First off, I am helping a friend sell his Model S. It's kept here in Wisconsin for use when he's visiting his Vacation house. He lives out of state. I'm helping out as I'm in Wisconsin, though not local to where the car is, and he like driving cars, but not working on them or dealing with them...

Need Help finding Bushings for EV Tuning Adjustable Camber Links. For those unaware, EV tuning made adjustable camber links a couple years ago, but had a bad batch of bushings. First install lasted 5 minutes before they were basically mush. Not going to go into all the details, but got a...

Head scratcher.... So here's he deal. 4 years in a row. What happens, overnight, my MX fob battery dies. I replace it, and within 20 minutes, it drains the new battery dead. Replace again, same thing. This happens yearly, almost exactly 1 year, +/- 1 month. 4 years in a row now. First one I...

It's been a Long....Tesla Week...... Took the kids to school in the Model S, blower worked. Came home, started firmware update. While that was running, took the MX to service center for a flaky passengers window that stopped rolling up and down earlier in the week, that magically started...

Went out last night with the kids. Before we left, I rolled passenger front window down to yell to my son to grab something from the MS before getting in the MX. It worked fine from the drivers controls. Son gets in the front, and we start driving. Wind noise seems worse than usual. Try to...

Hello All! See attached photos. All components were working pulls. The Model X components were due to Tesla Service going on a "Parts Swapping" expedition to try and find the source of a noise, which ended up being a sway bar bushing.... The Model S parts also working pulls. I changed to...

Looking for replacement bushings for rear camber and toe arms. Tesla will only sell the complete part. Not looking to go special performance, just factory equivalent. I changed to adjustable links, but want to "renew" my old OEM's as spares, and really don't want to spend a couple hundred for...

I put together a little DIY to resolve the Creaking & Squeaking of the upper control arms. Low cost, less than $30 first time and then about $0.25 each time after (if your jumping in to this without a grease gun). Should take you just a couple minutes to do. In most cases no need to pull the...

Hello all, I keep finding diagrams for Model S's, however I need Fuse number and location for lighted Mirrors, TMPS & Dimming rearview mirror. Last weekend, my TMPS light started flashing error on my dash and TPMS no longer reports. At the same time it was noticed that the Sun Visors lighted...

We were one of the FIRST Tesla Destination charging locations in Wisconsin(Before it was even a program!), and THE First Hotel/Motel/Resort in Wisconsin to have dedicated EV Charging (Early 2000's!). As such, we have/had some of the oldest (Early Production) HPWC's Tesla produced. They have...

Lesser known issue that is more common in the snow belt area is the Lower Steering I-Shaft U-Joint. Problem is that it is more exposed to the elements, and subject to Water, Snow, Salt, Sand, Dirt, and anything else that can be kicked up by the drivers side tire while driving. What ends up...

I havent used Enhanced Summon much, as it's been more of a parlor trick that is of questionable functionality (Especially after it almost ran my son over...). Now that weather is getting colder, I've started using it in emptier lots. Or such as at the grocery store, load groceries and have the...

For those who got the invite to the Model Y and couldn't go because Tesla ran out of room, they said we'd get invites to the next Unveil. Well, we're one week away, anyone get that invite yet? I'm getting nervous, need to book plane tickets, need to arrange to have someone help watch the kids...

I'm owed at least 1 if not two founders' powerwalls yet from referral programs. Waiting and waiting deadlines provided by Tesla have come and gone Multiple Times. Then, earlier this year, around April I believe, A random email from Tesla gave remaining people who did not get referral...

opinions? Noise occurs while moving, any speed above 0 and below 20, while applying any type of power. Does not happen in regen, coasting in neutral, or reverse. I can vary the pitch and loudness of the noise by applying more accelerator, and it does not matter the speed, as you can hear in the...

Looking for just a charge port. Let me know if you have one from a junk vehicle or otherwise. This is for a experiment ;)

So I was mowing my lawn, and my mower quit. It was about 15 minutes before the rain was to start, and I had 1 acre left to get done (Would take about 5 minutes on my rider or about 1 hour with a push mower of any type). I tried everything I could think of to get it running again. Cranked...

Hello All, Just wanted to give a EARLY heads up, the SECOND Annual Wisconsin Dells Tesla Get-Together will be held on the 30th of May this year. NOT the weekend of the Automotion Car Show. That was a nasty mistake last year and will not be repeating! Also, the Sandrift Resort ( Sandrift Resort...

Help, I am not able to dig through the forums right now. Put in the J1772 adapter. Immediately red ring, "Pull Over safely vehicle shutting down" "12v battery low" "Vehicle Needs Service" "Contact Tesla Service". I tried rebooting, but nothing I do will unlock the locking pin holding the...

Process of resetting your clock to correct time/time zone. Little trick is to tap the clock on center console three times. Bwamo, done :) Thanks to Kyle @ Highland Park Service center for this little trick!
