@islandbay I have used a cloth covered putty knife; I would use the CC's as a fallback if I was out on the road with no tools. The car should have come with a red cap for the + post. At least mine came that way.
Daily? For?
I was thinking the same thing. In addition, what's the actual draw for a "jump start"? If it's small, you might be able to rig up 8 AA cells with a "cigarette lighter plug" and not have to fuss with removing the nose cone. At the least, a small 12V gell cell would probably do.Some portable 12V jump start batteries have a 12V plug outlet. I wonder if you could jump start the Tesla by plugging the 12V plug of the jump start battery into Tesla's 12V plug inside the car?
The USB ports are hot when the car is "off". Not sure if jumpstarting via that route is viable though.That will not work. When the car is "off", the 12v plug inside the vehicle is disabled (as in no voltage or connection to the battery). Once it is woken up, then it is turned on. So if the car will not power up, must be done through the nose cone.
