Wacky. Glad that somehow an accidental drive-off isn't possible anyway. I haven't gotten time to get back to this project yet. The car is too busy being a daily driver to return to project car status, in combo with a since acquired '22 IONIQ 5. But it does have excellent new tires that are not run-f...

Of note, I've identified the "drive inhibit" pin on the OBC.

Ahh, the last little piece falls into place... . That's excellent, thank you.

Sorry for the delay in response. Traveling when this came in. This is a fantastic summary and answers that fundamental question I couldn't wrap my head around. > we can either work with the existing system (ie let Tesla's hardware and software control the contactors, battery conditioning, fans, etc....

Ok, this gets me closer (and a fun blog to read and return to). Thanks!

Without going full zombieverter, can one add CHAdeMO to any EV?

It’s true I won’t be able to read CHAdeMO specific messages from the BMS. I don’t know what I don’t know: how standardized are state of charge related BMS messages otherwise?

The car finally came home with a shiny new (refurbished motor of someone else's heartache core charge really...) LDU. New enough even that it needed a new controller board and looks a bit different to the old one, although I don't have great pictures of the old one, so I'm not too certain about that...

Probably any new version of MB or Rav4 EV LDU are just Tesla's latest LDU revision #s. MB/Rav4 EV volume is much smaller than Model S so likely they will track LDU rev slower. Makes sense. With a few thousand MBs (and I think a similar number Toyotas) in North America, that's not a lot of incentive...

I have confirmed that Mercedes-Benz is using a newer configuration of the Tesla LDUs in their replacements for 2017 and earlier B250e. This is the part: https://web.archive.org/web/20221205200956/https://mbparts.mbusa.com/oem-parts/mercedes-benz-remanufactured-electric-drive-242340420184 And here is...

I am a total newbie here and discovered the forum maybe a week ago, and finally discovered the wiki a few days ago (maybe independently of the structural change? I'm not sure). I run a technical forum elsewhere on the web with some friends, colleagues, and collaborators, so it has been fun to do a d...

As you may see in another post, I am one of the many victims of the inevitable decline of a Tesla Large Drive Unit. In my case, as you may have surmised from this topic subject, said LDU is in a 2017 Mercedes-Benz B250e. I am fortunate enough to have had a good after-market warranty, and the car may...

Hi All, this is quite the thread and breakdown on the LDU. I'm recent 2017 MB bclass owner (b250e), and would you know it: it failed in the way one might predict, 3 or so weeks into owning it. Fortunately, while the seller isn't my favorite car vendor these days, they did provide an extended warrant...
