Hybrids and EV

[dr. d]

Yun, if nasa winter areas ka, medyo masakit yung tingling ng static na yan.
Baka hindi maganda insulation ng mga electrical components nyan.

is the man-on-the-street's chinese reputation on quality control showing...?

[donski]

electricity leakage ...

Matindi wala atang proper insulator ang mga high voltage area ng saasakyan parang flyback ng TV

I would suggest being careful with websites, youtube channels, tiktok accounts, facebook pages, etc, which are not from legit news sources.

What happened to this place kaya? I remember they launched with a bang. Celebs pa and all that.

Their Website seems down since october ? Aren't they the ones importing Teslas ? I think i saw new model 3 last month around the neighborhood so they must have still existed by then.

[Dr.Kamiya]

They're not the only ones importing Teslas, they just happened to make a big event of their launch having celebrity endorsers and inviting a lot of media.
They even claimed to be an "official dealer/distributor" when there's no such thing since all official Tesla stores are company owned.

Hancars and Anis Electric Vehicles also bring in Teslas.
Anis in particular sells the Model 3 at P1M cheaper than EV Solutions PH.

Most of the Model Ss came in through other grey-market importers.

It sounds like a potential headache for the unlucky ones that got their units from EV solutions PH if they are no longer to be found. Would the other importers agree to support those units?

Good general advice, but I think any mainstream news from China and by China, which are known to censor or block negative publicity, is an exception to that rule. The only legit news (good or bad) we get out of them are often provided by independent news sources and even concerned local citizens.

EVs burning to the ground, fatal accidents.... to name some of the incidents you don't get to hear about from their "official" channels.

From recent motoring news. EV solutions recently inked a deal to distribute Vinfast EV cars.
At least this one is legit unlike their Tesla claims.

I think a problem with Tesla is that you cannot just plug an OBD or any computer in it to diagnose its errors or problems. I was told You need Tesla's official Service program(?) which is region/country locked. Since we don't have an official tesla presence here they are not allowing its use in our country. Not sure how ANIS, Ecomax and HanCars are doing their service for the Tesla.

less headache for them as they will get proper factory support for their cars

Ah that pivot makes sense.

From a group that spoke to ANIS they're getting their cars and equipment from China, and had their service crew trained there.

You need a Tesla account from the same region as the car in order to work on it, i.e. for a US-sourced car you need a US-based Tesla service account, but AFAIK access to service.tesla.com isn't region-locked. You can just go to service.tesla.com, click sign-in and choose your region from the drop-down to create an account. Either way it's just a website so should be easy enough to bypass any region locks using a VPN.



This video shows the "diagnostic tool" running straight off Tesla's service webpage with the laptop connected to the car via a special ethernet cable:

According to this video, you don't need to use a separate scanner as the car itself tells you what is wrong and what needs to be fixed.

Yes I believe "toolbox.tesla.com" is just going directly to a webserver running on the car itself which is why you need an ethernet cable plugged in before you can access it.
Meron lang single sign-on that needs to go through tesla's servers which is how they enforce their account and region restrictions.

Na solve naba ng most EV cars yung ayaw mag open ang hood if the 12v and main batteries are lowbat?
I think eto nangyari sa unfortunate customer ng Tesla nuon.
Ayaw na maopen ng mechanic yung hood to replace sana the 12v battery.

Some EVs still use mechanical locks pa din. And sa mga electronic locks, alam ko dapat may way pa din to open the hood through some levers.

But thats the service account that you need to subscribe right?

thats good if they find ways to bypass it.

the secret is in the battery.
everything else about the car, is about equal, dictated only by the whims of the manufacturer.
