I haven't seen any dbc files for the instrument bus, but in case you haven't already found it, this post links to the most complete description of the messages on that bus that I am aware of.

Yes there is more to wish for such as the source code for the firmware and more schematics (PEM and switch pack are high on my list). However, I am grateful for the stuff they already published.

I intended to try just now, but couldn't even find the white connectors. I have the shrouds off, but the connectors are nowhere to be seen! Any suggestions?

I don't know, but in essence I would think so regarding Tesla. Apart from choice of software versions and some tweaking of the distribution content it is hard to see the value for them in distributing something else. Others here may know.

No it is not the same as the GPS-corruption cable. You need to connect the PC to the can-bus no 4. The published Tesla documentation specifies that one should use a PCAN-USB adapter (Tesla part no 1016990-00-A) and a 4-way breakout cable for the diagnostic port (Tesla part no. 1013716-00-A)...

Yes, it is great that they did this. From what I can see, the new stuff now is software for updating firmware, the firmware itself, dbc files (battery and PEM) and a collection of diagnostic tools. They previously published a document on the battery at the same site. There are several...

A quick look suggests that the link "Diagnostic Software" is new compared to what we have observed before. It points to a github repository. I found dbc files for the PEM and ESS in one directory and diagnostic software in another. The latter appears also to contain all the firmware. Some of...

I am not sure I quite understand the problem, but perhaps this thread can give you some clue on what is involved: Chargeport Micro Switch problem

@phirephoto could you please take this to a shrink, a Leaf forum or somewhere else where it doesn't distract those of us who are actually interested in Tesla Roadsters?

I am not a "shocks person" either, so I can't say much about how they work. The standard shocks on the sport model have these external reservoir cylinders on the front. So regarding your second question, here you can see how these standard shocks are mounted:

No, that leaves some parts still powered. Pulling the plug disconnects the battery entirely.

In this circle BMS usually means battery management system, i.e. the electronics that monitors and controls the state of a battery pack. The boards in question here are actually referred to as BMBs, battery monitor boards or battery monitoring boards, and as far as I can tell mainly monitor...

PM sent

I got a new one at the Tesla service centre about two years ago.

Does anyone know why the pumps in 2.x cars have separate part numbers (2005512 and 2005514) in the parts catalog? The two pumps appear to be the same from what I read here.
