Same here...WTB tow hook for my '13 MS. Anyone have an extra one? I live in zip code 92110 Thanks, Brian

Thanks Newby. I am familiar with the nose cone jump set up. I am trying to relocate the main negative wire on the 12V battery. One end will be on the battery, the other end at a new location. I am asking if anyone knows where the stock location is.

I have a 2013 85kW car. I am used my previous ICE car, and how easy it was to disconnect the negative wire from the battery to perform electrical service to the car. Does anyone know where the negative wire from the battery grounds to the frame on a 2013 car? This is what I am interested in...

How to replace charge port I have a 2013 85 kW car, with manual charge port door. Have software update pending prior to starting job (see section below) Roll down driver's window! You will not be able to get back into the car if you do not roll down the window. Disconnect 12V and fireman's...

Maybe someone can benefit from my stupidity... The true cause of the problem was the metallic disc from the charge port door being stuck to the charge port 100% of the time. The car interpreted this as though the door was shut. That is why the charge port lights were not on. Today, I charged...

2013 85kW car Car charges OK. No other issues. Ever since I've had this car, for the last two years, the charge port door would not open by itself. I have to use a credit card to pry open the door. Works great every time for last two years. Two weeks ago, I used the credit card again, but...

1118 cap works great. • Roughly 2 hours required, from prep to clean up • Engage "jack mode" • You may want to suck out most, not all, of the old brake fluid prior to starting • Use a jack stand for safety • One wheel at a time is OK • Bleed screw at the caliper is 11mm. Open...

Does anyone have a link, or from their own car, know the speaker sizes, quantity, and location for a Plaid car? Internet searches only say 22 speakers. Thanks

Thanks for your replies. The Bluetooth "media" option is no longer available, or not even listed, in the car. Looking into the app settings on the phone. Thanks

I have a 2013, no auto pilot. Every time I get in the car, the car pairs with my phone (like I want), and starts playing music that is on my phone (that I don't want) How do I turn off the music option, but still have the car pair with the phone for phone calls? Brian San Diego, CA

Another friend got me into selling Melaleuca products for 2 years. While that did not pan out, their lotion, called "Renew", works great. It is available on eBay. Melaleuca Renew Intensive Skin Therapy Hand Wash Refill 18oz -Refill Bottle Only | eBay I am not the eBay seller for the above...

Many years ago, a friend who owns an auto body shop said that women's hand cream works for leather. I've been using ever since, cheap, works great. I'm sure there is a religious aspect of this to some people, similar to "Which oil should I use in my ICE car?", but many of the leather products...

I have one of the lower control arms for sale for $55 plus $30 shipping. https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/pts/d/san-diego-tesla-model-rear-suspension/7338632264.html Reply via the CL ad Brian

Just my 2 cents.... As a design engineer, I would need a filter for outside air, for bugs, leaves, and debris. I would not need one for inside air. Inside air may have cigarette smoke and some particles, but not enough to justify the additional cost, parts, design, and needed real estate in...

Thank you for your replies, however my question was not about which lube to use, but after you have whatever lube, how did you apply it to all four rails, for the entire length of the rail? Did you remove the sunroof (doubtful)? My SC quoted $117, and mobile service too at my place, so 1/2...

There is an existing thread for this topic... Sunroof lubricant? I recently took the MS in because the sunroof was "stuttering" a bit towards the end of travel while opening. I asked the tech what they used to lubricate the tracks so I could DIY in the future. He showed me a container of...

There is an existing thread for this topic... https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/sunroof-lubricant.46421/ ...but it ended up in the "Interior & Exterior" sub-category with no exposure I have a can of white lithium grease, with a straw to direct the spray of the grease. Stupid question...

Any help with this? My Service Center just quoted $117 for a 5 minute job. What is the best way to lube the sunroof rails?

Stupid question, but I can't seem to reach the outer sunroof rails, specially in the back part of the sunroof travel. Same with the inner rails. I can the front portion of the travel, but not the rear section of travel. Any tips? My sunroof is sputtering.

Agreed. Watch the whole thing. On my car that has 115,000 miles, should I change the Dextron 6 gear oil?

I have an Aug 2013 build with MCU 1. I bought an Atari adapter http://www.2600-daptor.com/index.htm and old Atari 2600 paddle controllers. I tried this setup with "Super Breakout". No luck. I then bought a generic Logitech USB controller, model number G-UG15. This Logitech controller...

I have the replacement control arm for sale, $99 plus shipping. They are symmetric, and work for either side. PM me.

I had a similar clunk, and split boot on one of the sway bar links. Aug 2013 build. I replaced both sides, for $50 each in parts, $100 total. Simple fix...it took me 1-1/2 hours to do both sides. Put car in Jack mode Put one wheel on jack stand Use floor jack to support whole steering...

I have Gen 1 seats in a Aug 2013 build. Can I swap out just the bottom cushion, to Gen 2 to 4? I want the side bolsters that these seats have. I may even get the existing one reupholstered. Brian

Airsailor, Sorry to hear about your ordeal with Tesla. If it is any consolation, this thread you started may help others (like myself) be proactive, and it may actually save someone's life. This type of failure at highway speeds may be fatal. I was also shocked at the "$200 per hour" labor...

I got two control arms off eBay, one for $190, one for $200. My local shop put them in for $220 labor for both sides, so my total cost was $610. Reading the very first post in the thread, where a failure costs $4,000 per side, $610 is worth my piece of mind driving down the road for the life of...

My apologies if this has been answered already in this thread. I didn't have time for all 59 pages. I've learned from my Service Center that the previous owners were vigilant with maintenance and repairs, and told me that the full MCU assembly was replaced in December 2017, and the screen...

@'Merica, In my opinion, it is a part number that is defective, not a VIN. The service bulletin says "Replace part X with part Y because part X may fail". Up to you, but I'd disregard your VIN, and ask yourself if you own the defective part number, and you said yes. I own the old part...

I just found their ad on Craigs list for Tesla repair, including eMMC upgrade / replacement. Has anyone used this shop? Any feedback? What service did you have? LUXE ELECTRICAL 5820 AUTOPORT MALL SAN DIEGO, CA 92121 TEL: 619 535 7000 619 315 4222 https://www.sdteslaservice.com/

Just trying to learn more about this, as my car is a Aug 2013 build In this rear suspension photo, the arrow points to the place of failure. Correct? Does anyone know where the part number is located on this part? I am curious if a previous owner already fixed this on my car.

@demundus You made your own control arms? Can you reply with a drawing or how you made the part? How much did it cost?

I already have this hitch installed, and you're right, the wiring was frustrating. You would think the wiring would be easy. What is the heaviest trailer you have towed? It is rated at 2,000 pounds total, with 200 pounds tongue weight. On a recent tow, I guess that it was 2,200 pounds. The...

I created a taller bracket for the Thule roof racks. See attached drawing At the bend line (the dashed line), bend the sheet metal part up 70 degrees The other photos show before and after this modification. My total cost was $35

This is an excellent thread. I read all ten pages. I'm sure it will save me $1,000's in the future, as I have a gen 1 DC/DC in a Nov 2013 build car. The continuity checks using a electric meter shown in the YouTube video These checks can be performed while the unit is still in the car...

@Rockwell What city in Orange County? I am in San Diego

Do you have charging at work? Or walking distance to work? Is the supercharger near your work? I bought a 2013 with free supercharging two months ago, and I love it. Out of all of the bells & whistles, that is the feature I love the most. I live 2 miles from a supercharging station. I bought...

As I read in other posts, I put a piece of Scotch tape on the magnet of the charge port door. Not 100% fixed, but I'm getting a lot less errors. Worth a try at $0.01 for the tape. If it is ever stuck shut, take a flexible credit card, and simply lift the door open. Very easy to do. Your issue...

@Akikiki Thank you. I showed up at my local SC this morning with a 6 pack of Heineken beer. No luck getting a full printout, but they told me that the full MCU assembly was replaced in December, 2017, and the screen was replaced in June 2018 (meaning that the screen only lasted 6 months)...

My 12V battery is tucked away, prior to the "right behind the frunk" 12V battery move. I have a single motor car, Aug 2013 build. How to get and remove the battery is well documented. My idea is to relocate the negative cable so that it is much easier to unhook the 12V electrical system. I...

I have LTE. Since that is the case, is there a way to know when this was upgraded? Thank you. I am in San Diego, so I would easily drive to you, if needed.

I just bought a 2013 MS with 100,000 miles on it. How do I know, or how can I check, if this eMMC repair has already been completed? Great info and thread! Thanks!

Thanks ThomasD. Yes, that is the "1 inch thick rubber" idea, but one single bolt for mounting if I made custom racks would work real well.

I have a 2013 MS I want my roof racks to be 1" taller, further away from the glass. Some ideas... - I can buy 1" thick rubber for $40, and cut to size - I can weld & build my own separate racks. I can use one bolt per corner, but I would want to remove the small "door" that covers the threaded...

Any way for the text message to appear on the dash, or on the main screen, and not read it out loud?

I agree with HustleSimmons. Check the battery sticker behind the front passenger wheel. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right, and you'll see it. I doubt the seller will let you, but if you drop the rear bottom trim, you can look at the motor sticker also. I just bought a 2013, so I...

I replaced my struts in an ICE car before. As in any DIY job, first time is a bitch, but after that, it is easy. If you replace them as a unit, and don't have to mess with the spring, a much easier job. I have not investigated strut replacement in a MS. Maybe two people are needed for your...
