This morning I was greeted by a burnt plastic/rubber smell while car was still preconditioning (plugged in). This is the first occurrence and have checked the charger and was not hot. The smell was coming from the front of the car and I am wondering if it can be a failed PTC or AC compressor...

Hello everyone, Have retrofitted the LED headlights in my 85D few months ago using the emulators from Evetesla.com. All good, until tonight when car started to flash using both the turn signal and the high beam when turning left. Initially have thought the amber LED is dead and was a “feature”...

Hello, As I am trying to get a battery tested, the current options of paying it, shipping it to a shop and verifying are not great. In case it’s not doing well I will still be out of pocket 1000$ Was looking at the harness that connects to the LV port on the battery to check its vitals (PCAN-USB...

Have seen many posts/reports where everyone is praising city consumption as being so good in comparison to the highway one. Don’t know if I should look into other possible issues, but as soon as I get in the city (summer or winter), the mountain in the consumption graph appears. The local cities...

Today have experienced during a supercharging session (19-86%) some very loud fan noises with refrigerant temps reported by SMT above boiling (115 Celsius). Have heard the fan so loud during last few weeks AC sessions to the point I went in the garage to check the noise I was hearing 2 floors...

Hello, Have seen several DIY success stories about pack replacement or upgrade and was wondering if I should attempt such myself or not. Why not going to one of the resellers here you might ask. Simple…none are in Canada and upgrade prices to a better 90/100 pack are high even with a pretty...

Hello, My car with air suspension developed a creaking noise over small bumps in the last 3 days on front passenger side. Removed the wheel and tried to pry the control arms but was not able to reproduce the sound. When I lowered the car, this is what it did: All suspension arms except the tie...

Hello, My rear toe arms are shut. Figured out too close to a planned road trip to order adjustable ones. After checking to the local SC, the part is for one side is 115CAD and the install 750CAD. Was wondering if there is a problem if I DIY it and cut the bolt and install a new one from the...

As I am experiencing some weird behaviors lately, have started looking into what can cause them and what should be the expected performance from such pack. At this point naming it 85kWh is anecdotal, but I’ll stick to the label. Early cars are prone of failure due to water infiltration, very...

My usual commute in the morning is around 20km. When it's summer I get around 180Wh/km, going up to 230Wh/km in fall (10-15 degrees Celsius). At 3 degrees things change pretty steep at 340-380Wh/km, car is preconditioned before leaving. Can the PTC consume so much more? Climate is set on auto at...

Hello, As my warranty is approaching fast I am trying to figure if I should keep the car or go into something newer My 85D has a bit over 100k miles, mMCU2, next gen seats, pano, subzero package, air suspension and free supercharging. Locally the only reasonable newer option are 75Ds. Found a...

Looking to buy a seized, cut in half caliper that still has the crossover intact or just the crossover line. Will pay shipping to Montreal, Canada

Just had a 4 service appointments for front suspension/direction. Basically all links, half shafts, steering rack were replaced, but was left with an odd rattle that comes (based on Tesla assesment) from the pads. They have not touched them as I have Bosch pads and not OEM. I am looking for some...

Just realized Today while driving on the highway that the car icon was only showing left headlight working. Stopped at a Supercharger and indeed, only the left headlight was working, but no error shown on the dash. When left the charger, both appeared as working again. Should I consider...

I am located in Canada, will pay for shipping

Recently purchased a 2015 85D with around 87k miles on it. Today did a supercharging test to see what I should expect on a longer drive. Boy, was I surprised… Had access to previous owner’s charging curve from 2015 to compare. Same temperature and I drove the car for about 40 miles to allow...
