    Has anyone repaired cooling louvers?

    Tesla says my cooling louvers need to be replaced because they don't open when they are supposed to. I have seen my cooling louvers open occasionally so I'm not sure what the issue is. They were pretty rude at the service center. I asked them what the issue was since I have seen the louvers...

    Additional Warranty on MS worth it - please advise

    The house always wins on additional warranty when the house makes a good estimate on how much they might have to fix. Considering the frequency at which certain parts break on these cars. When Tesla first designed them they probably were expecting them to last longer and that figured into their...

    Rear door wont open if front door is open

    Thanks, but it is too late now haha. I wrapped up everything nicely in electrical tape. I believe it should be fine but I ordered a couple rolls to have on hand! I could have but I did not want to splice the rubber boot. I think its pretty important to keep the elements out and I did not want...

    Rear door wont open if front door is open

    You don't need to buy a new harness, just need to fix the relevant wires. Just so you know I fixed all the wires and the door is functioning 100%.

    Rear door wont open if front door is open

    Door harness. I disconnected the wires at the door hinge. I had to disconnect two from the inside by taking off driver side kick panel and the rest I could disconnect by pulling on the wires. This pulled the plugs through to the outside and I could disconnect them. Then I disconnected all the...

    Rear door wont open if front door is open

    Haha that is what happened to me. I kept messing with it but I did not want to screw around too much in case it triggered some code with the short and I had to take it to Tesla to get everything reset. I figured I would just live with it. However, my poking and prodding made my door completely...

    Rear door wont open if front door is open

    I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole if I had warranty. I'm really surprised the wires broke like this. With all the door handles issues and this it seems that Tesla uses lower quality parts. I would get as much stuff fixed as I could before my warranty is over. After that its the wild Wild West!

    Rear door wont open if front door is open

    So it is 100% a hardware problem. I’ve found four broken wires and another wire that was on the verge of breaking. All located in the door hinge location. Another wire has no continuity but I can’t find a break in the door hinge region so I’ll have to take apart more of the electrical tape and...

    Rear door wont open if front door is open

    This issue has been going on for several months for me, it is not related to software. I have done several updates and the behavior has not changed. Found 4 wires with no continuity all going to door control module. Took harness out of car, will track down the break.

    Rear door wont open if front door is open

    Per electrified garage folks: Thanks for the video. You'll want to take apart the drivers door and take a look at the wiring harness with the accordion covering on it where it transitions from the door to the body of the car. It looks like wires may be broken inside of there and by positioning...

    Rear door wont open if front door is open

    I am on the latest software update and I tried a factory reset. I'm 100% convinced it is a short in the driver door wiring harness. I can hear some arcing when I open and close the door. I want to pull the wiring harness and test the wires for shorts. This looks like it's going to be a pain. I'm...

    Rear door wont open if front door is open

    We have an odd problem with our door handles. They all function fine most of the time but the drivers rear door handle will not work if the front door is more than halfway open. I took the door panel off to disconnect the front door handle in case the door handle was causing this issue. I have...
