Ahh, that is EXACTLY the same part that died on me and the exact same result. I hope you have a better experience than I did. Hopefully Tesla is wisening up on this simple repair. On a good note, I still love my P90D, it's a dream to drive!

Where are you located? I have never mounted 21" black turbines with brand new continentals. I'm in Salt Lake City though and not really interested on shipping. The roads in UT scare me. I'm running 19s right now and they are fine. Running 21s is concerning me, thus they aren't mounted yet.

This is awesome. I wish we had options in Salt Lake City, UT. I've been looking for this exact install for a while. What is the cost for the install kit including shipping? Maybe I can find a local pro to do the install. Any recommendations?

I would do it. I purchased my P90D for $108k in Nov 2016, saves me about $35k as it was during the transition from the 90s to the 100s. If the difference was just $17k at the time I would have gone with the more advanced model.

Thanks Park and Fiv, much appreciated!!

Could be, they were Michelin PS2 tires. They were under warranty and replaced by the tire shop at no cost. I actually asked for Michelin Pilot Sports, and the manager recommended the PS2s because the Pilot Sports were on a two month back order. They looked extremely low profile on the fronts...

Hey Utah owners! I've been a member of the Tesla family since November. Love my Tesla, but I'm a little scared of the durability. I just swapped out my winter 19"s for my summer 21"s, hit something in the road and blew a tire. How do you guys with 21" wheels do on the horrible utah roads? How...

That's a huge bummer. You are better off with a total write-off if the vehicle. Knowing the repair costs on restoring your car back to the pre-incident state, you MUST take it to a tesla approved shop or it will never be recertified. I can tell you, the repair costs alone are going to be in...

What interior color do you have? I would be interested in a new back seat in black. I have the seat will little contour and would like the one with more support. The back seat in the 2016+ Tesla blows. The ones I want: The one I have:

I hit a curb and broke a control arm. It's a basic repair that took 3 months and $14k to the insurance company. If you are in Utah, you will be referred to the only Tesla shop in the state. Daves Body Shop will be doing the work, I fear your vehicle will require way more work to be done based...

I can't imagine they won't, it's a collision claim. However, the curbing happeneded on Jan 19. I already got a 40% rate increase Jan 1 to be effective Feb 1 for no reason. No claims on record, no tickets, nonaccudents for over 10 years. All I did was buy a Tesla. So I already secured coverage...

It's not a matter of just knowing how to tow heavy vehicles, there simply isn't a way to lift or support the vehicle in many cases. The suspension ended up getting damaged during the tow because the operator couldn't support the vehicle without putting weight in the wheel. Could have just been a...

Nice find, except I have insurance and would rather pay my $500 deductible and have a perfect car. There was also a steering gear that was damaged when the wheel came out of socket. I'd rather be safe and have it repaired 100% correctly given I paid big bucks for the vehicle.

Alas, this is what I expected from the start in the worse case scenario. Tesla would have had no problem fixing this issue efficiently and at a lower cost, but they will not work on collision cars, or at least that's what they told me. * for some reason, notifications quit working so I quit...

Ohh, one more thing. Tow agencies have no idea how to tow these vehicles. They are so heavy and have almost no tow infrastructure to assist the $15/hr noob who does this part time. How about a bulletin from Tesla on that?
