Seriously, if anyone has any good BMS cards from any bad battery modules, I'd be interested in buying them from you. The modules are in better shape than the BMS cards. I could use 3-4 cards if anyone has them.

Some of the BMS cards have rewired their own circuits. Could this be the beginning of the AI attack that Elon Musk has feared so much? His circuit boards are forming their own synapses!

Thanks, I've been wondering what the possibility is of spontaneous combustion.

I got to try out my new ultrasonic cleaner. Here is the after of the above circuit board.

So the top side looked pretty good. The bottom ... not so much. Hey Car Guru, can I borrow your plastic knife?

This is the 0.1 volt module. I had on my high voltage gloves, rubber soled boots, and was kneeling on a thick rubber pad. Then I noticed my knee was wet. :eek:

9 are 21.x and one is 19.7 volts. I'm taking out the module that's 0.1 shortly to take a look at it.

On to the battery pack. Has anyone ever repaired the cells in one of these? I have 11 cells that measured in the low 20s, one with 0.1 volts, one with 7.5, one with 3.5 volts. Any advice?

9 Here is the male end of the connector. You can see the corrosion. It cleaned up well, though.

Yeah, this is on the top of the pack, facing up so it collects water.

Sorry for your loss, I know how traumatic hurricanes can be. I lived in Puerto Rico during Hugo and Georges and in South Florida for Wilma and Katrina and a year ago Hermine hit here in Tallahassee and our electricity was out 3 weeks. In Puerto Rico, after Georges we didn't have running water...

This is the HV connector on the top of the pack. It was full of water and I suspect it may have been the entry point for water in the pack.

Anyone know what this little connector on the bottom of the battery pack is for? On left rear and has a round black cover that takes a T100 star key.

Here is an update at where I'm at now: It makes a big difference whether it is salt water or fresh water. If you have watched Car Guru's Youtube videos, everything in his car has an incredible amount of corrosion. Even his aluminum parts were highly oxidized. On my MS most of the aluminum looks...

The worst damage so far seems to be charger and high voltage box under the rear seat. There is one picture included at IMGUR above and shows some rust near what is probably a transistor. This is the before picture, and I was able to clean it up pretty well, but these three boards can't be taken...

While the water level was very high, this is freshwater damage, not saltwater. I have tasted it three times now.o_O The deposits from the water are mud and debris, not salt. Although Tesla would never go along with it, this car would be a great testimonial to Tesla's quality and engineering...

Good question scaesare, I saw one other salvage MS with the same issue where the charge port door is melted. As you can see in the picture, this one is all bubbled up. I disassembled this and the tail light and the damage is pretty much only to the red reflective portion. I peeled it off and the...

I lived in Ocean Park, Puerto Rico about 50 meters from the beach for many years. There dealing with salt air and the occasional storm surge is a way of life. I would even have to take apart my computer and VCR periodically to clean the boards of corrosion as salt air can be almost as bad as...

So obviously I was looking for more of a hobby than I was hoping for reliable transportation! :p And no, buying any salvage car is not for the faint of heart. I've been a Tesla enthusiast for some years now. I was on the original list for a Model S, but jumped ship and bought a Fusion Hybrid...

As you can see, I also tested the voltage at the fuse in the pack. I came up with 207 volts at either side of the fuse and used the bottom of the pack as ground. The dash also says I have 93 miles of battery left. Is this a good sign? I have seen posts of batteries being too low to take a...

So as you can see on IMGUR, I did open both the vent and the fuse cover. On the vent side about 5 drops of water came out when I pulled off the three suction cups but no streams of water came out. This seems to be pretty much open to the road so that should be expected. On the fuse side, there...

Pics of Tesla Model S on IMGUR Fuse Battery Pack Tesla Model S

Unfortunately, TMC won't let me post pictures as of yet. For some reason they limit the abilities of new members. It let me upload 2 photos with this thread, but they don't show up. When I get me superpowers I'll let you know.

So moving a 5,400 lb car with a dead battery, locked doors, and parking brakes on on was the first challenge. Not to even mention that the air suspension had the car at about 3 inches off the ground. I had several carriers turn it down. They wanted me to have someone with a forklift meet them...

It's a 2015 MS70. I knew it was flooded, after all it is from Houston. :rolleyes: I bought it thinking I would probably have to replace a lot of the electronics, and would either have to buy from Ebay, or get a second parts car. It was $14,000, although broker and transportation brought it to...

I recently purchased a Model S in auction. It as out of Houston through IAA. I'm trying to determine if any water got into the battery pack without actually removing it. There are two covers on the bottom of the pack. On the driver's side there is an orange plastic air vent (I think). The other...

I have the same problem as Tracking above. Just bought a car in auction. Salvage title so Tesla won't sell me a new key fob. If I bring the car into their certified shop in Jacksonville (180 miles away) and pay a boatload of money, and if they decide to certify it, they will then sell me a key...
