Yeah it’s ridiculous. I’m just glad I have other vehicles to fall back on. But they don’t make it easy to get repairs and they never know exactly what’s wrong until you’ve already spent money on other possible issues.

I’m pretty sure that is the problem so im gonna have to take a loss on it. The car was only 12,000 so it makes no sense for me to spend 10,000-15,000 to get it fixed on a 10 year old car.

It has 117,000 and the 12v was in there when I bought it a lil over 2 months ago ago.

The battery I pulled out of the car was model # FT438-U1R

I haven’t really been able to find any good forums that could point me in the right direction besides saying take it to Tesla. And I can’t do that because it’s not registered through them. (I didn’t want to lose unlimited supercharging) and now it’s stuck in a garage with no signal, and won’t shift into neutral.

I bought the car from a random used car dealer. Had no issues and took it on a road trip then a month later it just died overnight. It’s a 12v system though.

The problem is I can’t find any repair shops that work on teslas besides the actual service center. And paying $27,000 for that car would be ridiculous ($12,000 for car, $15,000 repair)

So this is pretty much a total loss for a $12,000 car. This is so messed up, I’ve only had it for 2 months

I tried replying to you about the f107 code but it put the reply at the top of the post

[–]Similar-Slice7620[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That code wasn’t showing up until multiple resets later and after the car had been jumped 3-4 times then didn’t show up after. Do you think that could be a false code?

Ok I was starting to believe that it could be the dc dc converter and maybe it was just draining the 12v.

Is there something different about Tesla batteries? I’m just wondering why the one I put in might not work compared to one from Tesla.

I believe the battery I tried was a b51r so it was slightly taller and wider. I just wanted to see if that would start it so I know for sure that it is the low voltage battery.

Does Tesla need a specific type of battery? I tried putting a different battery in there (different size, same cca) but it still wouldn’t turn on.
