Hi, Do you remember what was the issue ? I have exactly the same error. Have they replaced the contactors ?

Upgrading a single GEN1 40A to 2x 40A is not an issue. I have done it before, it works. Upgrading from single GEN2 48A to 2x 48A also works without issues. There are issues replacing GEN1 with GEN2 chargers + GEN2 HVJB. I close HVIL properly, I understand well how the system works, but when I...

I was trying to retrofit a gen1 on board charger on a 2013 US model S with one or 2 Gen2 chargers. Anyone else attempted this? I managed to replace the gen1 with gen3 and it worked with no issues. But with gen2, after sw redeploy, contactors don't close and dcdc doesn't show up. HVJB was...

But that fan never spins on the desk :) I powered it up directly to cool down the bloody Tegra. Does yours spin ?

But that is output from CID and input for IC, right? It should be 12V level, right?

Pm me, I think I know how you could activate Spotify in US.

But that is output from CID and input for IC, right? It should be 12V level, right?

Hi guys, Got almost the same isue, 12v battery discharged, car does not drive, contactors don't close. I suppose there is an isolation issue. I can see in BMS data isolation res. 3580 kOhms, which looks normal. I suppose this is internal isolation. It seams that BMS measures separate internal...

No, supercharger uses DC, + and -, not AC.It is the same in US and EU. Only the connectors are different.

I have gen1 chargers, so they are not 3 phase. They are 10kw 1phase each. HVJB is also gen1, and does not have relays for all 3 phase. Currently I am working on a setup with a modified EU gen2 hvjb and 3 gen1 chargers connected on each phase. I also intend to replace the us port with EU port...

It seams that it does absolutely the same when connected to my car. I believe it expects specific can packets to stay awake. Somebody told me that it is immobilizer related and there is a procedure to make the charger learn a new immobilizer code.

The short time it stays UP (10 seconds) between reboots is not enough to even connect to it, the car does not have time to identify it, neither Toolbox does. It must have a signal, input pin on the 10 pin connector coming from HVJB gen2, but I can't test as I don't have another car to measure...

Hello guys, no activity here for a while. I was trying to replace a gen1 charger and HVJB with GEN2 in a 2013 Model S. The car, as expected, does not recognize the new charger, as expected it needs redeploy to match the firmware on gw and charger. The problem is that the GEN2 charger looks like...

Was anybody replacing the gen1 HVJB with gen2, without replacing also the gen1 chargers ? I know the connector cables for AC (HVJB -> Charger) and DC (Charger -> HVJB) have to be adapted. Anybody did this already, is it working ?

Lithium 12V batteries are fine for warm climate regions. They must not be charged below zero degrees Celsius without preheating, as they get permanently damaged.

Take a closer look to this failed arm. It look to me extremely porous, the center material is like sand, I can scratch it with my finger. It looks that the only structure that counts in that part is the thin metal shell, however porous, full of gas bubbles from casting. I will order a third...

But why somebody would do this ? How that guy became so against Tesla, what did they do to him ?

Sure, tell this to these 100 guys. Unfortunately you can not tell this to all of them, because some of them died in accidents claimed to be caused by the failing suspension. Tesla suspension Hall Of Shame!

I have told you this car passed the technical inspection and I know for sure they did it right. We have also inspected the car last year. We are engineers here, we know what we are doing. There was nothing wrong with that suspension arm one year ago. I am not claiming anything from anyone, and...

Unfortunately, I am not the only one, just look here: tesla suspension arm - Google Search Tesla was investigated for forcing clients to sign agreements to not talk about the issues in exchange for covering part of repairs. The main question here is if they release an updated version of that...

We don't have in Europe this "salvage" notion. No matter how the car was damaged, if it was repaired and it passes the inspection, it is a normal car. In US the salvage status is given by insurance companies based on financial evaluation, and not by safety evaluation. There is no reason to...

Abs sensor had a bad connector. It made imperfect contact, probably because water was leaking inside and it was rusted. Since then the car was driving normally for about one year, except some air conditioning and many other small but annoying issues. The body work was done in the rear bumper and...

The suspension was not affected by any accident or was previously repaired without my knowledge. When it arrived in Europe after small body work, It passed the technical inspection and was found compliant with the EU safety standards. The left side suspension seams to experience the same...

It was never aligned. This is the 2013 model S!

Actually, you don't need much force to get these on the tires. They are caused by slowly moving the car while parking close enough to the pedestrian sidewalks. Some of these sidewalks have sharp edges that happen to cut these tires. This has no connections with the broken suspension arm. There...

Most of the things you highlighted were there before the technical inspection. None of them should cause suspension failure. They are just surface scratches, Left side rim looks much better, but the tire is even worse worn out. I will take that wheel off and inspect the arm, I bet it is cracked...

I have never hit any sidewall, or any curb. I have never smashed into anything. Small potholes are on the street, how should I know when one of them broke the fragile tesla suspension arm before my wheel runs away ? I had regular inspection in time. I have other things to do in my life other...

I had 2 Audi and one VW car in the last 20 years. It never happened to have any problem with the suspension in over half million kilometers! The design of this suspension is incredibly bad. The question is not if they all will fail, but when. Was this design changed in later versions? The car...

My wife was driving us home this Saturday, as we were coming back from a wedding party. There was nobody on the other side of the road. She hit a small, really small pothole when the car became hard to control. For a short time we went on the other side of the road, then she managed to get back...

This is not true for all the cars. There are a lot of examples of cars with small damage, which were declared salvage. They are salvage simply because it does not make sense for insurance companies to repair them in Tesla body shops ! These body shops make offers way to high to repair them, so...

But he could be a service customer for Tesla if they are not stupid to refuse servicing and selling parts. A restored salvage means less energy spent to build a new one and less waste for the planet. Isn't that the main idea, to reduce our footprint on climate and reduce waste?! Why scraping...

But it can be re-enabled. Do they check anything online when supercharging? I think there is a setting to not even send the vin for charging telemetry. Anybody tested that?

Thank you, I replaced it with the original Hyundai part 96985 3X000 as shown in the attached picture and it works perfectly: I also changed the position of the sensor, as I believe the original location is too close to a radiator and also directly exposed to moisture, ice and salt they use...

Did you manage to find it? What is the manufacturer part number ? Or is it just a simple resistor ?

Beside you 2 guys, do you think there are other people here that are not idiots ? I personally met other people here who are not idiots and did useful things together in servicing these cars. Anyway, it is good for this community that at least 2 guys are not idiots so we, all the rest, may pay...

Honestly, most of the things on these cars are easy to do. The only problem is this secrecy that I can understand to some extent in order to prevent Tesla finding our ways in and locking us out or locking our ways of diagnosing, retrofitting, upgrading these cars. I respect and was willing to...

Anybody knows the part numbers for the 2 Gigavac contactors that they use to replace the faulty Tyco ones? I think they are close to this one, but I am not sure if they are both the same and what exactly version is needed (pwm or not): Gigavac GV200-MA EV Contactor - 4000 Amps Max - EV200...

Thank you, now I understand the logic behind this, but I have a permanent 4g router in that car, I would be very happy to make it stay on wifi. Also it makes no sense to disconnect wifi when the 3g link is down, which is my case!

After changing different 4g routers and wifi settings, once I thought I managed to find one which works and is stable, I noticed that it works fine when the car is in Park mode. Once I switch to D or R, it instantly drops the wifi, and never reconnects by itself. If I reconnect it manually, it...

It looks like they store that metal frame uncovered, outside and it was raining on them! They are rusted everywhere! Also the metal quality in terms of resistance to corrosion seams to be low :(

After a full day of work, with the help of one of my colleagues, I managed to fix a really annoying air conditioning intermittent failure. The blower was sometime working normal, but sometimes was just complete off, no matter what settings you make. I first observed that punching in different...

Are Bluetooth and wifi more stable in 2018.12?

I have 2018.6 and it goes up to 12.

no, power saving is disabled. I'll try to find out where it stores the index files and maybe restoring them fast at boot time will solve that issue.

It powers off during the night, so every morning it is doing that! :(

I have 8.1.18.6.1.75-641efacf8c. Bluetooth is unusable, it drops 4 out of 5 conversations. Also usb stick with music takes more than 5 minutes to start playing after reboot. It does indexing. Anybody knows how to stop that ?

Anybody played with the openvpn on CID ? I have replaced the config file and keys from /var/etc/openvpn with my own, the tunnel comes up, vpn works fine. But I have noticed that the conf files are replaced with tesla's and I see in logs attempts to bring up tesla's openvpn ! Then I have noticed...

How did your friend fixed the radio tuner ? I still have this problem with an US car that I have converted to EU. Although it is not something so important as I don't usually listen to the radio, I would like to fix it.Is there a way to force the tuner getting the US firmware which works on it...

Of course it is possible. The community has knowledge to build an open source software package compatible with the tesla original hardware! It would be nice for Tesla to release even source code for older sw versions!

I am also engineer, 20+ years experience with Linux and electronics. I've got a salvage Tesla in Europe where I live. The car had no problem except some small body work needed in the back side. I needed access for diagnostic, software update, and EU maps installing. First I asked on the forum...
