As noted in a reply to your duplicate posts in other threads and in your ticket with us, we can do contactor replacements without a problem... HOWEVER... Without first diagnosing the issue ourselves, we will not guarantee that replacing the contactors will fix your issue. The error in...

Probably wouldn't post a phone number on a public forum... should probably edit that. Pretty sure you have a ticket in with us and we were trying to gather more information, since most likely replacing the contactors is not the actual issue based on what's been described. (We're not the 3rd...

https://insideevs.com/news/541361/gruber-fire-destroys-tesla-roadsters/ I'll just leave this here.

It usually only takes one full day of supercharging powered driving (several cycles worth of charges back to back) to really imbalance a pack with a mismatched module. Regular daily use will also slowly grow the mismatch imbalance to uncorrectable levels. This is because the BMS's ability to...

@MP3Mike linked above to some posts I already made detailing issues with module replacements and why the car was never designed for this (thanks!). The modular design wasn't for repairs, it was for ease of manufacturing using the processes available at the time. The modular design made it so...

They didn't really address all of the known issues until maybe 2018. Even then, there's some things impossible to address. So while I suspect the failure rates of the packs will decline with the newer versions, it's probably plateaued, barring any future design screw ups. The 3/Y packs are...

If a module was actually replaced, then the pack is on life support and will need a full replacement at some point, likely within a year of normal use. For the same issues you described (only one bad module) we'd do a full replacement pack at about $4500 (plus transport costs). A full...

The Model S was never designed to be a cheap or easy repair, especially the battery pack. In fact, let's look at some history. When Tesla designed the S battery pack, it was designed to be 100% non-serviceable. If any component within had an issue, it would need to be replaced entirely. How...

The reman part number isn't super useful, because the internals could be basically anything on a reman unfortunately. Without hooking up to the pack to examine it, no way to really know. We're doing battery replacements pretty regularly over at 057 Tech. Even with freight costs it's usually...

No 85 does 240 miles at 90%. Brand new they're like 265 at 100%. A reman wont be close.

One car sale pending. Two remain. Which will you choose?! :)

It's a weird situation from what I can tell. My understanding of the situation on Tesla's side is this: The S/X module production lines were doing double duty making S/X 100-type modules as well as Powerwall/Powerpack modules, and now they're fully Powerwall/Powerpack... however, they can still...

Already have a handful of upgrades scheduled thanks to the upgrade price estimate site! Funny enough, we actually ended up with a reasonably good condition v2 90 pack that I was going to post for sale here... then today someone put in an order for a normal priced 70->90 upgrade. I spotted that...

There haven't been any changes to BMS firmware on MCU1 cars for quite a while, unless I missed something.

Thanks! Hopefully word spreads a bit more about it. Also hoping to get some customer reviews/testimonials together soon, as we've already done several repairs and have a few more in process. At the moment, my main focus for this product is to get through the BMD production growing pains, while...

I did put a note on my old site that you're probably looking for 057 Tech ;) 4 replacements on an X sounds interesting. Would love more details on that. Supercharging degrades the batteries faster than the slower AC charging, but wouldn't cause them to fail more readily. The bulk of failures...

Gonna chime in here for some feedback (and perhaps bring this thread a little more on topic): So, we've been tinkering with a physical repair that corrects the underlying causes of the issues noted in my writeup last year: Explaining Changes post-firmware 2019.16 Regarding Range Loss | wk057's...

Can upgrade the onboard chargers of most non-Plaid S/X vehicles to 72 or 80A, depending on the vehicle. There's some caveats to it, such as the 72A onboard chargers predate any CCS support.

Yeah, we got it worked out. The guy did stop about a half mile away after the shoulder opened up a little. He claimed he thought he only hit the barrier and the white SUV that he tried to avoid, and followed the SUV to a stop ahead. 🤷‍♂️ Dash cam saved the day on that for sure. I highly...

I can talk to the wrap guy and see what we can do. 😁 Mine nfortunately lost its life in the incident below a couple years ago.

I mean, if your wallet can take it I can make a RWD Tesla with a 100 kWh that has roughly 650 HP (pulled from the battery, so ~600 at the wheels). RIP tires. (Only had it pushing about 530 HP at the wheels when I did this ^)

A RWD 100 isn't a standard configuration, and we decided not to promote non-standard configs at the moment. While we can technically do it, there are a lot of caveats that would make it less appealing than just purchasing a new vehicle (no more firmware updates, for one).

Punch in your VIN on the new site for an upgrade quote: Upgrade Your Tesla | 057 Technology Keep in mind that this site assumes a working core battery pack, so the true cost will be a bit more if the car is dead (although not by much if coming from a 60 since these aren't worth much either way...

We thought about doing an auction for it, and I'm still considering that. To be fair it'd just have to be completely refundable, though. My main thing is I don't really like us holding on to someone's money without something actually being in the works for the order, which isn't really doable...

We were trying to think of a fair way to get people in line for less expensive ones when they come around, instead of posting on TMC and such each time... but can't really come up with a fair way to do it that makes sense. I don't want to be sitting around holding on to people's money...

Feedback so far is that 100 kWh batteries are too expensive. 😅 Tell me about it...

And here it is: https://upgrades.057tech.com/ There's still a few bugs to work out, but good enough for now.

Added a third car. Also added the option to purchase salvage title vehicles without a battery pack. More than one person requested this option, so... sure. Have at it. lol

Hoping to have it published sometime tonight.

Unfortunately the only thing that is kind of doable is to downgrade the entire vehicle to early 2019 firmware. Only really possible on MCU1, and even then you'll have to contend with some other issues related to being that far out of date. Given the rationale behind the throttling and other...

Thanks! Going to add a few more things to it later... like the second car has a single charger, but we can upgrade that. :)

Crawl under the car and check the front passenger side for a recessed panel with funky bolts. If it's not there then it's on top. Extending the line is fine as long as it doesn't get clogged.

Ok, I added the other one already.

Funny enough, it's an almost identical car to the first one, except in "Titanium" color, a few months newer, and a salvage title (so, a bit cheaper).

Right. The signature packs are just as susceptible to those issues... the chemistry is just better.

Kicking off a public soft launch of 057 Motors with a competitively priced pearl white dual motor 2015 Tesla Model S. You can configure the car to your liking on our website, place a deposit, and then we'll configure it to order. Once done, we'll work with you on delivery (pickup, shipping...

The original signature S batteries were actually the best on degradation-per-mile that I've seen out of every pack type to-date in my testing. Ever since then it's been a bit of a balancing act on performance/range vs degradation... with some worse than others (looking at you, 90 packs...)

We went back and forth on the brick6 issue a lot internally, and decided that if it's corrected by the stock firmware with no related errors and the vehicle is completely usable, then we don't consider this a failure or disqualify based on it. If you're getting errors related to it "Maximum...

Was discussing the 2012-2013 situation with a friend just now, and he actually noted that it "sounds weird" for me to suggest purchasing our service plan for a variant of vehicle that I'm confident has a high chance of failing within the term of the plan. So it's worth explaining that it does...

There were a LOT of revisions in 2014 and 2015. Some are better than others. I don't believe any of the post-2013 packs suffer from the same issues as the pre-2014 packs, however, so I'd expect them to have significantly fewer failures. It'll be hard to quantify with certainty until more are...

We do our best! :) Those errors suggest an issue with a HV component other than the battery pack. Specifically, a high voltage isolation fault outside of the battery pack. This could be as simple as the battery heater failing, or could be as serious as the drive unit failing. Normally this is...

On a side note, at this point I'm pretty convinced a huge percentage, if not every single one, of the 2012-2013 S battery packs out there are going to fail at some point within the next few years. Have gathered plenty of data on this. When they fail, the issue is not really correctable aside...

Tesla service, to-date, either doesn't notice or doesn't care about the BMD. The BMD dashboard will note usable kWh, among other things. I'll note for completeness that we're still working through chip shortage induced snags getting BMDs out to everyone quickly. We'll be updating our ToS...

Hoping to have a website section online for pricing various replacements/upgrades by VIN soon.

Tesla refurbished packs are different. They don't attempt to replace modules or butcher them by cutting cells fuses. They will refurbish 16 module packs to 14 module ones (for 60,70,75 customers), and the replacement 16 module pack you get is a pack that didn't have cell/module level issues to...

I won't get into the lack of viability of those "repairs"... beating a dead horse at this point. Heard enough horror stories (🔥)... People will either hear the warnings from myself and others, or not... not much else I can do there. I'll just note, again, that repairing or replacing individual...

I like the nosecone cars best, honestly... 🤷‍♂️

👋

Yep. In a lot of cases we've found it's best to coordinate directly with a local flat bed outfit to haul the vehicle to their holding lot, then have a transport carrier pickup the vehicle from there where the tow company can assist with loading. In the event we can't roll a vehicle, we have a...

Not sure who Warren is, but, I'm Jason Hughes of 057 Tech. :) To clarify, we do battery replacements. Cells aren't replaced, despite claims by YouTube folks. We do test everything, refurbish parts that can be refurbished, and overall provide battery packs that should work for a long time...
