Signed up and looking forward to receiving the BMD. FWIW, my confidence in you comes from reading your posts for 8 years.

Jason, if you ever decide to sell a splitter cable, let me know. I currently have comma.ai openpilot Using the OBD port, but future versions will use the diag port. Given that I bought your service contract, the diag port is for your battery monitoring dongle. Also, having a splitter might make it easier to hide your dongle from Tesla’s SC staff when going for service. I have heard stories of them removing items.Awesome!
At the moment the BMD will take up the connector needed by whatever CAN reader you're using. You'd have to fabricate a splitter of some kind to still use that setup.
That said, I'm adding more and more to the BMD dashboard, and have plans to update the BMD to be able to emulate a bluetooth device like one used by SMT and other 3rd party apps.
Not likely. I honestly don't know how anyone affords to run a business out that way. It's insanely expensive.
If we did do a west coast facility, the prices would easily be 3x what they are now... which isn't practical.
That said, there is a shop out that way that we do business with quite a bit, and depending on the situation may be able to outsource some service to them to save on transport... but no guarantees there.
Awesome!I am very very interested and signed up. Hopefully this still comes out to be cheaper than going to like Electrified Garage to get a battery replacement.
Do you cover Drive Unit replacements too?

@wk057 is this the port your BMD needs to plug into or is it the actual OBD2 port just above the drivers left foot?
Shoot over your VIN to contact@ or our Contact page (can also just PM me here if desired), and if possible your service invoice from Tesla, and we'll update our database accordingly. That's mainly there to cover folks that got 3rd party replacements, as most other shops haven't a clue.I’m interested. I see in the T&Cs:
Vehicles with non-original High Voltage Battery Packs, refurbished High Voltage Battery Packs, and High Voltage Battery Packs with labeled capacities differing from the vehicle's original trim are not automatically covered, but can be covered upon request and at 057 Technology's sole discretion.
My 85 was replaced by tesla with a refurbed 90, so how do I coordinate?
Hello wk057, great work
Could you specify the "maximum charge level reduced" error which occurs more and more often, what happens inside these Packs?
Why seem only the 60/70/85 type Packs to be affected?
I think there are way more possible faults than only imbalance Problems.
With older software Versions some Model S shut down
at 4% SOC. What caused this Problem? How did Tesla fix it? Didn't read about this kind of shutdown Failure since 2 Years or so.
im very curious about "a bit" more detail about the BMD. Yes i did read the FAQs and you wont get into specific Detail, i can understand this.
Maybe you can give us some "teaser" what the Device is monitoring.
- Cell imbalance at different temps
- temp differences while driving (internal resistance?)
- Cell imlalance at low/high power Output
- Cell imbalance at low/high SOC
- Cell imbalance while charging/supercharging
- With the information of BMD, is it possible to "predict" the remaining Life of the Battery?
- With "noob" tools like Scanmytesla, what are the relevant parameters to look for if us "Noobs" want to check out batteries?
- I got the feeling that the Power and Regen Limit is getting more and more sensitive as the Car ages. Why is that?
there are many types of 85 Packs (1014114-00-D; 1014114-00-B; 1025273-0X-D; 1055519-00-A....)
From your experience are some packs more often failing than others?
Are there Packs with Failures from Coolant Leakage inside the Pack?
What is the most common failing reason?
What would be really cool is the ability to have bi-directional charging on our Tesla's. Many manufacturers are doing this, Tesla doesn't seem interested in it as of yet. Some aftermarket gadget and possible mods to enable the ability to power the house from my Model S during an outage would be highly desirable. Have you had any thoughts of doing this? With either your custom pack or from the OEM Tesla one?Our work with the Tesla BMS is a key element to some current products (such as this service plan w/BMD product) and upcoming products (custom pack)
Watch the "debunked" video on that page. The Model 3 charger (at least at that time) is not bidirectional. Shame on Electrek for keeping that clickbait article up, without a clear retraction.What would be really cool is the ability to have bi-directional charging on our Tesla's.

Edit: I stand corrected: looks like Tesla have been thinking of implementing it Tesla quietly adds bidirectional charging capability for game-changing new features [Updated]

Note the update to the article: The hardware does not actually support bidirectional power flow. Little irritating that the headline wasn't updated to reflect that, but, you know... clicks and all.Edit: I stand corrected: looks like Tesla have been thinking of implementing it Tesla quietly adds bidirectional charging capability for game-changing new features [Updated]
Updates:
Had someone try to exploit/scrape/DoS our order system sometime last night... annoying, but no actual harm done (automated bans). Apparently someone really wants out VIN data.
First Model X BMD batch is almost already sold out ... we've got rolling production builds in, but they're relatively small batches and there was a hair more demand there than anticipated!
We also ran out of S BMDs, and prioritized the oldest vehicles roughly in order of payments received. Next batch is in QA so should be caught up there.
Turns out the actual service plan tab in the account management area isn't presently updating due to a database access issue. We moved the actual BMD gateway to another location with more reliable connectivity before we ended our internal beta, and no one ever realized there was any backend to customer front end issue there. Things are working fine on the backend and internal management stuff, just there's just zero feedback on the customer front end at the moment. My beta testers were not as attentive as they claimed to be! Will work on that.
Finally, we actually already have our first non-beta replacement service scheduled under the service plan for a 2013 S. BMD qualified the pack initially, but over the course of the first week predicted a failure, and we notified them. Over the weekend they got a "maximum charge level reduced" error. The customer was actually pretty surprised. We've got vehicle transport setup for them and should have them back up and running within a couple weeks.
Overall hasn't been the absolute smoothest launch that I would have liked, but no major issues!
To that end, as a thanks to everyone who's signed up during this early launch period, as well as anyone who signs up this week, I'm going to extend everyone's plan time by 30 days (so, 25 months total) in the system. Not going to really advertise this, but it'll show in the account manager once that's fixed up.
Thanks everyone for the feedback!
Didn't they see the warning?Updates:
