Happy to.

Salvage cars are another thing entirely. My impression nowadays is that Tesla service employees these days are both lazy (minimum possible to get you out of the way) and scared to death (won't do anything outside of what they're explicitly supposed to be doing for fear of their jobs). So...

No they won't do all that. Worst case they'll mark the pack as third party equipment and make you sign a waiver before they work on the car. It's not salvage or unsupported, so you lose nothing.

Sorry to hear. At 30k+ miles since install there's nothing 057 could technically cover regardless of current circumstances, unfortunately. Although, by the errors posted, it looks like a relatively simple fix with a competent shop. (Likely just swapping one to 3 PCBs inside the pack, reseal...

Updated with pics. Here's a link to a bunch: https://timmybox.com/d/5a9e341982c9429b9326/?p=%2F&mode=grid

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing Tesla Model S 100D, FUSC. Please add to the discussion here.

Struggle continues.

Sadly, this is a quite well confirmed incorrect interpretation of the service plan terms (all versions). 057 always had the ability to activate the plan. If you want to get into the nitty gritty of it, the Battery Monitoring Device in the case of one not being explicitly shipped? Your...

The ability to contact someone does not in any way imply that I've promised to do so. While there would clearly need to be some coordination there eventually to get customer info, these arrangements were not anything to do with either 057. I choose my words carefully. That's generally a good...

I've always done what I'm able to do for the people I've dealt with, professionally and personally... even when it's directly contrary to my own interests at times. If that's not enough to please the mob, then there's quite literally nothing I can do about it. That saddens me, but I know I've...

You must be a modern "journalist", since that cherry picking is top notch! For those following along, after that quoted portion, I went on to explain how despite that being the case I still was (and am) doing what I could to look out for the people 057 had done business with. But of course...

Here I go again, feeding the trolls. It's just absolutely amazing to me how people spin conspiracy theories and start making completely false claims about someone, their motives, and intentions based on basically nothing. Seeing how easily a couple of people can make a mountain out of a mole...

Yep, looks pretty similar to the one I ran across. Insane.

Cool that Tesla is allowing some log history decoding now. Curious if you guys ever ran into any of the cars that have had a third party BMS Reset Device installed on them yet? It's Definitely the most extreme version of the reset scam I've ever seen, mainly because it takes the BMS some real...

Need to upgrade a bunch of stuff and upgrade to a 100 pack to do 250 kW charging on older S/X. Even then there's still some bottlenecks. For example, my very early 2016 X (VIN 2k) has all the possible hacks for this without going into potentially unsafe territory, including an upgrade to a 100...

Strange. I get DMs here regularly. I've not touched these settings in years. I'd be quite curious if something has been done to mess up my DMs. I don't control this site. I did change twitter to "Verified" some time ago because the amount of spam I get on Twitter is immense. My email is...

For the record, I've received zero DM's, emails, PMs, etc here or elsewhere regarding this since my post above 10 days ago. In fact, the last DM about anything service plan related was in September it looks like. (Popping in now from an unrelated DM notification, and it reminded me of the...

You've been continuously and directly telling people to sue 057 based on false accusations. You've made sarcastic comments that just openly suggest that I personally am a liar. You are now backpedaling and saying it's "someone" involved and they're "responsible" for something horrible enough...

The only people here who are likely to have any contact with my attorney are the ones who appear intent on openly publishing libel on this forum. I've not swindled anyone. And to the best of my knowledge, no one else involved in anything with 057 has swindled anyone either. To the best of my...

Seems you're right. No one ever removed my ssh key from the VM the site is hosted on. Since no one else was following through with the requirement to remove my personal info, yes I went ahead removed links to my personal stuff once I saw my credentials hadn't been removed after alerting those...

And this is why I probably shouldn't have even bothered. Damned if I do, damned if I don't. Best of luck.

I had written a long verbose post, as is my style, defending the service plan program... because it does bother me that people are trying to make out something that I put a lot of work into out to be some kind of scam when it clearly never was.... but, I'm not going to bother. It's just not my...

"Our" as in, speaking from/for the company. ChatGPT, take it away: When someone uses "our" in the context of referring to something a company offers, it doesn't necessarily imply that the speaker is personally offering the product or service along with the company. Instead, "our" is often used...

This makes no sense whatsoever. That's like saying you bought a Tesla because you believe in Musk's vision, and had been pushing for people to buy Teslas... and when he eventually leaves the company you're like, "You turned your back on everybody that purchased a Tesla based on your...

It was not. Had nothing to do with anything technical like that. The entire company was 100% onboard with deferring to my judgement and expertise on those types of matters. As in, no "resets" or other such fake repair garbage. Again, was a personal decision entirely on principle, and I will...

Keep in mind this account was a paid vendor account (ie, company account of 057 Tech) up until only a couple of weeks ago when I discussed the situation a bit with TMC admins. I won't get into the exact details of the arrangement on this. Again, where I work, what companies I run or don't run...

Some time based contractual stuff was confirmed no longer enforceable after the new year. --- To the extended service plan folks, a few things: First off, 057 never sold "warranties". There's a huge difference between a warranty and a service plan. Service plans are backed by the company...

As far as I'm aware points for public contact remain the same. If people want to do dumb things, that's on them. I'm not going to help people do dumb things. Nothing whatsoever to do with being "scared." :rolleyes: If other people/companies want the liability of scamming people with such...

Bunch of reasons. Not the least of which is that I don't think people should be resetting BMS's. Also, the pool of suspects for such a "leak" would be quite small, so I'll pass. ☝️ I mean, the prices on the website were pretty much made up and never updated. Don't think anything except...

They opened a new company. I honestly don't know the exact details, and am being cautious with disclosing the little info I do have. I've had virtually nothing to do with 057 since the summer. Last I knew people were still getting service (some support requests even being replied to by my own...

Definitely not getting into the nitty gritty legal stuff here. Suffice it to say, just because one party breaches an aspect of a contract it doesn't automatically give the other party free reign to ignore it with impunity. If you don't know that I'd suggest researching some basic contract law...

I sold 100% of 057 Tech early in 2023 to a partnership lead by a long time customer who supported the vision and, frankly, has deeper pockets than I for getting more things off the ground and out of development. I stayed on for engineering as an employee, and I unfortunately later completely...

I've directly sourced data on nearly 50 vehicles where third parties have attempted module swaps to fix Model S's, and data from a... source... on an additional ~110. The long term success rate of those is exactly as expected: 0%. There was a contender for a little while that kept that number...

Module swaps never work. At one point half the cars in the 057 shop with battery issues were there because some other company/person tried a module swap "repair." I eventually just stopped accepting them because people who don't know what they're doing when opening up the battery make the work...

(Note: Not a personal post.) The terms have always been quite clear on all of this. If a customer is unhappy with the service plan, the only remedy is to cancel it. Also, it's always been a service plan, not insurance. As for folks claiming they've not received service, the "ESP Requests"...

*looks at wallet* Nope. :rolleyes:

It's always been faster and safer to deal with HV batteries without using a lift, believe it or not. Especially with inoperable cars. Lift has only really been good for motor swaps, tire/wheel stuff, etc. Oh right...🐘... Thanks to everyone for the their thoughts and concerns about my...

Was down for about 24 hrs while the server was physically transported. Should be back.

BMS_w035 is almost never a battery pack issue. Not sure why no one has responded with that info. We use the BMD to determine when possible, but we can't always see what the source of an external isolation issue is. When the BMD isn't available, we usually want to see something other than an...

Lots of work and lots of changes. My time has been extremely limited. There's actually nothing unhandled in the ESP work queue at the moment, and I don't see any unanswered ESP requests when skimming through tickets. As of right now, no one who requires service under the ESP is unhandled as far...

Quickbooks backend integration is borked at the moment.

Lots going on. Some good things, some not great things. Frontline support is stretched thin at the moment and we're just not getting to all calls/emails. Will post an update soon.

We've stopped offering it for the moment. We don't have the labor bandwidth for it right now unfortunately.

Yeah, if a line bursts you still have some brakes. I believe it's front right and rear left paired and front left and rear right, actually. I suppose, but seems highly unlikely. That'd be an insane failure. It'd also be incredibly messy any obvious. And you're right, would be incredibly...

Unfortunately the scenario, as described, is a work of fiction. There's no reality where things could have occurred as outlined here. Again, if you hit the brake, the car would have slowed/stopped. You did not. You may think you did. May even firmly believe you did. Dare even say you know...

Our webserver crashed about a week ago. A 4x drive RAID1 failure... 😖... one drive failed, then a faulty controller decided to corrupt everything. Remember, RAID is not a backup solution! So restored everything from backups to a temporary VM within a few hours. Replacement server should be up...

This is technically an ongoing bet, but in fairness everyone who's taken me up on it I've never held to paying me. It's effectively impossible for me to lose the bet because it's impossible for SUA to actually happen. I recently debunked this on Twitter.
