Push notifications stopped working on my new Android phone and I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same problem. (Android 14) They were working but stopped after I had a charging glitch. I've tried everything....the notifications are working locallly at the OVMS car module and I...

She's a gem and in good hands!!!

Great work @marco2228 ....the Taycan battery form factor looks like a good choice. Would make more sense to use something similar from Tesla as they would probably be more abundant and perhaps cheaper but I'm no expert and not sure if anything even exists. How difficult and pricey is it to...

One would have to assume Gruber and Medlock have had this diagnostic software for sometime....perhaps not as up to date as this latest release. Correct me if I'm wrong but one thing missing and vital are details on the PEM. Since it was sourced from a Taiwanese supplier, I can imagine it's...

Is this the same software Tesla service shops, Gruber and Medlock use to support our Roadsters?

I'm really enjoying this setup...great sound and integrates well with Android auto to my phone! Great job and good pick by Islandroadster!!

The OVMS module has it's own built-in webserver so the first thing I would do is go to the car...go into your wifi settings and see if the OVMS network is available...if so connect to this wifi network...open your browser and go to 192.168.4.1 to see if the login web page is available and if so...

If you see the days increasing it sounds like the app is not the problem. The easiest way to reboot the ovms is to unplug the power and plug it back in

Looks like ovms hasn't been communicating with the server for 25 days...can you log into it locally at the car? If ovms is not responding try rebooting to start. If the app on your phone is hung, have you tried closing it out and restaring it?

I agree….his take on this is simplistic. This is a fascinating subject to me…..I see this as an application or gear in problem…..why they started out with a two speed gearbox to complicate things is beyond me because the VFD technology to use a single speed motor and drive was quite mature at...

Well done video and kudos to @Onepointfive for the post.....it's one fun car to own...a real piece of art and history it's a wonderful car....I don't believe the noise the car generates is the gearbox....my many years of working with drive systems tells me the sound comes from the IGBT's...

Are you charging at 120 or 220 volts?? The AC only cools the battery if you are charging at 220 Volts. Charging at 120 volts you are dependant on the coolant pump and ambient temperature to get the battery temperature low enough for the coolant pump to shut off.

Does this part work on a 2018 Model 3?

Mark…Thanks much for all you do to clarify and support! I now have OVMS coverage on WiFi at home and by cellular away. Still running older software as my provider will support 3g for sometime yet. Will update in due course. It seems the solution to getting both working and switching was to use...

I get unrecognised command for this as well I'm trying to switch between wifi and cellular communication to no avail. If I try to activate my cellular modem while connected to wifi it just hangs and seems to connect to the network but no data transmits....would be nice to have data switch back...

I get unrecognised command for cellular …should this read simcom?

The Heathman Lodge destination charger is 16kW. If you had Henry's Can Sr. adapter you'd be charging at 70 amps. I'm a huge fan of the Can Sr. it's a robust piece of craftsmanship in a nice small package good for 70 amps. Considering the numerous 16kw Destination chargers around your neck of the...

If you haven't seen it already, check out a recent Roadster Envy You Tube video with some British humour debunking the infamous Top Gear perspective It will make you want to go jump in your roadster and enjoy a nice ride in the countryside!

Likely Vin#1116 InstantTorque ....he lives out that way

I'm a big fan of OVMS....it provides a lot of information and generates great notifications on the health of my roadster. The device is incredible value and fairly easy to install. It's a very inexpensive piece of insurance. I can't Thank the crew that developed this and made it open source...

There are two roadsters in Canada listed for sale on Gruber's site. I believe they are owned by the same person. https://grubermotors.com/product-category/tesla-vehicles-for-sale/roadster-teslas-for-sale/

Thanks for responding. Did yours come from QC ?

Is the JeDeMo conversion on the car originally by QC? Is it something that you could supply?

Congratulations on your awesome win!! Are you good folks able to do a CHAdeMO conversion? Was the Tesla SC ok with it when they did the 3.0 upgrade or was CHAdeMO conversion done after??

Makes me want to jump in #609 and head to Burgerville Centralia.....she looks good there and probably misses visiting there as much as I do! A Yelp review of 3.5 ????? I'd rate it at least a 10 especially for their support of the Roadster community!!!

Not to mention Burgerville serve awesome food!! If I’m not mistaken Tom Saxton may have helped get the Centralia one installed as well as another one in Ellensberg. The one in Ellensberg shows up as having been vandalized on Plugshare :( I just checked PlugShare and the one in Ferndale is still...

I have a destination wall charger for my Model 3 and repurposed the Portable charge cable that came with my Model 3 to supply my Roadster. All you need is an extra 220 volt 12 or 20 amp circuit feeding a 15-50Amp Oven receptacle to plug the Mobile connector in to. Assuming you have Henry's...

Maybe going to a Go-Cart track to have some fun is the answer to getting it out of his system. Failing that an electric scooter might seal the deal! :):):)

Thanks Mark! I appreciate all your hard work!

Thanks! Makes sense didn't realize the first message was a predictor. My other question relates to trying to get an idea of battery health remotely via a shell ovms query. The documentation mentions the BMS and v+t display is not supported but the command line interpreter provides a BMS query...

Yes...the message sent on start of charging gives a peculiar charged value which I don't understand and then the message on charge completion gives another value which seems to me should be about 0.5 kWh for a ten minute charge but displays a value many times that amount. It looks like the...

The kWh calculation done and reported by OVMS does not appear to be too accurate. Is there a configuration setting available to improve the accuracy of this reported value? For example a ten minute charge at 240V 12A reports anywhere between 1 and 20kWh Also, when I query the BMS status it...

Thanks ....have read this explanation before but TEG and Tex EV seem to have a more in depth perspective....would be nice if someone could elaborate on the failed experiment.

I've often wondered what the cause of the first fire was. Does anyone know for sure?

Great sleuth work! The Gjeebs video is very significant, and well done. It chronicles the state of an amazing facility. It's too sad that Pete Gruber and his team's dedication, hard work and contributions to preserving these historic vehicles has been marred by this tragedy. He is a class act...

I suspect we can learn a lot from your experience. How did things go? Does this help balance the pack as well?

Thanks so much for all your hard work! Will these error numbers be generated as error messages from the OVMS app or on the VDS screen?

Not sure if this is of help or relevant but according to the Roadster Service Technical Training manual 0% SOC is 3.0 volts which seems excessive and dangerous. As I recall from an EV conversion project I was involved in during the early days of applying Li-Ion, the safe design limit is...

As a new owner gathering experience with the OVMS charge control, I'm assuming the daily top up algorithm is buried in the logic somewhere. Can anyone tell me if it is easily modified. I am pleased with how well it works but have to wonder if I should be concerned with the daily wear and tear on...

Yes... that's the company Chroma ATE...it’s fascinating to me Tesla turned to them since AC Propulsion's analog drive technology didn’t suit them. I would imagine they could quickly provide the HP in a compact space as well since AC's biggest drive at the time was far less. Chroma probably had...

I learned from Pete Gruber the PEM was designed and built by a company in Taiwan (I forgot the name) . As I recall, he didn't think they were building them anymore. Interesting the date code on the box is 2017. Almost indicates Tesla has a stock of NOS PEMS's???

I have to reiterate what gregd says...you really need to get yourself a 220Volt circuit. Read through may posts on this forum that tell how unreliable 120 Volt charging is. You need a secure 220 volt circuit to protect your investment!!

Glad to hear you have an OVMS. Based on what I have read I have come to the conclusion it's best to treat my new roadster like I charge my M3. I just leave my M3 plugged in at a setpoint of 80% so I always leave home with a "full tank" I have a destination charger and of course it's easy to...

https://www.openvehicles.com/ IMHO wouldn't want to own a Roadster without an OVMS! Very reasonable, not difficult to install or setup and incredible support.

I've had just the opposite experience with Tesla's Vancouver service...they have two very good techs. Their field guys don't have any experience working on Roadsters. PM me if you like I can give you some good contact information!

The roadster community is really blessed with the Open Vehicle Monitoring hardware developed by an amazing group Open Vehicle Monitoring System | Open Vehicles . If you don't have an OVMS installed for remote monitoring I'd heartily recommend you get one! It also allows you to control charging...

I've been charging my car at 240V 12 amps in standard mode and it seems to cool the ESS down quite nicely. Just plugging it in seems to start everything in motion. Am I missing something here as a newbie
