    DIY Steering Rack Replacement 2016 Model S

    Hi, I used the motor that came with the replacement rack but they should be interchangeable. You just need to remove the three bolts securing it and make sure you tension the original against the belt before tightening them back up.

    DIY Steering Rack Replacement 2016 Model S

    No coding is needed, there are just two cables to plug in. The rack is a fairly standard one made by Land Rover. Seems to be the same as that from an Evoque. Only its the LHD version that fits into RHD UK Tesla's. However I purchased a used one that came out of a Tesla to be safe...

    Tesla Wall Connector load sharing protocol

    Hi, I have TWCManager running with the modified code from SparkyPete to link it with my Powerwall. One thing I would like to change is for the scheduled charging time, I need to have 30 minute increments and not just hours. The reason being that we have an EV electricity tariff from Octopus...
