Emailed, and Carl, thanks for doing this.

Yes indeed not weird at all. It is all about the budget. How much can you spend in any one month. No doubt the other will be replaced as funds allow.

Excellent work!

I tried to up load "sounds of the pump" yet the files are too large. Sorry.

Correction: Coolant Pump: Parts Replaced or Added PUMP-ESS COOLANT PCA12 (2004503) Total Job Parts: 410.00 Total Labor & Miscellaneous Items: 175.00 Grand Total $585.00

That is a great Muppet display! I will look for the original recording and a new one to post. I'm pretty sure I still have it.

From the invoice: RR SPR AND DAMPER ASSY (1007226-00-A) $1,185.00 Original Bilstein strut.

OK, so not real exciting stuff here. Just mundane service for good old 2008 Very Orange Roadster number 425. For several months we'd notice the coolant pump would sound like bearings squealing when it first started up. That is never a good sign so we had the Seattle Service Center order the...

Todays update. I resealed the dried out vacuum booster pump and used Marine Goop on the gaps as I've had good luck with it in the past. I also sealed the end of the rubber boot on the electrical connector that originally had cloth tape covering the end. I did use the 3M adhesive on the Velcro...

Why that must be the Dog Island ferry out of Anacortes. I love taking it to the fun run each year! Maybe next year I'll take the car instead of walking on.

A similar thing as Tex EV reported just happened to me today; loss of vacuum assisted brakes. The previous night we had been out driving in heavy rain. When I got back home, I checked the forums and TaDa! You came to the rescue. Vacuum pump started working by the time I returned to the garage...

I have two on order from Tesla; 2003740 - GAS STRUT TAILGATE $81.58 each.

I used it twice to make sure the service center and I were talking about the same part. Glad to have it available.
