    How many of you will/may transition to CyberTruck?

    Hey-oh! Just wanted to stop by from the Rivian forums and say congratulations on the Cybertruck becoming a reality. I know all of us who had a reservation were really eager to see what came to market. From all of us to all of you, happy holidays and safe travels.

    Supercharger - Orangeburg, SC

    No, solaredge makes optimizers that input two panels in parallel and then that pair goes on the string in series.

    Supercharger - Orangeburg, SC

    Looks like they might be wiring pairs of panels up in series. 630v is well above the 350-ish I normally see from my single panels.

    Rear Axle Clicking

    Should have been less than that, but who knows, maybe inflation?

    Are you still on the original battery pack with your 2012-2015 Model S?

    No offense, but numbers on the dash don't mean a whole lot. You really need the usable/nominal capacity from the BMS.

    Cybertruck Specs Leaked?

    What do we all make of this? Roughly 266 miles of range if 6% is 16 miles.

    Cybertruck Very Popular Topic On Rivian Forum

    Well I would argue that fart sounds were off brand for Tesla. And if not off brand, in very poor taste. But as I've always said with regards to Tesla USB media, maybe rivian and Tesla should both focus on legit software improvements that their infotainment needs, rather than seasonal gimmicks.

    Cybertruck Very Popular Topic On Rivian Forum

    Back from the Rivian forums. How y'all liking the CT frunk for ants? And if the Model Y looks like a snake, then the Model X looks like a snake that's eaten a Prius but hasn't fully digested it yet. And yes, meep morp, totally looks like a robot.

    Cybertruck Very Popular Topic On Rivian Forum

    What i find interesting is that Tesla had their energy products as supplemental business. If it wasnt generating revenue, it at least drove stock price and created buzz. But Rivian has this entire commercial fleet angle that's already real. And if they either fulfill their Amazon obligations...

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    You *should* be getting a quote for around $250 if your fuse is on the buttom. If you don't, PM me please.

    Pyro Fuse Fuss

    No, but if you know specific instances (vins), I'd be happy to relay the message to the proper region/chapter. What is Tesla's stance on this? Sometimes even just getting information from them helps. As someone heading out of battery warranty myself, these concerns are something i think about often.

    Pyro Fuse Fuss

    I don't feel comfortable sharing names publicly but the way it's setup, I think we have access to anyone we need to have access to. In this case, it was basically "the-buck-stops-here" level of the service arm of Tesla.

    Pyro Fuse Fuss

    Fair question, I run the Ohio chapter of the Tesla Owners Club. So when we had a bunch of members having this error, I was able to speak with Tesla directly on this issue to get more information. They requested that in return, if there were outliers falling through the cracks of service, they...

    Pyro Fuse Fuss

    If you feel comfortable, DM me the last 6 of your VIN so I can forward to corporate. My understanding is that this is outside the range it should be and they requested to be notified.

    Upgrade to 400amp Service / Powerwalls, Solar, Non-backed Up Loads, Dedicated EV Meter, Oh My!

    Second PV inverter is staying where it is, in the non backed up loads panel. I was reading that you can wrap a CT around two wires as long as they are the same phase. If I move it to right up against the main meter, do I need to get 400amp CTs? What is the downside of having 200amp CTs and the...

    Techs are required to document their "narrative" they call it. Basically what they did and if necessary, how they got there.

    Upgrade to 400amp Service / Powerwalls, Solar, Non-backed Up Loads, Dedicated EV Meter, Oh My!

    Great question. Yes I could get a splitter or connect my two HPWC gen2 together over rs485. But I want to make this not only up to code but also no compromises. I'm too old to play musical cars or make sure every night that charging schedules are set right. And we may add a second heat pump...

    Tesla lies about car range

    Upgrade to 400amp Service / Powerwalls, Solar, Non-backed Up Loads, Dedicated EV Meter, Oh My!

    Current setup has been up and running for about 2 years and is follows: Utility meter brings 200amp service into non-backed up load panel with 200amp main breaker and 225 amp rated bus bar. This panel has the car charger and my second solar inverter in it. Lugs come out of the bottom and go to...

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    The not funny, but not amusing thing about the battery drop is that it's a 2-person, 1.5 hour charge roughly, so 2-3 billable hours. But remember that video where they are touting battery swap and they do 2 cars in, like, 8min? Makes you wonder how many techs they had underneath working on it.

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    Just got off the phone with Tesla and reporting back. If you receive this error and the fuse needs replaced. You should be receiving one of two costs: If your fuse is on top, expect about $550. There is a labor charge to drop the battery to access the fuse. Sorry, that's just how it is...

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    $268.50 plus tax when it was all said and done. I have a meeting with Tesla coming up where I'm going to ask about battery warranty specifics and how they view what is covered and what isn't, specifically the pyro fuse.

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    Fyi, to my knowledge, there isn't a capacity warranty on model S batteries. At least not on mine.

    Yeah, but when did they finally confess to that? It was years after it was first reported.

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    Thank you for posting the cost. I have 90kwh battery with the fuse on the bottom and they are quoting me a third price of $268.25. original was $208, then it jumped to $560 when they decided my fuse might be on the top of the battery (which it isn't, and they should know better). I 100% agree...

    This is exactly how London,KY went down. They left the old chargers and the in a completely new set. Great way not to waste things. This terrre haute charger has only gotten better over the years.

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    I wish I was still as hopeful about Tesla as you, I really do. But they consistently botch communication like this. And that's in part to blame for their decline in service experience.

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    Update: Tesla is telling me that they are going to charge me to "inspect" which fuse I have because it might not actually need replaced. And that's really starting to piss me off because if they are flashing a message on our screens because of a timer, without consideration to the actual...

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    Presumably they are replacing an internal battery powered fuse with a newer one that doesn't require a battery in all cases. Does that sound right? Or is the fuse a different part number if it's on top of the pack vs. in the the cover underneath? Fyi, I have pack number 1063792-00-A

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    This is very helpful. Can you confirm the part number is different because I'm showing a high part cost as well with the "revised" quote.

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    Everyone should post their quotes. I have a quote from yesterday for $208.25 and now today they have "updated" it to $560.62 That's outrageous and I'm having a Karen moment where I want to speak to the manager.
  41. S

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    Looks like Tesla is changing their tune. The cost just jumped to $600. The part is now 340 with another 300 in labor.

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    Waiting on service to tell me if I'm driving a ticking time bomb. There should be no diagnostic charge as the error is the diagnosis. It could be that the fuse is located on top of the battery in some models. If that's the case, I can see the high shop time to drop the battery (~350). In the...

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    Just received the quote back from Tesla. They are putting in v2 of the fuse. Total cost, $208.25 I've confirmed the following internally which others have speculated or discovered: 1. The error is timer based which is why all us 2016 owners are seeing this all of the sudden. 2. The fuse is...

    Hey, can anyone give some updates on this? I'm assuming either everyone here paid the 11k or the pyro fuse blew them up and they can no longer respond.

    Soooo..... couple things. Fam here is parked *way* over the line so that you can't use the stall next to them. But it gets worse, it's 12am and not even plugged in. Which means they are taking up TWO charging spots all the way until morning/checkout time. I mean, I know this person drove a Dodge...
