TXLEV

@Intel_degen @brandenflasch This is about one very specific trim that was primarily aimed towards fleet needs. Fleet operators don't care at all about how pretty a vehicle is. It needs to perform a set of intended functions and be economical (upfront and operating costs). This was not at all economical.

@TXL_EV @brandenflasch IMO it’s ugly af hence why it won’t sell

They shouldn't have made any.

@macun81 @teslaloosa Interesting. Is the US or abroad?

@teslaloosa Also seeing kws instead of hp,very weird,lol

I keep seeing ads for gas cars mentioning their total range, and you know that's a reaction to EVs. Never in my life do I remember anyone talking about the total range of their car. Suddenly it's important to know you can go 518 miles without pissing or eating. 🤪

Calling it "Coolant Delete" on its own is misleading to the people who don't know any better - it's really a Rotor Coolant Delete... The only portion of the cooling circuit that gets bypassed in a properly "Deleted" motor is the rotor cooling itself. The stator, inverter, and gearbox cooling circuits are untouched by a properly done Rotor Coolant Delete - same as in a current revision new or remanufactured LDUs with Rotor Coolant Delete from Tesla (both Rev U since 2023 and now the new Rev V). Now what I have certainly seen is plenty of "cobbled together" rotor coolant deletes that also bypass the gearbox flyover tube (which is the branch that also normally contains rotor cooling). Blocking this branch definitely can cause an imbalance within the motor's cooling loop, and can also trap air within the cooling system, which can absolutely cause issues. However, a properly done rotor coolant delete will retain this branch for balanced cooling. Additionally, a lot of folks are performing rotor coolant deletes on motors that have already had a prior history of coolant intrusion, without opening up the motor to inspect the condition of the stator - and recondition it if necessary (or not reconditioning it properly). This can absolutely lead to a premature failure of the motor due to the corrosion and other damage that may already be present within the stator from past coolant intrusion. This would be no different from someone using your Holy Grail seal solution in a motor with corroded windings - eventually it would fail due to the already existing damage that was not addressed in the first place. I'm sure you can agree that a failure like that could not be attributed to your seal and other parts, but rather improper implementation of those parts. That's one of the big issues here is individuals and shops not doing the work right the first time to ensure a long term, reliable repair. I personally have performed many dozens of rotor coolant deletes, and combined, my industry colleagues have also performed many thousands more; and many of them have had tens or even hundreds of thousands of miles of reliable use on them. I have NEVER seen a failure caused by a properly done rotor coolant delete (improperly done, yes, there certainly have been plenty of failures). I am a big fan of a lot of the work that you guys are doing in terms of effort to keep all these EVs on the road for the long haul. And I am certainly not saying that your your LDU solution is bad - in fact I think it's a great repair option. However, I find it disingenuous to "bad mouth" rotor coolant delete installations as a whole, as proper installs do not have a statistically significant failure rate that I, nor many others have seen in the real world. Additionally, I did read through your entire article, and noticed that several of the "example" photos that were used were not of LDUs (or their parts) at all - which is certainly misleading to those who may not know the difference - and also of LDUs that appear to have signs of past coolant intrusion.

We've been censored for 2 years for saying this — but Tesla owners deserve the truth. "Coolant delete" is destroying motors in our workshops every single week: 🔥 Stators burning WITHOUT a drop of coolant 🔥 Gearbox oil seals cracking, gearboxes running dry 🔥 Stator cooked from the inside where is NTC blindspot 🔥 Inverters thermally stressed 🔥 Rotor shafts micro-cracking 🔥 Failures at 20,000 km — not 200,000 These are not theories. These are units on our benches. Right now. Workshop-validated. Documented. Repeated weekly. Meanwhile we get banned, deleted, silenced in every major Tesla Facebook group for posting it. 13 Tesla revisions. Same flawed design since 2012. 800,000 km on our HolyGrail kit. 2-year unlimited-mileage warranty. Read what they don't want you to see 👇 evclinic.eu/2026/05/01/tes…

@brandenflasch @Novosilicon @TeslaCharging @tesla_semi Interesting! Very curious to keep an eye on these things.

@TXL_EV @Novosilicon @TeslaCharging @tesla_semi I just noticed 150A is the continuous rating so it could boost much higher (especially if they did it with NACS)

.@TeslaCharging has launched @tesla_semi Charging for Business with a surprise "Basecharger" 125kW all-in-one unit that's $40k for 2 units (MOQ of 2). $188k for 1 1.2MW cabinet, 2 posts for V4 Semi Megacharger.

@brandenflasch @Novosilicon @TeslaCharging @tesla_semi Agreed. I sadly think that low amperage limit is what's keeping costs down. Less copper

@Novosilicon @TeslaCharging @tesla_semi Could be an interesting option with NACS. 150A is low output though so they'd need to bump that.

@Finscreener_com @MissJilianne It is a bit odd to see a production car with alloys in the rear and what appear to be steel in the front. Not to mention the big offset (18vs21"?) I know they are intended to have wheel covers, but it is very much perplexing

@MissJilianne Dude, next time criticize perhaps a dirt on a window or a bad position of a car on the trailer...you are pathetic

What’s up with the wheels?

@brandenflasch And I was completely agreeing with you.

@TXL_EV My point is more so that just because it's good for a niche use case doesn't mean it should be made at scale

Ethanol is a terrible fuel

@bigbird3420 @brandenflasch So then why do all the top Dirt Late Model/Modified classes run Alcohol? And Indycar? And Formula D?

@TXL_EV @brandenflasch It sucks for motorsports

@brandenflasch While there is a lot of crossover and different strengths. Alcohol fuels are far superior for forced induction race motors. E85 has a far higher latent heat of vaporization (3x) which allows for a cooler motor, denser intake charge and resistance to knock.

@TXL_EV Sure, so is race fuel

@PrimeNay @KilowattStation Looks like it, but its a common failure point on these units. The acrylic doesn't hold up well to UV radiation. Forms tons of micro cracks and the fogging some headlights get. Unacceptable for the price of these things.

@KilowattStation Kind of looks like it is home to a spider nest 😬

CP6000 has seen better days.

@PlugLyfOfficial @ChargePozitive @brandenflasch Ionna and Tesla are kind of the exception. Almost every other network uses a mix of equipment.

@TXL_EV @ChargePozitive @brandenflasch Right, but typically those networks have the same equipment.

Hey @brandenflasch have you heard if this DC Fast Charging company?

@PlugLyfOfficial @ChargePozitive @brandenflasch You are naming networks, not hardware manufacturers. They are not the same thing

@TXL_EV @ChargePozitive @brandenflasch Not sure, but everything I've used that's not a Supercharger, Ionna, or (sometimes) EA I've typically had issues with OR it just plain won't work.

@ChargePozitive @EthanCords @brandenflasch So what's your suggestion when the cost of electricity for the operator exceeds $0.56/kWh? In a vacuum I agree $0.58/kWh is too expensive. But some operators are between a rock and a hard place when the utility costs are absolutely prohibitive

@TXL_EV @EthanCords @brandenflasch 58¢ is too expensive.

@PlugLyfOfficial @ChargePozitive @brandenflasch You view BTC power as off brand garbage?

@ChargePozitive @brandenflasch They'll probably be broken within a few days like all the other off-brand garbage out there.

@EthanCords @ChargePozitive @brandenflasch Correct! It is Nayax Energy. They use BTC, Delta, ABB and Incharge (Infypower) most sites have TOU pricing so it'll range from $0.30 to $0.58/kWh

@ChargePozitive @brandenflasch I want to say they were 58¢ but don’t remember exactly. I might be in Modesto in a few weeks and can check them out again if I have time!

@brandenflasch @ChargePozitive Operator using Nayax Energy. AMPS EV is owned by MYNT systems. They have about 150 active ports in California and another 100 ready to go waiting on the utility

@ChargePozitive Nope but those are BTC

@brandenflasch @ionnaofficial It really is the little things that make the experience!

Impressed to see @ionnaofficial have folks out to wipe down and inspect every charger in Portsmouth, NH while I was charging That's a great level of care

@WallStHoops @MissJilianne They also said for years that every car built since 2016 has all the necessary hardware for full unsupervised self driving. Why should one believe they will actually deliver on this promise?

@MissJilianne Maam they said they will give it to u u have to wait until they build the mini factories and change our ur shit are u gonna talk about it every day until they do it?

Tesla sent me an email informing me their trade-in estimate has increased for my Model S Plaid. No thanks, I want the Unsupervised Full Self-Driving I paid for over three years ago.
