    Just wanted to thank you for the detail you have in these videos, it's going to be a massive help in my next project re-shelling a model 3! Have you tried out any of the autopilot features yet?

    • @sydneyg007
      @sydneyg007 4 дні тому

      No problem. That's the whole point of the videos! So Autosteer obviously won't work because I don't have the Tesla steering. I think that Traffic aware cruise control will work once I sort out the ESP emulation ( but not working yet). It does render the lanes/vehicles on the screen.

    Lol. " The other big benefit of the fraw is the aero effect ". On a 110 Landrover ???? l got a laugh out of that . But seriously , using that space is a great idea.The flexibility of design is a real advantage of an ev . lf the radiator/coolers were located somewhere else that fraw could become fraws. All the stuff that you don't want inside or on top of the car could live in there.

    • @sydneyg007
      @sydneyg007 2 місяці тому

      Ha! Yeh, Land Rover and aero dynamics don't usually go together but the thing is that I feel like there is plenty of scope for improvement and it's hard to make it worse! I've seen the evaporator mounted at the back of the chassis which would give a fair but more room.

    • @sydneyg007
      @sydneyg007 4 місяці тому

      Yes. Definitely a possibility! My old series 3 had it on the bonnet. Apparently improves aerodynamics as well! The main reason I don't want to is because it makes the bonnet very heavy and I will be using the front (frunk) for storage. Dunno, might still be worth it...

    That is so inspiring, I'm going to watch this episode if I have a flat spot during my build. Will you position the HVIL resistors outside of the wrapped loom in case they burn out or fail? Or would that only be needed for the airbag module replacement resistors? Great work

    • @sydneyg007
      @sydneyg007 5 місяців тому

      Thanks Andrew! Can't imagine ever having an issue with the HVIL resistors - there's never going to be much current going through them. The airbag resistors on the other hand will have a decent surge if the airbag is triggered (although there will be much larger concerns if that happens). :)

    Do you foresee any issues arising from OTA updates or will you keep it on its current version and not update?

    • @sydneyg007
      @sydneyg007 5 місяців тому

      It hasn't updated since 2021 (2021.4.3) so very old! I think that the security certificate has expired and a higher access Toolbox version needs to be used to resolve this (which I don't have access to). The downside is that I don't get all the new features and improved UI that come with later firmware updates. The upside is that Tesla can't disable fast charging through firmware updates.
