    Bought a non-running Tesla Model S at auction - Have questions

    I think you misunderstood me. I'm not going to swap this 85 battery pack into the p85. I am thinking of rebuilding the running body damaged one using the parts car. Basically if I take this one, I will need to replace the front end and paint it to match, something I have done numerous times...

    Bought a non-running Tesla Model S at auction - Have questions

    So I just found a candidate to rebuild, a 2013 MS 85 with very low miles (30k) with a minor front end accident and has a damaged front radiator that's leaking coolant. It runs and drives fine and currently has over 50% charge on it but has a bms_u019 error with a low coolant error. I wasn't...

    Thanks again for the heads up on that! So would the car be able to use 100kwh battery when it came factory as an 85kwh that I've read is software limited?

    Bought a non-running Tesla Model S at auction - Have questions

    Hey Brain, appreciate the detail explanation to my questions. As I said initially this vehicle was a parts vehicle for a body damage tesla that I wasn't able to secure. I have been rebuilding ice vehicles for a while and body repair is my thing but I'm new to tesla and it's hv components if...

    Bought a non-running Tesla Model S at auction - Have questions

    so can I just replace the module containing the bad bmb with a known good module or does it have to be program or balanced after replacing and how do I find the location of the module that has the fail bmb? also, question about the mcu, can I just replace it with an mcu from ebay, would it boot...

    Bought a non-running Tesla Model S at auction - Have questions

    So I did a check on 2nd row of fuses and as suggested the 50 amp fuse #F83 is blown. I also received the adapter for the tesla plug to obd2 connection and plug it in and started her up and started getting a bunch of signals for battery and whatnot but I was not able to pull any error logs. I...

    so I checked the fuses in the fuse box on top of the battery and all the fuse link seems to be working fine. they all have continuity.. unless there's something else I'm missing or I'm doing something wrong?

    Just as expected, I hook up the scanner to the obd2 port under the steering wheel and it just recognizes the vehicle but that's it. I couldn't connect to read anything from it. So I ordered the adapter and it's coming in tomorrow. I also downloaded and paid for the app. Hopefully this will...

    Bought a non-running Tesla Model S at auction - Have questions

    J. Harris, thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I will definitely get that adapter and see what I can find out. I did a search for "scan my tesla" and found "scan my t3sla" I'm assuming that's what you're referring to? I'm guessing that I would be able to use scan my tesla to see...

    Bought a non-running Tesla Model S at auction - Have questions

    Hey Brian, thanks for the advice and thanks for correcting my thread title. I'll try to hook up a scanner to see if I can get anything but from reading other post, it seems most users don't get anything from that port. I looked under the car when I was troubleshooting this and I see what seems...

    Bought a non-running Tesla Model S at auction - Have questions

    Hello, I'm new to Tesla motor club. Forgive me for getting to the point and for writing this long essay. My name is Mike and I've always wanted a Tesla but can't afford to buy a used one so I decided to look at public auctions for one. Long story I had a plan to buy 2 used Tesla Model S from...
