Just sold my 2014 P85DL+ to Vroom. I was going to keep it but finally decided that the potential out of warranty costs were just to high. This was my 3rd Model S and I enjoyed them all. Next time I will lease if possible.

it seems reasonable to me. the cars are expensive to own out of warranty. best of luck.

Thanks for the update

My P90DL was V2 and it was going south pretty quickly prior to the buyback.

It took about 14 hours total over 2 days. I moved the UV light to each of the corners. Yellowing seems to be gone for now. I am surprised it worked. The yellow banding was much worse in person but here are the before and after photos. I will take to Tesla if it comes back. This was worth the...

Going to give the DIY route a try. Will post photos. Amazon will deliver the UV light on Dec 2.

Enjoy the car!

Not much hope of Tesla replacing a battery until it actually fails and then you are only promised to get a battery in "like" condition to yours prior to the failure. Tesla has not be replacing failed batteries with new ones for some time. Everyone I am aware of has been a refurb and they do not...

I have the identical car and am also watching. best of luck.

On D models the swap is pretty easy. you just remove the frunk liner to access.

I was never able to find just the shock. Tesla wants 900 each for replacements.

I lowered mine just over 1" using these links: Tesla Model S Evolution Lowering Kit | Airmatic Lowering Links very easy DIY project.

As the OP is still a student I would strongly suggest finding out how much insurance is going to be, before buying any Tesla.

if you like the car and the price is right . . .

about 165.00 if memory is correct

with the torn cv boot I would expect the joint to be bad. you will have to get the entire axle. several places online to order them.

Interesting that it was a lowing link. Glad it was an easy fix.

I picked up my parts from Rebuild Master Tech in Ft. Lauderdale. You can give them a call, their tech support answered all of my questions. Here is a link Rebuild Master Tech Air Suspension, Engine Parts & More... Keep us posted

Swapped mine out years ago. Much better than stock.

Good luck and have a great trip.

keep us posted.

+1 for Hockey Pucks. I keep 4 in the frunk.

Looks great. I may have to do this if I keep my car. Thanks for sharing.

I had to rebuild both of my rears. I never got an suspension warnings. It would just settle all the way down overnight. Keep us posted on how it turns out.

you can check the air shocks with a bit of soapy water. They are fairly easy to rebuild with new O-Rings. Several threads on it.

I am sure they have a ton of data to work out their product pricing. It was a bit of a let down to read the exclusion list.

from their contract: (I attached the full text). Brent says they cover up to 27k in repairs but not the important mechanical bits.

Congratulations and I would say drive and enjoy. The car should be pretty much trouble free after those repairs.

From your write up I am not sure what is happening with your car. Do you have access to the service manual? I can see if I can find a link for you to download it.

I have been out of warranty for a while. I just rebuilt the rear air shocks due to corrosion around the bottom O Ring. No other issues with the car. I was lucky to have the door handles updated and the MCU replaced before the factory warranty was up. In my case, I have to consider what is left...

I emailed them and did receive a quick reply but it did not mention when they would be in stock.

I have been reviewing the items that are not covered by X-care (section 4 of the contract). The list is quite extensive and should be reviewed carefully. I am having trouble finding the value in their coverage after reading so it is likely not a good deal for me. Brent has been great in...

lots of good info in this old thread

I am guessing a sensor is bad. I've purchased parts from here: https://rebuildmastertech.com

Thanks for the write up. Please keep us posted on your progress.

I don't know if Tesla still leases the Model S but if you want to drive a Tesla long term I am beginning to think that leasing works out to be less expensive. I'm on my 3rd Model S now. I've been out of warranty for some time now. I just rebuilt the rear air struts which had leaky bottom gaskets...

bump.

I ordered 49x5 O-rings from McMaster and they fit perfectly on the stock strucks.

check for corrosion at the bottom of the air strut lip. spray a little soapy water up there and if it bubbles then you have found your leak. It is possible to repair. I expect that most of the cars that live up north are going to have this problem eventually.

It is fairly easy to rebuild the air shocks. They start leaking when the corrosion builds up and the O rings can not seat properly. Cleaned it up and reassembled. Problem solved.

Mine just updated to 2020.48.37.1 - not sure where it was before.

thanks for the update.

Also trying to find this information for Broward. Anyone have updates?

Same here. Passive entry off. Get the same alerts.

Tesla, love the car - the company not so much.

sold my 70D 2 years ago to Vroom. Good price and super easy.

My 12V died suddenly, luckily in the garage. Called Tesla SC, had battery in stock. I think 162 dollars and 30 minutes to swap the batteries and I was back in business.
