    "Insufficient Grid Power" error at beginning of charging

    I wanted to follow up on this topic as there appears to be more clarity as to what the problem is/was. After checking the AC voltage at our house, it appears that we have anywhere between 260-270 volts AC, rather than the 220-240 volts it should be. As a result, the "charger" on the wall...

    "Insufficient Grid Power" error at beginning of charging

    You bring up a good point. They could be using the term "Insufficient" as most voltage problems likely rest in people having less than advertised voltage. It being out of spec may be the culprit. I will continue to give it more time and as you said, if the level 2 charger at the office...

    "Insufficient Grid Power" error at beginning of charging

    Thanks for the suggestion. I went and measured it today after plugging it in again with the same error and red flashing light. The voltmeter reads 260 volts. So that's on the high side as it should be at 240 max, right? Nevertheless, even if it were on the high side, one wouldn't expect the...

    Body panel repair - Normal autobody techniques or something unique?

    Well, I recently scraped the driver's door on a concrete post and would like to repair the damage if possible. My understanding is that these are composite or plastic panels, so it is unclear if metal auto body techniques will repair this? More specifically, is it possible to buff this out, or...
