    Help for Buying First Fixer Upper Model S

    Hi Ray. The listing doesn’t have good pictures and not much more of a description than I shared. No pictures of any rear badging or console screen shots of the build. I don’t even have a vin at this point

    Help for Buying First Fixer Upper Model S

    The model S I was looking at sold. Thought I might use this thread to list the next one I am looking at to get some advice. I see a 2013, original owner has for sale. The unlimited supercharge went to his new Tesla, so that is not part of the deal. It is an AWD model, and not performance, so...

    Help for Buying First Fixer Upper Model S

    I didn’t buy it. I have a feeling it will be on the market for a little while. I was considering taking a look but at this point I wouldn’t know exactly what I should be looking for. The owner sent me some diagnostics from the mcu. That’s all I have to work with right now If I had a good...

    Help for Buying First Fixer Upper Model S

    Can anyone tell me more about the battery issue? I didn't see anything specific to this model of car that was anything like the motor failure. I have also seen battery repair and its not for the faint of heart. just removing the lid seems like a weekend task (for those that are planning its...

    Help for Buying First Fixer Upper Model S

    Not that I would consider this, but if the rotor shaft was cut and didn't extend into the housing with the lip seal, you could get away with the equivalent of a freeze plug. On second thought (my edit works now!!) I would consider trimming off the shaft and replacing the troublesome seal with a...

    Help for Buying First Fixer Upper Model S

    Good to know. I did notice the $599 QC coolant delete has the fittings for the oil cooling but they do say you need the tubing, oil container, radiator and electric pump. They mention pulling from a Model 3, but maybe those things could also be sourced from other suppliers. In the end, if its...

    Help for Buying First Fixer Upper Model S

    Appears I can't yet edit my own posting. What I meant to say here is that the restriction to buy at auction is you have to be a registered dealer. To be a dealer in NJ you have to meet the requirements of having a "showroom" and space for vehicles, and a sign. You can typically only do this...

    Help for Buying First Fixer Upper Model S

    Isolation errors are a result of electronics being compromised in the inverter? The coolant bypass similar to what was mentioned by QC? I have seen lots of disucssion of overhaul with several seals and the two expensive bearings on the motor's ends. Regarding the 85kwh pack, what is the story...

    Help for Buying First Fixer Upper Model S

    I wish that picture focused on the part that was different where the seal is located. Everything else was the same. The QC Coolant Delete is interesting. It appears that the coolant now bypasses the LDU and instead cooling is done with oil. There picture has what looks like an oil pump, so a...

    Help for Buying First Fixer Upper Model S

    Hello, I have recently become interested in picking up a model S because I have always loved the look of the vehicle (not really crazy about other Teslas) and the prices have become affordable. For example I found a 2013 with 94K for sale for 11,500. The catch is that it has a coolant leak...

    Buyer Beware! Advice for Non-Running 2013 Model S

    First post on this site and I would have liked to drop it in a Model S forum category, but none seemed to apply. If there is a better place, please let me know. I recently started thinking about picking up an older Model S. I have owned several Toyota Prius cars and do needed repairs myself...
