Proper fix is to remover the doors and repaint the jambs.

That makes more sense. That car was likely wholesaled to Carmax by Tesla. Have you ever looked up the ownership history in Autochex or Carfax?

Did you buy it new from Tesla?

Plaid with factory installed wood, and 450XXX???

What are the first three of the last six digits of the VIN? Higher than 430?

Premium connectivity uses cellular but cellular is active regardless of premium connectivity. Simply pulling up the map and scrolling around will confirm network connection. You are correct about "by the car" being BS. I had one car physically on the east coast, one showing stuck on a freeway...

How did you decide it was a December car? Is it a long range?

My comment was regarding the Plaid's that were built before the carbon trim was perfected. These have a laundry list of flaws and missing parts. Most were sold to employees and now are old enough for resale. A little more than 1000 cars in that group and the long range are harder to identify.

You don't have to be with the car. Even if they used location services in your phone to compare locations, there are still cars I have acquired that had dead GPS, which debunks that theory. My money is on the car lacking connectivity. Have the dealer send a pic of the car renamed while also...

All I can add is avoid '21 Plaid's with wood interior trim.

Don't worry about transfer from Tesla until you have the car in your possession. The process is simple at that point. In the app you attempt to take over the car, it will tell you a three letter name to give the car which confirms you have access to the MCU, then you photo your ID and...

What part of the warranty are you concerned about? You can have anyone fix a fender and, unless Tesla can prove the fender repair affected a part you are attempting to get fixed under warranty, it will still be covered.

With the last six, I can ask Tesla to confirm the current configuration.

As others have stated, the timing of this vehicle coming on the market would lead me to believe the prior owner transferred the features. However, In my recent experience buying cars SC01 cars for friends to transfer to new cars, the process was instant. The old car changed to "Pay Per Use...

I would hope that you didn't pay so much for a used car that it would have been financially beneficial to go new rather than pay $3000 for repairs. Anyway, you should get an independent mechanic to check out the suspension. Those parts are all available aftermarket and should be a reasonable...

100kWh pack fits in all 2012-2020 S & X. When installing into a pre-2016.5 car you need to replace the orange Rapid Mate top ring with the black low profile part available from Tesla Service for $4.80 (1041311-00-C). Just bolt it in and redeploy the firmware to realize the full capacity of the...

A '15-'16 70D or 85D with free charging would be a good, low-cost, starter platform with comparatively bulletproof motors. Then install a 100kWh battery. Salvage 100D's can be had for $8-11k and your working 70 or 85 pack will still have resale value, so potential break even less labor.

keysavvy.com is super easy. They act as a middleman and, for 2024, instantly credit the qualified buyer the 30% up to $4000. There are others but I only personally know of that one.

An MCU replaced in 2020 would not be able to leak like I see in your pictures. Was that done under warranty? I'm guessing it was the eMMC fix and not an MCU replacement, right? Have you owned it long enough for it to be eligible for the used car tax credit? If you owned it prior to August...

Tesla does not resell cars that are over 6 years old, or have over 100k miles, via their site. Those cars are sent to Adessa, Carmax, Carvana or Vroom for exactly what they offer you.

I logged out of my account and see the same thing but no prices.

Compatibility is listed in the catalog when you click the blue "S". For 1044832-00-A you see this:

Just an extra data point for people concerned about what is possible. I recently installed a 100kWh pack from a 2018 S into my 2017 90D with coil suspension and MCU2. The software process was completed on the MCU without the use of Toolbox. The fact that I do not have air suspension had no...

This is the China related info I was referencing. They never did this for any other market. LOL regarding China's "unique driving environment".

Tesla has a bulletin for China to replace all the arms because they were prone to breakage at the ball joints. I had this happen to my 2017 90D. That motivated me to replace everything in my 2014's and 2015. Also the bushings wear due to age.

Autoparts_Premium on eBay and Amazon.

Not going to have a motor issue on a 90D. Agree that 95k miles on a 2015 is low, not high. 2015 90 is going to be a first gen 90 HV which is sketchy.

Typical for the SC. Get an independent mechanic quote. This is essentially Mercedes style suspension and is all available aftermarket. I replaced every arm and four struts on my S for $1100 in parts. Once done, it is like a brand new car in most cases.

Ouch. That is plain wrong. True the seal is not covered due to it being worn but the resulting damage is covered under the policy. Same thing if your window regulator broke and the window was stuck down due to a rain storm. The resulting damage is covered but the regulator is on you. I had...

Would love to see that denial letter. Mechanical failure is not covered, but damage from weather events would absolutely be covered. This is no different from hydro-locking your ICE vehicle by crossing a flooded intersection. Typically these denials are a quick reaction by individuals with...

That is flood damage and covered by comprehensive insurance coverage. I have personally handled claims like this. Did you not have comprehensive coverage on your policy?

This marketplace listing has expired and has been removed.

No. Comprehensive covers items that are obviously out of your control like vandalism, weather, and moving objects. However, your first notice of loss is everything and exactly why the insurance company records it. If you say a ladder was in your lane and you couldn't do anything to avoid it...

What revision is your Conti ECU? That will tell you if you need to set Conti 1 or Conti 2.

Toolbox 3 now allows this config change. After the hardware is swapped of course.

Hey all, These were discontinued for a reason. They really should have been recalled and removed. While the third row equipped cars have an additional reinforcement behind the bumper beam, most SUV's and trucks won't hit your bumper beam anyway. The aluminum upper structure is unable to...

Just a cap. You could just fill it with RTV.

You need the harness to install the ECU in the car at the right side c pillar. The 1st gen is under the car and you must disconnect and cap the plug.

I have a friend in the same situation right now with his 2013 S. I told him to order a new car ASAP and transfer the free charging before the car is officially a total loss. He decided on a base Highland which will be an upgrade and not super expensive. Another option is to have the shop...

Nice work. I think a one piece design would be simpler. It would also make me more confident that the lower passage would be better sealed when not relying on only two fasteners.

Unlikely to ever get the full version of Toolbox. It contains diagnostics of every issue anyone has ever presented to Tesla, some including video and audio. Many without resolution.

Tesla doesn't see a problem with rotor coolant delete.

Sold.

Don't sweat it. You are in control until you hand over payment.

What was the salvage retention offer? Probably way too high but would be a great data point.

That is for 2012-16 Model S. With that gateway access and the right parts, you will be able to add or remove a second charger in those cars. Single charger cars can charge at 40A and dual at 80A.

I'll sell you my 2018 100D with FSD for $4k and then you can transfer to your new car. Then both of your cars will have FSD.

Keep in mind that delivery of the remains of the vehicle is not necessary. Simply adding it to your app stable will allow you to move FSD to your new vehicle.

If you’re a well established member of TMC, I’m willing to transfer the car to you and accept payment after transfer of FSD is confirmed on your new car.
