I'm the owner of the Leaf Rex channel Cor mentioned earlier. I highly
caution against using PCB fuses in general, I've done testing on those

circuit voltage in the system you are trying to protect, it will
create a conductive
Well I assumed by disconnect you meant a manual one (e.g. big on/off
switch), which would still have to take all the power required through it.
That'd be the service disconnect I linked from EV West. The battery
management system would control the contactor, which also switches all of
the required
Suit yourself, I hope you are using protected 18650 cells. If not please
use one of these to protect the batteries from overcharging/undervoltage:

Not sure if you understood the previous 2 messages, the Zener diode will
drain your battery, and a diode will not stop it from overcharging. I
really suggest to use the right tool for the job, $3.25 for a
constant-current constant-voltage converter isn't much cost to save your
battery pack from
I've had pretty bad luck with MP2307 boards, a lot of them that I use are
defective. The LM2596 boards I've used have all worked however, they use
the much better 10-turn potentiometers. You could try and replace the
variable resistor with your own potentiometer or fixed one, it is a bit of

Autopilot will only safely bring you to a stop if autopilot can remain
engaged according to its rules that entire time. If a driver engages
autopilot, and the Tesla determines that it is a situation it can't handle
(e.g. a sharp curve in the road), it will kick you out with very little
warning. I
I would be curious to see some real world comparison/results doing a drive
like that coasting as much as possible vs. using full regen. I used to
drive a 2011 Leaf, and I struggled to get more than 4mi/kWH driving as
efficiently as I could (minimizing regen by coasting) with no A/C, etc.,
yet now
The Tesla "FSD" computer is actually "dual redundant" as mentioned in this
Tesla Autonomy Day clip from 3 years ago:

it's only enough to tell you *someone* is wrong, but not who. Hence why in
my job with hardware testing
