    DIY Tesla Drive Unit Repair

    The inboard fitting should be accessible, the outboard fitting is difficult to access in the car. The coolant tube can be cut, then you can remove the inboard section of the coolant pipe and cap off the inboard fitting. The remaining coolant pipe becomes the coolant manifold dust cap, and...

    DIY Tesla Drive Unit Repair

    Clearly many levels here, from the first sign of a weep, to a persistent leak. The design of this delete is no different than any other for the fix, you can remove and rebuild your DU and still perform this delete.

    1972 Plymouth Satellite Tesla Swap

    I will definitely be going to Mopar events. I live in Colorado and this car is old enough I do not need emissions anyway. I'm sure I will get mixed reactions when I park at public charge stations.
