Hello everyone, after waiting two weeks on this appointment, I just got the car back from Tesla service center. I had to pay a total of €173.03 after taxes for diagnosing the issue, including a test drive by the mechanic. While there, the mechanic recognized the swaying issue during a test...

short update from my side.. Tesla still hasn’t found the time to plan in my car to start looking at it, despite the app providing me the date of 21.11.2023 for a service appointment. In the meantime the car remains parked. To be continued..

Hi all, small update: Car is going in for Tesla service next week to localize the issue. Will update this thread with info and the repair bill as soon as they’re available. Thanks for all the help so far! ps. I have a drive unit limited warranty untill Dec 2023. Are halfshafts etc. covered as...

Update: Got lucky and had help from a senior engineer. Checked subframe, no issues Checked toe links, no issues All-around alignment checked, perfect. All bolts torqued to spec. He then connected it over OBD2 (Bosch computer) to check for error codes, and found a shitload. He deleted them...

this is gold. will follow the steps! Thank you kindly!

@shahryaran in about 3 hours from now I will have the car on the lift and will start. Many thanks so far for the pointers ❤️ Will post an update later

thanks, will check this. Upcoming Thursday I have access to car lift again. Any other things I should check that could cause this strange side step when stepping on the accelerator?

UPDATE: Sub Frames do not flex, tried to make them move using a large crow bar, but they are very tight. I used a torque wrench to tighten it according to spec anyway. Any pointers on the next logical step? Is there a way how to rule out the rear toe links without simply replacing them? cc...

great idea! will definitely do. I’ve driven the car without spacers, the issue as described was still there, so I remounted the spacers. Either way, I think I’ll remove them again atleast until this issue is resolved. BTW, How much work is it drop the subframe? I’ve read on multiple occasions...

Hello all, My late 2015 MS P90D, 100.000KM, AP1 Air suspension Tesla, has a very weird issue, that was simply there one day. My wive drives the car as well, but neither of us ever had an accident. The car is standing on staggered 21” Turbines with pretty new Michelin PS4 Acoustic (good profile...

How can I change the forum from Model S “Interior and Exterior” to “Driving “Dynamics”? Mods please close this thread as I’ve reposted in the correct forum Model S > Driving Dynamics: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/p90d-subframe-cracked-rear-toe-links-issue-please-help.315526/...

Had exactly the same on my Model S P90D (late nosecone). Was fixed by replacing the same components as mentioned by @bmah. Can be done DIY, together with a buddy. Will take you 60-120 minutes. Can also be done by Tesla rangers on your location for €373 in Germany There’s good videos on youtube.

update on the matter: The moment I got in the car, the compressor turned on, and pumped up the rear air suspension to “very high”; as that was the setting I left the car in three weeks ago. As to WHY just the rear sagged, my theory is: Car was parked on a hill (nose facing down the hill). So...

Thanks Dave :) I haven’t touched the car yet, but will now take it for a quick spin to see if it will come up again (and if there’s any errors).

Hi all, As title suggests, I left my car parked for three weeks (20 nights) and just found it like you can see in my video: It’s the first time I leave it untouched for such a time. The car is still in “Very High” air suspension setting, as I left it. The car is not lowered, all suspension...

Yes, it’s possible to use MX on MS with these specs: 20x9 ET 35MM & 20x9.5 ET 40MM. Tires 245/40 & 285/35 Slight rubbing on the front, when reversing under an angle, may occur (tire thread catching the wheel liner); similar rubbing to the stock 21‘‘ wheels with spacers. Hope this helps.

I would wet sand it, then a 3 stage machine polish. worse case scenario: you take off too much clear and need a new coat, for which you already did the prep.. You could even DIY the clear with 2K Spraymax cans if you’re on a budget.

can you perhaps link the video? I watched many of them and only found vids about older MS with the double latch..

ugh i stumbled upon a trolls nest of some sort

anyone who can confirm this for me?

I have replaced the louvers with a mesh.

I checked the parts catalog and the subframe bolt no. 3, has identical specs. I drove the car and under acceleration it pulls a bit to the right.. so I think there’s a good chance this bolt is indeed missing from the subframe. Can I easily put it back in from the bottom of the car? As far as I...

Hello friends, I’ve just gotten back my front facelift bumper from the paintshop and installed it. I knew I would have this so called underbite, due to the shorter hood on the nosecone MS. From my due diligence I found out that the cleanest way to solve this aesthetic issue, would be to...

I removed my louvres permanently. they are now always open. Depending on your weather, you can consider doing this.

So, as some of you might have seen in my other thread, I’m in the process of installing new bumpers on my car. I was just in the process of removing the rear pre-facelift underbody (protector) shield, when this bad boy dropped out onto the floor!! I cant seem to find where it’s coming from...

Those look great - but I’m pretty sure they would not pass our annual inspection (Tüv).. :-(

Dear fellow Tesla enthusiasts, I am in need of your help! I’m currently in the process of fitting a Prior Design PD-S1000 bodykit to my 2015 P90D with AP (non-wide body). As some of you will know, the bodykit is made for the facelift Model S, but as the cars are so similar, I figured it...

@Aggmeister2010 are your fenders rolled out?

Can you tell me your front offsets? And which rim brand / design? I’m looking into something with a concave effect myself, and the requirement of an ABE (for German TÜV).

Much appreciated!

I‘m gonna pass on the RR wheels and follow your specs of a staggered set up: 21x9 in the front & 21x10.5 in the back. Thanks a lot!

First of all, thanks for providing your insights! These Vossen HF2 are (square) 30 ET x 9j, while factory is 40 ET x 8.5j So if I understood correctly, the 10 ET offset difference will push the Vossens 10mm outwards already (like a spacer) + 0.5j difference will push them outward 0.5 inch more...

I forgot to add that I'm aware of the difference in the center bore. RR has 72.6, while Tesla MS has 64.1; but I found metal rings to convert / fill the center to fit.

Dear fellow Tesla ethusiasts, Ater lurking in the shadows for a couple of days, I decided to register an account to ask my first question as a new Tesla MS owner. Long story short, after saving up I was finally able to buy a used Tesla Model S P90D (late 2015) a couple of days ago - even got...
