Tesla gen 3 charger IN1 pin

Post by RobCote »

Hi all,

According to this fantastic set of instructions for the gen 2 charger, IN1 needs 12V+.

Is that also true of the gen 3 charger?

Yes it needs the enable IN1 seeing 12V for things to work.

They run the firmware if I am not mistaken.

I asked the question and then set it up to test anyways but saw no change. At least now I know it needs to stay powered, so thank you. I'm not sure what's missing, but I'm out of ideas for the time being.

Then respond somewhere in an existing thread there is no change. I cannot sniff what you are up to.

It would sure be a lot easier if you could! :D

Everyone has their own ideas for proper posting etiquette. I was trying to be concise here, in case anyone else is trying to figure out the proper configuration for this particular version of control board.

However, it's just a small piece of an overall larger issue that I'm dealing with which is that I am an idiot and I don't know what I'm doing. I know just enough about this to be dangerous, but not helpful.

That said, what I am up to is trying to charge a 75kWh battery pack with a gen 3 charger.
