Hi everybody,
So first maybe a little background:
I bought a salvage Tesla 100D 2019 from an auction and imported it for myself to Europe.
Damage is driver airbags, curtain airbags, left seat belt, complete front (bumper etc), compressor and valve block, also right upper shotgun and right fender.
I planned to work on the car myself ordering used and new parts from EPC. Some restricted - uuuffff - right shotgun is like 150$, but resellers offer them for 400$.
Anyways right now I'm collecting all damaged items and plan to do all the work in 1 shot. I couldn't start the car, just to move it down the small lorry. Right now when I got 75% of the stuff I want to be preapered to do all the things needed and program it with toolbox 3. So I got few questions for the experts. Here we go:
1. Is it true that after airbag deploy the pyrofuse under the battery blows? Does it happen always with airbag deploy?
2. This ones gonna be hard. I'm assuming that pyrofuse is the reason for quickly dying low voltage battery, when trying to start the car it says voltage too low and shutting down. Anyways I wanted to order that one directly from Tesla (it's over the counter item in their EPC catalog). So what it shows me from VIN (or just by parts catalog) is * 1111313-00-F with comment
DISCONNECT,PYROTECHNIC,CUR POWERED,2000A
Do NOT use with 100kWh or 1014116-*/1597780-* HV Batteries
Well my car is 100D so a 100 kWh battery I asked EPC stuff by email is this the right one for my car and they replied all they know is what is in EPC so that's the only reference and there are no other pyro fuses offered (even restricted or Tesla only, anyway it would be in EPC). They also gave me a hint that 1111445-00-F is the factory pyro fuse that comes with the car.
Here comes the hard question. The difference between them is that the number uno (don't use on 100kWh) is 2000A and the other one is 2366A. Do you think I could just use the first one as I want it brand new and Tesla don't offer other ones.
There are 10000 people that import and fix teslas and I think they don't give much f* which pyro they put in but I want to sleep good.
3. Tesla also states that a small pyro next to fusebox should be changed whenever an airbag is deployed. The car seems to work normal except for not driving. Do you think it needs exchanging - I'm positive it's not blown (checked)?
4. After I am done with everything except painting the car I plan to use Toolbox 3 to clear all the crash data, delete all errors etc. Do you think 1 day is enough? Cause I am thinking about 1 day now, 1 day after painting (which would be 200 euro) or 1 month for 500 euro...
I think that would be all. Tesla EPC stuff is quite helpful but seem not to have much service knowledge.
Kind Regards
Sorry for making this so loooong and all the mistakes I made language wise.
