Kilowatts Kyle and Wyatt watts is too perfect😭

As a firefighter these videos are actually very educational in terms of if we pulled up to a wreck with one of these new EV’s

Looks like ole father Tesla said “ I turn now good luck everybody else “ 😂😂😂 100% cut that edge off

I'm an electrician, that clicking sounds like a contactor (repeatedly coming on and off). I was glad seeing you using the gloves and also proper voltage testing before changing the fuses. I'm not sure your multimeter can actually read DC amp with the clamp and that battery is DC.

‘Don’t want a metal screw driver anywhere near that thing’ Immediately cuts to a metal screw driver all up on that thang 😂

Retired electrical engineer here. I have experience working around 480VAC 3-Ph & also electronic circuits. The Centech CC300 has no DC Amp measuring capability; it's AC Amps only. The HV orange cables could be AC or DC; the main battery is DC. The motors are AC. Cybertruck battery is 4 x 200V units in series. Switch inside allows switching between parallel and series to optimally charge at 400V and 800V.

I’m have no clue when it comes to EVs … I’m a GenX ICE car guy but the algorithm showed me this video and I really enjoyed it - good to see young guys into cars of any type!

Kyle, I appreciate your attention to detail and focus on electrical safety in this video.

I’m not into electric cars but I love watching y’all run through the diagnostics. It is fun to see you figure it out because there are so many folks in the world that would never even ATTEMPT to do what you’re doing because of credentialism. Who are you to try and figure out how to fix a cyber truck? You’re the guy that’s doing it. And that is the key. Keep on killing it, bro.

It doesn't count as running until it makes the Baja Blast run to Taco Bell. 😂😂😂

Just found your vlog, was curious about what kind of shape the Tesla would be in after being totaled. Pretty impressive crash resistance internally. But then you got me hooked by your process of deduction and systematic problem solving. Impressive for a young gear head. Glad to see you and others tackling e vehicles in your private garages. I'll be following along hoping to see this refrigerator back on the public roads. Best of luck. 👍🏼

At 10:50, you have the clamp meter in AC voltage mode. It needs to be in DC mode or it can show low or zero AC Volts even if tons of DC current is going through. Lookout for that in the future

From boosted bois, to jumpbox bois, to battery bois. They grow up so fast 😢

The amount of time and effort you guys invested studying the manuals & fixing the Cybertruck is truly astonishing! Great job!

Fixing an EV seems more fun than actually driving. Love the in depth content, whether it's this or Brent working on fuel injecting a little Honda N600 I'm all over it either way.

love that he embrace the comments and makes it positive!!

That 48V battery might still be good, and just need a BCM reset. My Model Y couldn't charge the Tesla Li-ion battery is because the 15.5V CATL BCM had disconnected the battery internally (to prevent over discharging). I needed to reset that internal BCM, which required "Power Off" on the Safety screen, then turning the car back on. I did that twice, and the CATL BCM reset, and the 15.5V jump pack was no longer needed. PS, I love that you are doing what other hot rodders are scared to do. EVs can be fast too!

😂😂😂…He wore glove the entire time he worked AFTER checking voltage and was all good…Then proceeds to take them off when hooking back up the 48 volt system….Ladies and gentleman A LEGEND!!!!!

The ribbon cable with the damage to it is the steer by wire redundancy cable. Check out Sandy Munro's tear down of the cybertruck.

Totally fascinating! The amount of engineering in this vehicle is amazing. Just the programming of the information screen and all of the various contingencies that they have anticipated is mind-boggling. Keep ALL the programming coming - Tesla stuff, the MR2, the pizza boxes, the NSX build. It is all great!

😭😭😭 Back with the Battery Boiz, Killowat Kyle, and Wyatt Watts! Lol.

I just stumbled across your channel due to your Cybertruck and my interest in Tesla, I'm sure. I love watching people work thru complex issues rationally and methodically. This should be a great series to follow. Sub!

It seems like more fun to fix an EV than to drive one. I'm enthralled with the detailed content, regardless of whether Brent is working on fuel injecting a small Honda N600 or not.

"WARNING" At 17mins into vid on the last fuse thing you put in it looked like you did not tighten it up fully the first bolt you took up the slack then tightened the last bolt did you do it off cam? Do not want any intermittent electrical faults popping up later.

Buddy turned right infront of that car lmao

Congrats! From dead to moving in and out of the shop on its own is quite impressive. Keep it up!

I only watch one KZfaq car guy that employs good lighting. Everyone else is using a pen light or has their phone out. I agree with you, sir. Turn it on.

Cleetus is really good at fixing B pillars if you need a hand

The rear wheels should be turning with the front but they didn't appear to be moving at all. Assume the steering error you got in limp mode is related to that. Loving the CT repair series!! Looking forward to the next episode!

I was electrocuted back in December. I took 14,000 V to ground through my hand and out of my feet losing both big toes and most of my movement in my left hand. good job using proper PPE power is nothing to play with. loved watching your content, though while laid up in the hospital bed.💪🏼

Give it like a month and whistlindiesel will have a parts truck 🤣

You need a DC clamp-meter. The WInApex 268B is a really low-cost unit with good DC resolution. You always need to Zero DC clampmeters as they are sensitive to earth's magnetic field as well as other nearby metalwork.

You guys who work in the Ford parts department really struck it lucky to have a part like that in stock even though it's now backordered. laud the skies

These EV's from Tesla are so complex. The engineering that goes into these is nothing short of mind boggling

That amp meter is useless, especially since it was set on AC. If that one isn’t capable for DC without putting a meter in series then get a DC compatible clamp. Glad there was really no current and nobody got hurt. Love the vids!

Thank you for breaking down all the Troubleshooting you are doing. Very cool seeing the tech behind these vehicles. I also have a cyber truck coming 🎉🎉

Well it’s a truck 😂😂

Can't wait for more updates! As funny looking as the CT is, it has some really interesting bleeding-edge automotive tech underneath

The only KZfaq car guy I watch who uses proper lighting. Everyone else has their phone out or pen light lol. I am with you bro. Light it up.

Bro took the names straight from a comment on his last video lol

A good electrical engineer does not let the smoke out.

I really dig that you are getting diversified. Getting smarter everyday.

“Critical Steering Issue” and my guy forgets he used a torch and pipe to bend the tierod so he could load it. I’d start there before you go on a wild goose chase.

lol love how the crash video shows the cyber truck cutting off the right of way traffic

I like how he takes the criticism positively and embraces it!

Really enjoying the tesla videos, it reminds me of rich rebuilds in the good old days

🤘😎👍 Already got it moving around!!! SICK! EVs are coming, in the end it's still just nuts and bolts. Awesome shade tree mechanic vibe.

Kyle you don’t have to apologize for the electric content. Us die hard fans knows that the electric constant is a cash cow to make money to then pour into the other projects. So keep on making your money bro and get the other projects finished. I personally wanna see a mini drift truck and a track car build.

Dude thanks man, I'm old school backyard mechanic and I appreciate your information, especially about electrocuting yourself, lol, I'll be watching keep doing what you're doing bro, I'm 58 years old, and I'm learning from you thanks 🤘

That error code is likely due to the power steering system. It is drive by wire and has three sensors. if two read differently than the third it will default to what the two read but throw an error code. Might be due to the crash damage. Good luck with the rebuild and love the EV content especially the Plaidisy stuff.

So, it was the old man's fault for pulling across traffic.

CyberTruck wakes up from its Coma: "WHERES MY ARMS/DOORS! AHHHHHHH!"

Congrats on the 1st cyber truck crash rebuild,can't wait to see when it's done.

PLEASE, we NEED a "BatteryBoiz" Sticker and merch🤣, you know that would sell like hot cakes, especially if you parried it with an ev build giveaway or something

I thought the previous owner said in the last video that he wasn't at fault. Turned right in front of that Ford

Being a fella that just traded in my f150 twin turbo for a Tesla model 3 I am not missing a SECOND of this Tesla content!! Kilowatt Kyle for the win! 🔥🤣

The suspense is killing me. Can’t wait to see if you manage to fix it and what you are going to do with it. Also waiting for more Plaidessey V2 content. Glad to see that electric content gets you so much more views. Welcome to the future.

"Quick but brief damage assessment" had me fucking dead 😅

Ur tow truck content seems better than cleatus McFarlanes in my opinion 😂

I can't see me ever buying one of these because I like my ice powered cars, but I find this so interesting. Good work

With that purchase, i thinks its one of the most interesting channels out there atm !!!

you gotta drop a batteryboiz line of merch for all the ev & hybrid bois

Not here for the Tesla content but I watch anyways because I know it helps the other projects hahaha

Seems like Kilowatts Kyle is already more knowledgeable than most Tesla mechanics 🤷😂

Wow that actually has a subwoofer! To bad Elon didnt go with bigger than an 8" 😂😂😂

It is interesting that the footage shows that the Cybertruck turned left into oncoming traffic and then got hit. There does not appear to be traffic mitigation (stop sign, traffic lights, roundabout, etc.), so this seems to have been a preventable accident caused by the Cybertruck. You may want to confirm if that footage was shared with their insurance provider because, if not, posting it here could significantly change any claim payouts they are expecting.

as a guy woorking in a Ford parts dept, you luckeddd out getting a part like that in stock while its on back order status. praise the heavens 🙏

So wie ein Mann, der in einem Ford Parts Dept wartet, kommt man glücklicherweise mit einem Teil wie diesem in Stock, während er im Back Order Status ist. praise the heavens

Thanks guys great to see the truck actually moving under it's own power progress has been made. Good on you Kyle your research and connections ( both Physical and Electrical ) makes things happen.

Im here for the boiz whether its battery or boosted

Tesla content, Love it. 👍

I'm a 66yo Australian, I didn't want this video to end. I find it fascinating, although I'm an old school car nut bought up on the smell of fossil fuels and brake dust !!! I remember fondly as an 18 yo, my Dad finding top dead centre of the piston in my first car by sticking a 1/4 inch dowel rod in the spark plug hole and turning it over and marking the stick with a texta. Seems just like yesterday, boy do I miss him.

It's wild how far they've come with castings.

Been watching for like 4 years and love all the electric stuff you're doing! Also my phone went off at 10:46 and scared the shit out of me

Is there a pyro fuse for the 48v system? Judging by the fact the other battery was dead dead, I'd guess its not getting charged from the HV battery. So you'll probably end up draining your new battery too. For the ribbon cable you could take the cable out at each end and check for continuity of each copper trace, at each end, with a multimeter to make sure its not damaged. PS you can probably revive that other 48v battery (split the case open, and charge each of the cells to 4 to 4.2v volts. You can use a TP4056 with some alligator clips on the wires to clip onto them. It will charge and stop charging automatically. Might take a while to do each cell individually.) Then it might accept a charge from the main battery (once you've sorted the other issues that is). Most battery packs are made up of individual cells, and a battery management system (BMS). If the cell voltage gets too low, the BMS wont allow any charging of the pack no matter what you try. Thats why directly charging the cells individually just to bring them back to an acceptable voltage, will usually please the BMS into turning on / accepting a charge.

Honestly I like what boostedbois is doing with this channel. I discovered it from the Plaid build videos, and without this new electric car content I don't think there'd be a lot to differentiate them from other car channels. It's unique, and it makes working on electric cars a lot more tangible. I love the content!! Keep it going 🙏🙏

I prefer the raw audio from the camera over the audio from using the microphone, it feels more authentic with all the background noise

One little issue when you were checking for current before changing the fuses is as follows Whenever you check for voltage or current with a meter and don't get a reading, youust then check for voltage or current on a know live source to ensure you meter is on fact working properly. A pretty damn important step you missed! ⚡

A BoostedBois livery on this would look sick 🔥

Glad to see you posting more of both ev and honda content

Someone prybar'd that connector out of it. Glad you got that back together. I know that sucked getting those pins back into their holes.

I'm impressed to see that CyberTruck move under its own power.

Don't listen to haters. This is amazing content right here! It's not ICE or EV. You can do both!!!

Watching you guys figuring out how to work on a whole new technology is awesome. I'm glad I found and subscribed to your channel.

1 There better be a taco bell run for first drive. 2 When yall are closing out the video i swear kyles about to say "and we'll freaking see ya later" like cleet lolol

I willing to bet money that that busted door could be reformed in a metal press and it can be polished back to new condition

Thanks for these videos! I'm a car guy by heart that owns a Tesla and so many automotive channels are all "Teslas are dumb, etc" so it's nice to see you diving into them!

Variety of content is good. Keep it coming.

Just caught your last video of getting this from the original owner. I have to say this version (wrecked) of a Cyber truck and you guys figuring it out to fix/repair it after being "totaled" ("joke of the century") is more interesting and eyes glued to the set (in my case laptop) than any others picking these things up and driving them (after Tesla just says here's the keys, good luck!). Thumbs up and Sub'd today!

The cool factor is not the issue. The effectiveness and practicality as a work truck is the issue.

I don’t know what’s gotten into you. If the adderall shortage is over or what but I’m happy to have my favorite channel pumping out content.

Forget the nay sayers. If this project brings you joy, I'm happy for you. It is pretty cool watching you on your journey of discovery. Thanks for sharing!

Definitely pay attention to the expiration date on those gloves. They will expire and need to be replaced with new ones as the rubber has a given life for the protection they are made/rated for. Saw those kinds of gloves doing my job as the one industrial electrician had them and asked about them. He does the very high volt 600+ and three phase work. Remember kids, electricity ALWAYS wants to kill you, don't give it the chance to try!

Welcome to this episode of battery bois… shit had me rolling

So cool to see it functional again.

Wyatts reaction is how most people feel lol

A couple of Ideas 1. Switch from Fuses to Auto-Rest Circuit Breakers. 2. Even though Tesla's have Sentry Mode use a 3'rd Party Dashcam with ADAS (70Mai, DDPAI, Navman etc!) it can drop Insurance, Intergrated tend not to drop Insurance as if the car gets a bad update data might not be recorded or become corrupted! 3. Use Beading Window Wash/Cleaner apply to Windows as well as Reservoir. 4. Use Conformal Coating on Electric Circuits and Battery Connections etc. 5. Replace any Zip Ties for Electrics with Velcro (ZipTies) that you have to remove.

Your delivery and presentation of what all's going on here, really shows how far you and this channel has come. You're kill'n it man don't ever stop!

that inro was fire!

I personally love the mix on your channel, ev videos welcome here
