Seriously... and agreed. I've heard of similar failures caused by stainless steel brake lines that weren't secured properly, but obviously that's closer to the hoses in the wheel well, which this isn't (for all the detectives ITT). Is that his finger pushing it down on the left? If that's the...

Some dumbass at the factory probably shoehorned it in & that last hard brake event was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Just wait and see…

I live my life a 1/4 mile at a time

"Sorry we almost killed you & your wife, but we got it straightened out. Might be able to get you a loaner."

I wore out my MXM4s in <10K miles

WTF

Has to be both because when I put my wheels back on I can torque the rears without pulling my hair out. Wish I could simultaneously Hold the fronts.

Hopefully we get the truth. Wouldn’t be surprised if someone effed something up at the factory.

No - it gets power from emergency leads. I've tested it - others on here have, too.

Plenty of those in sight with Tesla.

19” PS4S 265 square. Total overkill but a lot of fun.

I, too, would exit the brand after something like that. He actually took it pretty well - I'd have gone on a crusade.

I imagine we'd face the same repercussions if we owned our cars outright, but were still under warranty. Having an expansive network of third-party shops that can make qualified repairs would bring costs down for everyone.

Don't you think that if Tesla allowed more third party service into the fold, it would be better for the owner community overall? And prices would come down and service quality would improve?

Yes. Pointless PITA. When I was buying my car, they didn't even know their own financing terms. It took me 25+ mins to convince the "management" that yes, this is indeed what Tesla is offering. I got a whiff of that, also... Although, in a situation like that, I think we'd all be tempted to...

What happens if you just go filter-less?

Yeah I didn't intend for the lease thing to turn into the core focus. It's pretty clear something got hosed-up there between everyone involved. The repair in question is what concerns me. The only "authorized" way to fix this is to replace the entire goddamn battery? iight. They took care of it...

I wonder if this guy will get shafted for an "unauthorized repair," especially on a lease. Coming from a 20 year-old BMW that I kept on the road at minimal expense, this is the kind of thing that scares the hell out of me with this car. Mechanically, Teslae are insanely simple and should be...

They just care about getting it "in da green." If you want a perfect alignment, you've gotta pay for it or DIY it. The laser machines they use also aren't that precise. Nothing beats strings & patience.

That's right - I've noticed this, too. The car seems to actively monitor your correction inputs & then assist in some way/shape/form. I fixed some shitty alignment the other day & the car kept wanting to pull to the right when I let go of the wheel. But holding the wheel straight kept the car...

I dunno but apparently the rear bar is from a Kia Stinger, since that's what Eibach keeps sending me.

I'm waiting until the smell puts me in the hospital to take care of it.

Yes. Let's get real. Driving an EV into a "supercharger desert" means you need to understand: Is there charging? If so, how many kWh? Is it compatible with my car? Can I rely on it being available? How much will it cost? IMO that is the main barrier to EVs - the "tactical" complexity vs...

I read that thing in August (?) of 2019.

Interesting - that might be a recent update to the manual. Don't recall them being that specific about it, but it's good to see they're thinking.

And the question was whether it will still work with the high-voltage battery disconnected, considering it appears there's some amount of "intelligence" in place to recognize a charged vs. discharged 12V battery.

Yeah I gave that a shot too and it worked - struggled a bit, but definitely seems like an option with a fresh 9V. You could probably line up a bunch of AAs and pull it off, also... but you'd have to figure out a way to string it all together.

A bunch of problems appeared the other day on my 2019 M3P: GPS was stuck in one location No cameras worked Autopilot/cruise control stopped working The screen's day/night setting inexplicably wouldn't change over... Just a host of really weird stuff. Most concerning, though, was the fact that...

Update: Answered my own question Happy to report that even with the frunk closed, 12V battery completely out, and HVB disconnected, the emergency frunk release still works. So if for some reason both were to die or have a major fault, you can still get in... Good news... otherwise I would've...

Seems like it. Somehow, mine miraculously disappeared at some point, and never returned... But I haven't tried as hard as I initially did to get it to "come back," since. Didn't take much, though, so I'm thinking it's permanently gone? Who knows. I'm on the OEM wheels now, but I can confidently...

you should carry a spare car

To do what? Totally "turn off" the car? I suppose that could work? Maybe? Open question is whether the frunk is openable w/ the battery entirely removed. Trying that later. FWIW, none of this is scary... My car's sitting outside right now w/ the 12VB sitting next to me & the HVB disconnected...

Then what's the compressor for? or vice versa.

lol wait... they mention "upgrading" to Ohmmu in the official literature? ****ing. Hilarious. I came across similar stuff and that's sort of what prompted me to start this thread... Like what are you supposed to do, shut down the car at the airport & bring a 12V battery in your carryon...

Yeah I think unless you're corner-balancing or going crazy or just want to shorten them for whatever reason... not really needed. I've been on coilovers + sways for almost 2 years on the OEM links, no issues.

Does anyone know what happens if you disconnect the 12V battery, disable the high voltage battery, and shut the doors & hood? Does this mean you're SOL? I haven't managed to do this (yet). Not sure how the dead 12V + auxiliary frunk opening "works." I know you can only open the frunk when 12V...

You may not even need end links... what are you trying to do?

Does anyone else find it hilarious that these will come in 275?

Yes. Cameras are never going to replace a simple effing mirror - depth perception & time to change focus from a 3D to a 2D will always be subpar. Also "true" FSD isn't coming within the next 10, 20, 30+ years. So no need to worry about that. Add to your list that the A-pillars on the Model 3...

I saw an engineer post about his work on eliminating the 12V battery entirely - can't find it, and now it's even harder with all the BS noise about the new li-ion. The basic conclusion was that it's basically not possible. Something about needed a secondary power source to power the main one...

"Conventional" cars are laid out the way they are for a reason. I miss having an HUD and a more cockpit-like atmosphere & am looking forward to an aftermarket company making something like this for the Model 3 that isn't a piece of *sugar*. I've seen a ton of complaining on here about "Hansshow"...

Is the deer ok?

It never fails to amaze me how overly complicated people can make things - I always try to remember that whenever I start getting hyped-up on car stuff. Maybe I'm missing something, but I bought something like this...

Tires should probably be first, honestly.

I’m not sure, I think it depends entirely on your circumstances, setup, road, goals, etc. I just know that “feeling” fast isn’t the same as actually being fast.

He saw the times and thought "God damn, 25 years later and the E36 still can't be beat."
