I have a gen 2 tesla charger with ver3 board. Everything is working great!! But now I want to do some modification to software, and possibly hardware, to make the EVSE contactor stay on. The reason for this is that I want the battery heater/cooler stay on even if charging is off. (It can run on AC ...

Manual torque vectoring

modern awd cars use a variety of schemes for power distribution to all 4 wheels. Multiple diffs, clutch packs, viscous couplings, dccd, hydro e-brakes, ebs... now I’m interested in the concept of eventually running a duel motor set up, front and rear. Having manual control over the torque of each mo...

OpenPilot/“ self driving “ tech in old cars

I’m sure many of you have heard of openPilot, https://comma.ai/ it’s a Opensoure (but not open data) self driving car tech. it’s states to be roughly on par with Tesla’s current auto driving capabilities.

Re: Tesla Charger Support Thread

Since announcing that I was stopping supply of built boards for Tesla I have had a storm of emails and contacts from people begging me to reconsider. Now, the problem of small volume board building is not something that many people encounter. I won't go into the painful details but trust me it's no...

Re: Leaf powerd lifted Subaru BRAT

I can get some of the Tesla HV wiring and HVJB for 175 cad, not sure if I really need it at this point. The Model S/X HVJB is a very convenient way of wiring HV connections at low cost. If you can get the HV wiring then you have halved the number of HV terminations you need to make. Also offers ver...

Re: Simp BMS

I’ve gotten my hands on a Gen2 volt battery for next to nothing, interested in using simpbms. Being no one (from my diging across the net) has really sniffed the canbus on the Gen2 bms, I’m thinking of wiring a up a gen1 bms to the gen 2 battery, and use simpbms. Thoughts? also picked up a Tesla Gen...
