    Toolbox 3 Gateway Configuration Edit on Model 3 / Y?

    Is the airSuspension changeable, or is it secured? And anyone know what the id would be for the old Sport air suspension type?

    Vehicle may not restart errors

    This is crazy we have to pay $1k for crap that must be replaced purely because of the warranty failure, so how on earth are we being forced to pay that out of pocket and it not be covered by the warranty that forced its replacement? Has anyone had this happen without paying for the harness? I'm...

    Tesla Model S 75D 2018 battery heater and other components

    Thanks yeah, and seems it should be a separate error for the battery heater, but I'm just getting that cabinPTCHeater error, with cabin heat working, but battery heating not working. Suppose I'll just wait until something really fails to throw the correct error. Or take the frunk apart and...

    Model S Air Conditioning Leak - O rings?

    Hey folks, I've got a leak in the AC Refrigerant system, and on inspection (take out the frunk and look vs. pay Tesla 200 bucks), can see a clear leak where the AC line meets the Condenser on the passenger side. This is a 2017 Model S, btw, using R1234yf refrigerant, not that it matters on the...

    Steering Mode - P100DL in Sport lighter than P85D+ in Normal

    Thanks for the input. I'll have both in my hands shortly, and will downgrade each's firmware and try removing/adding Plus suspension config to see the effect. And then do a full suspension swap between the cars, moving the P85D+ air struts, swaybar, dampers, etc. to the P100DL. Dampers are a...

    Gateway config non-factory model option?

    Hey folks, I'm looking to swap a full Plus air suspension from a P85D into a 2017 P100D, but thinking the Plus suspension gateway config controls the electronic weight of the steering (Sport, etc. are much lighter in the P100D vs. the P85D). Of course Plus suspension wasn't an option on 2017s...

    WARNING For Those Installing Aftermarket Arms, Links, etc such as N2itive, Mountian Pass, etc.

    Clunking in front is usually upper control arm (really the ball joint), or the lower control arm's (the single one usually) bolt being a little loose.

    Long term maintenance 100k+ miles

    Upper control arms, certainly, the ball joints fail, you'll hear a clunk. They're cheap, less than $100 each. Lower control arms also a good possibility as the rubber wears past 100k miles. Also 100 bucks or less parts cost. Besides suspension? 12V battery. Windshield wiper linkage (bushing...

    Steering Mode - P100DL in Sport lighter than P85D+ in Normal

    Hey folks, I love my P85D+, especially because of the precise, tight Plus suspension driving feel, but the remanufactured battery put in is a ticking time bomb, as I lost the lottery and Tesla is refusing to replace it again even though it's less nominal kwh than my old battery at time of...

    Front cooling louvers

    So, if louvers open and close smoothly on car power up check, but never open when fans high during supercharger (battery well over 40c) never anytime else, either, what's the fix? Asking Tesla to resync? Anything they do they add almost two hundred bucks diagnostic fee.

    Drive unit replacement worth it?

    Battery Replacement Warranty Obligation

    The only grounds are when the refurbished replacement pack does not have the same capacity as the failed pack at time of failure, as mentioned previously, since that is part of the original warranty terms. I have only read of 1 person successfully engaging their service center to have a...

    BMS error disappeared after update

    Side note, you can buy a used IC screen/unit for 150-200€ or $ (newer MCU1 revisions don't bubble) and replace it yourself, it's quite simple and doesn't require any special tools or software tomfoolery, just a swap of the screen, plenty of youtube video instructions.

    Another front suspension control arm failure

    I bet they just didn't tighten the bolts properly. If lower control arm bolts aren't tightened enough they easily loosen and you will get clunks on bumps/divots at low speed. Even the Tesla center screwed me when they did a 300€ alignment and didn't tighten both sides correctly, so it clunked...

    Pre Dec 2014 S Heated Steering Wheel Retrofit

    Can Wall connector bypass car for heating battery directly?

    If the car is plugged in but not charging, as far as I can tell, it uses the energy directly from the charger to run the heater/pumps, etc., and does not charge and pull from the battery, unless the plug doesn't give enough electricity.

    Battery Imbalance after 8 years

    Gen1 HPWC stopped working - NEED ADVICE/HELP!

    It probably got wet inside and some components fried. You have to buy a new one. Or, you can cut it open, very very carefully (don't go deeply, just cut the plastic, with a dremel likely, otherwise you can damage components/ribbon cable), and it's probably just a $6 relay and/or small resistor...

    Only 75 and 90 packs, no one has reported improved charging speeds for the 85 packs, unfortunately. What I would do for its original charging curve, dammit. Probably have to sell this car and get a 90/75, but in Europe, the used prices for them are unreasonably astronomic. 50-100% more than U.S.
