    random chitchat

    If you only use Tor for dicey things, no wonder they would want to watch you. You stick out like a sore thumb. But the actual fact is that most Tor traffic is relatively innocuous. It is clear that people here are not familiar with Tor. While it is not possible to prove a negative, I can...

    random chitchat

    I see. It is very difficult for me to get in to this site to learn the basic construction of the modules, because god damned Cloudflare is constantly in the way, and I run Tor exclusively. I am about fed up. http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=eab3798 And no, the answer is not to not use...

    Pics/Info: Inside the battery pack

    There is a good reason why the pins on J1 are so large. Tne cell stacks have to get charge from somewhere, and I'll bet that is it, although how it gets current to the cell stacks is a mystery. I wish I had the numbers from the TSOP16 so I could get an idea exactly what it does. And I wish I...

    Pics/Info: Inside the battery pack

    So it does seem to be labelled J1 and we have to assume it is a connector. But for what? Maybe for incoming current for the module as all are heavy pins, but what specifically, and is so much current shunted out those tiny pins on J3 to the cell stacks? How can that be? The BMS IC is not...

    Pics/Info: Inside the battery pack

    Hello wk, I've been following your various battery adventures with gratitude. I'm only up to page 16 here so stop me if you already know this, but some observations on your BMS PCB. On your front picture there's a quad-pack IC, and the number on it is legible as 76PL536AQ1. TI is one of the...

    Ordering aftermarket body parts after an accident?

    lol, well apparently we're not allowed to edit our posts here, or I'd change it. Although I suspect I had that in the back of my mind... Edit: Oh, well, now with 7 posts it seems I can edit. But the title's already been changed.

    Ordering aftermarket body parts after an accident?

    However there have been significant changes to the front assembly with dual-motor cars, so this is one case I'm lucky I have single motor.

    Ordering aftermarket body parts after an accident?

    I've seen the frequent evolution of these cars. But the structural members are unlikely to differ to a degree that they'd show; I can make any adjustments needed. This does appear to be the solution. I've found a 2012 that's been flooded, a perfect donor car. It's whole electrical system is...

    Ordering aftermarket body parts after an accident?

    The local Tesla store actually has a 'skate' on display (undercar for a 'D') and I took alot of pictures. The front section and back section are mainly one die-cast aluminum piece, which is disturbing. The front bolts and glues to the body rails, and the back is welded. However the back is a...

    Ordering aftermarket body parts after an accident?

    Huh? Why in MA? Are they entirely web-based? There are three certified body shops in Seattle, and I've talked to one, as well as Tesla Parts. Tesla will not sell structural parts to an individual. Further, I have only liability insurance so there is no choice. And, I am not a typical...

    Ordering aftermarket body parts after an accident?

    Hi, I have a front-ender and a rear-ender. Need to buy structural parts and skins. Maybe this isn't the right forum, but does anyone know of aftermarket parts? Or a source for structural members? Also, I need a service manual as all the lights are out. Need to track down what may have...
