Thanks. Are you sure n an old gen or new gen Model S?

Do you need a platform for the rear area where the folded down rear seats are higher than the rear trunk area?

Hey @CaptUAL - when you use this mattress, so you have a platform to build up the rear area that is lower liek the dreamvcase does or does the mattress cpompensate well enough for that? I have an early model s - maybe its worse in mine? Thanks for any feedback!

Very cool, would love to see photos if you don't mind posting!

Hi there, I'm in the US and does anyone know whether the Model X tow receiver insert works with the EU towbar? I see the EU kit below wiht the swan neck tow ball, but what I need is to use this bar and insert the Model X tow reeciover hitch shown at bottom. It looks very similar, but I can't...

PM'd

Can a "refresh" model x/s hithch fit the older model s or is the bolt pattern completely different??

@Rolex1973 you might want to start your own thread, but if the battery 12v battery is old you might want to start there. The problem is hv battery or drive unit problems will kill the 12v battery, so it might be unrelated. You could always open a ticket with Tesla and do remote diagnostics...

Man, that is terrible. I was also hoping my battery would last a good long time as it was replaced about 50k and 5 years ago. Now these stories have me worried, especially as I just bought a new drive unit. I recommend contacting these folks in San Diego CA. They were helpful to me when I...

Ok, I thought keeping it between 80 and 20% was the rule as running it down too far is bad? So 55% max, daily charging and just keeping it off 0% is better?

BTW, please make sure to report back your resolution so others can be helped and if you need further asisstance, please post or PM

How did this play out?

I had a similar situation recently and it ended up being the rear drive unit. Have they actually had the car in for diagnosis yet or are they just going by remote error message review? My similar thread: Car dead, need help. Gurus, please help read errors

Hi, sorry to bump this up, but after reading many pages I am not clear -- so many different recommendations. for an original P85 (battery replaced with a new one 5-6 years ago), what is the best method to prolong the battery? I see references to 50-55%, but that means charge to that as max and...

Do you need one? Let me know - I still haven't installed mine and not sure that I will get around to it.

Yes, I installed the updated cupholder on my 12 and that is one thing I hugely prefer vs the new ones or my wifes new 3. There's so much storage in there -- can put a nalgene water bottle, a regular coffee cup if im careful, whatever -- the dividers allow you to organize it however you like.

Having just been through this, something fails and then the car burns out the 12v battery as a result. In my case it was a rear drive unit, but my understanding is it could have been the HV or the DCDC converter

OK, glad you appreciated and now I'll add in my 3rd cent: If your 2012 is running well and sellable, it might be a good time to get out. I just had to replace my rear drive unit and it was a considerble ouch to my budget. Perhaps selling yours and getting the newest-used version with normal...

My 2 cents as the owner of a 2012 who just had a Plaid loaner: Work with Tesla and get an extended demo drive on one before doing anything. Personally, I found the no stalks a big downgrade and the yoke completely unacceptable. I really thought I'd like the predictive shifting, but it doesn't...

Thank you - I'll have my suspension shop at least give it a check. Am i entitled to the old drive unit? Any value? I suspect not, but thought I'd ask since you have rebuild info in your sig.

Thanks, I thought this might help the community. I appreciate the reman info - glad to hear its a relatively recent unit and only 1 rebuild. How important do you you guys think a 4 wheel alignment is after this? Reason I ask is since I had been planning to keep this car for the long haul, I...

Ok, thanks to all for the help. The reman drive unit is confirmed to be the coolant delete type and the service center is installing it today. Hopefully the delete manifold means this one will last a lot longer (I sure won't be doing any sustained high stress driving on it though with no...

Thanks @MP3Mike . OK, so "-U" means seal delete and you can find one new or remanufactured now with this done? I'm just confirming. The only part# I was given above was for a 1002633-01-U, which I believe is a new one. I'm wondering if reman is OK in this case if the seal delete is...

OK, well, as I suspected the coolant heater was not the issue. The "analysis" Tesla does remotely seems to be nothing more than looking for the easiest part that the errors say to change and going with that. Now my car is in their possession with a huge bill. Estimate updated to 7200 and...

I agree logically, but that is not what they do. They replaced the lifts on the hatch of my S 3 times and never got it right until I found a slope on their property and made them watch it fail with their own eyes (I had submitted video at least 6 times). Then they were magically able to fix it...

Not much, but that hour of diagnosis scares me that they don’t really know. 3rd party repair or DIY the coolant pump and see if that fixes it?

I stand corrected - you are right. I missed that one originally. As dumb as this mistake is, it’s one of the reasons I posted- mistakes happen. So most likely culprit is the coolant heater? I’m 300 into this already for a battery I may not have needed and here is the estimate I just...

Hey there, Can anyone help with reading these codes, helping figure out what the problem is and hot to navigate with Tesla? Backgroung: I'm driving the car the other night with some fast accelration, the car freaked out and went turtle mode, reduced power, may not restart, etc. I limped it...

For sure. I think you could get a lot more for yours than what a simple trade in quote is and you are probably better off selling it now for that higher price before something major goes wrong. Mine is currently dead and I'm probably looking a drive unit replacement out of warrantty. This...

I bought it about 7 years ago, so that is kinda irrelevant at this point. I'm more concerned with how likely the car is to fail vs keep running. I thought it would be solid with new battery and rear drive unit, but am currently having a problem and now i see so many nightmare stories when...

yes, please follow up - this would be a big help to people completely stressed about their tesla shwoing severe errors.

Maybe, maybe not....wait and see what comes back.

12/12 built P85, 3rd owner, battery replaced under warranty in 2018 with a new one. Should I keep the car? 100% charging is 238ish miles.

How old is the 12v battery?

Hi, sorry to hear this. I am in the middle of something similar and right now, tesla is saying its just the 12v battery. How old is yours? My car freaked out with no warning and is throwing some similar codes and I had no warning about the 12v battery being bad. Mine is 5.5 years old and its...

Thank you for this video, I found it extremely helpful. I’m *sorta* looking forward to digging into my ‘12 P85 that has had a hv battery replacement, but kinda scared of what I’ll find! I do see the ac condensation dripping out on the driveway from front middle like a normal car. BTW, on the...

What was the resolution on this? I've been working for or more years with Tesla on this, they've replaced the struts, latch, everything and it still does it. Works fin on flat gorund, but the gentle slop eof my driveway (2-3% maybe) causes it to fail. Thanks.

Great. What did you use to pull the cap - a spudger type tool or ? Did you break any clips and/or how do you avoid breaking them? Thanks.

Did you ever solve this one? I need to do the same and from reseraching this, I think if you take off the painted cap there are 3 torx screws accessible from the top to undo and then you can get the chrome off. I haven't done it yet, so if anyone can validate this I'd appreciate it.

Anyone need 25mm spacers for a MS? I put some one after doing the hardrace arms and due to lowering and new alignment specs, they very slightly rub the felt liner at full compression. These should be great for anyone on 19" wheels or not lowered on 21s. Please PM me with any questions or...

Don't FOMO over them -- the RWD is amazing, plenty fast and the LFP battery gives you LR range on a daily basis due to charging to 100% All inidcations is the battery will last a lot longer too. I would only choose the RWD knowing what I know now.

Thanks for the feedback. Has it damaged the paint flexing in like that? That would be a concern for me.

@S-ALSET - Do you have any photos of how this looks? And by cutting an ench off, I assum eyou mean the collar at the end and probably cut it back to where the chain connectors are? Wouldn't that weaken it a bit? What do you pull? thanks!

Hi @jjvan - Can you describe this process? Did you just mate the two back or back or ? I wasn't sure if they are truly symetrical side to side or not, so wasn't sure if back to back would work. Thanks.

Hey @arman1010 couple questions: 1) Did you just leave your bumper support out? Any issues 2) Your hitch looks like it sticks out further than @Evoforce 's does. Is that just due to facelift vs non facelift rear bumpers? His looks like it sticks out just past the little chrome rib on his...

Hi @PaulDoItAll , may I ask if you just decided to leave it out or did another installer? Any problems leaving it out? I ask as I have a Model X hitch that I want to put on my S, but it would interfere with this piece and either require a bunch of customization or need to be left off. Is it...

Anyone?

Question for @vesder21 and others. On the bar that was left off, was there another piece that went on that conformed ore to the countours of the bumper or was this it? Reason I ask is some MS owners put a Model X hitch on, but it requires a lot of cutting of the bumper reinforcement and if its...
