    Salvage 2022 model s supercharging?

    I have a 2022 model s that was salvaged due to a small suspension accident. Supercharging has been turned off and I would like to have inspected to have tesla re-enable supercharging. But, when attempting to do this, the service center (macadam avenue in portland oregon) said tesla has not...

    Internal docs indicate Tesla to allow salvaged vehicles back on Supercharger network

    I had my M3 turned back on and it has been just fine since. Price was about $1500 after all three inspections.

    2017 Model S75 MCU2, Rooted 25k miles

    This is a beautiful 2017 first refresh model S. Mileage is only 25k. Title is reconstructed. MCU was upgraded to MCU2 so it runs Netflix, Twitch and has cupman and other games. Both screens were upgraded when the MCU was upgraded. It has also been rooted with supercharging back on. This was done...

    Ride height calibration

    Hopefully you have just the rj45 connection. Mine was the new, but slightly old, special connector. So I needed the media converter, special cable, rj45 to usbc connector and power supply for the media converter. Have you pulled down the panel beneath the mcu screen yet to make sure you have the...

    Model S Refresh - sliding center console door no longer stays open

    Finally had the time to pull it and play with it. Seems the little wire that guides the slide into the locked position had somehow wiggled loose and was not guiding it any longer. Played with it a bit and it now works. Retracts a little faster than I would like, but it is retracting where it did...

    Ride height calibration

    Here are the bolts to measure to. When looking at the bottom side of the car, it is near the rear axle and is the only one on each side that is recessed. It makes sense once you see it. Anyway, I shot the actual bolts and then a side view to show how it looks when staring from the side while...

    Ride height calibration

    I will shoot a photo of the bolts you are to measure to. They are fairly obvious when you are under there. Everything is flat excpet for the bolt that is in a recessed area. In the front it is a 25mm bolt and in the rear, it is a 15mm maybe. I used my father in laws driveway which is flat and...

    Ride height calibration

    The measurements are at the front and rear chassis bolt heads to the ground. Today I measured with the car at very low and the measurements were 119 and 115 in the front and 124 for both the rears.

    Ride height calibration

    You guys rock. Following that procedure worked like a charm. Mostly. Seems that my car times out about half the time when running the raise to very high and very low in the level the air suspension. I started with very high and then had toolbox take it to very low and then I did the...

    Ride height calibration

    I will try it again this evening when I get home. Thanks for the help so far. It would be great if there were an actual manual on how to do this in Toolbox. The regular service manual is not quite clear on the toolbox portion.

    Ride height calibration

    So, raise to very high and then low. Enter toolbox. Reset the caliberation. Read the ride height through toolbox? Measure the actual height from the chassis bolt to the floor at the 4 corners. Open Caliberate the suspension in toolbox under actions. Enter in the actual values measured on the car...

    Ride height calibration

    So I have a question about the procedure of the caliberation. Hopefully you or someone else will be able to help. I have a 2022 Model S. The right front shock was damaged, along with the inner tie rod and a few other suspension components. Those have all been replaced and the car is working...

    Model S Refresh - sliding center console door no longer stays open

    I have mine mostly apart right now. I need to unplug the wires and then remove the top portion. I am hoping it is an obvious repair once I get it off. I will report back once I get to that stage.

    Model S Refresh - sliding center console door no longer stays open

    I would love to have a part number or service bullitin for this as well. I have a 2022 and the sliding lid does not stay open. Just closed. Massive pain as you have to slightly open the lid to remove a drink. Hard to do while still keeping a hand on the yoke.

    Toolbox use on Model S Plaid

    Has anyone tried the BroadR-Reach 1000BASE-T1 Media Converter H-MTD to RJ45 Ethernet to connect to a refresh model s? It does not have the toggle switches on the side, but everything else looks to be the same as the technica engineering unit.

    Toolbox connection and use for suspension

    I have a 2022 Model S Long Range that I replaced one of the air shocks on. It was in an accident previously. No airbags deployed, but the driver side seatbelt was locked up so I had that repaired and cleared. The shock and the upper control arm were replaced and I get messages on the screen that...

    CCS retrofit check before soldering

    Before I solder all of this together, I wanted to make sure I have things going to the right place and the resistors going the right direction in the flow. I have enlarged all the photos of others kits, but for the life of me, I can't see clearly the way it is all joined together. Is this all...

    Ben Kirsch @ Aftershock Garage Not Returning Calls or Emails

    Ben is back at it and doing well. He had a few personal issues, but did great work on my model S. I do recommend him. I will admit, I was quite nervous there for a while.

    Fault tracing for PTC Heater

    If you go on Telegram and look for Taras Sorokivskyi. He can gain access to your car remotely using linux. You will need the cable and give him access to your laptop. He can then open it up and redeploy the firmware for a small fee. Nice guy, but fairly busy. There are also folks around here who...

    Ben Kirsch @ Aftershock Garage Not Returning Calls or Emails

    I hope my story is not going to end the same as yours. I dropped off my 2017 Model S to Ben for repair. He is not returning calls, emails or texts. The shop has been closed each time I go by. I have left messages for him every day for the past two weeks. I did speak to him about two weeks ago...

    Tesla S 2019 Air suspension is not available

    I did not. The service center was nice enough to diagnose it for me. was a bad hose and fitting.

    Tesla S 2019 Air suspension is not available

    Part three is not completely true. Tesla is paranoid about anyone having access that is not them. So, most body shops do not have toolbox (I found out by going to them and asking them to connect). They said they do the body work, and then the service tech comes out and makes the final tweaks...

    Tesla S 2019 Air suspension is not available

    Mine ended up being a faulty hose to the motor. One of the copper compression sleaves was bad. Once that was replaced it started working right.

    Diagnostics and repair

    On the model s of my year, there are two places to connect that I have seen. The autopilot module above the glove box has a 4 pin wire going to it. You unplug it and connect your network cable to that. This is the port that should unlock the other port, which is beneath the MCU and above the...

    Diagnostics and repair

    Both of the fuses were replaced as that is the first thing all the forums suggested. Both fuses were good. One of the techs at the service center was nice enough to tell me they thought they would replace the ptc heater next to see if that fixed it. So I did that and the same error occurs. Fuses...

    Diagnostics and repair

    I have reached out and they are not able to do diagnostics remotely at this time. There are a few places here in Oregon who also do electric cars and they are too busy to take it in. I may have someone who is willing to at least look at it next week. I still would like to figure out all the...

    I will definitely start there. It seems that we should not have to reinvent the wheel to diagnose and work on our cars.

    Diagnostics and repair

    I did not figure this out. I have purchased a peak can reader and various wires to go with that, but still nothing. I called several tesla 800 numbers. They all claimed to not be able to help me and sent me to the service center. I have communicated with them via email and text several times and...

    Tesla toolbox issue

    Not sure. I don't think the computer looks at every item, just the major ones. I could be totally wrong though.

    Tesla toolbox issue

    I don't think it matters on the headlamps, fog lights or radiator. It starts to matter when the items have computer controls. At least I think that is the issue.

    Diagnostics and repair

    I have a 2017 MS. I am working on it myself. I have a PTC Heater problem. It will not communicate with the CAN. I purchased the subscription to toolbox from tesla, but they are not helpful at all. I have the network cable and have connected it to the jack under the MCU. I have changed the ip...

    Tesla toolbox issue

    The unofficial tesla tech site has been down for quite awhile. I have tried to get there a few times with no success. I am not sure how to drop seceth. Sounds like a dance move. LOL. Tesla makes the website fairly lame for getting toolbox. I have tried to find the download for toolbox 2 and...

    Tesla toolbox issue

    I have several questions as I went to tesla and have toolbox for a month. My car is a 2017 with mcu1. Because of this, the network port under the mcu is locked. The knowledgebase states that it must be unlocked remotely. I had someone connect to my car remotely from the Ukraine. He had me plug...

    Free Access to Tesla Toolbox

    I think the fakra cable still works, but I am not sure it is all you need for toolbox. I know the fakra cable (network) connects to both the autopilot module plug above the glove box and the jack under the mcu. Depending on what you are doing, it will communicate with the car from both...

    What cables did you use to connect? I have access for 30 days, but when using my network cable, it will not connect to the vehicle. Does it require a can cable as well?

    Fault tracing for PTC Heater

    I have a salvaged Model S. I have a warning on the dash that the heater is not available. The service center did a few things on my car before telling me they were not going to provide any support for my car as the title is not clean. The service tech did tell me that he thought it may just be a...

    I traded in my Model S for a Prius Prime

    I purchased a 2017 Prius Prime Advance when they first came out and were not available anywhere. We lucked into one that someone had ordered and then could not get funding for. Top of the line and it was about $37k. Way too much, but did have the $7500 rebate and we had just been paid a good...

    Random plug?????

    I am hoping that is it, but something tells me it was plugged into something. There is one that is tight to the firewall that is not plugged in, but it is tape wrapped to the other part of the wiring loom. I may just have to purchase a cable and pay for the day use of "toolbox" to get this...

    Random plug?????

    Is there a good place to get a wiring diagram for the 2017 Model S? I am sure I can track down the wires on that and find where it is supposed to go.
