    2014 P85D Error Thoughts? (Part 2)

    Folks should also know that the few repairs we have provided to date have ranged from $4,995-$7,495 - parts, labor, shipping and taxes included - depending on the size of the pack. Some owners of course choose to drive their cars home, others choose the convenience of having it shipped back...

    2013 MS 60 Battery Failure, have 85 pack: How to swap?

    this pack has been sitting a VERY long time, so needn't be a weak short u029 bleed out. However barring some rapid turnaround and some serious, serious balance charging - possibly weeks or months worth - we suspect it's in, or soon will, be in the u018 territory. @glhs272, we definitely want...

    Take out HV batt pack / cut out bad cell? (S P85+)

    important clarification. we’ve said module matching can work, but it’s not especially sustainable. 18-24 months is the max we’ve seen it last, and you’ve absolutely got to nail the module match. the far more durable approach is to reconfigure the pack into a 70/350 or 75/350 it’s one thing to...

    also, it will not report on whether any alerts have been triggered and reset

    Toolbox accesses Tesla’s server-side logs for any historical data.

    While a device may still be present - hopefully not, if it's continuously resetting an alert - it's probably not likely to be if there's some kind of scam afoot. And if it's not, what then? Still doesn't mean that an alert hasn't been reset previously. The real key is the ability to view the...

    absolutely. and better yet get a PPI done by a qualified service tech. 👍

    yes. we’ve come across these devices several times now… this one came from a car that left the owner stranded in the middle of nowhere West Texas. no buttons for user intervention, so when left plugged in, the device will continue to auto-reset the u029, based on some undisclosed criteria. 😮...

    There was a lot going on during that period - Brick 6 failures on the BMBs, weak short issues starting to emerge (beyond simply pack imbalances), sudden rash of fires, etc. whether it’s THE factor behind the reduced supercharging rates, unclear. but surely reduced supercharging rates would...

    we obviously can't speak to any of that - we're simply showing the diagnostics and how this is all available in Toolbox 3. Beyond even the weak short alerts being thrown by the BMS -- 33 in total! 😮, the real tell for any prospective buyer is the charge limiting behavior in the Max Voltage...

    So... We recently had a very interesting situation arise with an out of balance pack that came in with a BMS_u018 imbalance alert and a voltage delta of 120 mV. Pretty standard stuff and we go to work. Problem was that when we ran the full diagnostics, the CAC was pretty much even across the...

    2013 MS 60 Battery Failure, have 85 pack: How to swap?

    unfortunately, a u029 won’t run indefinitely. it may run for some time - weeks/months - but the reason the alert has been trigger is that the pack is self-discharging. either rapidly in the case of one rogue cell, or more slowly in the case of a collection of several aging and defective cells...

    Peak Supercharging Rate for Current Model X?

    we intentionally avoid any supercharging mods. full stop. for exactly the same reason(s) cited by @wk057 - the risk-reward/ROI just isn’t there. and, we understand if your a road warrior and power user. power users buy power tools. 😉
