    Battery Error - "Sheet 9"

    One of our customer's Roadster had a fatal battery error (car would not turn on). I forgot the numerical value of the error code, but the nomenclature was "Sheet 9", which I assume to be the 9th sheet of 9 sheets of cells in the battery pack. Of course, the car was locked in Park, so we got a...

    Cleaning the vehicle charge port pins

    I recently cleaned some of the power pins on a Tesla charge inlet, and I was astonished at how filthy they were. There is at least some chance that dirty pins could negatively affect the ability to charge or affect the charge rate in an adverse way. The power pins have both internal and external...

    Supercharger station 135kW vs 120kW architecture

    Ok, a thought just popped in my mind. As we know, the Supercharger is 12 of the 10kW chargers that are onboard your car. Tesla gets 120kW because they have 4 of the 10kW chargers on each of three 277 volts circuits (480 volt three phase). If those chargers individually pulled 40 amps at 250...
