Hi! I own a 2013 P85 that starts to show signs of pending eMMC failure. I would like to take a backup of the certificates and other files from /var, and it seems that the Debug port that can be accessed for that purpose. Do I use a standard USB cable or I need to get one with a special pinout...

The base of the problem seems to be the rubber boot that initially failed, letting grease out and water in so the ball joint corroded. When the OP adjusted the suspension to the HIGH position to make it on the bad road, this created the pulling of the ball from the socket of the ball joint...

Btr's flooded car is indeed a 85 or P85. As MP3Mike says, it is thus equipped with Supercharging enabled. But the thing is: if you get your hands on a donor car, such as the one I pointed to you, then you will have access to ALL the electronic controllers, complete wiring harness, all modules...

Btr_ftw, for my part, I firmly believe you can achieve running state but with the need of a donor car, for the replacement of the various parts that are needed and would be uneconomical to obtain from Tesla at the replacement parts prices. I would suggestion this auction for you...

As I see it, there is very probably too much electrical parts that were damaged by the saltwater with lengthy exposure to reuse those parts to reconstruct the flooded S. However, all body parts look like they are in very good condition. The best way I can figure to attain the goal of a fully...

There are 6 IGBTs for the heater unit, that must probably be used to switch on and off the current from the main battery. The part numbers shown on the pictures are K30T60A and K75T60A The datasheets for them are easily...

I have read in numerous threads some problems associated with the 12V lead acid batteries in various battery electric vehicles. Tesla had a batch that was of poor quality that got to be replaced, I read on another forum a similar problem with a Kia Soul EV. It seems to me that the 12V lead...

Just for reference to BTR_FTW, this thread gives very good indications on how to remove the frunk box: P85D under-frunk photos Hope this helps, Franky

Well, that's a relatively good news! So the flood to the car was at a level that did not reach the air filter. I would suggest that you remove the liners around the frunk so you can check the various items there, which includes the 12V battery and the air suspension pump, among other things...

The wheels and tires are reusable, as for the frunk hood, the doors, (for lightly accidented model S), The trunk is usable, certainly the air suspension struts, The front fenders. Franky

It seems clear to me that the 12V battery is dead. But, if you go to charge it up and the car start communicates with the Tesla corporate network (either by the cellular link or by wifi) then corporate can deactivate the car. You might want to remove the cellular sim card and make sure that no...

I purchased a 2013 P85 CPO. My car had it's front brake pads (inner side) completely jammed in the calipers. This was not checked or inspected on the delivery inspection. The pictures and remedy are posted on this article I wrote: Lentretien préventif des freins avant de Tesla S | Roulez...

The suggestion seems interesting. Just for info,those gears are named Herringbone gears Herringbone gear - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Francois 2013 P85 30000miles, original DU.

Front wheels inner brake pads jammed - on both wheels! I had a indication that I had a brake problem when I noticed some brake dust buildup in my front wheels. That dust buildup was not much on the rear wheels. So, I jacked the car, and tried to spin my front wheel by hand. I got some...

In Quebec, 99% of all electricity produced is from renewables - Hydro and wind. Presently there is not Time Of Use (TOU) pricing. Cost of electricity is the same during all 24 hours. This makes the PW return on investment very far in the futur. Solar grid-tied PV systems are the economic way to...
