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
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). :)
Unfortunately the car isn't talking to Tesla anymore so app isn't usable and doesn't update (but at least I have fast charging). It does have lifetime premium connectivity though so LTE is usefull!
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.
Congrats on it running and driving
Thanks! As you would know - solve enough problems and you get to drive! :)
Best EV build on the planet
Syd is the man 👍👍
YESSSSSSSSSSSS 🎉👍👍
a silent land Rover!!! 🎉🎉
A lot quieter than the Diesel that's for sure Geoff! Now I just need to make the power steering pump quieter!
Congrats

Do you have app access to this car? Is the car connected to LTE? Can the car software update? I have so many questions haha, I love this build!

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

Does that mean the app doesn't work with it if the security cert has expired?
Also did you add a capacitor in place of the front drive inverter?
@@broker260 Yes unfortunately. The car shows up on my app but no communication with it. :(
@@broker260 No extra capacitor needed luckily. Obviously the capacitor in the rear drive inverter is enough for the pre charge :).
You are missing an engine.
Oh no! Must have fallen out somewhere!
