Perhaps non-critical errors might be clearable. Real problems will require actual fixes. I thought TB2 was discontinued and you'll need TB3. The cost is $500 for one month of subscription. See: Tesla Service
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?

5 hundred? It was 3 just not so long ago :/
That's not good, just wonder if there is a chance for sharable account - at the end it is about to figure out the way how to proxy signed tokens by Tesla CA.
Do we have any specialist here in that field?

With an European Tesla account, you can also book it it on an hourly/daily basis.

I haven’t tested it but it might be possible, see the suggestion in the screenshot.
If you can get into service+ mode (different from service mode), you can unlock the gateway. But I doubt you have enough permissions to do that. There are several kinds of permissions associated to users in toolbox, and what you can do with it when you pay the subscription most likely is capped (when compared to what a SC guy can do).
 
I now have a t-can pro and full toolbox access. I'm happy to loan either out for a small fee.

Tcan works well for mcu2 hardware if it does what you need...it's a bit limited but does do some basic crash data resets and trouble code reading. Toolbox is reserved for mcu1 cars unless you have a way (or know a person) to root mcu2 but I haven't found a source for mcu2 root yet.
hello,
I'm in a need to reset crash data from suspension module on my tesla..most likely need a tcan pro? do you still have access to it?
 
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".

Also is there anyone who does CCS conversions?

Pre-facelift with MCU2.
Any update?

Do you know Where can i get TB2?
I have Fakra cable and now i looking for software
I have propably rooted Tesla Model S 90D 2017
and i want to connection it to Tesla Servers.
I wanna use Tesla App
I hear something about restore certs but im new used and i still learn.

My car is rooted n i have access thru Tesla app...
Either something else is wrong or the "rooter" didn't do good job on that car...
Try DM @samppa for TB2
 
I'll cross post here, maybe someone can help...

Anyone know how to send CAN commands to the car to erase BMS codes f123/w123?
I found posts with data to send but im not sure what hardware/software i need to do it
Also, can Toolbox v2 reset BMS codes?
so i ended up buying can adapter from amazon, DSD tech, that works with Cangaroo
i ended up not needing to clear w123/f123, it went away after i fixed the battery water ingress.

FYI, for anyone buying with any damage to battery case, make sure to check for cracks and/or umbrella valves/plugs n fix/seal those before u drive.
One broken plug almost costed me new battery, i got lucky n just dried everything n it works but its a lot of work to take apart n reseal the HV battery.
At least on X, u can remove the battery valves/plugs covers after removing rocker panels.
 
not following... elaborate please?
My carkeys expire Dec 2023, but it seems Tesla was issuing new certificates for my VIN while my car was in transport. I didn’t have connectivity for some months, and the old certs seem to have been partially revoked, so websocket services won’t work, but proxy services are ok. For instance, I get push notifications (you forgot the trunk open, etc), but I don’t get app access. (It keeps loading forever). I *might* see updates, I don’t know. And it is likely that the certificates cannot be renewed as they are right now, so I need a SC to copy new certs, but they say they won’t. They essentially want me to ship my car back to the US to do this.

Ford Wants Autonomous Cars to Impound Themselves

From the article:
The patent describes a variety of procedures for repossessing cars when payments are delinquent, including:
  • sending messages to the owner’s smartphone or the vehicle itself
  • locking drivers out of the car entirely
  • disabling functions like air conditioning
  • geofencing drivers to only operate within a certain time or set area
The system also includes enabling an autonomous car to drive itself to an impound lot or a junkyard if the car’s market value is determined to be below a certain threshold.

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 ACT (H.R. 1707) now, so that independent Tesla specialist can work on your car, for far less than the dealership.

I realize that many here are are under warranty, but this is about the future folks, and about fellow citizens in your country.


First they came for the Teslas,
... and I did not speak, because I do not own a Tesla.
Then they came for the BMWs, and I did not speak, because I do not own a BMW.
Then they came for the Mercedes', and I did not speak, for I do not own a Mercedes.
Now, they came for my Kia, and there is no one left to speak.

Tesla has no problems with you or anyone else doing repairs. The schematics and service manuals are free to anyone. Now some people are not qualified to do high-voltage repairs and for that reason, Tesla does have some small restrictions on select parts to reduce homeowners from killing themselves. Even those procedures for HV repairs are documented.

So I guess you have problems with all those other companies, but I don't think you should lump Tesla in with them - since anyone can do Tesla repairs.

There are already some independent shops that do Tesla repairs such as Gruber Motors, 057 Technology, and Electric Garage.

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 not clear... these cars come with these features, and they are built into the original purchase price. Do you think automakers are giving them away in hopes of volumes and volumes of lucrative subscriptions? Heh... This 'subscription' model is metastasizing. You don't own your car like you think you do. Like we used to do.

That's dynamite how you still support your company even after Musk has lost his marbles. Since you asked, let me explain to you why I've left Tesla for good. (Many other financially independent ppl have left them for a variety of reasons -- checked S and X sales lately?)

Recently the SC talked me into paying $2k to have the MCU1 and IC changed to an MCU2 and accompanying IC... and the car dropped dead two months later. Also at that same time I had the Service Center do a High Voltage Inspection ($700) in order to try and be recertified for SC repair and the supercharger network, since my car had a salvage title... but they flunked me claiming that the frame rail had non-factory rivets, and that it was not bonded in its socket. (WTF does that have to do with HV) Well I had never removed the frame rail from its socket so that was just a damned lie. This is the official Tesla Service Center I'm talking about.

Nevertheless I wanted to make it right. The car was down so I had it towed to all six of the area Tesla-certified body shops ($1,000) to have the 'problems' corrected, but as soon as they saw that High-Voltage inspection report they feared for their certification and refused to touch it. So I had it towed to another SC. Once they found that HV inspection report they gave me one day to tow it off their lot or they'll charge me storage fees! Wouldn't touch it at any price. All three area Tesla Service Centers refuse to accept it now. It was a Catch 22. A death sentence for the car. As a bonus they revoked the certificates for both my key fobs so they were not recognized by the car! These were intentional and vicious acts that turned my car ($145,000 new, loaded P85D) into a 5,500 pound brick.

Now tell me with a straight face that Electric Garage can fix that. Hell, I'm the founder and author of the former Unofficial Tesla Tech website and I was first to figure out and publish the flash fix, how to root the car, and how to fix many other problems and explain many theretofore mysteries. But I can not fix this and now I am done.

Lost all trust in those lying, cheating Tesla service centers. No more Teslas for me, ever. NO sir.

Are you glad you questioned me?
