As requested, the compressor disassembled. Shame there isn’t a rebuild kit available. Plenty of rebuild kits for others. Lots of corrosion and rust but saveable with the right bits, although not 100% sure with this press fit piston ring.

Yes, it sounds like just an air compressor in your case, pulling too many amps due to having water ingress and being rusted and/or frozen like mine. You can take it out and apart to check. Some of it is press fit together so be prepared to use your vice and a hammer and probably order a new one...

Yes it did after a complete power off and back on.

Thanks mate 👍

Not yet but I will once the replacement arrives soon. Will update after.

No valve on the X afaik. Mine also doesn't have the air compressor relay. I just posted my recent repair on the forums.

Thought I'd post this as it may be helpful for others. Especially if you can DIY and don't want to pay Tesla many £1000's to fix these air compressor/suspension-related issues. I started to hear my air compressor turning on a lot more than it used to and it was getting a lot noisier than it...

Thanks for the reply. I'm definitely against Tesla reaching in and doing anything like that without notification first. Is there certain hardware or an MY that will always be vulnerable to rooting or could Tesla stop that also? If this q is better replied to via PM, please do so :) Ok...

Thanks for the info. I have a lot to learn!

Oh, ok. My understanding was different. I thought this was held car side and the restriction was put in place as a safety measure to stop battery damaged cars using that feature. This makes sense of course but if the car can be inspected by an expert over here and they are happy with the...

Thanks, yes did gather it was a PITA. I'm not really interested in paying out thousands to Tesla to certify it if there is a way to enable Supercharging again from a third party. @Ingineer @wk057 Can you shed any light on this?

Hi all, great forum! Been lurking for a while but needed to start asking some questions. I'm looking at buying a crash damaged S. Staying away from flooded. This could be either a cat S or N. I'll be doing most the work my self but may need to pay for some services/expertise if needed. Has...
