Thomas Massie runs his home off the battery from a wrecked Tesla

I’m using the native Tesla BMS, and communicating with it through the CAN bus, using an Arduino programmed by EVTV. The GUI I developed runs on a raspberry pi and communicates with the EVTV Arduino via a serial bus.

[He’s run his home off the grid on this battery he drove 900 miles to retrieve for FIVE YEARS. Granted the man is a 500 lb-brained MIT MS electrical engineer, but he is just cool as beans. If you click through the tweet, someone asks him a technical question, and he’s off and running with nerd-speak. HILARIOUS. What a smack at the narrative. ~ Beege
