If you are like me and despise faux leather, sunroof and love ventilated seats there are some absolute bargains 2016 to 2017 right now. I agree with another poster, 75D/100D/P100D (especially P100D) may be the best value used car in the history of cars, what else can even compare? Add SC01 on...

Is there any way to determine if your 75D is uncorked already? I have a 2017 (01/17) 75D that I suspect may not be uncorked. Is this something I can detrermine through watching max power in scanmytesla or some other way? I found a link to a google sheet where my vin range (178XXX) certainly...

Hi all, My girlfriend bought a brand new long range 2023 model 3. It has a weird what I can best describe as liquid etching all over the glass that is only visible when wet and in certain lighting conditions. I took some photos that show it. Have tried clay bar and just rubbing it seems very...

Can anybody confirm the sound of the loose top nut may apply to coil suspension cars as well?

It was the tires!!! Got brand new Pilot Sport All season 4 sound is gone completely.

Got brand new Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4. noise from very obviously cupped tires is gone, but I still have a vibration felt through the steering wheel and cabin at higher speeds above 50mph… sort of feels like wheel hopping with a cyclical noise. I suspect the tires originally were...

Thanks for the input livesmith... heading towards the conclusion of tires. It continues to get progressively worse.

Thanks for the feedback, was wondering if you listened to the audio clips I shared and did it sound familiar at all? The sound is getting progressively worse. Thanks all for the feedback it is greatly appreciated.

I actually noticed when checking each of the wheels for bearing noise or play that the rear driver side wheel only would not rotate freely when the car was jacked up. The brake had friction in one position at every rotation, but I thought perhaps it was normal for the brake to drag slightly...

Another update, had an alignment done and all wheels balanced. Noise is still there, but less shake in steering wheel. The technician is convinced it's my directional tires making the noise, although he agrees it seems quite extreme. Alignment seemed fine but I am curious if any connoisseurs on...

OK I have an update, not at all the outcome I was expecting... Confirmed once again there was indeed play in front driver wheel when pushing and pulling 12 and 6 o'clock. Inspected the three other bearings, zero noise when spinning and no play 12-6 and 3-9 even when pushing with whole body...

I could see myself keeping this car much longer than 4 years if it is still going by then. Yes prorated refund is a nice to have and is offered by Xcare.

Seems like it’s an unpopular opinion but I am leaning towards the basic offering only covering hv and du… Interesting input thanks and curious to hear from more folks

I suspect it probably wouldn’t be covered but I do not know the answer.

Wondering if I should go for 1420341/6-B/C or 1041570-00-B? Any input? There is an interesting new modification in the 2016-2021 parts catalog not sure if anybody else has seen this: I guess they are pretty aware of the problem with -A parts...

For the following parts and components including: Coolants, hoses, clamps, belts, mobile connector, wall connector, any future external connectors, and any related charging adapters, tires, wheels, wheel covers, wheel lugs and lug nuts, valve stems, light bulbs, 12V batteries, interior LED...

Hi Juched, thanks for that info. Curious what speed you heard the noise at? I currently have low grumbling and some noise even around 2-3 mph with noticeable noise around 10 mph that increases linearly with speed.

Only SC01 FUSC can be transferred to a new owner. SC05 is first owner only and non transferrable. My understanding is that OP is looking at a used 2018 S and is not the original owner and will therefore not inherit FUSC. SC01 FUSC program ended in early 2017 model year. Should have warranty...

Hi all, Looking for general feedback on the two following XCare options for my 2017 S 75D with 94k miles. It is SC01 and still under Tesla battery and drive unit warranty. Some background info: I plan on keeping the car as long as I can, absolutely love it and have had essentially no issues...

Hi David, thanks for the input. I have tried rotating tires yes, noise persisted in the front. I am at 94k miles on the original wheel bearings. I will keep you all posted as I plan on changing the front driver side bearing as there is a bit of play. Tires are in excellent shape with plenty of...

Sorry for the multiple posts, sound seems to be getting louder and more vibration through cabin at highway speeds. Anybody get a chance to listen to the sound recording? Sounds like tire to me, but I suppose it could be the bearing. There is a small amount of play at 12 and 6 oclock in one wheel...

I believe so yes, bu you should refer to my earlier post in this thread. I wrote that while I was doing it so it should be very accurate... Has been a while and cannot remember exact steps beyond what I wrote in my guide posted.

Does not have acoustic tyres, has Michelin CrossClimate2, 19" stock wheels. Not sure what else to check.

Was not wheel balance sadly

1051864-00-A

I noticed the wheel weights were missing on front driver and having it rebalanced will update if fixed

Can anybody help identify this noise? It feels like it is coming from the front. I have checked for wheel bearing play and there is none, all wheels, wheel hubs and even brake calipers are cold to the touch even after a 4 hour drive. Checked all control arms for play all good. Have not done...

yes it is a brand new pack made in 2023 as you mention.

This is a fantastic outcome for your car... many years of driving pleasure ahead of you! Thanks for sharing. I wonder if the decision to go with a new pack under warranty is only due to lack of availability of reman in a timely manner.

I agree that in normal troubleshooting order: start with simplest scenario and work your way up... I would like to see an attempt to fill first unless they can visually identify evidence of a leak Still no message on mine and I thought for sure I would get the message during the winter with...

Hi mtveiten, I just wanted to add: if you have any more information about how your pack failed (water ingress, other) it would be very interesting to hear more. I have personally not heard many stories of 2016 and later packs (or at least 2018 model year) failing so this could give us a glimpse...

Hi all, Looking for all weather rubber liners for my 2017 S 75D. Don't want the 3d maxpider / taptes and the weather tech don't provide full coverage of dead pedal. I am looking for any option that is actual heavy rubber like the weather tech but with better coverage. Thanks for any...

I guess this supports the theory of slow evaporation over time, obviously they may have missed the leak, but I think it is a valid assumption

Nice stealth ppf! Love the PPSB as well!!!

Wake up we want pictures!!! I used to live in Burnaby BC!

any ideas on why windshield spray button on stalk only works when stalk is pushed forward in high beam on position? Tested extensively, only way I can get button to work is with stalk pushed forward, even with auto high beam on (so high beams effectively off) this works, it seems the position...

Hi all, Me and my girlfriend went to pick up her new 2023 M3 LR from inventory online. Car was awesome, I inspected it up and down inside and out only found a couple really small scratches that will buff out easily. Car had 8 miles and looked great we were ecstatic. Everything was going well...

Depends on whether it has the gen 1 seats or the "next gen" seats... Next gen are quite comfortable. I think "next gen" were introduced around 2016 but I am not too sure. Gen 1 were indeed pretty dismal.

I use %SOC display and have seen an increase of ~5% descending approximately 2,000ft near the Boone, NC supercharger. I had it on cruise control going downhill at around 60mph and the regen was not sufficient to control the speed as I was at one point close to 98% state of charge (with...

2015 and earlier models seem to be having HV battery pack failures somewhat frequently... Especially the 85 packs from what I have seen. Perhaps represented disproportionately as everyone who has a problem asks about it versus probably thousands for every one of them without any issues. This is...

I would recommend a 2016 or 2017, definitely go for the refreshed one or the newest production one you can find. They made several changes such as rerouting the AC condensate away from directly on the battery pack causing water ingress over time. So many tiny incremental changes were made from...

I have this sound in my 2017 75D as well and always suspected it was freon changing phase in the evaporator, as it goes away when I run the AC. Was wondering if anybody knows definitively what this sound is?

Update on this, still no low coolant code in service mode. Have not added any.

Even more confusing: I went to play around with it while it is parked, it just so happened I had left it parked with the high beams on. The chrome button seems to work perfectly as long as the high beams are in the on position (stalk pushed forward). Second detent triggers washer pump every...

Hi all, Was wondering if anybody could provide some direction. My 2017 Model S 75D has a strange problem, when I press the chrome wiper button on the end of the wiper/high beam stalk 90% of the time nothing happens. I am aware there are two detents to this button, the first stop for a single...

Thanks for the clarification v.william, my apologies if I have propagated false information. I should mention that I agree and my understanding was that it should stay with the car even through non Tesla-dealers. Just wanted to share my experience as a data point. Additionally and to stay on...

My understanding has been that any time the car is out of a direct lineage of private ownership SC01 is promptly revoked. This, based on my limited research, includes any dealership (including non-Tesla dealerships) of any kind having ownership of the vehicle (not only passing though Tesla)...

Although my understanding is in line with what Rocky_H has described and that around 2016 batteries started to be much more robust, I would also be very interested in hearing first hand from folks that have had HV battery in model S made after 2016 👍

Thanks for the input. Are motor coolant leaks a common issue in the small drive unit model S? I have never heard of this happening. Not sure if it’s worth replacing all the coolant but probably not a bad idea after such a long time…

Recently replaced the HEPA filter on my 2017 75D, took a look at the brake fluid reservoir and coolant reservoir while I was in there. Coolant appears to be below the "MIN" line, but I checked in service mode and there is no warning for low coolant. Is it normal for this level to be low through...
