    Peak Supercharging Rate for Current Model X?

    Need to upgrade a bunch of stuff and upgrade to a 100 pack to do 250 kW charging on older S/X. Even then there's still some bottlenecks. For example, my very early 2016 X (VIN 2k) has all the possible hacks for this without going into potentially unsafe territory, including an upgrade to a 100...

    Strange. I get DMs here regularly. I've not touched these settings in years. I'd be quite curious if something has been done to mess up my DMs. I don't control this site. I did change twitter to "Verified" some time ago because the amount of spam I get on Twitter is immense. My email is...

    For the record, I've received zero DM's, emails, PMs, etc here or elsewhere regarding this since my post above 10 days ago. In fact, the last DM about anything service plan related was in September it looks like. (Popping in now from an unrelated DM notification, and it reminded me of the...

    You've been continuously and directly telling people to sue 057 based on false accusations. You've made sarcastic comments that just openly suggest that I personally am a liar. You are now backpedaling and saying it's "someone" involved and they're "responsible" for something horrible enough...

    The only people here who are likely to have any contact with my attorney are the ones who appear intent on openly publishing libel on this forum. I've not swindled anyone. And to the best of my knowledge, no one else involved in anything with 057 has swindled anyone either. To the best of my...

    I had written a long verbose post, as is my style, defending the service plan program... because it does bother me that people are trying to make out something that I put a lot of work into out to be some kind of scam when it clearly never was.... but, I'm not going to bother. It's just not my...

    "Our" as in, speaking from/for the company. ChatGPT, take it away: When someone uses "our" in the context of referring to something a company offers, it doesn't necessarily imply that the speaker is personally offering the product or service along with the company. Instead, "our" is often used...

    It was not. Had nothing to do with anything technical like that. The entire company was 100% onboard with deferring to my judgement and expertise on those types of matters. As in, no "resets" or other such fake repair garbage. Again, was a personal decision entirely on principle, and I will...

    Keep in mind this account was a paid vendor account (ie, company account of 057 Tech) up until only a couple of weeks ago when I discussed the situation a bit with TMC admins.

    Some time based contractual stuff was confirmed no longer enforceable after the new year. --- To the extended service plan folks, a few things: First off, 057 never sold "warranties". There's a huge difference between a warranty and a service plan. Service plans are backed by the company...

    Bunch of reasons. Not the least of which is that I don't think people should be resetting BMS's. Also, the pool of suspects for such a "leak" would be quite small, so I'll pass. ☝️ I mean, the prices on the website were pretty much made up and never updated. Don't think anything except...

    Definitely not getting into the nitty gritty legal stuff here. Suffice it to say, just because one party breaches an aspect of a contract it doesn't automatically give the other party free reign to ignore it with impunity. If you don't know that I'd suggest researching some basic contract law...

    I sold 100% of 057 Tech early in 2023 to a partnership lead by a long time customer who supported the vision and, frankly, has deeper pockets than I for getting more things off the ground and out of development. I stayed on for engineering as an employee, and I unfortunately later completely...

    Battery imbalance cell reading changes

    I've directly sourced data on nearly 50 vehicles where third parties have attempted module swaps to fix Model S's, and data from a... source... on an additional ~110. The long term success rate of those is exactly as expected: 0%. There was a contender for a little while that kept that number...

    Battery imbalance cell reading changes

    Module swaps never work. At one point half the cars in the 057 shop with battery issues were there because some other company/person tried a module swap "repair." I eventually just stopped accepting them because people who don't know what they're doing when opening up the battery make the work...

    (Note: Not a personal post.) The terms have always been quite clear on all of this. If a customer is unhappy with the service plan, the only remedy is to cancel it. Also, it's always been a service plan, not insurance. As for folks claiming they've not received service, the "ESP Requests"...

    It's always been faster and safer to deal with HV batteries without using a lift, believe it or not. Especially with inoperable cars. Lift has only really been good for motor swaps, tire/wheel stuff, etc. Oh right...🐘... Thanks to everyone for the their thoughts and concerns about my...

    BMS_w035 is almost never a battery pack issue. Not sure why no one has responded with that info. We use the BMD to determine when possible, but we can't always see what the source of an external isolation issue is. When the BMD isn't available, we usually want to see something other than an...

    Lots of work and lots of changes. My time has been extremely limited.

As of right now, no one who requires service under the ESP is unhandled as far...

    A little direction with a crash!

    Yeah, if a line bursts you still have some brakes. I believe it's front right and rear left paired and front left and rear right, actually. I suppose, but seems highly unlikely. That'd be an insane failure. It'd also be incredibly messy any obvious. And you're right, would be incredibly...

    A little direction with a crash!

    Unfortunately the scenario, as described, is a work of fiction. There's no reality where things could have occurred as outlined here. Again, if you hit the brake, the car would have slowed/stopped. You did not. You may think you did. May even firmly believe you did. Dare even say you know...

    This is technically an ongoing bet, but in fairness everyone who's taken me up on it I've never held to paying me. It's effectively impossible for me to lose the bet because it's impossible for SUA to actually happen. I recently debunked this on Twitter.

    Well the HV battery died per Tesla remote diagnosis, what are my options?

    We've worked on hundreds, if not more, of these packs. We sometimes do multiple repairs/replacements in a day at this point. "Well it worked for me" doesn't really carry over to what is generally the case.

    Well the HV battery died per Tesla remote diagnosis, what are my options?

    This isn't necessarily true, and probably jumping the gun on a diagnosis. I don't know how many times we've had cars here from after people have attempted their own repairs or repairs by a very unqualified 3rd party only to have them fail and end up with us for a repair/replacement. The...

    Well the HV battery died per Tesla remote diagnosis, what are my options?

    Heavy rain shouldn't be a problem, but if the rain somehow got the car to be sitting in standing water up to the battery pack, that'd be the issue.

    (BMW_029.... hmmm 😅 ) Considering the updates actually have nothing whatsoever to do with the cause of the issue (as I've said many times before), it'll be interesting to see what kind of angles the lawyers come up with. There's only two possible states with regard to this: You have a vehicle...

    Battery defect for IT brainstorming BMS_u029 - P85 MS 2013

    I'm not sure even the undocumented commands were intended to reset this particular error, though. More of a secondary effect rather than intended behavior, IMO.

    Anyone Have Video Supercharging Model S P100D At 150 kW?

    The 100s are actually slightly more efficient on the highway, as there's more cells in parallel so less drain per cell and thus less internal heating losses (takes longer to drain the pack, so less strain per cell). In city driving they're slightly less efficient due to the small added weight...
