Wow, this is EXACTLY what I wanted to know. So both front and rear wheels are the R19 Slipstreams from the Model S? You use a 6mm spacer on all 4 or just the rear? Considering the wheels are supposed to be wider at the back than the front, wouldnt you need wider spacers for the rear? How do...

Model X weights 250KG more than a Model S. I can't possibly imagine that the extra 62.KG loading per wheel makes any actual difference. After all, you load up the car with passengers and cargo and you can easily add ~500KG of weight. Maybe it has something to do with towing?

Hello all. I've got a 2019 Model X Performance, and I keep having problems with my stock 20" Slipstream wheels. 1.) They keep getting warped, I suspect due to the poor roads (potholes and the like) 2.) They're easy to curb 3.) The tires are noisy. etc. etc. I was thinking to go down to 19"...

Nope. Even if you could download it, they require logins to function properly. Unless you know how to crack it so it functions without logging into Tesla's servers that is.

Hello all, Looking for some firmware for an original roadster. Version cd4.6.3. Hoping someone here might have it.

In MCU1, accessing the gateway was as simple as getting into factory mode. Once you're in factory mode, diagnostic port opened and BAM, you're in. Can reach the GW. Pretty sure the new RJ45 port is where you need to tap into, but it remains closed. But getting into factory mode is as far as...

Are these tricks a secret? I know MCU1 tricks are not exactly well known, but those I know. Is it similar?

@kdday, Excellent write up! I'm fairly familiar with MCU1, but I've indeed found it difficult to get anything done on MCU2. Is root required to update the GW? Since you rooted your car using some SW vulnerability, which version of the OS were you running? I need to perform some GW config...

Reading the spansion doesn't count as a related topic? :D

Hmm... I'll give it a go but if it doesn't work I'm going to be back here to you know about it! I have read it. Perhaps you underestimate my ignorance in this area! Do not underestimate the ignorance of people. Most people don't know jack *sugar*. I don't need the keys. The keys are for another...

I have the orientation correct. I have working eMMCs from which I can reference Contacts with the pads seem fine. I have not re balled, but it was not required on any of the working chips. Are you suggesting that without reballing, the contacts may not actually be good? I'm not familiar with...

I have read your articles multiple times, trying to find some inspiration. Admittedly I didn't read every single article because not all seem applicable to what I'm trying to achieve. I assume you are referring to this article. If so, I have already tried to use DDRescue, in addition to other...

Where on the board? Please don't say the eMMC because that's already been removed. And I've taken it to a few mobile phone repair shops, and none have been able to read it or pull any data off it (yet). Since I don't want to spent thousands on data recover for a car that is salvaged and...

That's not really an option. There are dozens of versions, and unsoldering and resoldering the eMMC to the board every single time it fails is hardly an option. I know the car the board was pulled from was from a salvage car that crashed in August 2019, so I suppose it narrows down the options...

You can definitely move the CID from 1 MCU to another. I did just that in order to repair a broken MCU quickly. Apparently there is the version data stored in the GW and IC, but I didnt know it was important and didnt save that info before swapping tegraboarda and performing a software update...
