I acquired a salvage model 3 that unfortunately seems to have some electrical/battery problems. It's indicating that it's unable to charge to 100% and BMS_a064_SW_SOC_IMBALANCE. It's also in reduced power mode.
Any ideas on how and where i can get that repaired (I clearly can't do it)... Someone told me that it's not as straightforward as getting a new battery and putting it in as the car would need firmware and I would therefore need someone who can hack the model 3.
I did consider taking it to tesla, have the inspection done for the ~$500, and look to get a quote from them to fix, but the car can currently supercharge and doing the inspection will disable that is my understanding.
Yes, I understand these are all the challenges with having a salvage, told myself that and kicked myself a couple times already... so what I would love from the community instead are ideas on what next... thanks much
