Kyle, next time instead of booking an appointment at the store, see if they offer mobile service in your area. Those guys are far more likely to work on the car considering it never has to see the store especially when they have a shop to work in.

Him worrying about Tesla is hilarious. Kyle, would you feel nervous taking the hatch to Honda? Just because no one at the dealership understands what you are doing, that doesn't mean it's wrong.
big props to that second dealership for showing you how to get into that diagnostic mode and help to figure out where the issue is coming from. they may not be able to actually do anything for you, but at least they didnt just tell you no and send you home
@@St0neByte Tesla is the most anti-consumer car company in terms of repairs, they will block you and future owners of vehicle out of charging network when you do any work on battery with very hard way (or no way) to get back. They are glueing battery pack so now It is much harder to fix them, and while I understand thermal benefits for plaid I do not understand why model 3 and Y are glued. On top of that they removed lidars to save a thousand or something but the autopilot isn't ready and without lidar backup they killed few motorcyclists because autopilot made mistake. They are over promising and under delivering on every single step and Musk's humour creates some "funny issues" they waste time on, like making a boat out of cybertruck because he wants to prove something that isn't useful for anyone and probably isn't feasible at all.
Its not like it use to be. The average guy has access to a lot of knowledge then they use to. Once the information is out there on the web it's available to anyone
Love seeing Electrified Garage come in and help. It’s great seeing folks passionate about what they do share with fellow enthusiasts! Hope we see some more far out upgrades with those guys!
8:52 That’s me sitting in there! Was great to meet you. Thanks for showing the car off a few months ago. Trust me, we were all so excited to see it even though we might not be able to show it. That thing was a beast. Got in trouble for sitting in it but was worth it. No I don’t work there anymore hence the comment on it finally.
Run jumper wires between the controller ground and the ground for the components that aren't working (pump, sensors and valves). The removed chassis and body panels may have isolated these various suspension components from their shared ground path.
Good point. More broadly, what are the effects of leaving so many things disconnected and just "floating"? Connecting the grounds is an easy start on that.
Switch-mode power supplies (AC to DC / DC to DC converters) require a minimum current draw. It's possible that operating a switch-mode power supply for long periods with insufficient load could cause board-level component failures. A dummy load can help, which is just a ceramic resistor heating element.
Just love this. Why didn't it occur to me that young men have not changed? 80 some years ago we were all into hopping up our Fords and Chevys. Now the same group are into hopping up their Teslas. Way to go guys.
Indeed. I caught the tail-end of the carbureted area, am OK with EFI, but completely out of my element in E.V. Seems we quickly adapt into the era we're born, and naturally push the limits from there. Then we get real-world responsibilities, along with perhaps a bit of complacency in our careers, and things run away from us.

Those guys at EG are AMAZING! From Chris to Chad to Travis etc… the EG crew are the best Tesla mechanics I know. Rich is an amazing guy also but he just a silent partner in the EG shops legend. These guys will be millions airs in no time.👍👍 Great video.
You might be able to resolve it cheaper. I had a circuit board on my abs control module for a normal truck (not tesla plaid turned into e roy lol) stop working and throwing tons of abs codes. I took it to an electronics repair shop and the dude had this crazy machine to zoom in on the circuit board. He ran solder on all contact points and i took it home and reinstalled. Fixed everything. I dont know if this will fix your issue, but it only cost me 30 bucks vs a new one for $300 plus a core charge. Hope this helps
3 words: Right to repair Otherwise, broken wires are very commonly intermittent, and frankly with all the mods it is by far the most likely issue. Wire bundles get disturbed or moved during these type of mods and can easily end up in a situation where they chafe on a sharp edge or something like that or just get pulled on too much during the mods. It's a lot of troubleshooting with a multimeter, but it will likely be the only solution that eventually works. I really hope that it does end being that module, but experience tells me probably not. Fingers crossed.
My old car would shut of and then wouldnt start intermittently because of the wire to the crank shaft position sensor. God it took a long time to untape and find the place the wire was broken.
could be a dry solder joint in that box. put it in the oven (minus anything plastic and bake it for a bit, should melt) and reseat all the solder joints
@@markkennard861 Or even a solder rework station... LOL Soldering in 2023 is VERY different to what it was like when I was a kid. (But that's like 50 years ago... LOL)
If the oven is hot enough to melt and reflow solder, it is hot enough to damage most components on the board. (recently retired Electronic Service Technician, working on audio & digital audio for decades).
@@markkennard861 telling an untrained person to resolder a whole board filled with SMD components with a soldering iron is kind of a lot in my opinion lol
I love seeing hot rodding. Even tho electric isnt cool like engines its still fast as hell and fun .plus hot rodding is awesome. Im glad u guys did this .its nice having a unique car that isnt the same as every one elses.
I've worked on the design of an air suspension control module for another brand. The SW does thousands of diag checks and is madly complex. kudos to those guys who are having a go on your car and trying to fix it it is a really interesting system. One tip - just try and see if you can emulate the removed connections(at least to passive stuff like sensors and such) so the SW doesn't generate so many errors. Sometimes so many errorrs on the bus cause the units to create big comm. Overhead which may start affecting comm. To healthy units.
Hope it’s sorted ok and you can keep doing the fun things with it Your doing cutting edge motor sport modifications to the car of the future Just like the old hotrodders
It was nice to see that Tesla dealers didn’t give you the heave ho off the property at least. Those Electrified boys were certainly nice coming down to assist in finding the issue. Hopefully that couple hundred dollar control unit will do the trick.👍👍🇨🇦
Hopefully that takes care of your issues. However if disabling the speed limit fixed that issue would it be possible to fab up a traditional spring suspension rather than dealing with the air ride? Then you could also remove the compressor and everything else and save a couple more pounds
@BoostedBoiz something ive learned from my local non tesla body repair shop, if you go to the software tab and hold on the car's model title for a few seconds (my case model 3), it will ask for a service code. level 1 service is literally just "service" 🤦♂. its easy to back out afterwards. i have entered service mode multiple times, for brake burnishing and testing and disabling E-Breaking to diagnose a noise issue. i took it to a T service center and they have not told me that ive been in service mode multiple times, but they might of not told me everything they can see. i recommend you only go into service mode after they tell you that they cant help you. also i saw another comment saying to try local tesla authorized repair shops as they might help without restrictions.
Kinda cool they were willing to even look at it. I can 100% get where they come from refusing though as they have self-driving and safety features, they likely don't want liability for if they malfunctioned due to your mods. There is also the whole it might take longer to do a job thing, other cars at risk if it goes up in flames etc etc. I am 100% behind right to repair though. Long as they let you do all the programming/coding/resetting stuff without special OBD tools or whatever and provide the parts its all good.
Hey if it's not too late, I'm parting a model s in central Florida if you want to grab the air ride controller. I'm just not sure if it's the same part number.
When you install the new one put some thin rubber washers between it and the chassis to reduce chassis vibration that might be breaking stuff on the inside. Isolation damper basically, same thing on an electrical transformer.
We put a 120 shot of nitrous on a brand new ranger back in the day, banged the rev limiter on the juice and blew the motor. Dry kit, just a hole in the intake. Ford took the truck and fixed it under warranty and plugged the hole. We later drove that truck through a mudhole and ingested enough water to blow the head on the right side. They fixed it again under warranty. These new mechanics/dealerships ain't shit.
Deoxit gold all the connectors that might have gotten wet or vibrated. The ride must be harsher with so much mass removed which might have caused so much more vibration to damage the wiring. Carbon or magnesium wheels would be a great mod for e-rod.
It's probably the level sensor reading for the air suspension. Check out the Custom air suspension on my 2015 Model S 70d. Mine doesn't have those sensors, so... no errors! The original system had a closed loop air system that required a 300 psi recharge or pure nitrogen.
Any place that won’t let you record a conversation is always sketch to me. They 100% are recording you with cameras, and phone calls are recorded. I get what the law states for private property etc, but if your first and only concern is whether someone can document an interaction it's always suspect to me.
It's because they cannot repair it by policy and don't want a recording if them saying "ye just bring it in rough this loophole". Without recording it's much easier to deny you said it
That was exactly my thoughts too, if i was the SA i would have said….catch the phones i have to go see this and likely grabbed a tech to see it too. From what i can tell and seen just over the net, most EV dealer/owner’s could care less about performance or what they are capable of. EVs to most of them is just a status symbol but the power junkies love all forms of power, that second dealer had some cool guys but its always that one thats got to pull rank and stop somebody from videoing them when they came out into that video lol
He should have just tried to get them tonwork on it he made it weird by explaining everything and sounded sketch doing it I'm surenhe coulda got someone tocdo it if hedidint act sus from the start
A electronic ground is required for digital signals to register Zero, otherwise many readings are stuck on logic one, pull down resistors require a low resistance to the body ground.
i haven't finished the video yet but have you run a jumper from the air system grounding point to the body directly to the battery ground to see if your metal removal screwed with the ability to chases ground?
In before cease and desist takedown notice. It's stuff like this that would stop me ever having one of those cars. Tesla to me is the Apple of the EV world, that is, locked in, closed source, proprietary, anti right-to-repair. I see this as the biggest obstacle to be overcome when it comes to modifying these cars. Certainly not just a Tesla problem though these days.
tesla is a fair bit ahead of a lot of other manufacturers though. you can get a lot of parts over the counter and all of the service manuals are available for free on their website
I've made it to around 10:00 in clearly check the ground to the system that's at fault before going to the dealership.... but they were super cool about it. Let's see the rest of the video!!! They may have a clue that you can troubleshoot and diagnose a few things on your own....
Grounds can be a real pain. I had a car once that wouldn’t start and turns out there was a brake light ground to chassis that was not bolted down to the frame and that caused it not to start. Run in the bolt grounded the lights and everything was fine fired right up.
Love It! You have removes so much body may have ti add a copper wire to all of the ground points from front to rear of the car. Ecoat paint at factory caused bad grounds years ago had to add extra grounds near tail lights for them to work.. It is too much to explain, maybe jump all the grounds together with one small copper wire. Hope to see it run again.
@@tessierrr so does aem through the Holley high voltage division specifically tesla stuff. They also have an s197 gt with the Ford mach e motor in the back runs high 11s with a small 35kwh multiple hybrid pack setup.
Bro why have you not slapped a #Fueltech ECU on that thing yet? You know they can do electric stuff, and I'd bet you could piggyback it in pretty easily. Just something to think about. ✌️
I don't think plaid inverter has been hacked yet but the regular ones have definitely already been hacked. You cna control pack and motors on all other configurations
Dude I always said I'd be cool with eventually switching to eletric if I could download any engine sound to drive too. The fact that its actually a thing now is sick!
Keep at it,I know you'll conquer this little problem. Wanted to say I met your mom at the World Cup finals and she is the coolest. I think you should include her in sum of your videos.
I dont know about exhaust notes on EV's- but I do like the Speakers for "rev sounds" anyways- it'd be really cool to create your own sound wave for your car to differentiate it from the others.
OK, I saw the EV "exhaust speakers" on a SEMA video and laughed out loud. It's the adult version of putting playing cards on your bicycle spokes. I think it would be more amusing to have the sound of Fred Flintstone's feet slapping the pavement.
why? Musk is a buffoon who inherited money from his daddy's emerald mining slaves. The ONLY thing he's ever done worth anything is founding and finding talent for SpaceX. HE'S NOT DOING SCIENCE. He's not an inventor. He's a rich boy who's chosen areas of interest that make him seem smart.
May not be a bad ground but yes that way you are saying is the correct way to test a wire. a bad wire will pass the continuity test with a meter but not be able to flow any actual current.
I know EV's get a bad rap in the car world but it's great to see you boost (ha pun intended) up these small shops that are showing that you can still mod and have fun with your EV. It might not be loud and rowdy dead dinosaur horsepower. But it's a different type of speed and modification; it's still modification though!
It’s special you think cutting off most of the sheet metal and gutting a car “modifying”.. This idiocy is going to kill racing. It will 💯 be whoever has the most money to buy the latest and greatest wins. Any moron with enough money can buy a blan and take it to the strip and get like results. Zero skill and ingenuity involved.
@@lanejohnson7656 That's a valid argument; I see the same thing in the music world with a lot of tools/effects being much more accessible to your average person. But I'd counter that while you'll probably see more "noise" as it were, the "signal" aka, what racing enthusiasts really like - will still be fun and exciting by the rules of those races. Just like driving normal cars. Millions of people driving a gutless 15 year old car has not ruined racing. The community just needs to figure out how to do racing with EV's where it's not just a tack on thing. Like it or not, the change is coming in someway or another; why not work to embrace it and make it fun instead of digging in ones heels?
@@Daphoid The only reason it’s coming is because it’s being shoved down our throats by tyrants over lies.. Start digging craters in the earth In the US instead of across the world, out of sight and out of mind and watch all the morons lose their minds.. If EV was so great people would gravitate to it naturally, the tyrant government wouldn’t have to mandate it. The weak azz power grid struggles to keep up the way it is and you fools think throwing millions of cars on it is a good idea.. lol. The difference of people driving 15 year old gutless cars is. You can literally make something out of them so they are no longer gutless.. I guarantee you in the 80’s and 90’s people didn’t want to be caught dead in something like a pinto wagon or a Volvo wagon. But today watching them rip off 6 sec 1/4 mile or low to mid 4 sec 1/8 mile runs is pretty badass. Built for less than one of these pile of 💩 Tesla’s by the way and will absolutely smoke them.
Pretty decent “Black Friday Special”, y’all got there, for them coming out and doing some real diagnosis, versus, throwing parts at it. Don’t think Tesla treated y’all that bad, as I suspect they’re roped in by franchise agreements. Kewl that these guys are taking their experience and knowledge, and carrying it forward, creating a niche business, and providing service options for people.
For a split second, when you were talking about the diagnosis and exhaust, I was thinking a traditional combustion engine. Forgot about the battery 🔋 lol.
Hey man never plug in the low voltage battery. Before you install the firemen's loop, there is a possibility of popping the pyrotechnic battery disconnect if you do it that way.
Older battery packs can have individual cells replaced. There are third parties that can perform that service. The newest models have the batteries covered by a foam that is difficult to remove.
Someome tag elon😂. Get the builder/tuner community into this and oh lordy look out. Tesla through the roof. Theyll def have to double production of battery and motor. I get from his side why that wont happen and has been such a battle. But as a mech engineer with 6 cars, all but 1 heavily modded.. some of the BEST solutions and input ive ever heard were from the tuner movement.
21:10 my gut tells me that ECU fried itself from trying to pump voltage out to sensors you removed.. you might want to create a phantom device to plug into it so it has somewhere to dump that voltage, like a low power light bulb that acts as a visible fuse/power dump location.
Kyle, next time instead of booking an appointment at the store, see if they offer mobile service in your area. Those guys are far more likely to work on the car considering it never has to see the store especially when they have a shop to work in.

You know one of the boys from the shop went out of his way to help out of sight of the dealership. Props 😅
When you install the new one put some thin rubber washers between it and the chassis to reduce chassis vibration that might be breaking stuff on the inside. Isolation damper basically, same thing on an electrical transformer.
We put a 120 shot of nitrous on a brand new ranger back in the day, banged the rev limiter on the juice and blew the motor. Dry kit, just a hole in the intake. Ford took the truck and fixed it under warranty and plugged the hole. We later drove that truck through a mudhole and ingested enough water to blow the head on the right side. They fixed it again under warranty. These new mechanics/dealerships ain't shit.
Deoxit gold all the connectors that might have gotten wet or vibrated. The ride must be harsher with so much mass removed which might have caused so much more vibration to damage the wiring. Carbon or magnesium wheels would be a great mod for e-rod.
91mph limp mode?!?! Sign me up! My car would live in limp mode hahaha
It's probably the level sensor reading for the air suspension. Check out the Custom air suspension on my 2015 Model S 70d. Mine doesn't have those sensors, so... no errors! The original system had a closed loop air system that required a 300 psi recharge or pure nitrogen.
With the weight reduction alone, could it throw off the level sensors expectations?
@@f.f.s.d.o.a.7294 Very possible. It's more likely that that board / level reader got thrashed from not being protected from the elements.
Any place that won’t let you record a conversation is always sketch to me. They 100% are recording you with cameras, and phone calls are recorded. I get what the law states for private property etc, but if your first and only concern is whether someone can document an interaction it's always suspect to me.
Why can banks record your conversation but they have kittens if you want to record them . . . .
It's because so many people get on and bash tesla. I don't think another car manufacture receives as much hate as they do
@@Shiftheads BMW
It's because they cannot repair it by policy and don't want a recording if them saying "ye just bring it in rough this loophole". Without recording it's much easier to deny you said it
Chris is the nicest guy you can meet in the Tesla community. Great guy, great mechanic.
Wow, you walked into a tesla dealership and told them you had a model s plaid with no body panels and none of them were like, yeah I want to see that?
That tells a whole story about the electric car community.....
@@JasonAJames Kinda snobby to me.
That was exactly my thoughts too, if i was the SA i would have said….catch the phones i have to go see this and likely grabbed a tech to see it too. From what i can tell and seen just over the net, most EV dealer/owner’s could care less about performance or what they are capable of. EVs to most of them is just a status symbol but the power junkies love all forms of power, that second dealer had some cool guys but its always that one thats got to pull rank and stop somebody from videoing them when they came out into that video lol
He should have just tried to get them tonwork on it he made it weird by explaining everything and sounded sketch doing it I'm surenhe coulda got someone tocdo it if hedidint act sus from the start
he said literally ALL of them wanted to see it and take pictures
A electronic ground is required for digital signals to register Zero, otherwise many readings are stuck on logic one, pull down resistors require a low resistance to the body ground.
Wow, that suspension setup looks way more complicated than my Land Rover! A lot more expensive too. I'm sure it's worth it though. Cool car!
I really enjoy seeing all of the diverse content on this channel. Keep up the great work.
7:52 “Everything is facotory its just missing the doors …and roof….……… and obviously everything else but anyways”💀💀💀
That was the quietest dealership shop I've ever seen. You could of herd a ant fart.
Sheep, cattle too perhaps?
@@dodgemf1 I want to hear a fly fart. I bet its a funny little zipper sound.
I really enjoyed this. It's fun watching the diagnosis of problems
Definitely one of your best videos for a while. Go Kyle!
Say what? lmao Hes been posting a ton of Grade A content from World Cup and his builds, and you say this is the best vid in a while lmao foh
i haven't finished the video yet but have you run a jumper from the air system grounding point to the body directly to the battery ground to see if your metal removal screwed with the ability to chases ground?
In before cease and desist takedown notice. It's stuff like this that would stop me ever having one of those cars. Tesla to me is the Apple of the EV world, that is, locked in, closed source, proprietary, anti right-to-repair. I see this as the biggest obstacle to be overcome when it comes to modifying these cars. Certainly not just a Tesla problem though these days.
tesla is a fair bit ahead of a lot of other manufacturers though. you can get a lot of parts over the counter and all of the service manuals are available for free on their website
@@ChaseEdson Lol.. Tesla is 💩.
I've made it to around 10:00 in clearly check the ground to the system that's at fault before going to the dealership.... but they were super cool about it. Let's see the rest of the video!!! They may have a clue that you can troubleshoot and diagnose a few things on your own....
If you get the car fixed, definitely do a video or 2 cruising around getting peoples reactions and racing on the streets haha
Grounds can be a real pain. I had a car once that wouldn’t start and turns out there was a brake light ground to chassis that was not bolted down to the frame and that caused it not to start. Run in the bolt grounded the lights and everything was fine fired right up.
Hey Tesla, my model S blew up!
Tesla: Successful programmed disassembly
You should look closer at the PCB, it's probably just a bad resistor or a dry solder joint
Looks like that compressor tank doubles as a strut brace. Pretty cool.
It does, they are really proud of combining the two. Before it was a standard alum tank mounted elsewhere.
Clear Ignorance !!
Sandy Munroe acknowledged this as brilliant
Love It! You have removes so much body may have ti add a copper wire to all of the ground points from front to rear of the car. Ecoat paint at factory caused bad grounds years ago had to add extra grounds near tail lights for them to work.. It is too much to explain, maybe jump all the grounds together with one small copper wire. Hope to see it run again.
Starting to wonder how much longer we have to wait for companies like EV-control to come with controllers^^
Fueltech already supports electric i believe 🙂
@@tessierrr so does aem through the Holley high voltage division specifically tesla stuff. They also have an s197 gt with the Ford mach e motor in the back runs high 11s with a small 35kwh multiple hybrid pack setup.
They just don't control plaid inverters yet but a couple companies do make controllers for the regular packs and motors like in the model 3/y/s
@@Shiftheads this
I haven’t seen Travis in years glad to see he’s doing well keep up the good work guys
You know who to call 📞 ? Electrified garage, of course🎉
Good solution Rich Rebuilds and Electrify Garage. 👍👍
Wow, i remember 7 years ago the Q&A you did on this channel. Glad to see you over 1.2M subs now
Bro why have you not slapped a #Fueltech ECU on that thing yet? You know they can do electric stuff, and I'd bet you could piggyback it in pretty easily. Just something to think about. ✌️
I don't think plaid inverter has been hacked yet but the regular ones have definitely already been hacked. You cna control pack and motors on all other configurations
Always plug in the fireman's loop first. And anytime you install a new part you need to do a software reinstall.
Dude I always said I'd be cool with eventually switching to eletric if I could download any engine sound to drive too. The fact that its actually a thing now is sick!
Elon seems chill hit up Joe rogan tell him your prob he will tell Elon then your good
@@blaznmax8877you’re*
yuck
Fake engine noise is the most cringe thing you can do next to having smooth brain levels of camber
Milltek provides "exhaust mod" to EVs
Keep at it,I know you'll conquer this little problem. Wanted to say I met your mom at the World Cup finals and she is the coolest. I think you should include her in sum of your videos.
get rid of the air sus and a get a coilover system. it is much easier to service and it is lighter.
Faster 1/4 mile times with air
@@GWAForUTBEhow
@@wrth the stock plaid has several suspension modes to launch faster utilizing ride height.
@@GWAForUTBEyou can manipulate this with coilovers though. If air was fastest for drag racing then every fast car at the drag strip would be on air
@@Shiftheads it's fastest for a plaid. Then instantly a cushy ride home to pick up the kids...
I dont know about exhaust notes on EV's- but I do like the Speakers for "rev sounds" anyways- it'd be really cool to create your own sound wave for your car to differentiate it from the others.
Rip to charging using a Tesla Supercharger
That would of happened when car got a salvage title.
OK, I saw the EV "exhaust speakers" on a SEMA video and laughed out loud. It's the adult version of putting playing cards on your bicycle spokes.
I think it would be more amusing to have the sound of Fred Flintstone's feet slapping the pavement.
BB need to reach out to Elon and get his reaction to this series.
why? Musk is a buffoon who inherited money from his daddy's emerald mining slaves. The ONLY thing he's ever done worth anything is founding and finding talent for SpaceX. HE'S NOT DOING SCIENCE. He's not an inventor. He's a rich boy who's chosen areas of interest that make him seem smart.
Power probe makes a 5v generator adapter. You can generate the 5v ref with it
Ask if they can remove the max discharge limiter from the battery for more power. 😊
"why"
"why not"
"you absolutely right"
Best line there is.
Always test your power and grounds with a substituted load... a turn signal light... a headlight... something... i bet u still have a bad ground...
May not be a bad ground but yes that way you are saying is the correct way to test a wire. a bad wire will pass the continuity test with a meter but not be able to flow any actual current.
Sean Miller; another obvious ignoramus; non-technician, especially within electrical more so electronics !! 😞
Try some 3ohm resistors on the old airbag and seat plugs. Might get rid of the codes for them
I know EV's get a bad rap in the car world but it's great to see you boost (ha pun intended) up these small shops that are showing that you can still mod and have fun with your EV. It might not be loud and rowdy dead dinosaur horsepower. But it's a different type of speed and modification; it's still modification though!
It’s special you think cutting off most of the sheet metal and gutting a car “modifying”..
This idiocy is going to kill racing. It will 💯 be whoever has the most money to buy the latest and greatest wins. Any moron with enough money can buy a blan and take it to the strip and get like results. Zero skill and ingenuity involved.
@@lanejohnson7656 That's a valid argument; I see the same thing in the music world with a lot of tools/effects being much more accessible to your average person.
But I'd counter that while you'll probably see more "noise" as it were, the "signal" aka, what racing enthusiasts really like - will still be fun and exciting by the rules of those races.
Just like driving normal cars. Millions of people driving a gutless 15 year old car has not ruined racing.
The community just needs to figure out how to do racing with EV's where it's not just a tack on thing.
Like it or not, the change is coming in someway or another; why not work to embrace it and make it fun instead of digging in ones heels?
@@Daphoid The only reason it’s coming is because it’s being shoved down our throats by tyrants over lies.. Start digging craters in the earth In the US instead of across the world, out of sight and out of mind and watch all the morons lose their minds.. If EV was so great people would gravitate to it naturally, the tyrant government wouldn’t have to mandate it. The weak azz power grid struggles to keep up the way it is and you fools think throwing millions of cars on it is a good idea.. lol.
The difference of people driving 15 year old gutless cars is. You can literally make something out of them so they are no longer gutless.. I guarantee you in the 80’s and 90’s people didn’t want to be caught dead in something like a pinto wagon or a Volvo wagon. But today watching them rip off 6 sec 1/4 mile or low to mid 4 sec 1/8 mile runs is pretty badass. Built for less than one of these pile of 💩 Tesla’s by the way and will absolutely smoke them.
The guys from Electrified Garage rock, that was way cool of them to come and help Kyle out...solid.
Pretty decent “Black Friday Special”, y’all got there, for them coming out and doing some real diagnosis, versus, throwing parts at it.
Don’t think Tesla treated y’all that bad, as I suspect they’re roped in by franchise agreements.
Kewl that these guys are taking their experience and knowledge, and carrying it forward, creating a niche business, and providing service options for people.
EG has certified genius level employees... Glad they came to you
Skin all the exterior panels from the stock body and body clip them in place so you have a facade mode
For a split second, when you were talking about the diagnosis and exhaust, I was thinking a traditional combustion engine. Forgot about the battery 🔋 lol.
You should load test the ground not just trust the power probe
Another electricity, electronics Ignorant, non electrical, electronics technician. 😞
Rich Rebuilds to the rescue! 😂
Boosted Boiz maybe going to the Electric Garage.
Who spilled a twisted tea on it 😂
I could have told you that. Broski. You always check output first on DC. Volts make sure you have voltage going to the unit.
Elon has to know about what you did anbet he loves it
If he loves it he should stop making it difficult to mod Teslas.
Hey man never plug in the low voltage battery. Before you install the firemen's loop, there is a possibility of popping the pyrotechnic battery disconnect if you do it that way.
Day 159 I think 💭 bring back the Honda prelude 😢
20:20 why would he blur out the dash cluster
Also, when elon doesnt respond. Call Rich rebuilds
electrified garage is Rich's company
Older battery packs can have individual cells replaced. There are third parties that can perform that service. The newest models have the batteries covered by a foam that is difficult to remove.
Someome tag elon😂. Get the builder/tuner community into this and oh lordy look out. Tesla through the roof. Theyll def have to double production of battery and motor. I get from his side why that wont happen and has been such a battle. But as a mech engineer with 6 cars, all but 1 heavily modded.. some of the BEST solutions and input ive ever heard were from the tuner movement.
Elon too busy destroying the country with his cult
Electrify Garage thanks for doing the thing and working on this broken Tesla!
Welp - I guess I broke it 😅
LOL in a glorious way! xD
Loved the Electicfied Garage wrap on their car !
That second store looks like the one where I picked up my model x plaid. It’s the one on north Florida ave.
21:10 my gut tells me that ECU fried itself from trying to pump voltage out to sensors you removed.. you might want to create a phantom device to plug into it so it has somewhere to dump that voltage, like a low power light bulb that acts as a visible fuse/power dump location.
