    Model S Passenger Window Issue, need advice

    I’ve only seen this part available from Gruber Motors. Very few people may know about this failure item and just replace the entire window regulator. Perform a search for Gruber motors and you’ll find their Aluminum ferrule for the Tesla Window regulator. It’s a multifaceted design so providing...

    Model S Passenger Window Issue, need advice

    That seems like a fair price. After watching a video by Gruber Automotive, I was under the impression that that plastic ferrule in the window regulator assembly was the design flaw that caused these window regulators to fail.

    Hit a pothole and now 21” rim is bent. Repair, replace or switch to 19” rims?

    I recently hit a pothole and discovered a huge dent in the face of the rim on my 21” turbine wheel. Has anyone had experiences with bent rims being repaired. Are the 19” rims for the model S with the /45 sidewalls less prone to this issue than the 21” /35 sidewall tires?
