I'm a DIY mechanic type guy. I like fixing things myself.
I got the message saying my Pyro Fuse has less than 6 months left to live.
Tesla quoted me about $340 for a new fuse, which isn't too bad.
Nonetheless, I ordered a self powered fused from ebay for about $50, a cable for about $19, and some high voltage gloves. Already have the multimeter necessary to check resistance as described in the service manual procedures.
I also found out that in Europe tesla will rent you Toolbox 3 access for 37 euros and hour. I wish they had the option in the US.
I'm from the US, but I think I can work out how to get it for the hour.
I've read some people's complaints about connecting to an MCU1 car (I've got a 2015 P85D).
I've heard that Toolbox 3 can be finicky about connecting to an MCU1 car, and if I'm renting the software for an hour I'd love any tips from those who have gotten it to work before.
Anybody have any tips so I don't burn my hour pulling my hair out about how to get the connection started? Once I've got Service Mode Plus going it should be a breeze, just getting there seems to be the challenge.
All tips are appreciated.
