Didn't Tesla make a change where anything older than 2019.40 would lose the ability to connect - something about a change to the VPN? I recall getting an email about this for my older Model S.

I have been driving a salvage model x 100d for the last 19 months that I repaired, the car is unsupported, no software updates or supercharging
a few months ago I took it to tesla to get the ccs2 retrofit installed, expecting them to say this cant be done. they fitted it and then it could ccs charge on third-party chargers! (but supercharging was still blocked) also after they were done installing the ccs upgrade, the car started to software update as well and has been receiving regular updates since!
a few days ago I noticed that the "trip planner (beta)" option reappeared under the navigation tab, this was previously not there, so I just went to the supercharger and it worked for the first time! it even auto-billed my card for the session. I'm not sure why this is, but now my car seems to do everything a normal tesla should apart from the warranty!
Has anyone experienced anything similar?

There were reports that salvage Model 3 cars were able to supercharge about a week ago, but that stopped working after a few days. Please check again, and let us know if it still works for you. If it does, I suggest
Rumor has it that it was an error when making some mothership-side changes that inadvertently ignored the "unsupported_vehicle" list (among other things)... which made teleforce's config consistency checks (the one that undoes softpack unlocks and such) start correcting configurations back to what they were supposed to originally be at purchase vs the supercharging disabled config... facepalm ...
Unfortunately they didn't miraculously grow a conscience and undo their unauthorized modifications to people's vehicles and start allowing salvages to supercharge. Would've been nice if that were the case, though.

might want to disable your updates ASAP while you still have supercharging capability..

it is still working, my car did just download a new software update, I'm too scared to install it now. ill update what happens if i do!
Bah, Ziply Fiber (ISP) screwed me when my ONT went out. I waited all day for the tech to show up and replace it, but they secretly tested it remotely looping back only the fiber section and not testing the RJ45 drivers, and secretly cancelled the service call. So I missed a full day working on my housing development, and fired Ziply. Bye. They were happy to see me go as I was on a grandfathered $40/mo plan. I regret it came to this but they'd cost me a-lot of money with that wasted day.
Signed up for T-Mobile's new home service and have been waiting for the wireless cylinder, which arrived yesterday. Should be back on the air shortly. No more teathering to phone.
There's a recent thread here somewhere where a guy is struggling with replacing his eMMC and my wiki would be a big help. He included a picture of his board and attempts to pull the data, but I can't find his post now.

On a completely off-topic point, I really am looking forward to T-Mo internet becoming available in my area. Right now, our only two non-satellite choices are FiOS and Atlantic Broadband. ABB is complete crap. I have FiOS but it is pricey for what I am getting.
Hm, I find .you can turn off its wifi (up to 12 SSIDs!), although this is intended to be the way you use it, but I did leave one channel on set to the lowest power in 5GHz with no broadcast, as a fallback. However ethernet connection has no web controls and does not seem to have internet access; and it's a private CIDR. I don't want/trust their wifi so will call tomorrow. I expected to use ethernet.
Ostensibly their connexion to the tower is 5G 700MHz which would normally be good, but I'm down a hill from the tower and have always had bad TMo service. This cylinder has two bars out of four. (inside a closet in a brick house) If it works out I'll grant it a window location. Or maybe inside a PVC pipe outside on the chimney.

Ahh! You are clearly some sort of wizard...I found the .img and laid it down...that allowed the successful redeploy...so...whatever ambrosia you are drinking...keep doing it!If I can ever help you sort out anything Rooter please...should you ever need spare parts lemme know as I more than likely can get some.
On another note though...that did not resolve the chime issue or the 048 das---in diagnostic mode for DAS it does throw out the RaddcCommissue...I did follow your documented instructions for calibrating the vertical of the Radar but it did not seem to have an effect. Is there an Odin equivalent on Model S' that would allow the calibration tasks per chance? I dug around the directories but did not find anything there...
Thank you a million for your time again!
My wiki is now back online, this time indefinitely.
But I've gotta leave here.

Hi all, repairing a Model 3 here. The car turns on but does not run, no charging etc. assume the pyrofuse has blown or needs resetting?
My main question is TOW MODE / TRANSPORT MODE. We’ve literally spent days trying to get the wheels to unlock so that we can roll the car off the truck (it was forklifted on originally).
What on earth are we doing wrong? It goes into tow mode, the steering wheel loosens and I can move the front tyres, but the rear tyres are lock shut, we’ve had a go trying to push this thing and the tyres definitely are not moving.
Does anyone know if there is anything else that would be locking the wheels in tow mode?
I should probably note that we are not able to change any gears at all ie. Putting into neutral

I'd guess the rear parking brakes are still engaged. Here is how to remove the servo on an S, don't know if the 3 is the same.
