    Pull on incidence of replacing either lower compression bushing or front upper control arm (ball joint noise)

    I hope MPP can make replacement rubber compression rod bushings, as well as replacement rubber lower control arm bushings for those who just want functional parts without having to buy new arms or sacrifice NVH

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    You’re right that they aren’t available for purchase separately. The only way to get new ones is to buy an entire new lower control arm ($175+tax per side). Fortunately in my situation, my brother traded the OE lower control arm bushings off his brand new P3D with my unwanted MPP lower control...

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    I had the MPP front lower control arm bushings, compression rod inserts, and rear camber arms installed with the comfort coilovers at AutoRnD in Fremont, CA for my 2018 P3D. I also replaced the FUCA with new OE ones. I found that the bearings and solid bushings produced enough of a noise...

    Just wanted to chime in here as well. On my Braille LiFeO4 with no BMS, I also haven’t gotten any background VCFRONT_a180 errors with recent updates. I don’t know which specific version for which it stopped (i stopped paying attention until recently and am currently on 2022.4.8). It used to be...

    Absent the hard warnings, I would have left the battery on there longer to see what would happen, especially since I’ve seen it linger in the 13V range for a 4 hr drive before charging kicked in again. Also, it’s not clear to me why the graph would generate the hard warnings that triggered the...

    Got another soft error yesterday, again on the downward edge. I can say with 100% certainty now that every time there’s that dip in the waveform (circled in red), I’ll get a VCFRONT_a180 error

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    Based on the Contact Info here (Contact Us), they seem to be affiliated with Hansshow, who sells the automatic frunk/trunk kits, among other Tesla mods. Based on the address, these would likely be shipped from China

    Longer term Ohmmu experiences?

    I didn’t get any errors yesterday either, but my graphs are incomplete because I pulled the 12V battery cables to reinstall my automatic frunk, and I did a capacity test to confirm if the battery could still perform. I hooked up this electronic load tester I got on Amazon and monitored the...

    I believe this is critical, as it’ll help identify the problematic waveform/behavior that’s triggering the error. Based on what we’ve seen so far with waveforms, my hypothesis is it’s a transient downward voltage spike. I wonder if they intentionally present the battery with a large, short...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    I tried to use the CC (a no foreign transaction fee CC) information on my US Tesla account on the Korean Tesla website (I logged in with my Tesla credentials to proceed to checkout), and it kept getting declined because of a "currency is not accepted by payment provider" (no attempts were...

    Oh no, Harumio is all out of stock on the CCS adapters :oops:

    it seems my car decided to use a different charging profile yesterday. It’s interesting because it went straight up to 14.2V and on the falling edge, there isn’t much of a transient response (as compared to previous graphs where voltage would dip down and come back up). Also, it looks like...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    From now on, I'm going to start posting photos of my car charging at CCS stations to build awareness that Teslas support the standard. Here are a couple from my weekend road trip to the Sierra Nevada. Cruisers | PlugShare https://www.plugshare.com/location/190892

    I'm on 2022.16.3. Overall, it looks to me that the charging behavior has improved in that it's not overcharging as much, and the charging kicks back in when the 12V lithium is at a typical "time to recharge" SoC.

    Before the dip to 12.85: the high was at 13.95 for 1hr, then 13.56 for 12min before going back to 13.95 for 2min, then down to 13.05 for 12min, then up to 13.12 for 10min. I got another soft error yesterday at where the cursor is shown. It was at 13.92 for 12min before the error. The ramp is...

    Longer term Ohmmu experiences?

    I think the smoother graphs are a result of the car deciding not to charge the 12V battery because the voltage is high (13.1-13.3V). Yesterday it started charging after I parked the car, and the voltage dropped down to 12.93V (~25% SoC). Then when it stopped charging, it threw the soft...

    @Dysan911 are you comfortable with continuing to drive the car with the recurring soft VCFront_a180 alerts? I have a long road trip coming up and I'm debating whether to switch back to the OE lead acid because I'm not sure if these alerts will escalate to the point where the car is disabled.

    I didn’t catch any of this because I was scrutinizing the voltage behavior only in the first few months after I installed the Braille battery, so this is essentially December 2018 through March 2019. I only reinstalled the voltage monitoring device after the recent warning messages. With that...

    I would imagine that at this point, anything that doesn’t behave like a lead acid will throw the VCFRONT error codes. I’m also curious about the new Antigravity 51R battery and the extent of the compatibility testing they have done. When i just got the battery, I was constantly monitoring...

    Yes, but I can see where they are coming from, where they are serving a niche market focused primarily on short term performance. They were the only "race proven" option when I made the purchase. In practice, the above corner cases do happen, and the probabilities of those occurrences need to be...

    Yes, as their stance has been that the car itself won't over charge/discharge, and the reliability of the BMS electronics are usually the limiting factor to the battery service longevity.

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    Just here to say that I successfully used the wiring adapter from 2muchsun and a Gen4 ECU which I got from the Santa Clara, CA service center (after scheduling a service appointment for "other" and requesting to purchase the part number) to upgrade my 2018 Model 3 Performance to support CCS...

    Hopefully this engineer wasn't impacted in recent layoffs, since it seems excessive to have a dedicated headcount to optimize a legacy configuration, especially as cars are starting to fall out of warranty coverage. I have been using a Braille 24AH G30HD lithium battery (which doesn't have...

    Ohmmu 12V Battery Feedback

    The below waveforms are what I have been observing on my Braille battery, and perhaps show the background VCFRONT_a180 errors as being side effects of some testing/characterization that the car is doing. Are you all observing something similar? Here's a voltage waveform with the cursor at the...

    Ohmmu 12V Battery Feedback

    Although I'm using a different lithium battery, I believe the VCFRONT_a180 errors I have been seeing recently (one or two popped up as active errors, while the vast majority occur passively and sporadically in the notifications section) may be related. I have been running the Braille G30HD...
