I attempted to copy your leak test. In a bucket of water at 30psi on a tyre pump, no air leaks. I think the bead of sealant worked.

I put a bead of gasket sealant under the lip before I pressed it in. I like your pressure test system. I'll try that.

That's one thing I don't like about my old S, can't have a towbar.

2014 Model S 85

I have a 2014 85S. It had a new drive unit 5 years ago . Recently, I've heard a humming noise on regen, but only after a long journey and the drive unit is presumably hot. I wasn't sure if it was the motor or the tyres, as they are almost due for replacement.

I'm trying this setting: Display, energy saving, always connected. So far it hasn't failed where it has before.

I had similar on my 2014 S. I bought several handles on eBay when I found them at a good price. I swapped parts from one to the other until I had a functioning handle. The part under the large star drive bolt is a pressure sensor I believe. The wires had ripped out of mine too. The bolt can set...

2014 S mcu1 2022.8.10.17: still playing up. Changing to wifi hotspot did not work. Had to reset it again.

I had 2022.8.17 last week. I didn't notice text size changes

I downloaded that last night. Not tried it yet

Downloading it now

If there is nothing loose , the thrust angle is probably out

Are there any shortcuts to changing the manifold? Would it be possible to drop the subframe just a little, leaving the drive motor supported in place?

Same here. I drove 60 miles up the M6 to Manchester and I had to restart it 3 times

Thanks for the advice Howard. Now I have an excuse to buy a small mill. The base of my cup is about 6mm thick, so I'll remove another 3.

This is my idea for a coolant delete. I obtained a second hand manifold and cut off the rotor tube. I belt sanded the stub of it to below the level of the circlip. I made an aluminium cup on a mini lathe and pressed it in. The depth of the centre is 12mm. I hope that is deep enough. I'm not...

I am on a trip to the south west from the midlands. I had to restart it 3 times on the M5. I thought it was fixed , but it seems to depend on the area.

Mine doesn't seem to work. I have a 2014 S with standard audio.

I think they should appoint a coach builder to convert the new S to RHD.

I like to tour around the uk. From my experience, charging in Scotland is much easier than in Wales.

My on board charger failed 2 years ago, Model S 2014 85s. I had the ccs upgrade at the same time (UK), £3,000

I'd like automatic speed related volume adjustment. My 21 year old Jag has it.

I drove the North Coast 500 in October '22. There are carparks and lay-bys on the route. I made window blinds. It's acceptable to stay for one night and move on. I charged on Charge place Scotland chargers. I found that charging about 20kwh per day, the battery kept the cabin warm enough...

Mine seems to be working. Not had to restart it for a week...

How conductive is G48/water coolant ? I'm just wondering if the rotor shaft cooling had a secondary design purpose. I watched a Weber YouTube about a hyundai drive unit, which had carbon filaments touching the rotor shaft, to save bearing arcs. Could the rotor coolant have been designed for...

I wish they would hurry up and fix it. Mine has been playing up since November: navigation, phone calls, spotify, tunein. It works on a hotspot, but paying for data then.

These are the closest i could find.

Where would i find that DU01 ? I assume you don't mean on sticker

My 2014 85s drive unit was changed in July 2019, under the previous owner. I believe it was new (see photo).I just checked my speed sensor for the second time. The first time i checked it at around 20,000 miles, it was greasy. This time, 50,000 miles, it was completely dry. So i hope I'll have...

If that's the case, would there be any merit in reversing the coolant flow through the whole drive unit? Would doing that cause the rotor seal to leak more or leak less?

I had thought along similar lines, diy method. However, thinking about the QC charge and tesla revision u manifolds, there would still be coolant flowing near to the end of the rotor tube. Wouldn't there be some cooling effect due to conduction through the motor end plate, hot air escaping the...

Recently, my navigation instructions gets the roundabout exit number wrong, as though it expects to drive around it anticlockwise.

I'm having the same trouble RH drive, UK. On a journey, I lose Spotify, tune in and traffic. It's been happening for about three months.

Is it possible that when the brake pads were replaced, that someone tried to top up the brake fluid level, but poured it into the coolant tank?

Why can't oil be used to cool the whole drive unit, inverter and rotor?

Did yo Did you cut the front lower aft link bolts? I spent 2 hours cutting one side off using a black and decker scorpion. The other side I cut all around the bolt then tightened the nut to snap it off: much quicker.

I agree with this. This week, I had to replace the front, lower aft links as the MOT tester felt movement. I hadn't noticed it. After changing the links, the ride definitely improved.

My 2014 S (RHD UK), mcu1 has frozen several times in the past three weeks. I rebooted it 4 times, but it froze again. The last thing I did was power off and wait 5 minutes. It's been ok since.

Could be worth changing the app password. The Russians are hacking everything they can

Good advice, but I'm sure I read that silicon can cause aluminium corrosion. Duralac (Duralac Anti-Corrosive Jointing Compound Yellow | Shop4Fasteners) might be better.

Perhaps related: when I had solar, pod point and Tesla model S, before I had the powerwall fitted, the pod point would trip in bright sunlight. Pod point altered the settings. In bright sunlight it charges at 7kw. Other times it's 6. This stopped it tripping. Regarding the powerwall, mine...

I'd like to know how the estimated range is calculated. Does it use recent wh/mile figures? The reason I ask: my average wh/ mile charging overnight at home and in warm weather is about 270 or less. Assuming 80kwh is available and that my maths is correct, that gives a range of 296 miles...

I had that issue, sitting too high. I used a block of wood and lump hammer to lower the flange and nut that the outer part of the wiper assembly bolts to. I also inverted the tube/washer in the rubber grommet. This allows the grommet to squash lower when bolted. My next step was going to be...

I have a 2014 S. The front pads were seized into the calipers on both sides. The inner sides or the disks were dished. I replaced both pads and disks.

I occasionally had the 'key not in the vehicle' message in my 2014 S. It did respond to the android app commands. I restarted the screens and it hasn't happened for a while.

I had a knocking noise over bumps. It was the towing hook bouncing under the carpet in the frunk.

I think it could be the toe links. I found the torque setting was not enough to stop the cam bolt moving. I tightened them 1/8 turn more and it's never moved since.

I wonder if someone could produce a pump and heat exchanger to replace the water cooling in the large drive unit with oil cooling. Then couple this to the water cooling system.

I had a knocking sound on my 2014S. It was the towing hook bouncing under the frunk carpet. After I packed it with cloth, the knock was gone.

I had problems adjusting my 2014 S hood to fender level. The adjusting stops had no effect, still too high to the right fender. I took the hood undercover off and retested ; the level could be adjusted on the stops. I found the profile of the undercover didn't match the hood underside (see...
