And now it's my turn to be added to a/the list
Backing out of my driveway last Friday, the rear driver's side control arm failed with me completely blocking the side street. Fortunately, the two drivers showed up relatively quickly and people were understanding (and we have multiple exits from our neighborhood). The tow drivers were kind enough to help keep the rear lifted while unloading so I could leave the car on jack stands and have a prayer of repairing it myself. My car is a 2015 85D with just ~ 69,400 miles.
Tesla quoted the following parts just based on the photos I sent through the app:
BOLT HF M12X1.75X70 [10.9]-U-G720(2007078), 1x @ $17
NUT,HF,M12X1.75, [10],ZNNI,PTM. (1111545-00-A), 1x @ $0.32
BOLT HF M12X75 PC109(1043053-00-A, 1x @ $2.38
REAR UPPER LINK SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY - DUAL MOTOR(1027426-00-C), 1x @ $230.00
RR SUSP LCA ASSY(1021416-00-D), 1x @ $350.00
Original quote included labor, but I don't feel like paying for the hour long tow, plus coordinating transport to/from to pick the car up once it was done. Can't order the parts for shipping either, at least not through the service center*. I found it surprisingly difficult to find the lower control arm assembly aftermarket, but can find nearly every other component. Did locate one at EVAnnex for $250, and I have that on order. I'll be doing my best to repair solo - of course it's getting into the cold, wet, winter season! Yippee! Fingers crossed that the lower control arm assembly is the only busted part. Everything else looks surprisingly good.
Side note: First AAA tow driver showed up in < 5 minutes, but hadn't looked at the ticket, only that there was an emergency request in his area. As soon as he pulled up and saw it was a Tesla, he noped right out and called in backup.
* Tesla did tell me I could register to order the parts myself, but registration requires submitting photos of my "facility" and choosing what type of retail establishment I am. Didn't seem worth it, especially with a 5-7 day process for a maybe approval just to pay more for the part.
