    Where do the written off Teslas go in Aus?

    You wont find a registerable chassis in Aus. These cars are out here in very small numbers. When they are stripped down it is because they are STATDEC. Any repairable write off will be repaired wity only a few panels to replace. They will have better components than a water damaged vehicle...

    Where do the written off Teslas go in Aus?

    Check the diff oils, if submerged by wave and car didnt sit disabled you might be OK, oils should be clear not milky. I'm not sure how they can determine water in one cell. Perhaps one module in the battery pack reported an issue. The individual cells in a module are connected via very thin...

    Where do the written off Teslas go in Aus?

    Where on earth did you get that story from? There is no way a water splash from a bus is going to write off a Tesla. Water in the frunk is of no consequence. Also the frunk has a good weather seal, a splash is not going to get in there. Sounds like absolute bollocks. I suggest you drain the...

    Where do the written off Teslas go in Aus?

    Stat dec in Australia cannot be reversed, unless you are the owner at time of accident and dispute the decision with your insurer. After that - it is done, no going back! I'd be interested to hear from the flood damage purchasers. How bad was the ingress? Water in motors and battery pack...

    Where do the written off Teslas go in Aus?

    Agree. Only the cars owner can challenge a stat dec. After that, even if you find a car that clearly does not meet the guidelines for stat dec, there is nothing you can do about it. The inspectors can get away with ridiculous assessments so long as the owner does not object. And if they are...

    Where do the written off Teslas go in Aus?

    There is a significant difference between stat and repairable write off. Tesla Australia should support repairable write offs, certify and enable supercharging. But going by what you have been through, Niall, it wouldnt suprise me if they dont.

    Where do the written off Teslas go in Aus?

    I know your story, and I wouldnt bother personally. But certification might have a positive effect on resale value. Some people are not very DIY, and would prefer to have teslas support.

    Where do the written off Teslas go in Aus?

    I watched that one go through too. I think you could have got that back on the road for an additional 15-20k, DIY, no tesla certification. Not bad for a 2017 75d, even with a wovr record you would expect 80k open market if all fixed up properly and Tesla certified.

    Tesla X HEPA Filter retrofit

    If anyone around Aus is looking to do this upgrade, I have the filter and housing you need. Salvaged from a very young model x that didnt get the chance to live. Now wrapped in cellophane, looking for a new Tesla. I have no use for it, need it gone. Happy to post. Melbourne. PM

    Any one after a HEPA/BIO Filter? 1045566-00-D

    I have one, looks barely used, been in less than a year, comes with the plastic enclosure, bolts onto the back of your frunk. Can also get to the carbon filter (1079305-00-A) if you want the full biodefence set up. Location: Melbourne I have a 2016/17 Model X, white, black leather interior...
