    2014 Tesla Model S 85 - Build Thread

    Windshield Wiper Sensitivity Settings

    I too, thought TACC was standard since 2015 (my 2014 pre-ap has dumb cruise). So I was quite shocked that this 2018 model 3 also has dumb cruise. You're local, I'd be glad to prove it to you in person lol, especially since EVPartsGuy lives in Heinretta and has some spare parts I want to pick up...

    Windshield Wiper Sensitivity Settings

    kevin_n, do you love your Tesla? I love mine, so there are a few drastic ways around this. Example, remove the Tesla wipers and install wipers from a different vehicle or aftermarket. Mount the wiper switch from the other car to the Tesla dashboard, connect the wiring to your replacement wipers...

    Filing Formal Complaint: 057 Technology Battery Plans

    Now the Tesla MCU is the BMD? Interesting. The problem is, the Tesla MCU cellular antenna transmits its data to Tesla only, not 057. > So, all 4 of those yellow highlighted contract requirements have still never been satisfied. -> So, not a single service plan ever activated (according to your...

    Had a break in - need help

    It's too bad you're not up here, my local Autobahn Body Werks would have no problem fixing that. Last time I used them a few years ago their labor was a very low $55 an hour. I received a giant watermelon sized impact to my hood and they fixed it perfect and flawless, didn't need a replacement...

    Good thing we are doing our part to fight global warming! And I completely forgot about gearbox oil changes. Most of us have gone through so many motors that we've never had to worry about changing the oil lol

    Vendor Tesla Model S Battery Extended Service Plans from 057 Technology

    Thank you for your long post. It's extremely refreshing to see you as a normal flawed human, just like everyone else on this planet, instead of as a bully who can do no wrong. I looked up to you, sir. I recommended your parts, services, and extended service plan to my family and friends. So...

    Supercharging waiting makes my friends angry

    Oh man I hope you got a smoking deal on that non-supercharging 60. Like, literally on fire, flames 1,000 ft in the sky smoking deal. The supercharger network is the only reason I put up with Tesla's shenanigans... Did you check if you can use 3rd-party fast charging, such as Chademo with the...

    Well said @CrankyGypsy. I recognize the incredible depth of helpful tesla knowledge JH has shared with the community. I know how he built a P100 RWD, but I can't build the same. He asked for forgiveness, so I suggested he back up his story with first his attorney, then any other additional...

    Vendor Tesla Model S Battery Extended Service Plans from 057 Technology

    You say "I'm done" then come back and threaten, "how dare they draw their own conclusions!" Sounds like you've got plenty of money to burn, after others have been sticking up for you saying "don't call his attorney, JH will get billed!" Your bill will be astronomically higher once you have him...

    Vendor Tesla Model S Battery Extended Service Plans from 057 Technology

    So the only verifiable facts we have here are: - The dissolution of the LLC - The clearing out of the building - The word of only one person that he sold it. Wouldn't it be nice to hear from any other person on Earth that this sale actually happened? His wife, kids, gardener, milkman, mail...

    The attorney or his office staff can answer if he represents JH in these proceedings, or perhaps we can find case files ourselves.

    So do what everyone else on this planet does, and direct all questions to your attorney. What's his contact info? Even if he doesn't answer anything for us... just seeing that he exists, has been in business longer than you, and is known by past clients and other court staff... would do wonders...

    2014 Tesla Model S 85 - Build Thread

    You're qualified to work for Tesla service now. They charged me $1,200 for new parking brakes and broke the wiring clips on both sides, so they glued the plugs on. Those brake motors don't last long in road salt, so I discovered the glue when I went to install yet another replacement set (used...

    Model S Trailer Hitch Installation

    Yes that's what I did. I will share a picture when I get the car back. The motor got coolant flooded June 2023, so it's been at BCH getting rebuilt. They reinstalled it but it still has the "rear motor disabled" error, so we're trying to source a replacement inverter. On it's final drive, the...

    Hey all, BCH has finished my motor rebuild, in the process they found the encoder plug had a corroded wire, and replaced the plug. They are trying to test drive it now but getting di_f072. I believe that's Rear motor disabled - ok to drive. That would be the same code it came into the shop with...

    800W RMS Amplifier install on 2022 model Y with new 15.5V Li-ion battery/AMD system

    I suspect what he really needed was capacitors instead of a 2nd battery. Caps are what I put in the trunk of my Tesla, and it's been running fine for 2 years now.

    Have your service center check large rear drive unit for coolant leakage before warranty expires

    Any update on the prototype? Also, did you see the latest Rich Rebuilds video where they separated the inverter from a P85 motor in that Chevy truck build: wouldn't that also solve the coolant seal problem?

    Butler County Hybrid: We warranty the parts we replace for 1 year. Iso is also guaranteed for 1 year as long as it doesn't get wet from an outside source.

    BCH said they aren't willing to share their source for triple-lip seals, in fear of running out or buying them all and jacking up the price. They rebuild enough of them that they have 2 extra cleaned stators on the shelf to reduce rebuild time by eliminating the need to wait for shipping both...

    If you're willing to sign on outside help, Butler County Hybrid shouldn't be too far from you near Pittsburg PA (shipping companies quoted me $200, but I opted to tow it myself with a pickup and a U-Haul car trailer). They're rebuilding my LDU with a triple-lip seal instead of a single-lip, for...

    Maybe post "If anyone... PM me." Then M0rpH3x could post their success without using their name. I would try it, if I knew a place to buy a salvage car already rebuilt, cheaper than a clean-title. Rich already sold all of his years ago.

    2015 Model S 85D - New Owner

    That's the trade off, the lower your car sits, the less damaging the half shaft angle is, AND the faster the negative camber+toe will eat your rear tires. People have reported new 21" tires showing the belts after 5,000 miles! 19"s get more leeway because they flex and stretch more. That full...

    Excellent choice! Yours, being a D model, will be more reliable than most Model S's.

Keep in mind that virtually all of your Tesla's parts came from other gasoline vehicles, so Teslas...

    800W RMS Amplifier install on 2022 model Y with new 15.5V Li-ion battery/AMD system

    SMD Steve Meade Designs creates pretty insane audio systems, and has talked about "Missing Link" a device that increases ICE alternators to 15.6v or so. This gives him an extra wattage boost out of his amplifiers and he's been doing this for decades, so I would expect most amps to have no issues...

    Salvage cars: Tesla permanently disabling SC from supercharger

    Am I missing something new? As of 2022 there has never been a supercharging inspection, or a single instance of Tesla re-enabling supercharging on a salvage Model S/X.

    For future reference, you can jump-start your Tesla 12v battery with any other car or jump-pack. Then your screen will boot up and you can enable tow mode to release the parking brake and push the car. A jump-pack purchase is cheaper than just 1 tow. Might I suggest you switch your range...
