    Model S Parts for Sale

    Yes, black carpet. I'll look on Monday to try to find the trunk carpet and padding. All of that was in good shape. The collision was basically in the front end. The trunk didn't latch properly anymore because there was some damage to the top of the car too. I don't know if it hit a deer or what...

    Model S Parts for Sale

    The trunk light I should have in good shape. The center console I broke.

    Model S Parts for Sale

    Do you need just the steering wheel itself or also the parts on top of it (air bag, controls)?

    Model S Parts for Sale

    Sorry, I should have posted more details. 2015 Tesla, white body, beige/black interior, black carpet. I broke the center console being an idiot while removing it.

    Model S Parts for Sale

    I've got a salvaged Tesla Model S that I've used for parts I need for a conversion. I've taken the batteries, chargers, drivetrain, brake booster. But, the body is not totally smashed - some doors are OK, most all the door glass, the CID, IC, all ECUs, anti-lock brake distribution system...

    In-development: Inexpensive Custom BMS for Tesla Battery Modules

    Fast forward a year and that's no longer true: GitHub - collin80/TeslaBMS It works with any number of modules from 1 to 62 with one master board.

    The Use by Other EVs of Tesla Supercharges?

    There's virtually no chance Tesla is ever going to validate the SC connection with a VIN number - they aren't that stupid. The VIN number on a Tesla is nearly the least unique thing ever. Out of 17 digits there are what, like 5-6 unique digits at the end that are a manufacturing serial number...

    Let the hacking begin... (Model S parts on the bench)

    Yeah, it seems to have come back. We might have been a bit hasty in predicting its demise.

    Yes, I didn't mean to imply that they were locking out body shops, just the rest of us. But, it still could just be a momentary glitch. Well, this is a dangerous thing to say. If anyone did do that I'd imagine they wouldn't broadcast any details or ever admit it.

    Let the hacking begin... (Model S parts on the bench)

    When I try to go to toolbox.teslamotors.com it tells me that the connection has been reset. There is no webpage served any longer. Also, previously it allowed me to use my login for Toolbox even after my paid access to the service site expired. Now it tells me the access token has expired and to...

    Well, not easily. The current format of the manuals makes it difficult to save them for later at any sort of speed. You have to grab them page by page. You might not be able to get all of the pages you're interested in in a single hour. Then again, maybe you've got the fastest fingers in the...

    Let the hacking begin... (Model S parts on the bench)

    Yes but there is a difference between being able to duplicate a known SHA256 hash output and it being tough to make duplicate values. A 256 bit hash *will* have collisions guaranteed so long as the data you are hashing is over 256 bits. It has to because there are more possibilities in the input...

    Let the hacking begin... (Model S parts on the bench)

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure that I mentioned the CANTact / CANard stuff before. Eric Evenchick got a very large amount of publicity for that stuff but really I'm not aware of too much coming of it. I don't know of any really good open source tools that are written for it. However, it does support...

    Not a typo. At least in older firmwares for US cars this frame has three bytes. It is possible that they changed it in later firmwares or for a different market or something.

    Let the hacking begin... (Model S parts on the bench)

    Yes, it seems to be a 5 minute heartbeat message that is sent any time the car's computer systems are operating. I've seen it on driving captures (but only captures that are minutes long, otherwise you're likely to never see it). I can't really be sure as to *why* it sends its own VIN number...
