After some investigation by the SC, they say this is normal and that all their service fleet now doing the same thing. They indicated the copper windings of the rotor are out of alignment. This will eventually lead to a failure, but it might be years before that happens. They stated the...

This looks great and I was going to give this a try, but it looks like no support for Intel Macs. :(

Sure, but neutral guarantees the motor is free spinning. It’s not applying torque to the wheels, nor is it using inertia to charge the battery. So, theoretically, this should remove inverter noise from the equation.

Hello, I have what is a pretty "classic" Model S at this point. It recently started making a new noise I haven't heard before from the drive unit/inverter area. It's not super loud, but it's loud enough to be immediately noticeable to passengers. I've found its directly correlated with wheel...

My 2013 started doing this on both sides. It began on the left, and cycling the lights on and off would fix it. Then it started happening on the right, and very quickly the right wouldn't stay lit at all. When you turn them on it would flash for a second and then go out. So it became pretty...

I know this thread is a bit old, but it's prominently placed in the search results for replacement lug nuts for early Model S. Many of the lugs mentioned in this thread are no longer sold. I found a replacement that looks and works great. Gorilla's 61148FS. The FS brings back the flat top...

Pretty cool they added Shortcuts support, but it makes it a bit useless/dangerous if you have more than one Tesla.

Yeah, they look tiny. It's camera angle, though. There's a little slope downhill there.

Looks like work is now happening on this site.

I just stopped by to ask and Tesla told me they weren’t sure until they got in there how much it would be, but that it might be as much as $1000. They said I’d almost certainly lose my nice chrome metal handle and get a plastic one. Apparently this failure is so common you can buy new...

Our 2013 is doing this on the drivers' side, now. I'm tempted to just let Tesla fix it if it's the $300-$500, but if they replace the nice metal handle with a plastic one I'll just repair what I have. Anyone happen to know what they typically do these days?

Even in California Bay Area cold (35*F and above, usually), with 120V/15A outlets, once the temp gets really low it just maintains. The app will show it's charging but I'm getting 0 miles per hour. Bumped up to a 20A outlet/adapter (home wiring was already new 20A runs) and I'll get 1-2 mph...

Yup, this is exactly what happens. My Model S always had condensation in the taillight. The SC saw it several times. They repeatedly said its normal. Warranty ran out, and now the LEDs are not illuminating in the exact spot the condensation sits. "The taillights are cracked to allow...

Sorry, the 2022s have the refreshed interiors that have a different charging pad so this won't work for you. This will work on all pre-refresh Model Y (so ~Feb 2021 and earlier), and Model 3 back to whenever those started coming with wireless charging pads (2019, I think?).

Recently upgraded to the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Can confirm this spacer still works with both the phone without a case, and in Apple's leather case.
