FYI, I work with embedded Linux systems testing them and looking for failures. My expertise of 20 years is with Unix embedded systems. At my...
Linux will do an FSCK check of the filesystem and automatically fix things if needed. Only bad thing of pulling the plug on an OS is that you...
From what I know about the battery cooling threshold, those are the same for the 1.5 / 2.x's. However what is different is the PEM cooling...
If you can see pressure readings in the VDS then it appears the TPMS sensors are functioning. I believe you can take the Roadster to any tire...
12 miles is low, I'd expect it to have kicked in a charge around 20 at the lower limit. If you don't live an a climate where its extremely hot or...
The rat took it up there. It has chew holes in it plus it chewed on my CD case. My friend said these varmints like to sit in places that are...
So today I checked the fuse block by the passenger side that's inside the cabin, all fuses appear to be good. In doing this I found one of my...
Agreed, the 1.5 TPMS thread(s) and these solutions were from my hunt to find an affordable alternative to the $400-$500 Tesla priced one which we...
I didn't have any rattles or creaks to start with but I did have a very hard and harsh ride whenever I hit bumps or uneven surfaces. Switching...
I did pull the lower PCB out, had to do that to tighten down the loose HV+ line and also to inspect that R4 solder point. The solder point on the...
Buttoned everything back up after tightening down the loose lug, still get the same errors. Note that if you don't put on that external ground...
In taking out that PCB board above I found the far right HV+ line or lug (gold) is loose! Possibly vibrations took its toll on it, backing it off...
So after talking to my friend, that resistor / solder point from the 400V control box lower PCB (red circle location) it appears a little bit...
Here's some of the pics of the opened HVAC 400V controller (top and bottom PCB), the resistor that has the odd solder pattern as well as pics...
Will do when I get the time for the pics. So the (V_ess too low during precharge, T2) is an error code indicating that there is too much...
To be fair, the poster M808 does have a LinkedIn profile associated to his profile: (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikemoore01) I don't see...
Remember that the battery pack cooling has priority over you when it gets hot out. When you hear the AC cycle or know its on but its not getting...
Took the 400V controller out. Unbolted the top and started to do some of my own tests. There are two PCBs. One housed on the top where the non...
I haven't had the chance to remove the 400V controller. However I was able to get that fiberglass rear body filler out above the battery pack. I...
Looks like I'm going to pull out the 400v controller and have my hardware engineer begin doing some tests with it and see if we can identify an...
Mark, where the VDS error messages different and/or any additional messages displayed when it blew out your ESS fuse?
Thanks everyone for the input! I honestly do keep water away clear of that silver 400V controller in the front and don't recall getting that box...
So my Roadster ended up cutting out this week. Roadster has been sitting for months at 60% SOC. Made it into work fine which was 35 miles....
Curious, did you ever figure out the root issue?
Don't get your hopes up, the Xenon ones also are prone to peeling. Put covering over it, cheap insurance.
Only thing I worry about is clarity through the glass with "something" over it. Glass is the purest thing to see through without any distortion,...
If you shut power down from the PEM and well informed you can do the change yourself. Don't do it live, ever. As for carrying spare fuses, I...
Only way to find the authentic answer to your question is to call the Tesla Service Center yourself and ask as well as to report back so others...
^ Exactly ^ Its insane and sad how shops can charge their incompetence to the customer's wallet when the customer was the one who suggested the...
What fuse costs $400? Must be gold plated..... :)
Flashing lights with audible bell is signal to you that the alarm has been just activated, the honk of the horn when the fbb is pressed a second...
nope
You have to find them used, Eric is no longer an active member on the site unfortunately. There were only a few of the full soft top conversion...
Great job Daniel! Was a fun and interesting journey and glad it ended well. Also nice seeing the honesty from the Tesla Service Center and to...
They're using a typical ISO harness on the 1.5 which VW uses, most likely the same with the 2.x's. Nakamichi CD400 Head Unit swap for the...
Annual service is something that can be performed in a couple of hours, especially with the 1.5 and having all the proper equipment and steps...
I think you guys are missing it, you need the firmware to drive the updated 2.x fans/blowers. Its one motor with two fans/blowers. They're...
I believe Nick has a 1.5, however the motors should be the same. Possibly they're driving them a bit differently. Would be interesting to see...
Note that these small locks are not security devices by any means, key or no key! Never trust any lock and know that *all* locks can be opened....
All the J1772 handles I've used have a hole below the release button, this is where you place the padlock on after its connected. [IMG] I'll try...
Also read up on fixing it, there's an instructibles article that shows one being fixed by replacing the aluminum foil dots to re-enable worn...
While we're at it. I carry two pad locks, reason being is that one time I had someone disconnect the J1772 adapter while the car was still...
You don't need to disconnect the 12v battery just to remove the seats. Just know that the seats are a puzzle taking out, hand brake is attached...
If you're not familiar with electronics and how to source components, take it to a quality electronics shop or have a computer hardware engineer...
I use a small combination lock, the size of a luggage lock. I prefer a combo lock system for that its one less key to loose or leave behind...
I don't have a 12v battery since I have a 1.5 Roadster and yes you will be breaking the tabs.
If you have a 1.5, yes its an issue due to no tire learning. Why not order the correct size via the Tire Rack and have them shipped to your...
No duplicate colors? Looks like you all had a blast and nice seeing Doug made it out to this one.
I say keep going down the brave part. I'm sure you can find an answer and solution to all of this. We're all rooting for you as long as you have...
Thanks for the thread, very informative. And yes that jump is interesting in the 3.0 pack. Think it may be with the pack balancing? You haven't...
