Car is dead after unplugging at supercharger
- Thread starter airborne spoon
- Start date
Both of them, haven't decided yet. They both have nearly identical pricing and when it comes to the distance it's also close enough to be the same.
Leaning towards ponderosa though
I was leaning on the uhaul auto transport but **** it I can ask never thought of it
This is very helpful. And I assume Diagnostic mode pulls this from the BMS and that the BMS is in the pack. So that the limit percentage moves with the battery pack, correct?

@airborne spoon Sorry to hear that and I'm quite shocked as I supposed the 100s to be more robust... Mine has done +-30kkm since the upgrade and so far so good... Also really surprised Tesla is talking to you! I wouldn't go there with my 100 upgraded car 
Nevertheless I totally got your point in claiming an AP1 with FUSC car to be the best... I'm on the same boat, so keeping the car to survive as long as possible
Nevertheless I totally got your point in claiming an AP1 with FUSC car to be the best... I'm on the same boat, so keeping the car to survive as long as possible @airborne spoon tesla considers information as valuable. if Tesla can pull records beyond 3 years then they can also grab battery build information. by this I mean all build information of the car it originally installed in. with their influence at the salvage auctions they can track when and who bought the salvage car. the first 100kw packs were installed in p models about 7-2016. it's also easy enough to date code the pack serial number. while at times the argument you are using has been known to work, this isn't 1 of them. imho it's better not to poke the bear. hopefully you can get the car fixed at 1 of the 2 shops you are looking into.
Had a guy look remotely at the car via toolbox, here is the gist of it.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, and redeploy firmware.)
No way to predict that type of failure, and wouldn't have anything to do with anything 057 did or didn't do. Just bad luck.
Definitely do NOT let Tesla give you a refurb 85. They're all garbage.
And if you give up the 100, make sure they give you a proper core credit. If you downgrade to an 85 it should cost less.
So the fault is indicating an open circuit in the hv system so we could be dealing with a broken wire bond. The voltage differential was 1.36 volts that’s pretty extreme. Without any other symptoms leading up to it and as long as the battery isn’t trying to drain itself I’d suspect a broken wire bond or a failed BMB board at a module. But I cannot view live hv cell data remotely and without being able to see individually cell data I won’t know for sure. I don’t believe it is going to be a major repair.
I seem to remember reading something you posted about tesla banning 1 of your cars. it was to the level that you couldn't get updates without capturing the update from I think another car and editing the code for your car to accept.Sorry to hear.

I think this situation is a little different but my take is tesla or it's employees can do things you might not expect. I also remember a story about the threat of free premium connectivity being disabled if tesla can't push updates to your car after a period of time

I haven't heard such a thing but it might be due to certs
Few ppl said that if car is disconnected from internet for a while (1-2yrs?..) certs don't update n u won't have connection to anything anymore
My rooted MCU hasn't updated since Aug 2022, still rocking Premium connectivity but my certs are updating
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, pretty unlikely nowaways.
Never heard of this either. I know of salvage cars that have been intentionally disconnected from Tesla nearly a decade ago that still have premium connectivity.
The guy I'm gonna take my car to is asking if you opened the packs as part of your process or if you just took straight 100 packs and put them in after getting them from wherever.
I'm assuming you opened them up to check each module to verify everything was straight, but he's curious.

I use AAA to take my car/motorcycle to the shop all the time haha. 200 miles limit per ride, but it's free, and I don't have to go with the vehicle. Just hand the tow truck driver my keys and have them deliver it. 100% worth it.

I had wk057 install a 100kWh pack in my P85D a few years ago. I've taken it to Tesla for service many times, even last year when I had a slew of BMS error messages and the car was bricked. Turned out to be bad grounds, but still, it is painfully obvious that I no longer have an 85 battery and a third-party shop clearly replaced the battery. I even took it to Tesla while my ESA was still active and they made several repairs under the ESA. Tesla never did or said anything about it. I still have supercharging and connectivity.
Also, your avatar is the most annoying thing ever. But I suspect you know that already.
edit: Ahhh.. that's better!!

Update: I trailered it to a shop and it was dead couldn't drive it off the trailer just tow mode only.
He cleared the error and it turned on so it's an intermittent problem aka the ****ing worst kind of problem.
Obviously something is wrong, but as to what who knows. He is gonna try and replicate the prob either with supercharging or some other way but it's really annoying when a problem doesn't persist.
But I don't want the car back unless he fixes it because it's basically a ticking time bomb to break again unless he can find the issue and repair the problem.
@wk057 any chance you would be willing to talk to the shop about this since you installed the pack? And perhaps privde any additional insight as to the issue.
