    Failed Rear Lower Control Arm / Service Bulletin SB-19-31-001

    They did of course not offer to cover any of this, and I will keep the invoice, but I doubt that they will ever cover this repair.

    Failed Rear Lower Control Arm / Service Bulletin SB-19-31-001

    I'm in Denmark, Europe, so I have not filed anything. the car is no longer under warranty, so I will have to pay myself. The guy who towed my car to Tesla, says that the failure is not that uncommon, and he has towed several brands of cars with the same type of failure.

    Failed Rear Lower Control Arm / Service Bulletin SB-19-31-001

    I had the rear suspension failure happen to my car yesterday. Luckily my wife was in a parking lot, so no one was hurt. Its a 2015 model, but must have been produced sometime in 2014. about 100k miles.

    Another front suspension control arm failure

    My car failed this way yesterday, luckily my wife was in a parking lot, at low speed, so nothing happened, but I'm sure worried that this could happen again, at higher speed, I think there would be a high risk of getting killed. It's a 2015 model, with about 100k miles on it.

    I'm shocked, catastrophic failure of left rear wheel

    I have read online that Tesla attributes crashes to have caused the damage, and not the other way around, crashes due to the failure, but since it's hard to prove either way, I'm somewhat concerned about the credibility of these claims, also about the claim that it mostly happens at low speed...

    I'm shocked, catastrophic failure of left rear wheel

    I'm no longer under warranty, but for me the much bigger issue is if this can happen again, and this time while I'm driving at high speed, I would most likely be killed then. I doubt you would have any control over the car in this state, the wheel is off axis and is pretty much touching the...

    I'm shocked, catastrophic failure of left rear wheel

    No, there has been no impact, and there is no damage to the rim, it's just road salt, it's cold and snow here right now. The rim itself is still attached fully. it's the complete wheel and suspension that has "broken off"

    I'm shocked, catastrophic failure of left rear wheel

    Hi everyone, Yesterday, my rear left wheel "detached" from the car! Luckily my wife was driving in a parking lot at the time, if this had happened on the highway or somewhere like that, she or both of us could have been killed. I'm completely shocked that something like this can happen on a...

    In-development: Inexpensive Custom BMS for Tesla Battery Modules

    I will look properly at the code once I get it up and running, waiting for some connectors and stuff, should arrive tomorrow. Maybe I can nail down the bug, most likely a memory leak somewhere. You want to use a rPi because all the rest of your stuff (Grafana etc) runs on that? Are you using...
