Hi. What exactly is the 19.2kW AC and where do I find it on the build sheet? I'm looking at one from the dealer and there is the 400amp/150kwh thing on board..is that it? this is for a 2021 T4S..tia

I believe the 19.2 kW AC charging has been removed as an option in NA because of the plug-n-charge “bug” with the 19.2 kW hardware. If it’s not listed in eMobility then don’t worry about it. It is a separate option from the 150 kW/400V option.

Thanks! I was confusing myself with that :)

Tesla to allow supercharger to other EVs
 

Good news

you’ll need the 400V/150 kW charging option otherwise you’ll be limited to 50 kW - and I also am dubious this will happen in North America - need an adapter or another type of cable - and the cables are not long enough to reach charge port locations on most non-Tesla’s - there is a LOT of physical obsticles to this functioning in North America - they can be overcome - but it will take time and physical changes to the stalls and new equipment (extra cords or adapters).

I read this as Tesla promising to open up the 5 stations being expanded (maybe even just the portions actually expanded with the public funds?) . Seems like a big leap to suggest this will apply to all of Norway, let alone beyond.

"Tesla applied for benefits to expand 5 fast-charging stations. Tesla's charging stations today are just available for Tesla cars. That type of infrastructure is then only open for use by one group and not for the general public otherwise. In the application, Tesla describes the relevant charging stations will nevertheless be publicly available from the third quarter of 2022. "

don't hold your breath waiting on this, it is almost not going to happen in the US.

I'm sorry, but I find this incredibly hard to believe.

Your My Porsche account needs to be activated in your car.

I believe the dealers are clueless and will remain so - we are in a transition period and like all things digital inefficiencies in the system will come to light and be eliminated - the dealership network as we know it sucks and it needs to change - the fact that they are incapable of providing even the most rudimentary EV support simply disgusts me - but no longer surprises me. It’s a new world and some are going to get left behind and others are going to pick up the new torch and blaze forward

Tesla has it’s pro’s and con’s -o but for the most part their service/dealer network doesn’t fall down on their understanding of EV’s

I agree, I'm not surprised the dealer doesn't. Quite literally I have never shopped for a car where I didn't know more about the car than the salesperson. However, Porsche Corporate has to know, and I would think EA.

direct sales is inevitable - just a matter of time - dealers will become service & delivery hubs and lose the sales role due to progress and the fact that they are pointless.

No, it should work fine.

You do have to turn on plug-and-charge (it's hidden under one of those ... menus on the PCM, and off by default.)

My first charging experience was confusing. I tried to use the EA app, then found out about "Charging NA" and used that. Later I found out about the plug-and-charge checkbox, enabled it, and from there it has been smooth. Roll up and plug in, simple as that.

your experience highlights a major fail on your salesman and dealership. all those things should have been explained to you on delivery.

Looks to be true to include the US also. Glad to hear..hope it is better as my Taycan CT 4 arrives early next year! :)
