are you talking the outlet itself, or something you inserted between the outlet and the EVSE? Well that certainly would point to something going on with your situation at home. As miimura pointed out in another thread, make sure there's...

The Model S is of course an amazing car, but used or not I don't see how I could justify that price tag. If I had to buy an EV right now I'd probably go for the Bolt - same or better range as a base Model S for less than half the price. Next best option would be to hold on to the Rav until the...

What's the CCID? With errors like these the first thing I would do is check your power supply. The 120V outlets you're using could be old and worn, have a bad ground, or other problems with your wiring could cause voltage drop. If you can, measure the voltage while charging (or have an...

If your charge started then I'd say the timer did its job - stopping in the middle of a charge is another type of issue. There's nothing about the timer that could make a charge error out in the middle; however if there's something that causes the charge to stop (like a power outage or low...

If your EVSE had an error light it seems pretty clear that was the problem. My openEVSE gets "stuck" a couple times a year and requires a power cycle or I'll miss a charge. Just happened last Thursday actually (to my Leaf). Hopefully the power cycle fixes it in your case and there's not an...

The annoying part is the GOM itself. Just don't look at it! Reset your efficiency meter (miles per kWh) at the start of a long drive and pay attention to that instead of the GOM. All you need to know is that regardless of what the GOM says, a full extended charge gets you a little more than 40...
