    Suspension Problem on Model S # ? - my story

    TY Severiner. Well, just close the chapter on this whole ordeal… I got the car back and it drives perfectly... which is how it drove before the suspension snaped in the first place… I did find out though that my HV battery was replaced "recently" so I got that going for me, which is nice.

    Suspension Problem on Model S # ? - my story

    ngng, thank you for your thoughts what I find particularly disturbing about the picture of your X is that the blue paint that aligns the nuts with the surface that it's retaining. It's clear to me anyways that the suspension had never been tampered with as all of the blue paint aligns and...

    Suspension Problem on Model S # ? - my story

    Good advice and sadly I concur. Yeah the MCU thing was so messed up I was on a waiting list for the new chip for the MCU1 that I just actually tired out and upgraded to MCU2.. Which conveniently they had on hand… Took my MCU1 as a core. The profit of a new plan but they certainly weren't shy...

    Suspension Problem on Model S # ? - my story

    Thank you for your feedback Newscutter. I agree it's not really worth the fight because there's no one to fight. I never thought about this before I became a Tesla owner and investor but the fact that it can only be repaired at a company owned service center really ties your hands. At this...

    Gixx - thank you for your research. I've seen other service bulletins related to this but nothing that included my Vin number. Perhaps if I show the link to this to the service center the road have something to chew on. Thanks again for your help!, Ed

    Also I encourage anyone who has made it this far to read the Twitter link in my original post I'm not saying it's the Bible but it sure does sound like the why behind these poor castings… God forbid something happens to somebody as a result of this and is hurt or worse. Us Tesla shareholders...

    Suspension Problem on Model S # ? - my story

    Thank you for your reply and I hope you're right they are going to do a battery analysis before I pick it up sometime in the fall :-) I know getting a new battery proactively is a pipe dream but one must aim high and go from there. I'm not trying to get a free battery I'm trying to make sure...

    Suspension Problem on Model S # ? - my story

    Hi I'm the proud owner of a P85D. 88k miles. Without any provocation, I suffered the very frightening rear control arm snap and had the car flat-bedded to the local service center where they drew up an estimate for $5500. I was going to sell it for a MX, but now I can't even do that as my car...

    The manual states that the car's air suspension will automatically level on charge?

    OK so I believe what I can conclude hear from my nearly week knowledge on the subject that the self-leveling occurs independent of it being charged or not being charged. I will take you up though on your advice to check the various connections for leaks. As I write this it's 20° out, however, as...

    The manual states that the car's air suspension will automatically level on charge?

    Why would it, as it is stated above, self level when the power is "off" (without it being plugged into a charger) and not self level when it's on the juice? I'm not trying to create any discourse, I'm just trying to figure out, potentially for the mutual benefit of the membership, an answer...

    The manual states that the car's air suspension will automatically level on charge?

    I definitely will do that. Of course the temperature here in Boston has gone from 60 days ago to now 20 with 6 inches of snow on the ground. unbelievable… Thanks, Ed

    The manual states that the car's air suspension will automatically level on charge?

    MP3Mike - I am not posting all of the citations to be a wise guy, but with so many mentions, I'm just perplexed that this hasn't been really spoken of… At least my search button can't find it anything as to why this may not be working... Also, I have no fault light illuminated on the dash). On...

    Mud tires M/T on 19"model S

    You're right I just re-checked the tires that I said were 45s and they're actually 55s which would throw everything off by about 8% so no good there. I have another question for you and the group. Is there anyone out there making 18 inch steelies for the MS? That would be the ultimate! Thank...

    Mud tires M/T on 19"model S

    Hi All, This might sound a little bit crazy and I think it also might be crazy but I would be interested in putting my tires or M/T tires on my P85D using 19 OEM inch rims. I can't seem to find any out there except for one that I find, which about $370 per tire. As this is a crazy experience...
