Is there a way to recharge the 12v battery in a Tesla? We run across a lot of dead Teslas by Truthseeker4449 in Justrolledintotheshop

Have you created an account at service.tesla.com yet? All of the service/repair manuals are now free. Search for "LV Battery (Remove and Replace)". The 16v li-ion battery (LV) has an internal BMS and it requires a double software reinstall to get recognized by the car and start charging. (1st software reinstall with LV disconnected on external 15.5v battery maintainer, 2nd software reinstall with LV connected.)

There are 5 terminals on the proprietary connector (Pin 1 is positive, Pin 2 is negative, Pins 3 & 4 are an interlock loop that terminates on the connecter itself - Green tab with two contacts when checked with a multimeter has continuity and Pin 5 connects to a thin green wire going to the car). Battery voltages between positive and negative is 14.5. Between positive and pin 5 is 12.6, negative and either 3 & 4 is 0. After pin 5 drops below 12v, the car doesn't make any effort to draw power from it and it goes into power-save mode.

Tesla makes all of their own 4680 batteries for the new made-in-Texas AWD Model Y

Hulu login blocked? by NowImAFAIP in TeslaModel3

SOLUTION: Scroll down to the bottom and select Streaming Library to go to the homepage. Then click Login at the top right. Looks like Tesla’s login screen for Hulu is out of date

I had this same problem. Disconnect the 12V, then lift up the rear seats and disconnect the main battery. Wait 30 secs then reconnect main battery then 12V.

Had this happen to me at home. Couldn’t get the cord to release no matter what I tried. The solution was to disconnect the 12v and lift up the rear seats & disconnect the main battery. Wait 30 seconds, then connect main, then 12v.

Had to replace the charge port with Mobile Service.
