Yokohama Advan Neova AD07

I need a set of summer tires, but it seems that the AD07 are out of stock, and the now recommended (by my SC) AD08 is not available in the right dimensions for the front wheels. I failed to find the Continental ExtremeContact Sports that seems favoured by many here. I have received an offer on...

I used the vmsparser to extract the messages and included them in the post that I referred to. The help I got is in the posts from people on this forum following in that thread. In addition I got a couple of pm's. I see that you already received some advice. The big question for me was wether or...

I suppose the blown fuses can be interpreted as a problem in the internal charger, but it is difficult to tell. When I had the insulation issue with mine (Roadster PEM failure), the first indication of a problem was that the car refused to charge (red light and complaints) despite that the...

I am sorry to hear about the troubles with your car. If you by inhibited mean inhibited the APS, you may in addition consider pulling the service plug to preserve ESS charge and removing the auxiliary battery fuse to avoid draining that also. I notice that the message that you attributed ID...

Post #1 doesn't render properly after message 413 on any of my devices or browsers. It looks like the html-code is corrupt.

I would expect a fraction of European cars to have TPMS, but I don't know how large fraction.

I think TPMS became mandatory in most of Europe only from late 2014. Hence you will find roadsters without this feature over here. Mine is an example.

Partly due to other more imminent matters with the car and partly due to the seemingly elaborate procedure of routing the antenna cable to the recommended antenna locations I have had the OVMS and its antenna lying on the floor of the footwell for quite a while. During this time I have not...

Sounds like very much the same phenomenon, just different timestamps. I suppose this is to be expected then. Since the spurious dates are bracketed by the dates before and after, the log entries are still useful information.

Yes, all in the sequence they came out of the parser. I just cut out from the line before to the line after. The codes 5X are all related to "No data fault" from some module and the code 1 is "Custom alert" according to Gruber's list . This is one example out five where the 2007-date appears...

The parser deals well with the rollover issue on my log-files, but I have noted that there are a handful of entries with date December 2, 2007 in the text output which must have another cause. Here is an example: 08/21/2020 13:13:05 | 1598008385 | ERR | error code 428 1 bytes 12/02/2007...

I have acquired a set of second-hand forged TR-2.5 rims of what I thought was the silver color. I now see that the rims do not have quite the same color and that this is quite visible in sharp daylight. Because of this color mismatch and some minor damages that I otherwise would like to...

I normally experience a "clunk" when driving slowly and changing from driving to regeneration or vice versa. I can't tell from your video if this is the same clunk as yours, but to add a data point, this is the feedback that i got from the SC after they conducted a test drive: "The clunking is...

From what I have been able to figure out, the bolts are M3.5-0.6 with dimensions as indicated in in this sketch: I don't know what the material is. I checked it against A2, but it looks different. Probably it is some plated steel.

I am now in the position to add some more detail: The three megapole boards are, as far as I can see, identical and each drives one phase, i.e. each board is like half an H-bridge (my apologies if am applying the wrong terminology, but the full three-phase setup doesn't look like an H). The 28...

Short update: The issue was the well known insulation failure. The car now works and has been functioning for about a month. Thanks for all the advice.

On my Android phone, I usually go to the car screen and touch the drawing of the car at the battery or at the PEM. Then a pop-up window with the choices "Wakeup" and "Cancel" appears. It is also possible to type the command wakeup in the messages interface. I just tried this and it also seems to...

Hello Noguchi, you have the same error message id:1900 as in this post 12v dead? Can't start car. . In that case a hard reset of the VMS solved the issue. I have no experience with these failures myself and can only guess to reasons behind. I suppose that if the VMS or essential programs...

This is a symptom that Tesla has problems sustaining roadster competence within their organization. We see it in my country too, with only one location servicing roadsters here in the southeastern part. Luckily for me, it is only a one hour drive away from my place. Six hours would be...

Thanks, I would never have done it without the descriptions in your excellent posts. Barring surprises on postage rates, I think I can send anywhere in Europe. After all it is significantly smaller than Northern America which your cable tours now.

I have made cables that cover two possibilities: One cable is a USB-to-RS232-with-5V power that connects to the PC. One of the others is then connected to the RS232 interface. The cable with the black box is used for connection via the VMS cable. The cable with the white plug can be used for...

That explains it. A pity your laws aren't all that EV-friendly yet. I would think Switzerland has a lot of renewable energy in the form of hydropower making electrified transport particularly advantageous.

Mine is declared as 40kW also. I am not so sure it is wrong, but I can't find the relevant documentation. It is a question of wether one considers the peak power over a short duration, the maximum continuous power or the maximum power over a specified time. I would have checked the definition of...

Perhaps we should have something showing the origin from this forum, or at least TMC?

Agreed, the initiative deserves a thread on its own. And then perhaps we should have an additional thread on typesetting?

You can check battery and charging voltage through the fuse holder using the bracket of the 400V controller as a reference (ground). With the fuse out, that will give you the open-circuit voltage of the battery on one pin and the voltage on the connection to the switchpack on the other pin. You...

The label on the battery of my 2.5S reads "ASY, ESS 2.0 -REMANUFACTURED". It was delivered by Tesla to the previous owner in the spring of 2019 after the original battery was bricked during storage. The version numbering of the batteries appears not to follow the version numbering of the cars...

Did you figure out what the reason was?

Thanks for the info. I suppose each megapole is a half bridge with 14 IGBTs in parallel in each branch. Status now is that I have shut down the car and also checked the fuses. Both gargantuan fuses on the inlet of the PEM are fine. Tesla wants the car for diagnosis. I intend to indulge them...

Here you can see the plug in the ESS photographed from the left rear wheel arch after the arch liner has been removed (5 bolts). @jason.tv is right that you should inhibit the APS first. At least that is what I have been told. The APS is not the 12-V battery. It is a separate 12-V supply from...

Mine is a 2.5 Sport with TPN 0600276800 rev. AE; SAP 6005203

Thanks for the information and the warning (which I will heed). I will pull the service disconnect tomorrow, and do the simple fuse checks that @slcasner and @DanielFriederich suggested above. I notified Tesla and am awaiting response from them. Unless they come up with a better alternative the...

I may have joined the club. Yesterday I plugged my roadster (2.5S) to the TS-70 after a short trip in town and left it for a few hours. Then I noticed that all lights were out on the charger and that the circuit breaker had cut the power. I unplugged and checked the VDS to find the message...

Agreed. I also put a script named vmsparser with the content --- #!/bin/bash wine ~/bin/VMSParser.exe $@ -- in my bin directory and made sure the directory is in my path. Then it is sufficient to write , e.g., vmsparser 202006232203.tar in the directory where the log is.

I think it is neither. You should probably look for a "3" in digit 8 for a sport. See Decoding Tesla Roadster VINs

Is it possible to connect a terminal and access the OS through a command shell?

I use email to the only service centre in my part of the country that can handle the Roadster. That works well. The alternative is to meet up in person, but it is an hour's drive away and rarely convenient. They don't have a phone number for customer requests and the app doesn't work for the...

Was it hard to get to? I guess we are talking dash removal and more?

Thanks. This is very useful. I might have enough parts to pull this off with the spare one too.

Interesting. Do you know how to access the firmware somehow? Anything from just extracting some piece of information to logging in or downloading/uploading from the switchbox would be useful.

Yes, probably. However, the 12-V charging which I think also is controlled by the switchpack doesn't work (4.8 V at the fuse) and I do have a spare switchpack from a salvaged car. Therefore, if and when I have learned more about how the car works, verified somehow that the salvaged part is in...

Update: The service center was not able to diagnose the error on the first try. They need further diagnosis involving dash removal which we for various reasons agreed not to proceed with now. Their hypotheses for the source of the error were a speaker, the switch pack or the instrument cluster...

You most likely need to update the firmware of the Garmin gps module in you car: Caution - Annual Service - Car power-down - GPS issue

I experimented on the bench first, but I did use it in the car. Since the nail goes under the bail and *into* the lever of the latch there is a lot of tolerance with respect to it sliding. Hence, I could do it all with one hand: one finger on the nail (not the thumb as in the picture), the...

I was a bit surprised to find this: Performance Brake Rotors | Medlock & Sons

Yes, I put it on pin 1. It isn't standard, but I think there is some precedence. The FTDI cable that I bought ended in wires with TTL-serial (RD,TD,RTS#,CTS#), GND and 5V/450mA power. Except for tapping a little bit of power to a level-shifter in the box, I routed the power directly to the pin...

I successfully made a cable and updated my GPS yesterday based on the information in this thread, in particular the postings of @slcasner. I split my cable in two parts: a USB-to-RS232-with-power cable and a roadster-specific cable: If anyone wants to borrow it, that is possible. Those nearby...

I expect that the sound should come through the loudspeakers and since also my handsfree microphone is not up to its task, I will have the SC look at the audio system when the car is in for its annual service in a couple of weeks. Hopefully they can both explain and fix it. Mine is a 2012 sport 2.5

I noticed that the carrier frequency for communication with the tyre-pressure sensors is 315 MHz which according to wikipedia is common outside Europe. Despite 434 MHz being more common in Europe according to the same source, I would expect that Tesla used the same system with the same 315 MHz...
