Nice work debugging it. 👍 So many moving bits, so many possible points of wear.

The motion I’m describing is by putting your hands on the tire at 9 and 3, then pull out with one hand while pressing in with the other, then alternate push/pull, pull/push. There shouldn’t be any appreciable motion of the tire rotating around its polar axis like a coin spinning on edge. I just...

The initial accident (angled impact to left rear wheel/door) also knocked the right toe link loose. This allowed the right rear tire to “steer“ left under acceleration, causing the car to turn to the right. It actually felt like the rear was sliding to the left when I pressed the accelerator...

I finally got my 85D going straight as new. The Tesla SC kept throwing parts at it until they had entirely replaced both the front and rear suspensions - my treat, of course :(. On several occasions, the SC simply missed tighten a few bolts (hey, we got most of them, ok?). One time I was able...

Success! 2015 Model S 85D, Gen2 replacement screen from Chad ReelDealEV. Chad was great with rapid email responses. The postal service tried their best to squash the box, but the screen is very tough, and Chad packed it well. We had a few email exchanges so Chad could evaluate the condition...

If such a simple change makes such a huge difference in serviceability, you’d think Tesla would have implemented it long ago, unless there was a reason. Just speculating, but does it matter whether the head of the bolt or the nut is on the side of the assembly that moves? My instinct says that...

Slight segue to a similar issue with my '15 85D. It was side-swiped while parallel parked. The impact was just in front of the driver side rear wheel. The quarter panel at the front of the wheel well was crumpled, as was the rear door. This happened in a 25mph zone, so I'm guessing that's about...

I just noticed the dreaded bubbles in the top right corner of the IC on my '15 85D. Fortunately, several searches led me to this thread, and I just placed an order for one of ReelDeal's replacement screens. Note that on ReelDeal's web site under the Updates tab there are some photos of how to...
