    2015 S 85D 305k km, Fix or sell for salvage?

    Found a great team of professionals, through a post mrElbe had made, at Evolution Racing on Brisbane in Toronto(GTA) that were able to quickly help me find someone to sell the S85D to for salvage. Highly recommend giving Tito or Bruno a call if you're looking for pricing on repairs of any make...

    3rd party Tesla mechanic in GTA (Toronto)

    Thank's mrElbe, using the name and address you posted above I found Bruno at Evolution Racing along with Tito the founder. They helped me arrange selling our S 85D for parts, and it was a great experience to meet such a team of professionals.

    3rd party Tesla mechanic in GTA (Toronto)

    I have a Tesla S 85D currently at the Innisfil service center. With it being eight years old and 305k km, and it's passenger rear suspension having failed on 14 Feb Tesla's estimate to repair it, along with replacing the left rear and front suspension due to age and rust (cost $14-$20k) I am...

    2015 S 85D 305k km, Fix or sell for salvage?

    A month shy of eight years and our much loved S 85D has finally had a failure that is simply too much to consider repairing.....or should we take the $19k gamble? Quickly, after it being suggested, during an unrelated service visit in January, that the rear suspension be replaced due to age and...

    Wiki Consolidated eMMC Thread (MCU repair) (Black Center Screen)

    Similar to several others who've posted we also had paid for the repair, at Tesla Service May 2020, however the result just posts ineligible after clicking submit and the top fields are blank. Also paid late in 2018 to replace the SD card and still have that receipt as well. Are we supposed to...

    A/C Compressor finally failed. But $3400??!

    i wouldn't be surprised that an increase in failure of AC units for models affected by the May 2019 update imposing charge rate and battery capacity (batterygate chargegate) are related. Our 2015 AC has recently failed and we're nervously waiting for our SC appointment in anticipation of yet...

    MCU1 S Owners: Logic FOR/AGAINST Tesla's $2,500 "Infotainment Upgrade"? (Not required for FSD)

    Not interested in upgrading to watch Netflix when the battery range and charge rates should be restored for our generation of car to what we'd purchased. Seem's costly to spend $2500 USD so we can be entertained longer while having to wait longer to reach 80%. Restore the vehicle to how it was...

    Tesla Offers $2,500 Infotainment Upgrade

    Sorry to vent however gradually becoming more and more frustrated with reading all the joys of a $2500 upgrade when there are issues with these generation of vehicles with MCU1 that Tesla should be fixing first. While having the ability to watch Netflix when supercharging, or not needing to...

    Losing charge while car is plugged in

    Yes it is normal to drop a small amount of range overnight and ambient temp can play a part. Think it can also depend on the generation of the car though. Since the battery and charge limits forced on our 2015 S85D last year our vehicle now runs it's cooling fans regardless of the ambient...

    Adding a 60 amp circuit for a HPWC. 200 amp service.

    We put the HPWC on a 100 amp circuit so it maxs at 80 amps, back in March of this year. So much better than the 32 amps off the 40 amp 14-50 we used before. The electrician will give you the proper answer based on your service. however you basically would have 160 amps of useable from the 200...

    I have to make this confession...

    My signature sort of has it covered when it comes to our mileage. We're in love with the car still after three years and all the km's or miles. There is a daily competition in our home of who's driving the most that day. Took it to Key West - Mile Zero last year, can't wait for cross-Canada...

    Tesla Model S recall email

    Seems like they do, unless they just take the car offsite for the day. I'm normally getting a service appointment at the same time based on our mileage and how it seems to match the seasons, so i'm usually gone with a loaner and never asked if they take them away for it. This visit in April...

    Could the HPWC status LED be re-designed

    As the subject reads. I'd like to have the HPWC status LED re-designed so it would be horizontal instead of vertical. Change the colour to, red when not charging, orange for trouble, and stay green for the charge, but lastly and the main reason for changing the orientation, then i'd also like...

    Did you name your Model S, and if so, what?

    Started out as Blue Rocket, these days it's the same as the plate. Not1Drop. First Tesla I saw had a plate that read "No Gas" and that concept just stuck for the name of our car as well. Granted often people that don't realize the car is electric will ask if i'm an alcoholic instead.....

    How Much Would You Pay for MCU2 Retrofit?

    Would definitely appreciate a snappier browser, although as others have posted I'd need to see something more than just a faster processor to run the screen and apps before the cost, which I expect will be higher than $1k, could be justified. If it involved a better cellular modem and more media...
