    2015 Tesla Accelerated into a wall

    I fixed that car 2 years and 60k miles ago. It had side damage on it. Why do so many of you bash salvage cars? It is just as safe as a car and drove just as good as non salvage car. I will try to pull logs of the car and hopefully will have an EDR video of it crashing into the wall. I'm sure...

    Salvage Car Owners Support Group.

    Ingineer and I have fixed around 100 cars together, including Dr. Smokes car. Main thing I learned about the entire salvage ordeal is that many people think they know everything and start to mess with things, really messing things up. This makes it much harder to fix the car, especially...

    Model S vs Model 3 First Impressions

    I drove a model 3 couple of days ago. Not bad car overall. Really like the handling car felt super light and handling was extremely precise, probably one of the best handling cars I ever drove. Efficiency is also amazing I'm in MN and it was getting 300w/mi when it was -20 deg c out It went...

    Honest P90D(L) Quarter Mile Performance

    A friend of mine had his dodge ram 2500 Cummins and he managed to get a 1.608sec 60 ft had big enough tires that he was not traction limited and had a 11.0 @ 122 mph. I have raced him many times on the street and usually get him by about 1/2 of a model s off the line and he never catches up...

    Honest P90D(L) Quarter Mile Performance

    I think what slowed me down the most is the slippery track. You can see I could best manage 1.701sec 60 ft. I think if there was no wheel spin I could have easily been a low 1.6 taking the car dangerously close to breaking that 11 sec mark. Does anyone know what best 60ft is for a p90dl?

    Honest P90D(L) Quarter Mile Performance

    Running 2.22.50 version. According to my car's temp sensor ambient temp was at 40 deg c. That sensor is close to black top plus car generates some heat. I'm sure 3-4 ft above pavement temp was cooler. This picture taken when I finished supercharging 3mi away.

    That was a parts car. It was one of tesla's fatalities, and the driver did have their seatbelt on. Look at the search "Tesla single car fatality" in the archives

    A College Student Rebuilding a Salvage Tesla Model S

    Had to sign some non-disclosure documents with Tesla so can't really talk about it. All I will say it was a very long process and with the tools and knowledge that I have now I will probably not do it again. Process took almost 6 mo but granted I did have some complications. Should of taken...

    A College Student Rebuilding a Salvage Tesla Model S

    Blacklisted cars are drivable. Tesla does not physically shut off your car. They will shut off supercharging and stop their support. I drove my blacklisted car for 6mo before I had it re-certified.

    A College Student Rebuilding a Salvage Tesla Model S

    Satoshi, I'm not sure that I'm following your logic: "Tesla doesn't care if you die in a Toyota car crash." Then this further proves that Tesla already compromises on safety. What does Toyota have to do with Tesla? I do know that tesla cares about pedestrians. Hood hinges are reinforced by a...

    A College Student Rebuilding a Salvage Tesla Model S

    Pyrofuse works great to create an open in the HVIL but if an object punctures through the bat it will not reduce a risk of fire. Rockers are very strong in a model S the entire rocker has a honeycomb patterned aluminum cross member going through it. It is there to protect the battery from side...

    A College Student Rebuilding a Salvage Tesla Model S

    I don't agree with tesla's policy by any means them not selling parts to black listed cars. I also see a reason why they are doing it, they are trying to control cars and make sure that they are properly repaired. Tesla was happy to sell me an airbag, once their certified shop approved that my...

    A College Student Rebuilding a Salvage Tesla Model S

    Tesla will not compromise on safety of cars that is the whole reason they are giving this salvage cold shoulder. If someone dies in a Model S or if it starts on fire in a collision because body was not fixed properly and was not able to protect the battery during a crash, news channels are not...

    A College Student Rebuilding a Salvage Tesla Model S

    Hate to be a buzz kill, but car has very extensive damage on it. From the pictures the reason why the b-pillar is semi straight is because a jack was used from the inside to kind of straighten it so doors would kind of fit. Front by the a-pillar was pulled back and ripped by frame machine...

    Repairing a Flooded Tesla Model S : HOW-TO

    I'm just basically worried if you ship the car to me and something goes wrong on the pull. I want to have enough parts there to fix the car, so it does not tie up the frame machine for a week until other stuff gets there. I still have not gotten your pics of the damage.

    Need some help figuring out my salvage model S

    It was a lot of hassle. I will probably not certify another car. They will not offer free 3g, LTE anymore on re-certified cars so there is almost no point. I love the car it is a blast to drive likes a new car for 40% of cost. I will buy another salvage tesla in the future.

    Was 1500 for frame inspection and about 400 from Service center. They made me pay for all the voluntary recalls they did over the years, like redesigned front jumper posts, extra shields on the bottom of the car etc.

    Got my "Electra" back last week ago with LTE, latest firmware and a new battery fully tesla certified. I have driven it about 800 since than with no issues. It has been a journey thank you for all your the advise and help. This has been a journey but I have met a lot of interesting people...

    Need some help figuring out my salvage model S

    Yes, that would be the easiest solution but Tesla policy is that can't lay a wrench on a car that has not been certified. A car that is not certified by their repair shop is not even a car to them. The car I got for parts will never be certified I do not want to rub their feathers. They are...

    Does anyone know anyone in San Francisco, San Jose or anywhere in northern CA area that has a fork lift and a car-lift so I could remove the battery from my parts car? My parts car is currently in CA and I would hate to ship the car all the way back to MN and than ship or deliver the battery...

    Need some help figuring out my salvage model S

    Tesla is finally working with me and I'm very happy. I can't say anymore for now because none of their salvage policies are set in stone yet and they asked me not to disclose my situation to anyone. On the other hand I have purchased a parts car to be a donor for the battery pack. I need to...

    Need some help figuring out my salvage model S

    As far as I know the battery was not even removed from my car all information they collected was from logs and diagnostics through the car. What I was told BMS sometimes is getting voltage readings where it should not and the pack should be replaced. I do not think our Service Center takes...

    Need some help figuring out my salvage model S

    Would be nice to see the logs they are all stored in the car. I doubt that they will let me see it. Latest update is they must take an old battery in order to give a refurbished bat, they do not want people using their batteries for other purposes. So the price for a refurbished 60kw from...

    Need some help figuring out my salvage model S

    Yes that is with the core. I thought that is kind of steep as well. Well they never told me I could have an independent expert look at it. It is my battery pack and I can do what I want with it, bottom line is that if I bring them a functioning 60kw bat they will program it to my car. It is my...

    Hmm interesting. I asked service advisor to give me a price on the screen maybe he will have more information about LTE upgrade and if it is possible in my scenario.

    Need some help figuring out my salvage model S

    From talking to them I can sense that they are very strict about car modifications. They want the vin to match the car configuration. The vin# is for a 60KW and that is the only thing they will put in that car, since that is what it was originally designed for. If you have a 85kw they will not...

    Yes I was I was talking to Yauheni was a fuse in junction box. I'm glad for him. - - - Updated - - - Just talked to tesla LTE upgrade just includes just the connectivity board does not include the SIM card unfortunately. Just had a phone call that they will not upgrade the car with a 85kw bat.

    Guy's sorry for the long delay there was no news for the last month. Tesla had my car since June 30th to go through their processes. The car passed their inspection and they were able to start working on it last week. I did not want to log on, there was nothing to say except something...
