Here's mine for comparison (sea level)

2012 S85 w/2017 rev q motor and qc charge coolant bypass

Where's my midgate? 😃 The Silverado is looking better every day, not to mention it's roughly the same cost!

That solves for a bigger problem but misses the root cause. In my case, I did as you suggested but to my surprise, no coolant drained from my inverter drain. Only after dropping the ldu and pulling the stator cover did I see that my windings were bathing in an inch of liquid. My inverter is...

Thanks @asavage for some tips that helped and also kept my attitude positive. Even though my stator windings were irreparable, my salvage ldu is in good shape. Just finished installing the qc bypass to keep it that way. Car drives like new! My inverter and gear box are still good, in case...

I am right there with you. Part of me is waiting for "cbt v2" with all the lessons learned fixed... somehow I think this run of "trucks" is one and done. Tesla will either double down or abandon this experiment.

This thread brings back nostalgia from back in the day... does this car have halogen headlights by chance?

So.. just bought a salvage reman Rev q ldu to replace my utterly damaged non reman Rev q ldu. The reman one is clean , but I noticed this one had a hole in the speed sensor area where the non reman Rev q does not. What's that all about?

So do you have two passes, or do you discard one of them?

Good luck! I dropped the whole motor before performing the coolant delete and pulled it apart and a surprising amount of brown mucky liquid drained out. 😥

Thanks again, was able to follow your suggestion and managed to test the resistance. Inverter Checks out fine, but the stator - oh boy is that shot. Pulled it apart and it was flooded :(

Thanks for the tip - I'll give that a go since what you did is exactly what I am tying to accomplish - test the stator resistance while disconnected from the inverter.

Sadly, I'm all too familiar with the HVIL loop diagrams :) But I do thank you for the hope on the stator windings - If it were crystalized coolant, I'd expect to see some resistance, I'm registering a dead short (less than 2 ohms yikes!). [using AMPROBE AMB-25 Mega-ohmeter set to 500V] But...

Incredibly stupid question - in the middle of a rebuild due to HVIL fault on a Rev Q Unit installed by Tesla. Thought I found my culprit - as I had low impedance between ground and B+ on the input lead (~400Kohm vs > 2Mohm). Replaced the B+/B- harness and impedance checks out. No sign of...

What is this part? Custom made? 3d printable?

Not a hater, but.. I think it would look better as a CyberVan. The front has a nice aesthetic going on - modern, futuristic, big glass. That appeal starts to fall apart when you look past the front passenger doors and glance by the truck bed. It's like they started at the front, got half...

Finding your post saved me - I filled up my reservoir tank with 140PSI and got my cars ass off the ground high enough to jack it. Thanks for the hint!

11k is a bit steep. But if you're willing to do the coolant bypass to the motor, and the battery is in good shape, go for it!

OP: It's clear to me at least, that the MB EQS or Rivian SUV are a better all around fit for your person capacity as well as luxury requirements. I could not imagine a car that is a bigger mismatch for you than the CT.

Exactly - Forget about the service texts. My car is not even on file with the local SC. I went in to for a scheduled appointment - and they were like "why are you here?" - they did not see the appointment I made with the app. Worse, they had no record of my car existing in my account until I...

Might be coolant in the drive unit - checkout the LDU seal fail thread. Either way, not a great scenario.

It sounds like bad luck right? The 12V needs a constant supply from the DCDC converter driven off the main pack to survive. If there is a HV isolation fault - from the drivetrain, or main battery, or coolant heater, the power to the 12V is cut off and the MCU and other 12V systems draws thier...

I just tried sending the above 0x602 CAN message to clear a HVIL fault after replacing my coolant heater to bus3 on 2012 MS (low resistance from and to b+ on the connector). Code did not clear, but I got a BMS_f011_HW_Illegal_ctr_Req back - I'm guessing my CAN message is corrupt somehow?

That's Yang's Wang!

Just tell anyone who asks that it *is* the new roadster!

Isn't that the toadster 203x?

Tesla keeps trying to subtly roll out this feature. Glad we're not going for it 😅

https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/byds-yangwang-reveals-u9-electric-supercar Really, at this point, why bother with Roadster 20xx? It's almost comical.

Thanks for the update. Great data!

Oh good, your still alive! :) Followed this thread since the beginning and was concerned. I guess you haven't driven 10k miles yet so no news is good news?

Replying to my own thread - look, the Cybertrk has this! [Full Video]

Necroing an old thread, but it would be useful for the filters to be more specific - for example, I want to filter out V3 chargers, but can't because >150KW includes the V3's... How about a <250KW and <150KW option, or just multiselects?

In 2014 they released that and removed it a short time later. It worked well. It might be baked in under the covers now, with no user adjustment, but rather automatic. Would be interesting to test it with a meter.

Speak with your wallet and leave them high and dry. You can do better for less.

Well??

IR sensors are tricky when measuring temperatures of metals and must be compensated for - could be tricky with grime and corrosion vs new metal etc: https://www.thermoworks.com/emissivity-table/

Say what you will about Tesla's iterative approach to cost reduction, but they tend to go in the opposite direction when launching a new (unproven)technology - they go a little overkill in the engineering aspects to bolster confidence in the beginning. I would probably be a little more...

A front camera would be cool. You know what'd be cooler? A telescopic camera that would extend a foot or so behind the bumper when shifting into reverse so I could see left and right when pulling out of a tight parking spot - especially if both vehicles next to me were trucks or other large...

2020? Ha! We'll see how many of these the 2012 MS get!

The blind-spot camera, appearing on the screen(to the right of the driver) when making a left turn is counter-intuitive for me. I much prefer the warning indicator in the direction I am looking in. I know that these are all stepping stones to the ultimate vision(no pun intended) of doing...

2012 MS85. I chew through tires, lets's see - 5 sets, 120Kmiles 120/5 = 24K miles per set - give or take.

I asked them.... They said it was all within spec. They did not give me a hardcopy from the machine, just on the invoice. I won't spend my alignment money there ever again, that's for sure - feel like I was taken. But that was 2 years and one car ago.

I had my wheels aligned at Tesla. I don't think they did anything. Still had tire wear and felt no difference, except my wallet was a little lighter.

Cool. Yeah, with the deletion of the ramps, it would be useful if it could at least still squat.

I would not say the cost is REASONABLE. As others pointed out the labor RATES are what makes it unreasonable. It is about on par for a Tesla SC. $250 an hour for labor is insane.

I've read a bunch of things that were depicted in the initial reveal of the truck that have been since deleted, such as the built in bed ramps. Does that mean the ability to squat the rear is also gone?

The end of year discounts on demo's are really good. I just took delivery of the same combo as you, except white interior ay my Kisco sc. It was a complete zoo with all the cars they were delivering that day - not thier brightest moment for sure. Anyway, For the savings, pick up a set of tires...
