Tesla BMS a079 Symptoms: 5-Week Results (Avoiding the Error as Much as Possible)
This experiment is based on a user scenario in which a vehicle that is already out of warranty shows BMS a079 symptoms, and the owner tries to continue using the car as stably as possible while accepting a certain level of inconvenience. It has now been five weeks since the BMS a079 phenomenon was first detected. So far, the BMS a079 error code has still never appeared. At around week 3, the battery condition worsened slightly. So, we limited the charging level to 60% and cap

Third Week Results After Tesla BMS a079 Symptoms (Avoiding the Error as Much as Possible)
This experiment is based on a user scenario in which a vehicle that is already out of warranty shows BMS a079 symptoms, and the owner tries to keep using the vehicle as stably as possible while accepting a certain level of inconvenience. This is the third-week result since the first detection of the BMS a079 phenomenon. So far, the BMS a079 error code has not actually occurred. In last week’s middle graph, the cell voltage deviation widened up to 0.09 V. Starting this week, h

Tesla Cylindrical vs Prismatic: Is It Really a Simple Choice?
These days, because of recent Tesla issues, many people say things like “using cylindrical cells was a mistake” or “Tesla had no choice but to use them.” That might have been true long ago when prismatic and pouch cells were not widely available. But even today, choosing a cell type is far from a simple decision. In battery pack design, there is always a trade-off. Safety, energy density, manufacturing complexity, and cost are all interconnected, and the outcome depends on wh

Second Week Results After Tesla BMS a079 Symptoms (Avoiding the Error as Much as Possible)
This is the second week’s result since the first detection of the BMS a079 phenomenon last week. So far, the BMS a079 error code has not yet appeared. As shown in the left graph, even under the same charging conditions, the maximum cell deviation remains around 0.05 V, similar to last week. However, in the right graph, the maximum deviation has increased significantly to about 0.08 V. This difference is also clearly visible in the statistical data. While it’s possible to redu
