Okay so I've sorted my FWD's out myself. I used a low-profile ratched and a Torx-40 to loosen the two bolts that secures the bracket-plate. By moving the bracket left and right, one controls the panel-gap on both sides. By moving the plate inward or outward, one controls how flush the FWD will...

Kids, riding along in such luxury cars, should not complain. Spoiled brats.

I just replaced my stock 20" Michelin Lattitude 3's with 20" Pirelli Scorpion Verdes. The Verde has a little bit less dampening of its own than the Lattitude's. But as I drive in Sport mode most of the time anyways, it's not an issue at all, just something I noticed. I'm quite happy with the...

Hello all, My passenger-side FWD alignment is ok, but what my OCD can't ignore, is that at the very bottom, it should come outward 1 to maybe 2mm to make it really flush with the rest. Looking at the "thing" in the sill where the door "grabs" inside the sill (so to speak), I see a recessed...

Howdee Folks, Can anyone tell me what color this MX is?

Please don't pollute this Thread with MS information. This is an MX thread.

Still good. I drive on Normal (and goes automatically to Low when on the freeway). Still happy.

Yes it's fixed. Nobody can tell what these new axles will do in the long run but i'm on 7200km with these new babies and they are doing great. Newly produced car's will have the new generation of front axles. If cars that are currently on stock already have them? Maybe, maybe not so ask the...

Pre-Raven has a different front-motor. The shudder was, contrary to Raven, not caused by the half-shafts (they merely got damaged) but by the clevis-mounts. Tesla re-designed the mounts and since then, pre-ravens don't demolish half-shafts anymore. Raven already has the new clevis-mounts but had...

Ok I got the bill. Here is what it says (relevant part, translated from German): ___________________________________________________________ Kilometer: 24179 (that's 15112 miles) Symptom: Vibrations during acceleration Work Description: General Diagnosis Work Description: Halfshaft - Front...

Sorry no. I normally received the bill after a repair (even if under warranty) via Email but not this time. Asked for it but received nothing so far. I also did not receive the usual post-service-customer-satisfaction survey Email (and I'm really satisfied about this repair ;-)

Apparently, Tesla could not develop a good product with the "old" manufacturer so they went to somebody else. The same happened with the FWD mechanism during the development phase. Supplier A did a bad job so Tesla started doing business with supplier B so to speak. Happens all the time in the...

Likely because there where still plenty of "previous version" shafts on stock which needed to get rid of first. The new shaft variant is really "hot off the press" from what I understand.

There is a solution now. READ HERE: The shudder problem: Current status (end of February 2020)

Update on my original start-topic in this Thread: I had both front drive-shafts replaced yesterday. Car has a little over 24000km on it since January and it was not worth changing them until now because they would simply mount the old, flawed design which shudders just the same. Waste of time...
