My 2000A PyroFuse BLOWN on my Tesla !!!!

This Is the main Fuse on a Tesla

Thats incredible you figured that out, and after all that work! Love your content, you're an insanely smart man! Keep it up!

[IceBergGeo]

Great job locating the issue! Now hopefully you'll get some more stuff going with it.

[bobweiss]

Do you REALLY think that 2000A fuse pops for no reason? Most likely, you have shorted components in the inverter, and putting a new fuse in will just blow another fuse (which doesn't look like a cheap part in and of itself). I would be hunting down the root cause of the fuse blowing before installing a new one...

Bolt a huge solid copper bus bar there. Thug. Life.

[jason-genr]

Well a blown fuse is a symptom of a problem; seldom the problem

[derekkchung]

What year is your S? Trim level? Any messages on dash? Any way to test it is blown before taking the HV battery off? Where else could a Pyro fuse be for S? Is there also a 12V big fuse too? We want to see the indication / confirmation before taking things apart.

[gaborcsontos]

Can you please tell me the part number of those fuses at the bottom please?

[dorhocyn]

Are you able to buy another one from Tesla? I have a hard time navigating their websites to try to get parts.. I have been able to see parts and part number listings but I can’t seem to figure out a way to order them. I have been able to download a manual for free though.

What kind of lithium cells are they using? I love the new Toshiba scib 10ah LTO batteries they are crazy sick 30c constant 75c rate peak discharge I've pulled 1000 amps at 2.9v charge 2.3v nominal she surprised me big time!

I'm glad I am not the only one eating my yoghurt while working on cars :-)

[jpalm]

you working without HV protection equipment?

[volvo]

Does the computer decide when to pop it?

[scottmarshall]

They don't blow by accident. Find out why before you install the new one. Seems human nature to put in a new fuse just to watch it blow - it confirms THERE IS a problem, which is fine with a 2 buck fuse, but that's NOT a 2 buck fuse....

[jabroski]

Damn I have always wanted a Tesla but If it ain't reliable I don't

[rickyjb]

Will you take it apart to show the inner workings ?

[TNNSSE]

This is the kind of bullshit I tell people about when they ask my why I'd never own a Tesla 😂

[frankorobinson]

Why wouldn't they use a circuit breaker in a easy place to to get to 😮

[christopherleubner]

These do not blow for no reason. Check the output cables for a short.😮

[kevintucker]

Looks like this car was in high water at some point.

[osem]

Bro are you a mechanic? If yes I would like to ship out my tesla to you please
