So water intrusion not covered under defects in workmanship? If the pack wasn't installed correctly, or service done prior and it wasn't secure, that would qualify in workmanship failure. I don't buy water intrusion being the fault of the owner. Unless damage can be proven from the owner. I've...

I’m confused. Isn’t there an 8 year infinite mile warranty?

Can anyone who know’s how to execute a service-redeploy message me please?

Has anyone had their unlimited supercharging removed? Have a performance that was delivered right after EM tweeted (oct 2018) that the performance package was now included. Talked to tesla about having unlimited supercharging as a result of not getting the package. Would have selected it had it...

Does any rooted users know how to get the console feed from the MCU? To see what is being executed?

Looking for a black painted cover for the exterior passenger rear mirror. Any takers? For a good price I'll buy both of them.

If you replace the 3G modem with an LTE in the MCU and it doesn't come with it's own SIM card, the original SIM card will not work for the LTE hardware. Correct?

ScanMyTesla showed zero buffer and total available battery kWh was the usable amount. Anyone else seeing this?

Considering buying a Tesla. Not sure used/new. Should the news bring EV revelations that depreciate the capabilities of prior models, would it be wiser to hold off until after Sept 22 to make a new purchase? Or F it and just buy the damn thing?

I’ve never tried this with a lithium cell, but I remember in inorganic chemistry my nutty professor threw elemental Mg in water and BOOM! Since Lithium (unsure if elemental or not) needs oxygen (Oxygen in dihydromonoxide <— causes cancer lol) to combust, I think you’ve got it backwards...

Coolant isn’t flammable. If you submerge batteries completely in water, there is no oxygen to combust. However, water with solutes creates a galvanic process that corrodes metals and creates an environment for ignition. If cells become exposed because of corrosion, oxygen, short, spark, heat are...

In light of the known defect that risk battery fire due to the cooling system, Tesla likely used it as an excuse to gimp all our packs to keep from having to pay out for replacing packs that wear down from normal use. That seems like the most likely rational.

Tesla Model S X Obeche wood Dash vent Trim Passenger side bezel | eBay If you have a mint or damaged Obeche horizontal passenger panel to hat needs replacing and plan on using a phone/tablet mount for your Tesla, this is the item for you. Don't mount anything to your current dash trim. Buy...

I apologize if this topic has already been covered. Has anyone run across a spreadsheet of what someone can expect make in returns for parting out a Tesla Model S. Rich Rebuilds famously bought 2 salvage Model S vehicles and ended up with a functional vehicle with a debt of $6500 I believe...

One of the more recent RichRebuilds episodes they mention adding a battery heater to a model 3 battery pack. Is this something that can be purchased online. I’d be interested in getting one for longevity purposes. It’s really important to get the pack to 40°C to anneal dendrites when supercharging.

Several highlights in the upcoming battery technology announcement. The 3rd generation wall connector is wifi capable. The model 3 is bidirectional hardware enabled. Tesla Autobidder set to sequester power when cheap and sell when profitable. Tesla will offer customers the ability to transform...

Can you get the pack out?

Helpful to ask the v8 guys that aren’t limited.

Don’t do it!

nhtsa.gov is down...

If you update, that gives Tesla plausible deniability to the changes they made. There will be no way to compare before and after to validate that the changes they made were legal and valid. Depending on what Tesla claims in court, the NHTSA may not have the ammunition to hold Tesla’s feet to...

The link I sent earlier was a summary webpage but the article goes into much more depth. Error - Cookies Turned Off The panasonic 18650B doesn't differ enough in design to be considered "significantly" different than the batteries in Tesla S/X. They did cycle the batteries between 4.2V and...

March 11th 2020 study found Panasonic NCR 18650B batteries are damaged from Fast-charging. Article suggest improved "industrial" to "adaptive" charging based on internal resistance. Fast-charging damages electric car batteries According to their research, my car battery is fried. Industrial...

I would get a newer 75D and have rich rebuilds put a salvage 100kwh pack and beef it up. That way you save on insurance while driving lightning in a bottle.

I am getting limited at 200kW with the yellow dotted line around 50% SoC. With Insaine+ enabled. At high speeds it's got no power. This batterygate situation sucks so bad.

Has anyone else experienced this. I apologize if this is already answered. I'm on 2020.8.1.1 (15' MSP85Dand over 70mph I was getting limited to 200KW on acc with the yellow dotted line. Insaine+ was enabled with battery temp around 80's F. Letting off the throttle for about 45 sec would...

Good point CsR, didn't wk507 offer some kind of gateway to redirect Cellular traffic away from Tesla while still allowing app access, Navigation, streaming services? Great project for the entrepreneurial. Great pickup Dr! Thank you for sharing that. While skeptical because of controversy, I...

I agree with you Chaserr. But what would you think if tomorrow your battery was mysteriously uncapped?

This is strictly a hunch. There isn't absolute certainty in anything I share on here. Invitations to agree/disagree. Maybe the cap was a temporary tolerance analysis whereby the BMS was put into study mode. Each pack as a device was set to operate so that the battery temps are tightly monitored...

Purchased CPO and the hood had dings and paint damage. Looking for one with little to no damage.

Sounds awfully similar to Batterygate.

Reman = remanufactured or refurbished.

Thank you for the clarification. But the purpose of my perspective was simply to explain how it functions speaking to consumers, not to explain how to repair, implement and manage supercharging stations to technicians/engineers. The purpose of the discussion involves the consumer experience only...

Basically, supercharging is Tesla’s brand of DC-Fast charging they have created as a brand specific network to charge Tesla Motor’s battery packs with direct current or DC. All electric vehicles are ultimately charged with DC but the means of traversing energy beyond the outer surface of the...

Never have I ever stumbled across so much butthurt in a forum over people just trying to share knowledge. Jesus christ.

semantics.

Sorka, what model battery pack are your rocking?

Keep in mind that the Battery management system keeps track of how much power is added via supercharging (aka DC charging) vs charging at home on a wall connector (aka AC charging). In principle this should not matter but my supercharging rates have been significantly reduced due to the fact...

Urban supercharging is 72kw max useable but I guess it's theoretical max is 74kw. It should show the max charge in the Navigation UI when you select the station.

Similarly, I have thought about bringing this performance topic up at the SC. It took me over 17 hours to complete a non-stop trip from Detroit, MI to Atlanta, GA. I only gave myself about an 8-2 mile cushion between charges to reduce charge times. Slammed 128 kW in the pack at extremely low...

I appreciate it.

The brushed metal edge of the dash has been damaged. I bought the vehicle CPO and there was aftermarket accessories installed that I was trying to uninstall. The metal edge of the dashboard top flap now has an unsightly bend. Other that ordering a used dash top on eBay, has anyone had any...

Does ludicrous mode accel the death of a dying pack?

Had some weird SuC activity yesterday. Drove 15’ P85D from michigan to Georgia. And it took 17 hours. This is the last charge 2020.8.1 Switched SuC and it ramped down from 90kw. So ready for this battery to fail. Arrived with 1 mike range.

Has anyone done this already. If the salvage car was pre v10 and the receiving car post v10, will the bms be overwritten by the car getting the salvage pack?

Just thinking proactive/diy approach, has anyone investigated or attempted replacing modules with relatively low voltages across all SoC? There are several hurdles to accessing the pack: dropping out, opening, restoring seals against waterproofing. The BMS has to play some role in capping the...

with quick reflexes, can the driver hit the stalk to put the car in neutral? I've had an Infiniti QX4 get the pedal stuck on the hwy and turned off the ignition immediately to coast safely off the road. Going into neutral should stop acceleration promptly.

I'd go somewhere else for advice on this issue. They will scourge you for attempted electrocution.

Questions P85D ‘15 owner: -Software gate affect “paid off” or “original owner” vehicles than 2nd hand or leased vehicles? -Reduced max charge cars. Is there any teslaspy data on cells voltages etc, to indicate how close another pack is to failure? my stats: DC charge total 14971kWh...
