@@jasonposts672 lol you don’t understand what clickbait means. I’m glad you’re promoting rainman rays repair channel. I don’t have enough subscribers for your comment to drive people to rainman, if you feel it’s taking too long jump around, or hit 2x on the speed. Total views on the video is under 1000, and you call it click bait.

This is what I used. It says perminate, for me it has come off easily, but take your own risks: a.co/d/btQBG7k

Thanks! I’m glad I could help out!

Thanks I’ll check them out!

@@mhwallstreet I’m happy that I sold it and I now have the legit adapter.

That’s what I did on my 3 and my Y. Not sure if it’s the best route to go but I use a hose to clean the radiator fins on my AC unit for my house, so I figured I’d do the same here. Just be sure to not get water on the electronics! 😆

I would suck it out, then do the water. Sucking it out will remove the large leaf litter/garbage that’s collected in there. Then the water can push the smaller dirt particles through. I bet you could also spray some fin cleaner in there too.

Great points. Thanks for your comment.

I got mine off eBay. They’re also on alibaba, Amazon, search for drier cleaning hose.

2017 and 123k miles.

I can’t make everyone happy.

Keep me posted if your mcu1 gets the fsd branch. I never was able to get it so I upgraded to mcu2.

It’s been great. It is a Tesla OEM strut, I’m not sure I would go 3rd party.

@@teslamike7476 where did you find oem for 200 bucks on ebay?

I just searched for it and it came up so I bought it.

Good point?

And thanks for the video. Very helpful.

Both sides can be changed. I should have changed it in the video. That was a swing and a miss on my part.

@@teslamike7476 yes I figured that now too. It doesn’t let me pick everything I want on each side though and the middle is set. My main screen (MCU1) also looks different. Got an 2015. I love though how the navigation view automatically changes to a car view once you are at destination. They really did a nice job at Tesla designing the functionality. Thanks for the video by the way. Super helpful.

@winstonwolfe2537 no problem at all. That’s the entire purpose of the channel is just to help people learn about the cars. :)

Welcome.

Sadly no. But you can see the high and low voltage along with the cac imbalance.

The backup vs non back up is the location where you install the gateway and powerwalls. If you install your gateway between the meter and your load center, then you can enable back up mode as the gateway will monitor your power usage and can off set that by sending power from the powerwall.

@teslamike7476 Thank you very much for the reply I understand that now I don't have much idea at the minute on how to wire it up I am searching online to try find what connects where from battery to the gateway I bought the battery and have just bought the gateway for it so can I connect the solar panels to the battery and from the battery to an inverter as a stand alone system or is the battery ac 240v mains input only? Which im guessing it is I wish I had a simplified wiring diagram

@BREN2009 what I did is I connected my battery into the load center with a 32 amp breaker and 6awg wire (over sized the wire). Then from the powerwall I ran a 16 gage 6 wire to the gateway. Thats how the gateway talks to the powerwall to tell it to charge or discharge. The gateway sits between my electrical meter and my load center. Where I removed the 0000 aluminum wires from the service panel, and plugged those into the gateway. I then ran new wires from the gateway to the service panel. That put me into “back up mode” as the solar panels feed a breaker that’s in my load center. You do need to run CTs to your solar wires which then plug into your gateway so the gateway knows when power is being generated from the panels.

@teslamike7476 Thank you so much. Honestly, you are the only person so far I have talked to that knows about the wiring. What do you mean by load center? Is this my house consumer unit with the breakers in? or what ever load im powering ? Also The 2 heavy quick connect connections on the battery circuit board are damaged so I will have to source and re solder 2 new ones on I have tested with my multimeter the heavy cable coming out of the battery and it was showing something like 4v then crept down to 0 so either the cells are totally discharged or some are damaged or maybe the battery isolates internally when the board is unplugged? I'm not sure I hope once connected it will charge back up I see 2 push buttons on the battery circuit board is this a safety isolter switch once the cover is removed? I'm confused i see a sticker that says the battery is 50v and on a youtube video It says this battery is 500vdc so is it 50v or 500v? Me thinking it was relatively safe to play with, but 500v, I'm sure I'd get a nice belt off that if not careful I can rewire a house so I have an understanding of how to not get shocked learned the hard way at the minute I have the battery circuit board removed and the gateway but I'm not sure how to connect them together if I took a video would you show me how to wire it or message me on WhatsApp or email I will pay you if you will show me how to wire it so could I connect it to my mains so it will use the solar power day time and then solar battery on a night and it will knock my electric bill down without having to mess around with professionaly installation certificates or of that's too messy just a stand alone system the same but connected to its own isolated circuites in the house to say run my lights sockects apart from my oven microwave kettle any that takes lots of power

@BREN2009 the battery circuit board inside of the powerwall is damaged? Also keep in mind that I’m no expert. I’m just a guy that did it once and stated what I did. Make sure to look at teslas documentation for details on how to do it. :). (Take on your own risk in other words)

I didn’t. I got it off eBay.

@@teslamike7476 Was it a brand new one for $200 on ebay or used one? Can you please share us links on ebay for this part for 200?

It was a one off.

It’s a 2017 with mcu2. MCU1 doesn’t have the ability to add a stop.

The codes self fix when the issue goes away. What code are you getting?

​@@teslamike7476 STOOPID. That one bothers me.😂

I agree. Great point and thanks for commenting.

In happy to help.

I didn’t. They plug in from the back of the bumper. Remove the bumper or nose cone and plug the sensor back in.

Only in service mode plus or mcu2. MCU1 doesn’t allow it?

I’m glad it was helpful.

I would put your off peak ends at 6:45 am. :). Then the car is done by then.

Well done! The first time I did it on mine I wasn’t sure if I put enough grease into it. It started to squeak a few months later so I added a lot more.

I’ve often wondered the same. My guess is as the wall chargers moved to 48 amps it wasn’t a logical decision to buy a wall charger if it only offered 8 additional amps. So drop the mobile chargers by 8 amps and the wall charger would give an extra 16 amps.

lol in your reality cruise control Keeps the car in its lane? Adjusts the cars speed when it detects a vehicle infront of it? Prevents acceleration when it detects that it might hit something?

Don't forget changing lanes by itself by doing the turn signals.

What you describe is just adaptive cruise control and lane centering. "Autopilot" is just a marketing term that I personally would only use for the full self driving option.

I hope my videos help out!

It’s right under the main screen above the cubby. I have another video pointing out the location that you might find helpful.

I haven’t. I’ll give it a watch.

You’re right. It was one of my first videos and I was really nervous making it.

Inflation really sucks that’s for sure.

They are getting 12,000 new orders for Cybertruck every day. I don't think they are worried.

Thanks for the suggestion Next time I replace the filter I’ll make sure to do so.

Try testing your sensors and see if you find a failed sensor. It’s more than likely unplugged.

Will test it tomorrow. It seems the ice melted :) @@teslamike7476

It would be a nice feature to have.

Nvm looked at some other videos and it 100% is. I was there the other day! (I thought I recognized that floor haha)

It is!
