This morning on the way to work a truck driver tried to turn right from the wrong lane and cut right in front of my car, clipping my left-front fender in the process. I honked the horn when I saw him start to make his move which triggered the dashcam. However, there is a big chunk of time...

You are mixing my comments with someone else's. My rear drive was making noise and vibrations when the car moved. It was someone else that posted their car was fixed swiftly and included the parts list. That said the description of the rear drive unit on my repair invoice looked to be the same...

Update: I finally got my car back today but not without another round of fighting to get a hold of someone to get them to transport it to my local service center. I was concerned because the text message I got form Tesla said the process (transporting not repair) could take "upwards of a few...

In the link (a)(1) and (a)(3) seem to be in conflict with one and other. What am I missing? (a) Equipment Rated 100A and Less. (1) Conductor sizing for equipment rated 100A or less must be sized using the 60°*C temperature column of Table 310.16. Figure 110-14C1a1 01 NEW (3) If the terminals...

Somewhat ironically, the two biggest problems I had with this experience were inability to contact anyone at Tesla and inability to get a rental car.

They will ship it to my local SC where they will give it a final check and I will pick it up there. Or perhaps they will deliver it to my house since I do not have a rental or loaner to return. But I will not be expected to travel back there to get it.

Update: My car came to life for a short time on Friday morning and I was able to connect with my Tesla app. The location showed the car was at the Tesla SC, instead of on the side of the hwy where it died, and it was inside the building. That was encouraging. Later I got a txt saying the car...

If you zoom in on IMG_0096 it is clear that the feeder going to the left lug is 12 AWG THHN.

Just a little technical nit picking: The fact that the wheel weight is un-sprung does not effect 0-60. The issue is that it is rotating mass. The force that thrusts the car forward must accelerate the entire car down the road (this is linear acceleration). The more massive the car is the...

Update: After spending literally 6 hours divided between trying to find a one-way car rental to get home (there was only one @ $724 for a 2-day min.) and trying through every method I could think of (text, phone the SC where my car was towed, phone Tesla customer service, phone the SC near my...

I it may have made noise from the start of the warning message but I did not take notice until I was on the shoulder trying to see if it really was safe to drive (as the message said). For that argument to make any sense, every tesla owner would need to be a member of this board and every...

The 12v messages did not show up until after maybe 30 minutes of sitting on the side of the road waiting for the tow and started after the second time I got out of the car and back in. The A/C and power steering was working up to that point. There was a bit over 100 miles for range left. The...

It may help to mention that when the car did move there was noise and vibration coming from the rear drive.

Two questions: 1) What is likely to be the cause of the failure? 2) What can I expect from Tesla service: time needed for repair/replacement, getting home (4+ hr drive) if my car is not ready when I need to return, and then how will I get my car back (will they deliver it)? Today my rear motor...

OP used same UMC and home and it worked so that test has already been done. (I believe someone suggested this, maybe I misread) If that is correct and the OP does have a high leg delta system and the high leg was used then that would be the problem and I would predict that the UMC would...
