I drive to the nearest Supercharger to try testing out my (new to me) 2013 Tesla Model S!
Please click SHOW MORE!
After buying this car in non-running condition, we fixed it up. It now drives fine and charges at home on 120 or 240V AC.
Unfortunately, the first attempt at the Supercharger did NOT work!
I confirmed a number of things: my billing and account info, that the previous owner could supercharge, that I had a clean title and the car was NOT crashed or an insurance buy-out, etc. I even cleaned the charge-port until it sparkled!
In Service Mode, the error presented was "CHG_f012_hwFastChargeDriver"
I found next to nothing about that error itself. However, it did lead me to some web forum entries. On those, I found out that it's actually a circuit in the AC charger which controls the contactors that connect the charge port directly to the battery for Supercharging. In a number of confirmed instances, there were cars which would charge fine on AC power, but NOT at the Supercharger. Replacing the AC charger solved the issue.

OpenInverter.org also had some useful information on the Tesla Gen 1 charger: www.openinverter.org/wiki/Tes...
and the High Voltage Junction Box: www.openinverter.org/wiki/Tes...
I ordered a used AC charger off eBay, and I'm hoping that solves the Supercharging issue. The ability to use Tesla's Supercharging system was one of the main reasons I bought the car!
