Comments please on 057 Tech' marketing info
Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2022 8:52 am
Morning,
As said in my other thread, I needing to order the SDU so I'm researching options and suppliers as much as possible.
What's the general view about the claims made by 057 Technology? Fair comments or pure marketing BS?
I can see the advantages of not breaking the seals / opening up the SDU. But are the claims about efficiencies accurate too? Is their controller as good as / better than other options? Are there compromises for using an "external" control unit like theirs?
Thanks for any knowledge you can pass on.
Regards,
Jim
Here's the section from the email I received -
All of that said, our control systems are designed to be easily utilized in any conversion. They can be used to run our Tesla drive unit packages with as little as a HVDC connection (main battery), a 12VDC connection (12V battery), accelerator pedal (included), and two simple 12V inputs (brake pedal switch, DRIVE gear button). A full base set of wiring is included, and the controller has several predefined wired inputs for gears and other control as well as outputs for basic status (brake light, reverse light, current gear, etc). They can also be used with more advanced features and control via a CAN interface, and the 12V level inputs and outputs are fully configurable via the CAN interface. Our system is so simple to use out of the box that many of our customers have their drive units up and running for testing the same day they receive it!
Please keep in mind that, unlike systems seen elsewhere, our drive unit packages do NOT replace the Tesla inverter controller. This is a huge benefit over every single other "solution" claiming to control Tesla drive units.
Why? Because replacing the inverter controller is not only bad for performance and efficiency compared to the correct original unit, it can also be dangerous and result in damaged components or worse. We've had several customers come to us after trying inverter replacement setups for Tesla drive units, only to run into either a complete disaster (blown inverter, for example), or when they find out they can't get anything close to the performance or efficiency these drive units are capable of even in stock Tesla vehicles.
No one knows Tesla's hardware better than, well, Tesla. Removing their hardware and software from the drive unit means you're throwing away nearly a decade of R&D into making the best possible controls for these motors. Tesla's inverter controller is the best in the business with the best reliability, safety, performance, and efficiency available.
Our control system retains the original Tesla inverter controller hardware. In most cases we never have to open the drive units at all, ensuring the coolant seals, high and low voltage connections, and other components remain in their original factory condition. We've completely reverse engineered both the hardware and software of the Tesla drive units and are able to offer our packages, including our unique SPORT PLUS package, with truly astounding performance that actually delivers, without removing and replacing a core component that makes these drive units the best to begin with.
We have several customers who have already put 50,000+ miles on vehicles running our drive unit packages. Our setups are geared towards performance while retaining long term reliability.
Long story short, don't fall for inverter replacement solutions. For the highest performance and most reliable electric motor setup for your project, there simply is nothing better than our Tesla drive unit packages.
