Separate names with a comma.
I've actually seen first hand what happens when coolant starts to leak in the battery, and yes, things do indeed go VERY wrong. Here's some pics,...
Next time I get a chance, I'll try to make a video. We don't have a Model S in our shop at the moment, but maybe I can at least demonstrate how to...
How much would you want for the steering wheel? With shipping to San Diego?
It's a RWD S 75 correct, not a 75D? If so, that's actually a fairly rare car, but as far as I know, it would have a Large Drive Unit, as all RWD...
It would probably be possible to repair the shaft itself, or just make a whole new shaft, since it appears to be pressed into the rotor and held...
Here's an example of another issue that can be associated with the Large Drive Units. I just pulled this one apart today as the owner their speed...
I'm not sure... Technically, the inside of the motor shouldn't be exposed to any kind of elements period (so normally it should be fine. I'd also...
Thanks for the compliment! This repair (full motor rebuild) costs ~$4,000 at our shop. In the case of that particular drive unit above, it would...
An update to yesterday's motor story. This morning, I pulled out the rotor and found some pretty serious corrosion, and the "front" rotor bearing...
Howdy folks, sit down and gather round, cause I've got another fun story today from the land leaking coolant seals. Today I pulled out this...
Just got the rear drive unit rebuilt in this 2014 Model S last week! While the coolant seal on this one was actually in pretty decent shape, the...
The seal we use is custom built for us to our specifications. As far as I know, there is no source for a suitable off the shelf replacement, trust...
Looks clean! Sometimes you just can't go wrong when the price is right, that's why I bought my 2015 70D with over 400k on it, I couldn't pass it up!
Check to see if the drive unit has been replaced, and I would HIGHLY reccomend pulling the rotor speed sensor to check for internal coolant...
Both of those are large drive units. The highlighted one is the "base" large drive unit, and the other is the "sport" (otherwise known as...
Here's the motor I was working on today. As you can see, the steel bars in the windings and the rotor were both starting to rust from exposure to...
Thanks guys! I started a thread on the site feedback page to see about creating a dedicated sub-forum for repairing/maintaining Teslas (as...
A quick update to that seized up motor that I posted some pictures of earlier. We managed to get the rotor pressed out today, and it looks pretty...
I've been looking around in the forums for any kind of section dedicated to performing maintenance and repairs to Teslas, but it appears the only...
fixyourtesla.com has got all of the service manuals for Model S/X, although it's not the easiest to navigate, and doesn't really give super...
I don't want it to seem like I'm hijacking this thread, but here's one more post on the coolant leakage issue to just to help drive home the point...
BTW, I'm now approaching 416k mi. Since I bought the car in September I've put over close to 8k mi on it (including 2 1,800+ mi road trips) with...
Sorry, just realized I didn't have notifications on, so I never replied to your comment. According to the previous owner, the pack was replaced...
We don't have a RWD/LDU Model S in our shop at the moment, otherwise I'd take some pics underneath to help guide you... I will attach some pics of...
How much are you asking and where are you located?
Where are you located?
Thought this might be useful to post here for those with pre-2015 Model S. If it stops charging on AC power, but will still DC charge, there's a...
I just purchased a 2015 70D with over 400k on it. The previous owner used it for Uber. I'm actually really amazed how nice of shape it's in...
That I understand, those are my main concerns. I actually work on Tesla powered EVs, Toyota Rav4 EV and Mercedes B250e, so I'm pretty familiar...
Hi there folks! I'm looking at purchasing a high mileage 2015 Model S 70D. I was under the impression that they have an 8 year unlimited mileage...
