Tesla’s dead after Airbags went off

[Dr8sides]

I’m in a really frustrating situation with my Tesla. Had a minor accident that popped the airbags, and now the car refuses to charge or drive. I’ve swapped out the lower pyro fuse and sent the SBS module off for repairs, but nada - still stuck.

Anyone else run into this after an airbag deployment? I’m really scratching my head here. Need help...

What kind of accident?

Have you heard about VCFront "post-crash load shed"? It is a feature that triggers when a crash event happens (that lead to airbag deployment). It is a safety feature, to protect the car's electrical system by reducing power consumption and preventing dmg to those components that are critical. When this happens, you have to reset it by going into Service Mode (this is where you can find the status of all the HV components, if you want). I hope it helps! Good luck!

If Tesla doesn't provide timely assistance, consider consulting an independent EV mechanic. They may have previous experience with complex repair issues.

Tesla’s post-crash protocols can be tricky to navigate. The airbag deployment likely triggered a "crashed" mode. That disables charging and driving for safety reasons. Probably forcing inspection and repairs, and quality control. You’ve replaced the pyro fuse and repaired the SBS module, which are great first steps, but the vehicle’s software might still flag crash data that prevents normal operation. A Tesla service technician may need to clear these fault codes and verify the repairs. If Tesla isn’t an option right now, independent Tesla repair shops might have the tools to help as well.

As far as I know, after airbag deployment, you have to reset or replace the SRS control module.
