    Okay Kenny, since you have the high voltage battery open, You have the bmb missing in action DTC's. Closely recheck and inspect all connections on the master bmb board. If you have knowledge and equipment, back probe brick voltages at pictured board connector. If all else fails, call this...

    New tesla owner

    Because she, as well as someone else I know, as well as innumerable other people, live on Fantasy Island. It's got free supercharging. It will cost me nothing to run. I can't lose! Then reality hits, they are furious with Tesla and almost always, as NV Ray said, they are never heard from...

One possible future for you for you is in a link listed below from Miss Panda. I hope you like reading. There's a good reason why so many 2013 "really good...

    Tesla Reman Replacement HV battery failure trend?

    @ Texas Chris, Can I trouble you to repeat and post your TM-SPY results at another pack charge level? Almost empty, say 5%. I have found the 5% (or less) level to be the most telling indicator of battery imbalance health. In the meantime, look at your current TM-SPY readings. Full high...

    Model S from US (now in Ukraine) does not start

    When you say 8200, am I correct in thinking 8200 U.S. dollars? If so, interesting, not very expensive including shipping. I see your car came from Atlantic City, New Jersey, a lovely salty wet environment. Your first photo shows "grayed out" battery modules. My educated guess would be a "no...

    Model S from US (now in Ukraine) does not start

    Can you please tell us how much you paid for that fine New Jersey Model S? After that, remove your high voltage pack, open it up, and do a thorough pack inspection. You have tons of help available to you in Ukraine.

    New battery with lower range and BMS error

    I see you now have a useable remaining pack energy level of 84.1 kwh. Were you wise enough to record your useable on your, now failed, original battery? I just had my in warranty 2016 90 kwh battery replaced under the 8-year warranty. I was prepared for that scenario. I kept track of my...

    Beware EV's Republic

    EV's Republic, Rancho Cordova, California. My in person visit. Three attendants at their desks behind computers. I talked about a future battery replacement for my 2016 Model S. One aspect of the conversation threw up a red flag. We could not agree on battery range for the replacement...

    Purchased Tesla 2017 Model S 90D, Received 60D

    Was Tesla "software capping" 75kwh batteries to 60kwh in 2017?

    2016 Model S Windshield Issue

    Our 2014 S had a similar (mild) version of your windshield. My guess was lesser quality adhesive used on the car. I always dismissed it as cosmetic. Please let us know if Tesla is willing to re-adhesive or replace the glass.

    Battery imbalance cell reading changes

    I was trying to make out the numbering on your somewhat fuzzy scan my Tesla attachment photo. You are probably correct with modules 8 and 10. The important thing is that you get what I'm driving at. And the layout attachment above shows correctly. You know what you're doing. You'll be fine...

    Battery imbalance cell reading changes

    Okay 5J, It sounds like you're moving in the right direction. Pull modules 9 and 11 out of the pack. Measure voltage on 6 individual bricks on each module. Do some bricks measure 1 or 2 volts? Yes? Module requires replacement. No? 3 volts or more? Lucky you. Most likely BMS board on the module...

    Out of Warranty Drive Unit Replacement and Cost

    I didn't realize it at the time , but the Quick Jack will NOT allow Tesla high voltage battery removal. You need to use a two-post lift such as MaxJax. Live and learn. I have a 1760 pound cart from Amazon on my list for when battery day comes for me...

    High Mileage Service Options

    With the exception of the alignment I do all those maintenance items myself. There's quite a bit of labor involved in all the listed tasks. Full Toolbx version 2 access does not come cheap. If you trust the mechanic, $1,300.00 is not unreasonable. If it helps you sleep better, go for it.

    2012 P85 HV battery replacement options -- need perspective.

    Okay Mr. Intellectual Puzzle, when are you going to get Scan My Tesla and see if your full tank stops charging at 4.1 volts per cell or 4.2 volts per cell? If you want a real puzzle, see if you can figure out how to remove the Tesla charging cap on your battery, that will keep you busy for a...

    2013 Model S Needs HV Battery

    Concentrate on the high voltage isolation issue diagnosed by the technician. You may have an internally flooded high voltage battery. The 12 volt battery issue is baloney.

    85 kWh refurb +100mV imbalance

    Interesting! You are the first person I've known to validate Jason Hugh's battery findings. My guess is that Tesla changed one or more modules in your replacement high voltage pack and the slight specification mismatch in all the individual bricks cannot be corrected by the small BMS bleeder...

    Anyone have experience with Bridgestone Quiettrack tires

    I bought four Bridgestone Quietracks at Americas Tire shop and have 20,000 miles on my set. I predict I'll get 40,000 miles of life out of them. My Quietrack choice was made largely because of the (no way they will make) 80,000 mile warranty. Doesn't Costco record vehicle mileage at time of...

    High Voltage Interlock Loop (HVIL) Issue - Questions

    Disable the high voltage battery contactors. Remove the high voltage junction box lid. Look for evidence of a proximity switch on the lid and HVJB mainframe. On early Model S it should be replaceable?? If you find it, please post photos.

    Failure of the high voltage junction box - 2014 Model S

    The high voltage junction box has no part in the creation of 400 volts. Its more like a traffic cop directing and distributing current flow. Back in say, 2016 Tesla would change it no qustions asked. Now not so much.
