@scotty2541 The motor output block was designed with the jack nuts to remain glued in their respective hexagon-shaped channels. Given sufficient external force, as you noted on the right jack nut you pushed in, will break the adhesive bonds between the jack nut and plastic channel. In the...

I can't find anything on alerts #1022 or #1048. I've been looking for the past few days. However, the other alerts that occurred along with the #1022/#1048 alerts could be telling of what's going on or at least give clues of where to look. 104 TCM: Lost DMC comms --> Ignore this alert. It gets...

I had to run the software as administrator so that the update software could get the administrative privileges it required. If anyone has an issue updating their Garmin firmware, then it's something to try.

Based on the description and log file from @KeithBoxer , the problem may be a voltage supply problem in the PEM. I have seen this symptom before, and it had to do with the PEM not properly converting/regulating the 12V from the APS. But, I don't know for sure. Also as @slcasner says, the GPS...

It sounds like the Tesla service center would have been responsible for the bricking of the battery. What, if any, responsibility are they taking for the battery bricking while under their care? I believe these extension boards they are complete as is. You will need to get a power supply to...

Ahem.. x209. x423 is the Controller in accounting, and likely won't be able to answer any of your questions.

"When the car left Tesla, they held on to the electric motor and all other drive train parts. It still lacks an engine to this day." "The drive-train removal process looks like a rush job. They just cut the wiring and took it out of the car. No clean removal, just a pair of scissors and the...

Actually, that may explain why @csummers' Roadster clock suddenly stopped working while I was working on it back in April.. I will take a look into whether the cables could be built here for connecting to and upgrading the Garmin modules.

I was going to say it was a programming glitch in the VMSparser tool. However, I took a look at the raw log data for the daily records on one of my log files and I see it too. Weird.. If you want to get an idea of the health, you should look for the delta between the minimum and maximum brick...

Someone called.. I've been in touch with @erericic and we are going to get the PCB repaired with the vacuum pump. We have a Roadster we can easily install the pump assembly into for testing.

I have a couple of 1.5 shifters from used Roadsters I can pull and send. I have enough parts from spare parts 1.5/2.X Roadsters that I don't usually need anything from Tesla. That also means I have a wealth of good electronics and PCBs to perform A/B tests with. The shifter in the center...

If your receptacle is showing burning like yours, you really should also replace/fix the connector too. The connector end in the PEM likely has a pin(s) pushed in. That recessed pin(s) will cause your newly installed receptacle to also burn up.

The difference seems to be the Sport upgrade.

I checked a 3.0 pack, and they are definitely LG cells (LG ICR18650E1T). The part number found on the sidewall of the cells is LGDBE1T1865.

The Mercedes Smart Fortwo battery uses Lithium ion pouch cells, not 2170 cylindrical cells like in the Model 3.
