Not stated on website was that the switch to prevent idle for more than 30 minutes, or the engine would shut off had to be disabled. With all the glitches, I spent about 8 hours on the update; but it does work now.

Hopefully, Tesla's download functions better.

Jon, When I did the Hydrogen Bus program for the USA and Canada, we had
the capability to upload software to the buses while they "were on the fly".

That was 20+ years ago.

Telsa causing deaths and crashing into buildings. We never had a single
software remote control issue on the Buses.

Either you know how to program properly or you don't.

Kilmer is Often full of his own BS.
That said, a company in NY is building a HUGE Lithium battery recycling center. OF course the state will tax it out of existence , but...
Battery issues are nearly 100% related to a bad BMS. can easily have good, safe batteries and cheap ass china crap to control them.
Thats whats out there in many cases.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
