    Tesla Branded g48 coolant?!!!!

    Well said! Exactly. I didnt use it because it was cheaper. I just have a bunch of it from solar hot water jobs. The parts in both the car, and solar hot water are similar. Plastic, aluminum, and rubber. Solar hot water systems actually use a circulator pump that is cast steel and I have never...

    Tesla Branded g48 coolant?!!!!

    Neither one is going to corrode. You don’t have to bargain hunt but you can be an aware consumer. These two fluids are one molecule different. One is safe to drink the other is not. The only difference. They both do the same exact job.

    Tesla Branded g48 coolant?!!!!

    I did a bit of research into this a while back. Another member here warned people of the dangers of using the wrong coolant. I honestly couldn’t find any reason why you can’t use either of the following.... I have a lot of experience with solar hot water systems. With those systems we use a...

    I love the car! So much so that my wife and I both have one. They have both been extremely reliable. Great car with lots of room inside.

    heater leak

    I had the same problem last year! For me the problem happened when the car would sit in my driveway, at a slight decline, for at least a day. I would hit the throttle to leave my driveway and if it rained that day water would pour into my dashboard and on each side of the floor. I took a video...

    Replacing battery contactors. Code clearing?

    I used the most expensive reader that harbor freight sold. It is the only one that will clear ABS codes. I did also have connection issues but it still allowed me to clear the ABS code that I had on my car. As for contactors, every contactor I have come across has been the same just a...

    Just purchased a 2012 w/ 2550 miles ~ I have questions

    I just read those and it appears that the only person discussed with the Bosch batteries in your examples is you. I didnt read any other negative comments from anyone else about the Bosch batteries. Bosch batteries are good and the way to go. Many hundreds of us use them.

    Replacing battery contactors. Code clearing?

    Wow sounds like you have done a lot of work on this. I have been inside the battery pack and I didnt see a pyrotechnic disconnect anywhere. I havent seen one anywhere else either. What Toyota codes do you need to clear? I purchased an OBD2 reader and I was able to clear an ABS code. The Toyota...

    "100%" charge=extended mode or regular mode?

    You know that you can turn extended range mode on or off right? It doesnt have to be on, you can leave it off and never use it if you are worried. Its been posted here many times but the biggest killers of lithium ion batteries are as follows. Fully charging the battery to 100%. Fully charging...

    Just purchased a 2012 w/ 2550 miles ~ I have questions

    The Bosch AGM 24F is the battery we all recommend. Its a direct replacement and easy to do. It sounds like you would be fine with a 120v charger. We have 2 ravs. Depending on what our travels are going to be like the following day, one of use will use the 240 plug and the othe will use the 120...

    Extended Charge not working

    I'm not sure where to start.. lol You arent cooking anything. The battery has a thermal management system that maintains temperature. But that is totally unrelated. Your battery's BMS will monitor the pack. You aren't going to some how give it more capacity than it has. If you are worried...
