    Car alarm during update

    Mine just alarmed for about 30sec at the end of a 2019.32.12.1 update in an AP1 S85D.

    Plastic Front Suspension?

    Plastic has come a LONG way since 1970. Ever seen what it takes to break a plastic upper or lower control arm on a high end RC car? I have.
  3. Ohm’s Law

    Front suspension, sway bar links possible rattling.

    Did you replace them yourself? I need to replace mine (2015 85D with air suspension) and I have not been able to find the service manual. thanks

    custom subwoofer box in 3rd row seating storage area?

    The sub install turned out great. I have been interested in adding a sub as I have for previous cars but I am curious about the current draw on the 12V system. Where is the best place to tap the B+, the battery post? How about the audio signal; where is the best place to connect it?

    Home made jack pad for Model S

    Wow Sorka, you beat me to the punch! Thanks for posting! I made a wooden block over the weekend and I was going to make a mold of it and build parts out of recycled HDPE plastic due to its availability, environmental impact and ability to form to the steel jack surfaces. Your approach looks way...

    Tamborine rattle from front suspension with knocking noise

    Cram, thanks for the info! I'm gonna pull the struts this weekend and take a good look at the tops and I'll probably do the same as you did. Pinot, it wasn't me as I rarely get to that part of town.

    Tamborine rattle from front suspension with knocking noise

    I have a couple of videos and pictures to share. I also posed on the 15 page thread about other front end rattles. Headlights have a bit of rattle: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1rpq44tz1mmnn55/85D.MOV?dl=0 Test drive over road reflectors with bumper skin and headlights removed, tambourine is...

    Rattle noise coming from front Air Suspension (2017-18)

    My front end rattle persists. The service center previously told me that the rattle was coming from my headlights. (seriously) They said they had the car on the lift and could not reproduce the sound by smacking the underside of the tires but that it was reproducible when they tapped the...

    Tamborine rattle from front suspension with knocking noise

    Well, I pulled the front bumper and headlights off and drove it over some road reflectors, guess what, the rattle was still there!

    Tamborine rattle from front suspension with knocking noise

    I think you are right. I'm gonna try to get the car up on jack stands this weekend and try to isolate the sound.

    Rattle noise coming from front Air Suspension (2017-18)

    "Problem fixed today within 30 minutes by my service center. I was the right side drip link to the sway bar. Rattle now gone." I will be checking mine ASAP also however, I think the sound that mine is making sounds like sheet metal is involved. More like a jingle, but I also have a clunk coming...

    Tamborine rattle from front suspension with knocking noise

    My 85D has some noise coming from the front suspension that sounds exactly like a tamborine. I took it to the SC for annnal service and took a tech for a ride and he said the noise was coming from the top hats on the air struts. I left the car there and a few days later I was notified that the...

    Rattle noise coming from front Air Suspension (2017-18)

    I also have the noise on both front struts of my 85D at 68k. I am calling it the “Tamborine Jingle.” It doesn’t seem to cause any problems besides frustration. The Rocklin SC will be looking at next week.
