Where are you? Can you help me repair the Model 3?

Amateurs trying to reverse engineer how a car was assembled is not representative for how Tesla does it.

Great tunes

too much what a nightmare no way ..................

I've done (and documented) several motor and transmission swaps in my driveway and I don't see one thing here that would be any more difficult than those. Cherry pickers are cheap and common because most engines come out through the top, but I can easily see in 20 years once EV's are common and the used ones are common that people will start manufacturing and selling large foldable "EV battery jacks" just like they manufacture and sell large foldable cherry pickers, and doing one of these in a driveway with tractor jackstands and a bottle jack will be as easy as doing a transmission R&R with a transmission jack. By then, aftermarket batteries will be in the $2000 range (today's pricing) People need to remember that the first automobile was sold in 1898 and it was a decade before the first Model T was sold. The model T was deliberately designed with the simplest designs possible to both save money and make it easy for the consumer to repair. But cars prior to that were expensive and parts were difficult to get and expensive. However, what made the Model T cheap was that an existing infrastructure of steelmaking and wiremaking and all of the rest of it already existed. What the EV industry really needs to take off is a cheap EV that's simple and cheap to repair and has comparable range (400 miles) to ICE vehicles. Tesla S have 400mi range but the cost of the battery pack makes the cost of the car high and the cost to do a major repair high. The battery pack is so expensive because it's the only part in the car that lacks an existing infrastructure. So when you buy a Tesla or other EV battery you are paying for the entire infrastructure of mining lithium and processing it into batteries in large quantities, which currently does not exist. We WILL get there folks it is just an issue of waiting until the cost of the battery infrastructure has been paid for and the infrastructure built up. Just be patient.

What ended up happening with the car?

Good soundtrack men!

Thanks for sharing. It’s not an easy work.

Entire interior. Nah. All easy except for the dash. Would have been even easier with a proper lift

hi how long does it take to remove battery pack?

There's a car company in China the car doesn't even come with a battery you pay a monthly fee can you take the car do you like a garage staying in a robot changes the battery out in like 10 minutes when it needs charged and all the batteries are like on a conveyor belt thing I thought it was a pretty cool idea because in China everybody lives in a high rise there's no way you're going to have enough superchargers I had to come up with other ideas

My friend w as quoted £4000 to spray the hood because the garage said they had to isolate the 400v Does that make any sense to you?

Where are y’all located at?? I may drop my Tesla off there for replacement?

Dude, use a tripod! Or a camera stabilzer. Your hand held panning had me dizzy! I couldn't watch the video and that's not good.

It's a great design kinda like a giant cellphone

if the engineers can design it better so you can swap out batteries in 5 to 10 minutes, that would make ev more viable

Okay, to change out the battery pack, all seats and carpet needs to come out. Bad design.

Gezocht voor scootmobiel ! ! ❤

All the comments saying it is so much work lol try swapping a duramax Diesel engine. That’s way way more work then this. This looks easy. Done in a day

Compared to replacing an engine and or transmission on an ice car it seems a good bit less complex. Not easy for sure but not overly complex. Not sure how difficult it is to replace the motors or if any other component is prone to failure.

Hello I have to work on the chassis and welding on a tesla Y I over know how to turn off the high voltage thank you

You can get the original battery from Tesla, it’s actually not that expensive. I want to say $85 new

Wow crying over a fee nuts and bolts and some hoses. Looks real hard 😂

I did a Chevy Volt battery replacement I guess it’s somewhat same idea. They are both liquid cooled I assumed Tesla uses coolant as well. I would guess it’s also a lot heavier. The Chevy volt is around 400 pounds. It uses LiPo battery though not Lithium Ion. The Chevy volt required initialization once installed but pretty much straight forward. Of course all codes need to be cleared though. My procedure was somewhat the same I lowered the car onto a metal table and then loosen the bolt same like you all did. The Chevy Volt battery is shaped like a T

Let’s be honest here. You know very well a man as smart as Elon Musk could easily put a battery like that in the trunk of his design and make it 10X easier to replace. So this means there’s a reason it’s so difficult to remove. And I believe it’s done like this for the same reasons Apple doesn’t want you to repair your own phone anymore. So that you have to take it to Tesla and pay them another $22,000 to replace the dam battery!

will never buy this crap

bet you could get a battery swap down to a couple hours with two guys

Stop moving the camera all around. In and out dude to side very annoying

This is why battery replacement is so expensive. It's so much work.

This is insane.

Wrecker drivers man They don’t give af

Can I power my house for few hours with that (it a big house )

I can't imagine that up here in rustbelt. All that plastic would do is hold the snow and salt to the mounting bolts and frame. In 4-5 years it would be seized solid and the frame starting to rot

so the weight isn't the battery... its all the damn bolts🤣

And now what. The owner has to buy a new battery?? Or the car is going to the trash can??

Many suggestions to use the battery as a 'powerwall' ... this is something I'm interested in as I'm researching this project just now using an LR Model 3 battery pack but I'm finding it difficult to find info on how to set it up. For example, how to charge the pack when not in a car. The pack consists of 4 x 96v modules in series giving 380v output. I know when in the car a 240v AC supply can be used (in the UK) and I can produce a 240v AC input with either an overnight cheap rate grid connection or a diesel generator but cannot find out if the battery electronics in the 'penthouse' processes that supply for charging or if it is processed in the cabling/plug/socket and sends a prepared supply to the battery pack ready for charging. Also are the monitoring/control electronics in the 'penthouse' self contained i.e. they work without a connection to the car or are they only 'switched on' when receiving some form of signal from the car. I'm particularly thinking here of the BMS. If both issues are bad news I will have to explore disconnecting the 4 modules and treating them as 4 independent 96v packs but that will mean finding a way to connect up a BMS! Grateful for any thoughts/help or sources that may be able to help.

The thing is Tesla does most their own car repairs, their design flaws were exposed to hell this video, why would the Elon Musk with all of his infinite wisdom make his workers tear the whole car apart just to change a battery? Can't be that smart, i wouldn't buy any of their shares anyway they are definetly a bubble.

4 connector voltage to remove the coil

Only problem the hex to remove the modules

Guess I won't be buying a Tesla

what's the point of the removal guide if you can't DIY at home? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Very informative! Suggestions on refilling coolant after battery replacement as the octovalve could make it hard to fill the coolant lines completely without air even with a vaccum refill tool?

Really cool. Can you give caracteristics of batteries pack ? Voltage and Amperage of each pack ? Have you put it in house yet ?👌🙂

Thanks. Sorry to see that Tesla is trying to do like Apple on intentionally making it impossible to repair DIY. Taking our right to repair away from us buyers. Should be forbidden by law.

Very nice guide . Now , I know I will never do it.

Why does this Tesla have a oil filter ?

Watching this made me hate tesla more than I already do

Must be serious weight on that unit

Yeah not buying a Tesla

Why did the car have ANTIFREEZE?
