i've always wanted to ask a firefighter, when you guys show up to a vehicle on fire, why THE hell do you guys take an axe to a frond hood or a tailgate instead of pressing 1 button and lifting/opening it ? like, it gets you guys off to spend 20 minutes destroying a door/hood when you can press 1 button and open it in 1.5 seconds ? Respectfully
@NickDrzr Tesla has documents for each of their cars on how to handle a fire in the vehicles. It goes over where all the safety features are, how to disconnect the battery, and what not to do. It's pretty interesting even just as an owner. I recommend reading them. They are more like a one-pager that firefighters can keep in their trucks and pull out.
@@macabru999 There are thousands of different cars, each having a button or handle in different place. You have no guarantee the button or handle will be working for many reasons. Every time you have to enter any part of your body inside a wrecked car its a risk, its better to take an axe and deal with it.
@@macabru999 Some bonnet cables or tailgate cables (or electrical connection if electric button) can burn or break in the collision or fire after. You will find a lot of bonnet cables snake from under dash around outside of car under the guard (or inside engine bay next to guard) to the bonnet latch - same if electric solenoid. After 1 fire I had, I was taught to pull the bonnet latch but DO NOT OPEN the bonnet itself. It even worse when the latch hook or puller itself is never in the same place.
I'm an electrician, that clicking sounds like a contactor (repeatedly coming on and off). I was glad seeing you using the gloves and also proper voltage testing before changing the fuses. I'm not sure your multimeter can actually read DC amp with the clamp and that battery is DC.
I don't think that US$15 Harbor Freight clamp meter does DC. A good pro hall effect DC clamp meter will measure DC. If someone is using a Harbor one, they probably won't know how to use a DC one like Fluke makes. (US$400)
Yeah, Mechatronic engineering tech, thought the same. As soon as the back-emf of the contactor coils ends theres just too much current for the jump pack. Same affect as a starter solenoid (basically the same thing lol)
I'm not an electrician, but to my knowledge when the contactor goes on, then the 48v system will begin to charge. Having a 12V battery connected to a 48V charger made me a bit nervous.
Electricians use "metal" screwdrivers, just your typical chrome molybdenum or chrome vanadium steel, but typically with a VDE certification and tested that the insulation is good to 10,000V and rated for 1000V AC use, but you can typically use what you wish, just don't complete a circuit and you'll be fine 😅
Retired electrical engineer here. I have experience working around 480VAC 3-Ph & also electronic circuits. The Centech CC300 has no DC Amp measuring capability; it's AC Amps only. The HV orange cables could be AC or DC; the main battery is DC. The motors are AC. Cybertruck battery is 4 x 200V units in series. Switch inside allows switching between parallel and series to optimally charge at 400V and 800V.

That 48V battery might still be good, and just need a BCM reset. My Model Y couldn't charge the Tesla Li-ion battery is because the 15.5V CATL BCM had disconnected the battery internally (to prevent over discharging). I needed to reset that internal BCM, which required "Power Off" on the Safety screen, then turning the car back on. I did that twice, and the CATL BCM reset, and the 15.5V jump pack was no longer needed. PS, I love that you are doing what other hot rodders are scared to do. EVs can be fast too!
If it's anything like certain e-bike and scooter battery packs, the BMS/BCM completely isolates the cells from charging and discharging if they get below a certain voltage, I think its a safety/liability thing where seriously discharged cells can overheat and catch fire if you try recharging them (something to do with metal dendrites growing and creating a short circuit inside the cells, don't remember the exact details)

You guys who work in the Ford parts department really struck it lucky to have a part like that in stock even though it's now backordered. laud the skies
You need a DC clamp-meter. The WInApex 268B is a really low-cost unit with good DC resolution. You always need to Zero DC clampmeters as they are sensitive to earth's magnetic field as well as other nearby metalwork.
That amp meter is useless, especially since it was set on AC. If that one isn’t capable for DC without putting a meter in series then get a DC compatible clamp. Glad there was really no current and nobody got hurt. Love the vids!
Thank you for breaking down all the Troubleshooting you are doing. Very cool seeing the tech behind these vehicles. I also have a cyber truck coming 🎉🎉

Kyle you don’t have to apologize for the electric content. Us die hard fans knows that the electric constant is a cash cow to make money to then pour into the other projects.

That error code is likely due to the power steering system. It is drive by wire and has three sensors. if two read differently than the third it will default to what the two read but throw an error code. Might be due to the crash damage. Good luck with the rebuild and love the EV content especially the Plaidisy stuff.

It is interesting that the footage shows that the Cybertruck turned left into oncoming traffic and then got hit. There does not appear to be traffic mitigation (stop sign, traffic lights, roundabout, etc.), so this seems to have been a preventable accident caused by the Cybertruck. You may want to confirm if that footage was shared with their insurance provider because, if not, posting it here could significantly change any claim payouts they are expecting.

I'm a 66yo Australian, I didn't want this video to end. I find it fascinating, although I'm an old school car nut bought up on the smell of fossil fuels and brake dust !!! I remember fondly as an 18 yo, my Dad finding top dead centre of the piston in my first car by sticking a 1/4 inch dowel rod in the spark plug hole and turning it over and marking the stick with a texta. Seems just like yesterday, boy do I miss him.
Thanks guys great to see the truck actually moving under it's own power progress has been made. Good on you Kyle your research and connections ( both Physical and Electrical ) makes things happen.
Is there a pyro fuse for the 48v system? Judging by the fact the other battery was dead dead, I'd guess its not getting charged from the HV battery. So you'll probably end up draining your new battery too. For the ribbon cable you could take the cable out at each end and check for continuity of each copper trace, at each end, with a multimeter to make sure its not damaged. PS you can probably revive that other 48v battery (split the case open, and charge each of the cells to 4 to 4.2v volts. You can use a TP4056 with some alligator clips on the wires to clip onto them. It will charge and stop charging automatically. Might take a while to do each cell individually.) Then it might accept a charge from the main battery (once you've sorted the other issues that is). Most battery packs are made up of individual cells, and a battery management system (BMS). If the cell voltage gets too low, the BMS wont allow any charging of the pack no matter what you try. Thats why directly charging the cells individually just to bring them back to an acceptable voltage, will usually please the BMS into turning on / accepting a charge.
They checked the voltage at the battery cable, the vehicle is putting out the voltage needed to charge the 48v battery, the problem was the 48v battery that came with the truck was dead dead and wasn't accepting a charge.
@@rgreerjr Li-Ion cells must be trickle charged once the cell voltage has dropped too low. Maybe the BMS was trickle charging the cells and would not provide an external voltage until it has reconditioned the cells. The battery likely has 12 cells in series and would begin charging at ~37 VDC, and requires up to 51 VDC to reach 100%.
Honestly I like what boostedbois is doing with this channel. I discovered it from the Plaid build videos, and without this new electric car content I don't think there'd be a lot to differentiate them from other car channels. It's unique, and it makes working on electric cars a lot more tangible. I love the content!! Keep it going 🙏🙏
One little issue when you were checking for current before changing the fuses is as follows Whenever you check for voltage or current with a meter and don't get a reading, youust then check for voltage or current on a know live source to ensure you meter is on fact working properly. A pretty damn important step you missed! ⚡

Thanks for these videos! I'm a car guy by heart that owns a Tesla and so many automotive channels are all "Teslas are dumb, etc" so it's nice to see you diving into them!
The truth is most of us do not have the scratch to buy a cybertruck or fast T, so living vicariously though someone tearing in to them is interesting. The views for these on the boiz channel tells the truth, they are getting way more than the little 4 banger H videos.
@@k3mikal most actual car guys don't think teslas are dumb and we respect peoples choices. It'd be boring if we all built and drove the same shit. But we think they're kinda soulless except for being a daily that accelerates quick. And alot of us don't have a charging infrastructure to support them. I have an electric dirtbike that's rad and doesn't piss of my neighbors, I'm for some EVs but there will always be a need for IC vehicles
Just caught your last video of getting this from the original owner. I have to say this version (wrecked) of a Cyber truck and you guys figuring it out to fix/repair it after being "totaled" ("joke of the century") is more interesting and eyes glued to the set (in my case laptop) than any others picking these things up and driving them (after Tesla just says here's the keys, good luck!). Thumbs up and Sub'd today!
Definitely pay attention to the expiration date on those gloves. They will expire and need to be replaced with new ones as the rubber has a given life for the protection they are made/rated for. Saw those kinds of gloves doing my job as the one industrial electrician had them and asked about them. He does the very high volt 600+ and three phase work. Remember kids, electricity ALWAYS wants to kill you, don't give it the chance to try!
Forget the nay sayers. If this project brings you joy, I'm happy for you. It is pretty cool watching you on your journey of discovery. Thanks for sharing!
A couple of Ideas 1. Switch from Fuses to Auto-Rest Circuit Breakers. 2. Even though Tesla's have Sentry Mode use a 3'rd Party Dashcam with ADAS (70Mai, DDPAI, Navman etc!) it can drop Insurance, Intergrated tend not to drop Insurance as if the car gets a bad update data might not be recorded or become corrupted! 3. Use Beading Window Wash/Cleaner apply to Windows as well as Reservoir. 4. Use Conformal Coating on Electric Circuits and Battery Connections etc. 5. Replace any Zip Ties for Electrics with Velcro (ZipTies) that you have to remove.

I was electrocuted back in December. I took 14,000 V to ground through my hand and out of my feet losing both big toes and most of my movement in my left hand. good job using proper PPE power is nothing to play with. loved watching your content, though while laid up in the hospital bed.💪🏼
Give it like a month and whistlindiesel will have a parts truck 🤣
I'm sure there will be lots of parts in good condition afterwards......😂
That thing's getting shredded and sold 1000%
@@kiko_meeko shredding a lithium battery of this size would be incredibly stupid. Probably would melt through the entire shredder and the ground beneath deep into the earth.
@@noobnoob8382 you underestimate him, he'll find a way
You guys who work in the Ford parts department really struck it lucky to have a part like that in stock even though it's now backordered. laud the skies
You need a DC clamp-meter. The WInApex 268B is a really low-cost unit with good DC resolution. You always need to Zero DC clampmeters as they are sensitive to earth's magnetic field as well as other nearby metalwork.
These EV's from Tesla are so complex. The engineering that goes into these is nothing short of mind boggling
why??
That amp meter is useless, especially since it was set on AC. If that one isn’t capable for DC without putting a meter in series then get a DC compatible clamp. Glad there was really no current and nobody got hurt. Love the vids!
Thank you for breaking down all the Troubleshooting you are doing. Very cool seeing the tech behind these vehicles. I also have a cyber truck coming 🎉🎉
Well it’s a truck 😂😂
Can't wait for more updates! As funny looking as the CT is, it has some really interesting bleeding-edge automotive tech underneath
The only CZcams car guy I watch who uses proper lighting. Everyone else has their phone out or pen light lol. I am with you bro. Light it up.
as a photographer i can say it somewhat triggers me to see other Ytbers using friggin photo lights for videos instead of getting Videography lights which are WAYYY different
and closer to a wall mounted like double neon
Bro took the names straight from a comment on his last video lol
And didn't even give them credit. lol
Damn son, they stole your comment from the last video too 😂😂😂
You call them names and then are mad they use them 🤔
@@xiukn8
Who's mad weirdo?
@@Rizzbulla go figure
A good electrical engineer does not let the smoke out.
I really dig that you are getting diversified. Getting smarter everyday.
“Critical Steering Issue” and my guy forgets he used a torch and pipe to bend the tierod so he could load it. I’d start there before you go on a wild goose chase.
lol love how the crash video shows the cyber truck cutting off the right of way traffic
I like how he takes the criticism positively and embraces it!
Really enjoying the tesla videos, it reminds me of rich rebuilds in the good old days
🤘😎👍
Already got it moving around!!! SICK!
EVs are coming, in the end it's still just nuts and bolts. Awesome shade tree mechanic vibe.
Kyle you don’t have to apologize for the electric content. Us die hard fans knows that the electric constant is a cash cow to make money to then pour into the other projects. So keep on making your money bro and get the other projects finished. I personally wanna see a mini drift truck and a track car build.
Right! Plus they got good personalities. It's not always about the content. Keep it real and eep up the hard work boys.
@@RowdySi i aint gonna lie this content is a nice change from his usual honda vids
Electric IS the future. 😁
@@tgregory Gotta make content for the masses.
@@rsamd oh yeah, then why when it was first done in 1888 did it not catch on?
Dude thanks man, I'm old school backyard mechanic and I appreciate your information, especially about electrocuting yourself, lol, I'll be watching keep doing what you're doing bro, I'm 58 years old, and I'm learning from you thanks 🤘
That error code is likely due to the power steering system. It is drive by wire and has three sensors. if two read differently than the third it will default to what the two read but throw an error code. Might be due to the crash damage. Good luck with the rebuild and love the EV content especially the Plaidisy stuff.
So, it was the old man's fault for pulling across traffic.
Looks like he made his left turn ...and then got trashed
CyberTruck wakes up from its Coma: "WHERES MY ARMS/DOORS! AHHHHHHH!"
Congrats on the 1st cyber truck crash rebuild,can't wait to see when it's done.
PLEASE, we NEED a "BatteryBoiz" Sticker and merch🤣, you know that would sell like hot cakes, especially if you parried it with an ev build giveaway or something
I thought the previous owner said in the last video that he wasn't at fault. Turned right in front of that Ford
Maybe they (Ford edge) ran a red light, people who are in the intersection waiting to turn are legally allowed to go aka clear the intersection if the light had gone red. Hope this helps. 👍
@@The_Chosen_None_ I understand legally they could be not at fault due to that, but you still gotta be an idiot to turn in front of a car that is about to run a red light or protected green turn
Didn't see any lights there..
@@The_Chosen_None_ It wasn't an intersection lol
Maybe that old man is full of shiiii 😂 @@jergunsjunk
Being a fella that just traded in my f150 twin turbo for a Tesla model 3 I am not missing a SECOND of this Tesla content!! Kilowatt Kyle for the win! 🔥🤣
The suspense is killing me. Can’t wait to see if you manage to fix it and what you are going to do with it. Also waiting for more Plaidessey V2 content. Glad to see that electric content gets you so much more views. Welcome to the future.
"Quick but brief damage assessment" had me fucking dead 😅
Ur tow truck content seems better than cleatus McFarlanes in my opinion 😂
Cleetus is a fake poser.
@@xploration1437 🤡
Nah you got horrible taste if you think that
@@xploration1437how is he, bro has more subscribers and gets more views than these boiz for a reason
@@Jacobtheunwise Id almost bet money he's going to tell you it's because apparently Cleetus isn't his real name and he's somehow conning rednecks by doing that 😂 the dude loves teslas so it makes sense he'd hate freedom but being butthurt he's under every Cleetus comment hating for something so dumb and picked probably the hardest CZcamsr to find fault in is childish and ridiculous.
I can't see me ever buying one of these because I like my ice powered cars, but I find this so interesting. Good work
With that purchase, i thinks its one of the most interesting channels out there atm !!!
you gotta drop a batteryboiz line of merch for all the ev & hybrid bois
Not here for the Tesla content but I watch anyways because I know it helps the other projects hahaha
No doubt. The man gave us a two step battle last vid. I’ll check out this one for pure respect
not really my thing either, but it's bb so I click
I can’t agree with you anymore, I hate the EV content but it does have its viewers and I’m here to support boostedboiizzzzz
1000%
Just running in the back ground
Seems like Kilowatts Kyle is already more knowledgeable than most Tesla mechanics 🤷😂
Wow that actually has a subwoofer! To bad Elon didnt go with bigger than an 8" 😂😂😂
It is interesting that the footage shows that the Cybertruck turned left into oncoming traffic and then got hit. There does not appear to be traffic mitigation (stop sign, traffic lights, roundabout, etc.), so this seems to have been a preventable accident caused by the Cybertruck. You may want to confirm if that footage was shared with their insurance provider because, if not, posting it here could significantly change any claim payouts they are expecting.
Right they may not know but I think his GP is already paid off
What a nice way to say that the truck cut in front of the Ford.
as a guy woorking in a Ford parts dept, you luckeddd out getting a part like that in stock while its on back order status. praise the heavens 🙏
So wie ein Mann, der in einem Ford Parts Dept wartet, kommt man glücklicherweise mit einem Teil wie diesem in Stock, während er im Back Order Status ist. praise the heavens
It's wild how far they've come with castings.
Im here for the boiz whether its battery or boosted
Tesla content, Love it. 👍
I'm a 66yo Australian, I didn't want this video to end. I find it fascinating, although I'm an old school car nut bought up on the smell of fossil fuels and brake dust !!!
I remember fondly as an 18 yo, my Dad finding top dead centre of the piston in my first car by sticking a 1/4 inch dowel rod in the spark plug hole and turning it over and marking the stick with a texta.
Seems just like yesterday, boy do I miss him.
Thanks guys great to see the truck actually moving under it's own power progress has been made. Good on you Kyle your research and connections ( both Physical and Electrical ) makes things happen.
Been watching for like 4 years and love all the electric stuff you're doing!
Also my phone went off at 10:46 and scared the shit out of me
Is there a pyro fuse for the 48v system?
Judging by the fact the other battery was dead dead, I'd guess its not getting charged from the HV battery. So you'll probably end up draining your new battery too.
For the ribbon cable you could take the cable out at each end and check for continuity of each copper trace, at each end, with a multimeter to make sure its not damaged.
PS you can probably revive that other 48v battery (split the case open, and charge each of the cells to 4 to 4.2v volts. You can use a TP4056 with some alligator clips on the wires to clip onto them. It will charge and stop charging automatically. Might take a while to do each cell individually.) Then it might accept a charge from the main battery (once you've sorted the other issues that is). Most battery packs are made up of individual cells, and a battery management system (BMS). If the cell voltage gets too low, the BMS wont allow any charging of the pack no matter what you try. Thats why directly charging the cells individually just to bring them back to an acceptable voltage, will usually please the BMS into turning on / accepting a charge.
They checked the voltage at the battery cable, the vehicle is putting out the voltage needed to charge the 48v battery, the problem was the 48v battery that came with the truck was dead dead and wasn't accepting a charge.
@@rgreerjr
Li-Ion cells must be trickle charged once the cell voltage has dropped too low. Maybe the BMS was trickle charging the cells and would not provide an external voltage until it has reconditioned the cells.
The battery likely has 12 cells in series and would begin charging at ~37 VDC, and requires up to 51 VDC to reach 100%.
Honestly I like what boostedbois is doing with this channel. I discovered it from the Plaid build videos, and without this new electric car content I don't think there'd be a lot to differentiate them from other car channels. It's unique, and it makes working on electric cars a lot more tangible. I love the content!! Keep it going 🙏🙏
I prefer the raw audio from the camera over the audio from using the microphone, it feels more authentic with all the background noise
One little issue when you were checking for current before changing the fuses is as follows
Whenever you check for voltage or current with a meter and don't get a reading, youust then check for voltage or current on a know live source to ensure you meter is on fact working properly.
A pretty damn important step you missed! ⚡
A BoostedBois livery on this would look sick 🔥
Glad to see you posting more of both ev and honda content
Someone prybar'd that connector out of it. Glad you got that back together. I know that sucked getting those pins back into their holes.
I'm impressed to see that CyberTruck move under its own power.
Don't listen to haters. This is amazing content right here! It's not ICE or EV. You can do both!!!
Watching you guys figuring out how to work on a whole new technology is awesome. I'm glad I found and subscribed to your channel.
1 There better be a taco bell run for first drive. 2 When yall are closing out the video i swear kyles about to say "and we'll freaking see ya later" like cleet lolol
I willing to bet money that that busted door could be reformed in a metal press and it can be polished back to new condition
Thanks for these videos! I'm a car guy by heart that owns a Tesla and so many automotive channels are all "Teslas are dumb, etc" so it's nice to see you diving into them!
No real car guy buys a Tesla.
The truth is most of us do not have the scratch to buy a cybertruck or fast T, so living vicariously though someone tearing in to them is interesting.
The views for these on the boiz channel tells the truth, they are getting way more than the little 4 banger H videos.
@k3mikal I'm right there with you, man
@@k3mikal most actual car guys don't think teslas are dumb and we respect peoples choices. It'd be boring if we all built and drove the same shit. But we think they're kinda soulless except for being a daily that accelerates quick. And alot of us don't have a charging infrastructure to support them. I have an electric dirtbike that's rad and doesn't piss of my neighbors, I'm for some EVs but there will always be a need for IC vehicles
Variety of content is good. Keep it coming.
Just caught your last video of getting this from the original owner. I have to say this version (wrecked) of a Cyber truck and you guys figuring it out to fix/repair it after being "totaled" ("joke of the century") is more interesting and eyes glued to the set (in my case laptop) than any others picking these things up and driving them (after Tesla just says here's the keys, good luck!). Thumbs up and Sub'd today!
Definitely pay attention to the expiration date on those gloves. They will expire and need to be replaced with new ones as the rubber has a given life for the protection they are made/rated for. Saw those kinds of gloves doing my job as the one industrial electrician had them and asked about them. He does the very high volt 600+ and three phase work. Remember kids, electricity ALWAYS wants to kill you, don't give it the chance to try!
I don’t know what’s gotten into you. If the adderall shortage is over or what but I’m happy to have my favorite channel pumping out content.
Lol bruh chill 😂
That Vyvanse shortage fucked me up too! 😅🤣
wait , am i on a Ryan Upchuck video???
😂😂
Forget the nay sayers. If this project brings you joy, I'm happy for you. It is pretty cool watching you on your journey of discovery. Thanks for sharing!
The cool factor is not the issue. The effectiveness and practicality as a work truck is the issue.
Welcome to this episode of battery bois… shit had me rolling
So cool to see it functional again.
Wyatts reaction is how most people feel lol
A couple of Ideas
1. Switch from Fuses to Auto-Rest Circuit Breakers.
2. Even though Tesla's have Sentry Mode use a 3'rd Party Dashcam with ADAS (70Mai, DDPAI, Navman etc!) it can drop Insurance, Intergrated tend not to drop Insurance as if the car gets a bad update data might not be recorded or become corrupted!
3. Use Beading Window Wash/Cleaner apply to Windows as well as Reservoir.
4. Use Conformal Coating on Electric Circuits and Battery Connections etc.
5. Replace any Zip Ties for Electrics with Velcro (ZipTies) that you have to remove.
Your delivery and presentation of what all's going on here, really shows how far you and this channel has come. You're kill'n it man don't ever stop!
that inro was fire!
I personally love the mix on your channel, ev videos welcome here
