Yes, you got me, incel. I was stupid and didn't know what I was doing.

Tesla talked me in to the MCU2 upgrade, and it is a ripoff AFAIC. Cost/Benefit ratio is way off.

Wow, all these ppl getting the High Voltage inspection passed. That does not happen here in Lynnwood, WA. In fact they've failed me so bad, even as I'm an expert, that no Tesla-certified body shop will now touch it. They even bothered to disable both my key fobs. Death sentence and a major...

The above diagram is the best we have, altho it is not correct. There are two cover switches in the rear HVJB.

Yeah, redacted my link. Same Old S. I'm done on this forum.

Don't do that. Never dick with 400v. Check continuity on the -compressor-. (With at least orange wire disconnected) It should be close to zero. Chances are small that this is the problem. Then check continuity from either compressor HV contact to ground with a megaohm meter with -both-...

Yuh, that is what ItsNotAboutTheMoney (politely) said above. In future it is recommendable that you -read- and -understand- a thread so you have context before you post. I don't follow Bjorn or Tesla anymore because Idc. And no higher-income people care about Tesla anymore since the...

Yup, longtime Tesla VLogger Bjorn has (sensibly) moved to Mercedes, since Elon's lost his marbles.

Yep WizKid is one of the originals, and did his own work which is significant and impressive, although I'm working on another solution for my fscking brick. Idk if he even works on problems like mine. Back then we had -nothing- to go on and the few of us had to figure out everything ourselves...

Tesla is the first company to come up with all these 'pay to enable features', and now BMW has customers who want heated seats to buy an annual subscription to enable them, and Mercedes has you pay an annual subscription for rear-wheel steering, and another for a horsepower boost. In case it's...

Ford Wants Autonomous Cars to Impound Themselves From the article: GM and Stellantis have continually refused to comply with clear and decisive state Right to Repair laws, since 2012. Support Right to Repair by contacting your national representative about the REPAIR ACT (H.R. 906) and SMART...

That's dynamite. Let's see if anyone speaks up. I hope others get that benefit. But irrelevant to me and others in my position.

I talked at length about this with the Tesla Parts Dept. The adapter does come with... but as a separate and charged line item. Wouldn't you know, they break it out? And labor is na-ha-ha-hot included. I do believe though that SpectreFCO's kit comes with the Euro adapter, so those of us in...

Think you're pretty incisive there, eh Rocky_H? No, NOBODY made those changes. I've owned the car since it was wrecked very early in its life. Those changes were not made to my car. Do you think I was trying to trick you? Just to falsely impugn Tesla? No, Tesla LIED throughout my HV...

I can't believe that Tesla sold you a Restricted part. Assume you used a good VIN, but even so. The mod here who's a Tesla employee will surely look into that. For others there's a trustworthy guy selling the kit on eBat. But beware, most adapter plugs on eBat are for Europe, not the US. Ya...

TB2 beta is only good for MCU1 and the associated IC. It can not work on MCU2 or newer, and may not work on MCU1 with newer firmware, but I don't know for sure.

Are there limitations to what you can do with it? IOW is it a crippled "Customer Account" where you can't make changes to the gateway or reset serious errors?

Ok, but assuming the errors are caused by the car sitting idle for over a year, or maybe depleted freon, is it still possible to clear them with the subscription TBX? Will it allow me to mod the gateway to enable CCS1?

Also, is it possible to do a CCS retrofit with MCU2? Is it possible to root MCU2?

Overtemp seems to be a prior error as current errors are "Voltage low" if I remember correctly. Can I clear these errors with TB2? Where can I get TB2? Failing that is there a Tesla guru in the US PacificNW who can advise or where I can send the car? It says, "Won't charge. Needs Service"...

Have an 85D which has been down for a while. When I get in and hit the brake to start up, there's a knocking noise down by the brake pedal. I thought this might be a low 12v, but replaced the battery and still have it. Worse, it's not recognizing the key fob, even with a new battery in that...

Looks like it's beneficial to have this retrofit for those of us excommunicates for Salvage. 2015 P85D with MCU2 and Sc off. Would other fast charging be off as well? My SC is not friendly. Is there an independent operator I can send the car to for the 'software work'? Is the retrofit even...

Tesla service is revolting, especially considering the cost of the cars. They can't even recognize their own fscking wheel locks?! There is almost consistently negative feedback, and my experiences lately are every bit as bad. Luckily Porsche is developing an SUV based on Mission R, which...

Oh? Via CHAdeMO, or some other way? Please detail. 2015 P85D, MCU2.

His prob could also be the HVJB, which switches between direct DC and the chargers.

Why thank you, I will. Meanwhile, consider finishing that GED.

lol, Why thank you, I will. Meanwhile consider finishing that GED. (That's Idaho, pfff)

So the suit is almost drawn up. Seems that under WA Law, that Gross Negligence also applies. Tesla, Inc and Cameron Hino are defendants. I went to the Lynnwood dealership Friday... and the service advisors always covertly IM Service Manager Nick when I arrive, and so he kindly comes down with...

Ain't me. And if you do locate it, don't doxx me here. I keep it up as a courtesy.

Apologies to Mods. Thanks for clarifying SO16. MP3Mike I'd like to answer but can't blunt the upcoming action. It's why I've been so oblique, apologies. I've been expecting it to come to this. Although surprisingly the Lynnwood SC hasn't discovered this thread, Tesla knows about it. My...

Mods have deleted a reply to my most recent post. I would ask, Why? The reason is because a certain mod here works for Tesla. It's no secret. And I find that that D.E. et al have been trying furiously to get through to Tesla to warn them about me, to no avail since most channels are cut...

Cameron absolutely will not take a simple measure which I'd explained in detail to his boss, Service Manager Nick. This was all I asked -- it is something that's rigged so only they can do it, and it fell out of a mandatory Service Bulletin they'd done on the car, carelessly. Also they'd...

Impressive chunk of emotional and hyperbolic flaming there, D.E. You have invested alot of time and anger in that. But, -I-, am "lashing out"?! Remember, I am not your ex-husband. (Whew) It's a shame that your life is so evidently unhappy, but it is up to you to make the changes you don't want...

Oh darn, D.E. has given my posts multiple 👎. Now what am I going to do? I will hand over the domain and database to someone who can demonstrate that they can wrangle httpd, php, and mediawiki. It obviously needs some repairs now but I don't care anymore. I expect I will be taking legal...

dannycamps, I guess there are enough detailed complaints about service centers and I don't see any use in adding to them. It's tiresome. I'm a democratic socialist and have always hired staff exclusively from the DoC. These guys are almost without exception, damaged people, and recovering...

trayloader, those images are of a natural medical condition called 'microcephaly'. That happens to be Schlitze and Pepper. And that is what the new redesign of the S looks like to me. 1=1, these are just facts. I didn't use it disrespectfully in any way. They had a right to live and show...

I'm a developer and carry machines and equipment to my jobsites all the time. It's Monsoon Season here in the PacNW and my expensive equipment would be damaged. With a pickup in bad weather you're very light in the back and easily lose traction and spin out or get stuck. Also to me, pickups...

After many years following Tesla and in 2014 rebuilding a P85D, I've finally lost interest in Tesla after a terrible experience at the Lynnwood, WA Service Center. They are not honest. Yes, there's the Supercharger network, yes there's "self-driving". But I am just not feeling it anymore...

I've done a forum search but the link which comes up with this title "can't be found", lol. I have welded contactors and simply do not have time to do this work myself. Looking for a shop which can replace the contactors with inconel, in the Pacific Northwest. Anyone know?

Anyone know whether CHaDEMo DC charging works when S/C is disabled on a salvage? Used to be they were the same setting, but theyn absolutely shouldn't be.

My wiki is now back online, this time indefinitely. But I've gotta leave here.

I've upgraded the OS and security, but Ziply Fiber screwed me on internet access. I'm still tethering to phone for laptop but LAN is inaccesible. The wiki should be back up this weekend hopefully, as I get time. I'm about to leave this forum, but the wiki will remain up for a good while.

Studs can get damaged. But it's an easy fix if you can find the parts. Check with OReilly's, NAPA, Autozone. Take in a sample if it's not in their database, and they can match it up. They'll have the nuts too. Jack the car and prop with a stand. Remove the wheel, brake caliper(s) and...

{tap}{tap}{tap} Is this thing on?

Oh, do your research.

Man down!

Nonsense. Unless your hygiene habits leave something to be desired, or you've been sticking it in questionable places. I haven't had a wound get infected in 60 years, and there have been plenty, with no antobacterial treatment to all but major ones. Please use a washrag when you bathe...

No need to worry about that. Although there are lots of freeable ions in rat urine it can't compete with lithium. Maybe though when lithium gets too expensive? The good thing is a rat can reproduce 22 days after its born. Its gestation period is also 22 days, with about 12 ratlets being born...

That's not actually from the car at all. Rats often take up residence in the cavities and like to chew through wires because their teeth are always growing so they need to gnaw. But you knew that, being in St. Louie. What you've found is rat urine which can be colors ranging from transparent...

I was going to say, they won't help you with this. But why does the plate need to be on all the time? Check the Code. PS - Something like this is not an "investment". It's consumption.
