Just brainstorming.... What would make the door open by itself? A sensor or switch closes on erroneous handle movement. What would make the handle no longer pop out, and make a grinding sound? Paddle gear I would suggest ditching the DIY mentality here, though. I just got a door handle...

I originally had my LDU repaired at QC Charge in Nov 2022, due to a wet speed sensor. The LDU or other components had not failed. At the time, "Coolant Delete" was not available. The motor was rebuilt with new bearings, the sub-frame was reinforced, the single flange seal was replaced with a...

Same thing happened to me....the light would come on, then go out. "Service mode" troubleshooting was no help. My ride height sensor was bad. Maybe your ride height sensor is going out. I don't think you'll get stranded. I would wait for failure, or you can lube all four sensors with silicone...

Didn't know which of the 20 door handle threads to choose, so here goes.... Service Center replaced my front passenger door handle on my 2013 MS, with a Gen 2.1 handle. Immediately after, the front passenger and rear driver's handles present, then immediately retract. After retracting, if...

The suspension menu in service mode looked no different than outside of service mode, with no errors showing in suspension or alerts. Changing wheel calibration solved the problem, but after a 15 minute highway ride, the problem returned. No yellow suspension light on the dash, though. Again...

Similar problem here.... I took my car (2013) in to get the "Coolant Delete" LDU, so rear subframe was dropped out of the car. When I brought it in, air suspension was working perfect. Within 5 minutes, on the drive home at highway speed, I got the yellow suspension light on the dash, and the...

@Zuikkis - excellent post and summary, link in post #2 of this thread. Thank you! I will move my comments over to that thread. If I knew how to delete this thread, I would. Brian

After good success of adding LED lights to my motorcycle, the Tesla is next. I am going to add a 28" long, single row LED light bar where the bottom grill currently is located, see photo. How does this grill come out? How is it assembled to the car? The two grills shown appear to be two...

Here's what I have in my notes. I live near Old Town San Diego. I combined parts and service shops together. I don't know if any or all of these shops are still in business. EVFixMe 1666 Superior Ave, Unit A Costa Mesa, CA 92627 (833) 383-4963 [email protected] Dragonfly Auto 4055 PACIFIC...

Continuing and updating my comments from post #30 in this thread.... I had my LDU rebuilt by QC Charge in San Diego, CA in December 2022 for $5,500. To restate, I had a great experience at QC Charge. 11 months later, in Nov 2023, I have a wet speed sensor. Maybe the "drain kit" also...

Mechanical drawing here, post #12 https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/7928628/

Gruber Motors in Phoenix, AZ has designed and built a replacement part out of aluminum for the high failure plastic part in the window regulator. It was $31 including shipping I have reversed engineered this part and created a drawing. I contacted Gruber, and they said it was OK to post. I...

As mentioned in several posts on this site, in my opinion, the drive unit design is defective. You are replacing a failed unit with a "new" unit, but the new unit also has the same bad design, if you have a car with a Large Drive Unit (LDU) in the rear...

I have a 2013 MS also. Two years ago, it was easy to figure out that the A/C system in this car had never been serviced. I had Tesla service replace the desiccant bag. This way, I also got the refrigerant done on the same job. Two years ago, it was $330 total, $11 of that was parts.
