    DIY repair: EPB_w053 - Parking brake did not release, EPB_w052 - Parking brake functions degraded

    3 Torx screws hold the motor and wormdrive to the back of the caliber. Be careful to undo the ones that hold the wormdrive, not the 2 that hold the motor to the wormdrive. But if you do pull just the motor, go back and pull off the wormdrive as well. The new gears of the wormdrive contained...

    DIY repair: EPB_w053 - Parking brake did not release, EPB_w052 - Parking brake functions degraded

    Here is a postmortem of what worked for me. 2015 Model S Symptoms: car gave errors that "Parking was disabled" (or something like this) I had trouble putting the car in park (would only go into R-N-D, and even that was inconsistent) The car would turn itself off, but looked to stay on Car...

    Rattle sound in front left tire area

    Is the outcome for most people that they have replaced the sway bars? Looks like a common issue, and easy enough DIY (hardest part is taking the wheels off). I wish I had thought to look when I took the wheels off to do the headlights!

    Issue with car not recognizing key when 2 key fobs are in the car

    No, I never solved other than taking one of the 2 keys out of the car to get it recognized. I suspect it has to do with one of the keys having been reprogrammed at one point, so was going to sort it out next time I went into Tesla.

    Issue with car not recognizing key when 2 key fobs are in the car

    I am experiencing an Issue with my 2015 Model S not recognizing key when 2 key fobs are in the car. It only happens when the 2 keys are in different parts of the car, and can be worked around by moving one of the keys outside of the car. Clicking on buttons of one key doesn't help. "Key not...

    NEMA 6-50 adapter "engineering"

    if you are able to safely turn off the circuit, and you are relatively handy, I recommend replacing this outlet with NEMA 14-50. parts costs will be under $10 (faceplate and plug). There are plenty of wiring diagrams that show where the hot, neutral and ground wires go. Test with a voltmeter...

    Battery aging / degradation over time

    thank you for the quick replies. I see the chart is done by distance, and wonder if its really age that is more of a factor. Either way, I agree, the battery ages similar to what we see in our cell phones that there is a quick fall off, then plateaus, as the chemistry of the batteries stabilize.

    Battery aging / degradation over time

    Could some of the longer term owners post the degradation of their range over time? Are they seeing 5% annual loss? What range does their battery have after a few years? IS 90% range the best way to get consistent results here?
