    Have people noted an increase in false alarms? Since 3 updates ago, which was about 10 days ago, my 2018 model X is slamming the brakes on the freeway. a couple times, I think there was a concrete overpass with afternoon sun behind it. After dark, I haven't figured out what it is reacting...

    Trying to fix a gen 1 mobile charger

    Got the EVSE working again! quite the struggle removing the relay due to the large heat sinks on the board sucking up the heat. Couldn’t get the solder to melt. Had to visit one of my electronics gurus. Had to cut off the relay’s legs and then cut down to the feet. From there we could work...

    Whats the largest Power Inverter you can use in a Tesla?

    I took lots of pix but didn’t want to take too much space. The frunk removal is easy but tedious. I added a filter into the empty holder. Cut a hole in the frunk bucket and made a slit in the carpet liner. Fun project.

    Whats the largest Power Inverter you can use in a Tesla?

    I installed a 1100 watt inverter in the frunk. 150 amp fuse. Hooked to lead acid battery posts. Hoping to gently run my inductive cook top for camping. Maybe AC on low in my camper pod in the summer.

    Trailer Mode Won't Turn Off

    Tesla tech says that it looks like a bad control unit in the back. before he can "condemn" this module, he has to take the bumper off and check the wiring harness. He's supposed to return this afternoon, so more info to come.
