    Cyberhammer Order

    I would prefer to have #420. It's gonna go on the wall above my signed wall connector. I am curious how they will handle tax reporting, since it doesn't have a clear value. Will be fun to see where #1 shows up.

    Cyberhammer Order

    I've got a Cyberhammer on the way, wondering who else is in? I'm very curious what will show up... Would like to know the size and weight, so I can determine how best to display it. Certainly will not be used at the gym.

    Steering Assist Reduced

    It's not really an integral part. Tesla just refuses to repair; they rip and replace. Steering assist assembly electrical problems are common.

    Steering assist reduced ... Not a steering rack but bad ground.

    This post shows where my ground connection was found; Steering assist reduced ... Not a steering rack but bad ground. This was the picture of my original ground connection condition. And here was the finished repair showing the new ground connection.

    Steering Assist Reduced

    Sometimes the steering assist firmware cannot be update because power was lost to the steering assist assembly during an update. It's another potential indicator of a bad ground or other wiring/corrosion issue.

    2022 MYP Steering rack Failure. Tesla DENYING warranty coverage due to aftermarket wheels 20x10 with 275 40 20 set up

    Rather then see this thread drag out, I worked with the OP, who was able to get Tesla to replace the steering rack under warranty, which did resolve the problem, although was probably entirely overkill, but as has been stated, they will not service the rack beyond R&R.

    Steering assist reduced ... Not a steering rack but bad ground.

    Here is a wide view of the location on my 17 S100D. Note the white circle. The connection is kinda tucked behind a metal bracket, which makes it hard to see. (this is what a NJ car from 2017 looks like!!!)

    Little rattle on front suspension- out of warranty options?

    Taking out of warranty cars to Tesla is such a waste. They can't diagnose at all and they only recourse they provide is R&R. As I mentioned before, what unlocked this issue for me was using a acoustic diagnostic device, like this. It lets you isolate the component where the noise is heard the...

    Referral increase for X and S to 20,000 credits

    The referrer only gets a credit if the buyer is a net new customer. In your case, it was converted to a loyalty credit, which benefits the buyer but not the referrer.

    2018 model maintenance costs

    If you aren't having any odd tire wear or vibration problems, I wouldn't bother with an alignment until you replace or rebalance your tires. With stock Tesla suspension, only small alignment adjustments are possible, using eccentric bolts. I would also suggest checking; Forward control arms...

    Anyway to reach out to the Tesla Referral program?

    The buyer was a net new customer who did not previously have an existing account? It sounds like it was converted to a loyality bonus versus referral.

    Tire Replacement Suggestions for 22' Model X Plaid

    I'm running the Hankook ION EV AS on my Model S and my buddy is running on his Model X (we got them at the same time). Best EV tires I've run yet, more efficient than any previous tires I've tried and by far the quietest. Plenty of feedback in this thread...

    Not receiving loyalty credits and Tesla is telling me to kick rocks

    The referrer only gets a bonus if the buyer is a net new Tesla customer. If the buyer has an existing Tesla account, then it converts to a loyality bonus only for the buyer.

    Referral increase for X and S to 20,000 credits

    Were you an existing Tesla customer when you used the referral link? If so, it will be converted to a loyalty bonus, which have the same benefits for the buyer but no benefit for a referrer. In order to get the referral, the buyer must be a net-new Tesla customer.

    Used Model S vs New Model Y

    I have a 2017 Model S and 2022 Model Y. I prefer the Model S, it was $120K new and you can tell... but I would not suggest one out of warranty.

    2023 Steering Wheel Vibration model Y

    Most likely a road force balance, which is considered a wear item, but if you complained under 100 miles, it will often be done as goodwill. If a balance doesn't solve, then I would start looking for a bad tire or rim.

    Steering assist reduced ... Not a steering rack but bad ground.

    It's a 2017 Model S 100D. Yes, it was out of warranty. Fixed for under $10. The steering rack setup is a bit different on post-refresh MS. I would certainly like to think a 2023 would not have developed any corrosion problems yet! However, if the problem comes back after a rainstorm, or...

    Hankook new iON tire, an "EV" tire (not the same as Kinergy GT)

    I've got about 2000 miles now on the Hankook ION EV AS tires on my '17 S100D. I am seeing slightly better efficiency. Prior, my average Wh/mi for long trips would be around 300, rarely below, and now I can achieve 280. They get a little loud when cornering aggressively, but otherwise no...

    Little rattle on front suspension- out of warranty options?

    My 2017 S100D has around 77K miles on it. I had a noise from the rear suspension, which turned out to be a failed bushing in the driver side rear toe-arm. I got a little carried away and used this as an excuse to upgrade to adjustable camber and toe-arms. I don't have the invoice in front of...

    Little rattle on front suspension- out of warranty options?

    Little rattle on front suspension- out of warranty options?

    In theory, any shop can work on Tesla suspension, but its probably still best to find one that has worked on Tesla before, knows the proper lifting procedures and is able to source parts if needed. I can recommend Evolution Autosports, they are in PA not far from NJ. In my experience, the NJ...

    Confused? MY biodefense have it or not?

    An hour? Maybe the first time. It takes me under 10 minutes to strip the frunk and access the filter. I was pretty happy to have it when the air quality tanked in the northeast this past week.

    Model Y Long Range tire Upgrade? Size?

    On the MY, I'm running Hankook Evo ION SUV in the summer and Goodyear Wintercommand Ultra in the winter. I've also run and would recommend Continental Crosscontact RX, good tire, even though speed rating is lower. With Michelin, would only consider if they on sale at Costco. The Pilots are a...

    1 week old Model 3 P - tire vibration - warranty?

    This is unfortunately not the way the Tesla service system works. Every service request will generate a quote, which must be authorized, and if the condition is found to be covered by warranty, it will be changed to no charge. Understand your desire here but this is how every warranty claim...

    1 week old Model 3 P - tire vibration - warranty?

    What should really happen, is they should charge you a 1-hour diagnostic fee to identify the source of the vibration. It could very well be an out of balance wheel, or a number of other things. If you really believe it's wheel balance, just take it to your local costco and balance the wheels...

    Using Leasehackr tips for Mercedes EQS vs Tesla X lease

    Tesla lease programs have low RVs, high MFs and they keep the rebate. Combined with minimal discounts, no special features and no buyouts, they only make sense in certain situations, and sometimes in certain states. If you are looking to minimize monthly payments on a Model X, I would look...

    Error message: Steering assist may be reduced

    The vehicle is still driveable, without power steering assist, the wheel will actually become easier to move at higher speed, the problem is maneuvering at low speed is difficult. Not enough details here to speculate further, but the Land Rover power steering rack Tesla uses has a pretty poor...

    Hankook new iON tire, an "EV" tire (not the same as Kinergy GT)

    I've been trying these tires at different PSI... Running them right now at 37 cold and around 41 warm. Down a few psi from where I am generally running tires on my Tesla (40/44). Anyone else got a preferred PSI on these?

    NJ Transfer Plates Process

    Tesla will provide a NJ temp tag good for 30 days. But you cannot legally drive with your old plates on the old car during the transfer period. Usually you will have to surrender your old registration card, but Tesla is lax about this. It will take about 30 days for Tesla to get the new...

I expected...

    Steering Assist Reduced

    The steering assist motor uses it's own ground wire connection to the frame rail. This connection can become corroded over time, or broken by rodents, and once you loose ground continuity, strange power assist behavior ensues. I would check to make sure this connection is clean on stable...
