Wow that's tesla fix no two F$&KS given just change the bolts out yourself steel nice and easy one at a time to keep tension on the belt

I haven't checked the forums in a couple of days nice to see people are actually changing out the bolts and providing pictures please everyone post the pictures of your broken bolts and drilled out and removed pieces of bolts so Transport Canada can see that there is more then a few of us that...

New racks now come out with steel bolts changed sometime in 2016 I believe so I'm sure any racks changed now will be new parts just have to watch used racks on the market of course it would be easy to change out when we get our June 2016 production model X back from the shop I will take it apart...

I already called them the other day and gave them this forum info and they took my pictures and added them to my claim I will call Darryl's number tomorrow to see what they will need from me and sorry to hear that you already did your rack

Yes they came out kinda easily but still need that hard hit to break them lose I personally don't use the sprial sets anymore once you use the straight set you won't go back

Here is some more pics of the tools that are required and of what's left of the bolts after extraction Little hard to see the bolt heads are a t-45 socket

Everyone on here is way over thinking this it's very simple remove all three bolts aluminum bolts if they snap off no big deal you have replacements undo the motor plugs and remove the motor assembly from the vehicle clean the mating surface and save the o ring if it's covered in salt use hot...

Hey thanks for looking good to know your ok I would still replace the bolts with steel just because it's ok now doesn't mean they won't fail in the future Just took some pictures of the tesla loaner eps while our model X is getting repaired vin 89xxx P85D still has aluminum bolt this car has...

Yes it's going to be a long weekend I will take lots of pictures just hope there is a part number on the belt to indicate who the supplier is

The little rubbers are kinda a pain you can use a small screwdriver and work the rubbers through the holes you can add some Vaseline to them to prevent them from getting cut when working with them also they unscrew off but are a pain to screw back on also have to get them to the right height...

Update got a quote from the tesla dealer of 2,419.00 Canadian plus tax install and "additional" hardware thinking that additional hardware is outer tie rods and maybe some brackets oh and the kicker is they have one in stock! How convenient

Here is some more pics of it fixed remember my belt is slipping so that needs to be replaced Hope these pictures help

Good questions 3800$ Canadian for rack only then taxes and labor the car needs a all wheel angliment after install I will take better pics and post them tonight. The pic is looking down standing in front of drivers side headlight Now that I know there is racks with aluminum bolts (my mistake)...

Sounds like the same thing (bolts shearing off in the housing dropping the electric motor down) I'm going to go out on a limb here and say every tesla model s Rwd (aluminum bolts)with 120000-160000km 80000-100000 miles that has been driven in salt (northern climates) conditions will have at...

Yes Land Rover as far as I've seen every steering rack is made by Land Rover for Tesla's rwd and awd's. Maybe a cheap supplier funny BMW owned Land Rover years ago and the steering racks look identical to BMW eps racks only makes sense it's a great design why bother to change anything just...

That's a fair observation but tesla makes the new racks with steel bolts holding the motor up. The aluminum factory bolts already have more then enough stress on them trying to hold up a 15 lbs motor with a lot of torque twisting action back and forth and from my pictures the bolts where...
