Given that they use the same inverter form factor - what's the status of the model 3 open inverter replacement board? How feasible would it be for us to use two of them to run the plaid drive unit?

your whole method of doing this is super cool, Id love for more details as ideally I too would want to control the unit unmodified via just canbus if possible ....


We've decided to table this for the time being. It doesn't seem like we're going to be able to control _any_ unit with the methods ...

Huh, that's interesting. I need to try to order some parts direct from Tesla and see what I can and can't get. Ebay is likely still the cheaper option, but if we can get some stuff directly from them, that'd be good to know.


I just signed up with our business information... i'll report back on ...

haha - understandable

This argument is silly to me. Couldn't I just used the commercially available solutions out there to steal a car anyway?

Which CANbus does this call and response come across? Speaking from the inverters point of view there's a "Party CAN" and "Vehicle CAN". I'm currently doing a man in the middle on the vehicle CAN but wonder if I should also be on the party can.

As for legal issues with Tesla - I figure if we just ...

I’m happy to share more logs from the model 3 for help. The cryptographic pairing is unfortunate. But I should be able to get my inverter running via can snooping and emulating the rest of the vehicle right?

Has anyone documented the firmware update via CAN yet?

I’m happy to be very open with any ...

Hey guys - first time posting here, this thread seemed like the right place.

I have an interesting project that some friends and I are working on. We have a rear drive unit from a plaid that we'd like to get working without swapping any hardware, we want to control it with CAN and whatever methods ...
