Congrats Mike! I hate taking my cars for their annual inspections, let alone getting my own car EV certified, so I can identify strongly with your frustrations. It's all done now though and it's going to be super sweet cruising Barcelona in the 914!

Great outcome. Looking forward to the next installment, with wind noise from cruising along the Mediterranean with the top down!

Yay, congratulations for passing the ITV! It was a rollercoaster indeed, but I'm glad you were persevering and you pushed on during the hardest moments. As a bonus, it seems like you got a deep immersion into Spanish culture as well :D Looking forward to seeing you drive your electric classic Porsche on the streets of Barcelona!

That was arduous! I admire your patience and perseverance and happy it all turned out well. Wishing you many happy miles in sunny Barcelona!

Hi Mike, thank you for your interesting Video about Debug with ESP-PROG. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to run my ESP32-CAM board and the ESP-prog at the same time. As soon as I make a serial connection to the boatrd, the debugger no longer starts. Can you tell me what kind of board you are using in the video? Or even better, where I can buy it. With the help of the debugger, I was already able to find an error in the ESP32 time-lapse code. Thank you for that. Sunny greetings from Germany, the country that is currently waiting for summer

Sounds like you're almost there. I understand the 50 year old wiring harness dilemma. I found the TD replica had a bunch of lamp cord branched in to bypass the old harness. I rewired the whole thing with 16 gauge trailer harness wire.

Did just notice this on a T570 ... Currently deciding if I fix it, or if I just replace the wan card with a sata ssd.....

The Porche drag race is awesome (and so was the towing competition). The network in the Cybertruck is AVB-Audio Video Bridging, something that I worked on at Meyer Sound LAbs back in 2010. Apple computers have had AVB built in since early 2000's .

Fluff piece spouting Tesla approved (and writing) powerpoint high lights with not one single reservation let alone the obvious elements that are bad. Channel blocked from my feed because the BS that gets spouted is truly sickening One has to wonder just how brown your nose is.

Very detailed video. Thank you

Great video. Thank you.

hey mike glad you did a video on these details talking about it... and i am not here to unduly criticize however: the thing is i am not against the general premise of the design. stainless is cool material, and the delorean inspired design is a warm change. as are the flat panels and general look. personally i would not call it unattractive or anything like that. however the main thing i would be pointing towards taking a scrutiny of is basically the everyday practicality. and this is where it comes down to the egos of upper management and i have seen this in other corporations in recent years (cough, nvidia, jensen huang). whereby the guy at the top insists based upon purely his ego and it ends up being to the detriment of the final product design. so here are the individual elon's mistakes in my opinion. (and not the general tesla engineers yes men whom didnt want to be getting fired over it...) 1) wing mirrors: its understandable and because the legal regulations and we have been thru it all with supercars already. those requirements for being street legal and the drag etc. only problem here is: because elon isnt accepting the reality of the situation he thinks his clout still matters to make them like... too much feeble and naf from a practical stantpoint. because in elon's mind if he makes them badly enough, then people will feel more compelled to remove them. and/or force a pressure on the authorities to change the road legal requirements long term. and this is all a clear mistake because it makes his product more naf. and then people has to start doing extra work like 3rd party wing mirror kits that are actually good etc. so its fixable but still a mark against. 2) steering wheel. we have been through this before on other tesla vehicals... the wheel is not round enough simply it is actually more dangerous and leads to less control while driving. this is also perhaps possible to change (perhaps). but it is just entirely daft from a practical design standpoint. why? because elon musk has a massive ego thats for the only reason why 3) the back of the cab slope. now this one isn't fixable. however i wanted to bring it up because in my opinion... if you had a step on the rear window. rather than a continuus long slope. then you get better headroom in the back. and i am just guessing but it would not look aesthetically bad or anything. so perhaps there was during design phases a mockup proposal, that was then rejected by elon. in favor of having more trunk space volume yes? but even a small step on the rear cab would have been great imho. and maybe even look a bit nicer and more attractive. but thats just my own opinion. it is not perfect. but i think some reasonable things would be for tesla themselves to provide better mirrors and steering wheels. as an option or later revisions. but i also agree with all of your own suggestions too on it. so while i do still support the general concept.. its elon himself i am afraid i simply do not wish to support his ego. if he had somebody else whom was a credible engineer to push back against him (that he listened to and accepted) to have final say. somebody like a johnny ive equivalent. then i believe that those criiticisms are a bit like the apple product criticisms which is quite commonly said things. and nothing new or worth getting upset about. (if you are a tesla fan). it is still possible to appreciate from an engineering perspective the moving forwards on those new positive accomplishments... but i am not going to fall in love with the thing. after already going through all of those apple let-downs sagas by now its same general thing... tesla is the new apple basically they reproduced the apple business model. but for vehicles. so its just another type of a business, (not a passion) at this point

Thank you for the video! It helped me.

I have Two panels with each microinverter enphase. One of my panel not working, it's microinverter not blinking any color, what would be the problem?

Was so glad to have you at the shop Mike! Wishing you the best on your endeavors.

Do you have a link for the parts please

Nice, can you buy a fast charger where you take it to say PTT and use the charging station?

I have ut213c same thing with dc amps. I m in jeddah and i have 0.33apms i have to zero it. Helpfull video i was worried that it might be broke

Hi Michael: Beautiful job! My Bolt euv is a heavy weight compared to your Porsche. The car looks amazing.

Promo*SM 😃

Now I'm curious whether the vehicle will be registered as a Porsche or Volkswagen. It was a joint project between both companies. Volkswagen sold the 4-cylinder engines and Porsche sold the 6-cylinder engines in Europe. Both models were sold by Porsche in the US. An electric version is only available as a conversion.

What a great show that was! I can hardly wait for next season, when you drive it all around Barcelona, taking shots along the Beaches of Barcelona. Your work is inspirational, thanks, Mike!

Bravo Michael! Six months in Cape Girardwau and on its way to Barcelona. Wishing you many happy miles!

03:20 Oh no, this will make some Apple die-hard fans upset =))

Very excited to see it on the road in Spain!

Great video. I wish I saw it before I learned it the hard way!

Do you sell a kit or diagram and give product information I need to make one ?

The coil in the analog display is not just a resistance, but an induction. I would try to connect a capacitor of approximately 10µF 35V between the signal and GND. You just need a slow signal anyway. The capacitor will turn the pulses into an approximate analog voltage. The Mosfet will thank you if it doesn't always see the voltage peaks and ringing. Discharging the small capacitor will definitely work.

Small touches can make a world of difference :) At first I was thinking that the ESP is a bit of an overkill, why would you even need the WiFi for? But then I saw that you had to use it in the end. Good job!

Hi Mike, Good work! Was an interesting watch. Just to clarify, in the event your HV positive cable should touch the chassis, there shouldn't be any arc or short or anything. You'll find most HV cables shielding is terminated on two sides to chassis GND which is for high voltage leak detection and emi reasons. In the event one cable is in contact, the bms and vcu should stop the contractors closing until the fault is rectified. If both positive and negative are in contact, it'll blow the fuse fairly quickly and you'll have bigger issues on your hands.

Do you have a reference for that heater, please?

Perhaps the series could continue but as 'Hua Hin Thailand Road alongside rail construction Drone Flight'

I am here right now at dolphin beach it is real a wonderful dream ❤

You reduce from 18mm to 8mm. It would be better to have a Y-piece there and distribute it from 18mm to 8mm + 8mm. Then you could cool the front and rear batteries separately in parallel. After the two batteries again from 8 + 8mm to 10mm put a Y-piece to the bottle.

Awesome video! Do you know the part numbers for the radiator, fan, and reservoir?

The American plug has L1, N, PE and two data pins. This is connected to one phase. The European plug has L1, L2, L3, N, PE and the same two data pins. This is connected to AC three-phase current. But alternatively only one phase can be used. The data pins use the same signals in both regions. The European Type 2 plug is also called Menneke's plug because that was the company that was able to introduce their proposal throughout Europe. This plug has been legally required for EVs across Europe. Tesla in Europe also uses this plug to charge with DC.

Don't forget the freewheeling diode for the relay. When the relay is switched off, a voltage spike occurs. Use three diodes. One from the ignition lock in the direction of the arrow to the relay, one from the charging module in the direction of the arrow to the relay, the third diode from minus in the direction of the arrow to the relay. So all diode rings point to the plus of the relay. The third diode has the anode at minus of the relay. This will savely reduce the voltage spike.

Do you detail the cooling system for the battery modules in any videos?

How did you modify the data cable? I have a 2 module cable that I want to turn into a 2 module extension. The board connectors all have different pins populated and it's not intuitive how to splice and add a series extension.

As a non-techy/leccy love the way you precisely explain all in a comprehensible manner. I see you have plans in Europe but any chance of returning to Thailand and setting up Mike's Tropical EV conversions shop here? Bet you'd find a huge niche in the Farang and Thai market (Mike Fai 555;). Btw gave your channel a mention in next vid, hope that's ok. STL

Excellent video. Your trials and tribulations make my projects seem simple!

Well the new station looks pretty good to me. I’ve done a lot of tidying up I thought they were having brand-new trains running to and from Bangkok. Perhaps they will win in the future. Looking forward to using the new service and thanks for all the videos over the last few years guys, much appreciated. DSM. fro the Uk 🇬🇧 ☺️

Can't figure out why there is a four track system just through the middle of town - seems pointless (pun not intended). Around the new station, if the additional track were to be removed it would give much more parking, something which looks in pretty short supply.

The new station looks great but does seem to me unnecessarily large considering that there will be another new station for the proposed high speed line near the airport in 12 years time or so.

Funny that Hua Hin Today reported in December that you had wrapped up this series! Anyway, FYI, the dual overpasses on Soi 101 opened on Monday, 18th December, a week before Christmas 2023. The " interesting red paint" is actually raised, and is a specific speed calming device. The overpasses are a vast improvement over the bumpy level crossing, and the traffic lights on the intersection of Phetkasem Road and Soi 101 at Khao Tao are lifesavers.

Where did you get the mica sheets? What thickness Mica and foam? And what type of foam?

Great piece of work! Thank you!! Damaged mine and it is HORRIBLY expensive in Africa, if you can get it.

I attended ALL of Jack's previous EVCCONs, 2011-2015--so glad to see the work is still continuing!
