Thanks Peter, I believe the BMBs went to the same slots, but I will double-check. I unplug and plug the service disconnect between each times I test a new BMB-position, I wish there was a better way. Not sure how many pulls the service disconnect plug can handle. I am still puzzled by the same...

I charged a 1.5 roadster via the BMB-boards since it had a "Critical low brick voltage message" and I could not get the pin code alarm to turn off. After charging for some days, I reconnected the correct BMB boards. The car reported that the same brick, brick #93 got both Vmin: 1.19V and Vmax...

The service disconnect plug is getting harder and harder to pull out (I still have thin arms so I don't have to remove the wheel and don't use plier, but have to pull with my hand several times with full power to get it out). Is there a way to make it slide more easy?

Very helpful.What is the purpose of the 8-pin and 12-pin connectors on the BMB boards? Could any of you that has made a BMB-card please post a picture and/or provide some description? "Every one of the three bricked packs I have seen had bad cells that got hot when charged." I wonder why the...

Thanks, yes overcharge is dangerous. I posted some pictures in this post. I hope someone on the forum can explain if there is a way to monitor the voltage of each brick using the connectors that are available (see picture)?

I am looking for a tecnichal description on how to manually charge a bricked Roadster without removing the battery from the car. Tesla service is not an alternative, I know that Gruber offers such a service but they are not near and I would like to know how it is done. I tried to open the small...

In case I have to charge the battery manually in the future, is it explained somewhere? Most important, where to connect the charger/power source to the battery terminals? Remove the Service Disconnect plug and put the charger terminals where the plug was positioned? Or can it be done inside...

Thank you. I forgot the picture. Yes, the lever (see inside blue line) is loose (it can be removed).

I have very thin arms and if you disconnect the thing that holds up the trunk I have no problem reacing it. You need to remove a "metal clip" to disconnect it. The outer part (see inside blue line in picture) of the service disconnect plug fell off and could be broken (I didn't break it...

It definitely helped, no more BSM Contractor failure message. I am very grateful for the help. Stupid of me not to connect it properly, I heard a click and since it is so hard to pull it out I didn't bother pushing the lever in position.

I see, what is the voltage limit? I don't understand the sentence about 6C. I find it strange that it shows this BMS Contractor failure error message, it should display a "too low voltage to charge battery" message. I tried charging after heating the car as described in my previous post, lowest...

When a brick is 2.5 volts the battery capacity shows 0 % and there is a message to carge immediately. Driving the car not an option unfortunately, which makes this difficult. I have put fans that blow warm air (4-5 kW) under the car and put a outdoor Model S cover on top of the car to try to...

PLEASE HELP, MY CAR MAY SOON BE BRICKED! I have this problem with a 1.5. The lowest brick is 2.5 volts so I guess the car will be bricked if I don't do something smart. It is -5 degrees C outside. I took the service disconnect and got the battery heated to 8 degrees C (lowest brick), but it...

I remember it was not possible to order executive seats with backwards facing seats option (at least in Europe). I have the opposite question, is it possible to replace the executive seats with standard seats? If yes, does anyone in Europe want to trade or sell seats, color of the executive...

Could you please explain this? I locked my only key inside the Roadster and got a company (AAA-like probably) to open the car. I told them several times that I did not want any damage of the car and they had to just cancel the operation if there was a chance for damage. They pushed the door...

Would be interesting to see some examples on that. I see in the PEM Failure thread that Tesla can replace fuses in the PEM. But if the problem is not the fuses, is the repair cost still ~10 000 USD?

Tesla prices for new cars are really low in the UK now compared to other countries because of the value of the Pound. Tesla plan to increase prices January 15. If I knew someone in the UK that could order a EU-spec (LHD) for me before January 15, I would get a new car with autopilot 2.0.

Interesting, I would appreciate if anyone could share their minimum/mean/maximum voltage during acceleration (easily seen on service screen). I am quite sure it will not be as high as 3.7 Volts. Please also report temperature of battery.

Yes, there is no tax here in Norway. And quite a few Model S and Model X for sale now, both brand new and used cars. I have experience with exporting Tesla from Norway, send me a PM if you are serious about buying a car and need assistance.

I didn't check, but the car was turned off (service disconnect disconnected) right before I tested so it must have been cold. I will check the PEM temperature next time I test this car. The PEM of this car has never gotten warm. What does "goes amber" mean? The time spent at that voltage was...

My front brakes rattle, but not only for high speed. Try to push your brake gently. If that remove the rattle, the reason is the brakes.

When the battery gets low on charge the Roadster gives a "Reduced power" notification. But recently I got reduced power without this warning. When this happened today, the battery charge was around 50 % (but the battery was -4 C cold, and -8 C ambient temperature). When I noticed this before...

Thanks for pointing this out. I thought I had a sense of details, but obvously not. The tires on the rear wheels are Nokian Hakka Blue, and they don't seem to be marked for direction so I guess the easiest would be to swap those. Then I end up with backwards wheels. The front wheels were...

This worked, thanks!

But you risk locking yourself out from the car... I just did this and noticed that I was not able to use the keys FOB to unlock the car. So I had to open it from below the door to get inside. When I went out from the car I forgot to take out the keys so now I cannot get inside again. I am...

Thanks a lot, if you are not aware of any other, then there is no other :) Thanks to an earlier post in this forum, I did know that the white Brabus VP18 started out as red. I have a red Roadster already and I do like the white paint, but not sure if I want to drive it in the snow, suspecting...

I did the whiteout. Under the whiteout you find the name of person that was the first owner, an EV enthusiast from Iceland. You are right about the wheels, they are neither orignal Tesla nor Brabus. The orignal wheels were sold (monoblock so probably expensive) or damaged I guess. Suggestions...

:) Actually one of the seven speakers doesn't seem to work. But although he is very good, I doubt it was caused by him.

As I mentioned in an earlier thread I managed to have a non-working PEM fixed. The person I have to thank the most is Asle Kvernmark which is highly experienced with electronics. He has been developing high-end audio amplifiers under the brand name Adyton, and told me it was luck that he has...

VP18, Brabus Roadster. 12 may 2008 produced in Hethel, UK. It is claimed and written on the manual (se picture) "First Tesla in Europe". Is this the first Tesla in Europe? To me it seem like an american 1.5 Roadster although it is produced in UK. Is this the only white paint Brabus Roadster...

I remove it several times a week since it is the only way to get the car to sleep. Remove the pole that holds the lid up on the driver side by removing a metal clip. Then you need a person with a thin arm to remove the orange service plug. Luckily I am such a person Not sure if pole and lid is...

Found the problem. Was a small hole in the "metal hose" that goes to the right front wheel, so there was a leak making it impossible to build enough pressure. There has probably been some tear since I drive with smaller winterwheels (15" instead of 16"), so my fault. Now I need to wait until...

Thanks for the replies. Excuse my poor communication. "I can now push the brake all the way and nothing happens, no braking." was supposed to mean that there is no pressure building while the pedal is pushed all the way to the floor :) It is not "ice mode". The brake fluid was changed about a...

Forgot to write that I will of course call Tesla Service when they open...

I just washed my Roadster 2.0 and tried to brake hard afterwards to make sure the brake discs would not get rusty before parking the car. I could not activate the ABS so I braked very hard to try to activate, without success. But I managed to totally disable the braking function. I can now push...

Is this rattle noise only a problem for on the front brake pads? Are the brake pad buffer mentioned above really needed? I now have the same noise from the front brake pads (at least it sounds like that). I particpated when the rear brake pads were installed and we used the "red goo". That was...

Or instead of taking the power from main battery sheet/bricks, does the BPS take its power from DC-DC converter (400 volts to 12 volts)?

When BPS is running, which bricks does it take its power from? I ask about a Roadster 2.0 that has a 12 volts battery, not a Roadster 1.5. I have problem with brick #28 never reaching the same voltage as the other bricks when the car is charged, even if the car is plugged in and has been...

Thanks for asking. Yes, it is available. Tesla Motors gave it yearly service a few weeks ago.

It is correct that we don't pay VAT but the 19% duty is wrong, first add 10 % EU tax and then add 25 % VAT. The formula is: PRICE_IN_DENMARK = PRICE_IN_NORWAY*1.1*1.25 I think it is possible to somehow avoid the 10 % EU tax, I suspect some has done that using a COC, it is not legal and I don't...

I found a service log from two years ago that was recorded because the car would not charge: Pulled log, isolation faults and sheet fault on battery. Controlled for isolation fault, out/in with PEM. No faults found. Did a test on the battery via PC, fault on sheet 8. Looking through some old...

Thanks, but this Roadster does not have a 12 volts battery since it is a 1.5.

Thanks, here are more pictures and files from some days ago and yesterday including logfile: Dropbox - Brabus-Technical Feedback is highly appreciated. Here is a dump from yesterday that shows cell voltage difference: And here is picture of the APS as was mentioned by spaceballs could be a...

Thanks for the replies. Could you please give some examples on what is in terrible state? Yes, the owner is willing to sell.

Thanks for all the help, I googled Tesla Roadster Brabus and did not find many positive comments about Brabus-converted Roadsters.... I have taken more pictures, please have a look and decide yourself: Dropbox - PicsEtc There are also pictures of the touchscreen with battery status, etc. I can...

"Battery bleed scan failure" is sometimes, not always, displayed a second or two WHEN STARTING the Roadster. It is a very early 1.5 Roadster. Sometimes this error message is displayed after a while: "Battery service required" ID: 7 Anyone experienced this? Tesla service claims the battery...

Thank you for the price estimates. What would it be for the earlier Roadsters, like VP? And what if the Roadster is modified, like BRABUS?

It is claimed that VP18 has a 240 kW motor which is more powerful that the standard and sport motors, could this be true? If this is the case, could the new 3.0 battery upgrade be able to take advantage of this? In case of an update to the VP listing, I can confirm that VP18 is converted to...

I have some comments based on my experience repairing a PEM in a Roadster I owned before. I might have posted something similar to this before, sorry. What does Tesla charge? If there is any damage of a PEM, Tesla charges the owner the amount of purchasing a brand new PEM, in addition they...

Tesla Roadster 2.0 Radiant Red Carbon iterior Tesla Roadster 2.0 #663 for sale. This car was imported from the US to Norway in 2011 and is kept and driven in cold climate which is excellent for battery. Full VIN is 5YJRE1A15A1000663, google that for information. Since the drop in oil price...
