    MAIN BATTERY FAILURE

    Stinks, but can you buy a used Tesla with a fresh battery for $21k? If you like the car and have the funds, I'd say do it. You should contact 057 Technology for price and availability too. Good luck

    No Difference in Range between 21'' and 19'' Wheels

    My used 2015 70D had 21" slipstreams on it in the lot and I had them swap the 19" 5-spokes from another S they had. They were beautiful on the car, but I had read about range, cost, and susceptibility to potholes and decided to be somewhat practical. I do miss that look though!

    Model S 2021 - Rear window distortion

    My 2015 S does this too. I think it's funny how much wider and sporty other cars are in my rear window, then I see them in the side mirror and they're back to being ugly again!

    I noticed my bubbles right before EMMC recall fix! Weird timing

    Sudden Range Reduction on Early Model S with latest 2022.4.x release?

    My 2015 70D seemed to have higher wh/m about time I saw the posts you did. The story I read mentioned they were looking into lower range issues on older models. This coincided with the "improved cold weather performance" update. Around the same time, this popped up! It was 900 before I got the...

    Bubble on instrument cluster

    Mine started on 2015 S a month or so ago. Did I read right that the MCU upgrade to MCU2 includes the instrument cluster also?(I only uploaded one photo but three are showing up, mine is one near tire pressures)

    Park brake fault

    Guess I avoided that anyway! Hope yours is an easier fix. Good luck!
  8. TripleTrucker

    please recommend quality all season 19" for S.

    Any update? Are you happy with the ride quality? I have Yokohama Avid Ascend GT and I'm not happy with the ride (stiff/harsh) or the noise. Traction and treadwear are good though. Thanks

    Park brake fault

    Thanks. No I bought used in 2018 and have had the usual issues. I knew repairs wouldn't be cheap but figured there's not that much that can break! Still love the car and how it looks though!

    Park brake fault

    Just got my 2015 S back from Lyndhurst service for parking brake too. Unfortunately, out of warranty so $1400 later they're fixed. Invoice showed internal failure on both calipers. I was getting loud noise occasionally then warnings similar to OP's. The Lyndhurst center has always treated me...

    Model S temperature sensor location

    Nosecone S is behind bumper. i think I remember seeing it with frunk liner removed. No idea if refresh moved it

    Plaid Owners PSA: Ifhate the Yoke/Turn Signals/Horn, please complain to the NHTSA

    I'm looking into filing a complaint too. My 70D only has a 70kw battery. How could I have known?

    Flat tire on road trip

    I've got the Tesla inflator and a plug kit but curious if it would inflate the tire from flat with the weight of the car pushing down on it. I'm guessing not once the bead seal is broken

    Charging Port Weirdness

    Don't hate me! They came and that price was to reboot and see what they could do without replacing door! They will come back and install door cuz reboot didn't fix it. Waiting for the estimate and the part to come in (back-ordered). Didn't get charged for this visit...yet.

    Order in! *2021 Model S Long Range*

    Congrats! :D I'll be looking at a used one in a few years....maybe!

    Refresh truly wider?

    The lower 'n' wider the better. It just makes it more beautiful than it already is. I'm already groaning climbing out of it so another inch won't matter!

    Change horn from inside frunk?

    My simple yet improper thought if they finally go out is to mount replacement horns inside where the backs of the current horns are located. Not correct, and a not as loud, but a whole lot easier!
  24. TripleTrucker

    Change horn from inside frunk?

    Also, looks like mounting hardware is in frunk so both may need to come out after all

    Powered frunk won't open or close as latch too strong

    I have Smartesla opener. Mine had same issue until I adjusted the force setting. They also recommended putting original spring back in when it wouldn't open properly. Check that you are attached to solid ground also.

    Change horn from inside frunk?

    Had frunk opened up to check power opener and saw the horns right there so not thinking about bumper removal yet
  27. TripleTrucker

    Change horn from inside frunk?

    I can see the back of horns when I remove frunk liner. They look flush with a flat bracket holing them in. I'm curious if they are larger on other side behind bumper which won't allow me to pull them through that opening. Anyone play with this yet? Low tone is intermittently out. Cold...

    Locked in Valet mode :-(

    Now you both need to change them cuz everyone knows now! :)

    Hansshow vs Tesla Offer Power Frunk/Trunk - which one to buy?

    I just put Smartesla kit in my Model S. Pretty much plug-n-play. Had a couple glitches and he helped me through text on a Saturday. Very good customer service!

    Washer pump not working

    I just changed pump in my 2015 70D. After watching YouTube videos I got out the jack and everything, then started poking around before lifting it. I turned the wheel full left and removed bottom two pins and pulled liner back. Pump is right there. Lost prime or something cuz it took a while...

    Windshield washer pump not ejecting fluid

    I am mechanical, but also curious. I watched several youtube videos of repair and they all removed the wheel and fender liner. I turned my wheel full left, removed the two bottom pins of liner, pulled it back and accessed the pump right there. Wheel removal wasn't needed, at least on my 2015 70D.

    Trade In

    Ouch! Just tried Carvana site! They deducted $7k off of $32k KBB price for "local market" for my '15 70D.

    Another reason to consider NOT using valet for your Model S.

    Shame on him for not using valet mode. Shame on him for not beating valet to a pulp.

    Parking assist

    I didn't have faith in it the two times I tried. Bodyhauler's video shows maybe I bailed too quickly.

    Blue-ish fluid leak

    Just noticed spot on floor. Removed frunk and I see moisture under this pump. Located near front left wheel. 4 hoses going in and out of it. In my fantasy world, it's just a loose hose clamp! Mobile repair?

    Any insight on this noise?

    Done! ;)
  37. TripleTrucker

    Any insight on this noise?

    Original issue resolved. Noise was diagnosed by mobile tech as left side fan preparing to give up the ghost. Had to go to service center due to a/c needing to be evacuated to replace. $495 part, $280 labor. If I didn't love this car so much I'd be upset.
  38. TripleTrucker

    Any insight on this noise?

    Mine was right side also. $450 parts, $516.25 labor (nearly 3 hours at $175 per)
  39. TripleTrucker

    Any insight on this noise?

    Thanks for the replies! SC just replaced one A/C condenser(a cool grand out of warranty) so maybe they didn't button it up right. I also have what must be the dreading "grind" sound from rear end on accel and decel. Guess I'll make an appt.

    Anyone knows what those motors are

    Interesting. Do they sound like this? Video makes it seem louder than it is, but still very noticeable and just started recently. I assumed it was fan problem.
  41. TripleTrucker

    Any insight on this noise?

    I just began noticing intermittent noise from front left corner of my 2015 70D when preconditioning. Only a few times now and not constant. I popped frunk tub out and see a fan in that area. Any history of this being an issue? Thanks for any help before I set up service. I just came out of...

    Anyone else get fooled by the new sentry mode icon at the top of the screen?

    I was not fooled. I don't have dash cam either, though! Is this related to Tesla ruffling some feathers at MGM with the use of Hal 9000 image?

    The Tesla Model S is the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

    Just over a year in on my used 2015 70D and trust me, that smile won't go away!! Congrats!

    Purchasing a buyback/lemon - great deal or total disaster?

    I bought a 2012 Volt with a buyback title several years ago. It seemed like a great deal and was pretty much trouble-free for the few years I had it. Unfortunately, the branded title killed the trade-in value. It didn't matter that there were no issues with the car and I had not had many...

    Do I just sue Tesla? New record for getting Powned

    Still got the bug up your butt for the tech? He's doing his job correctly according to Tesla. You may think he's "fresh out of school" and "highly procedural oriented", but it's his job that he does every day. He was clearly trained to do procedures in a certain way to avoid issues that would...

    Do I just sue Tesla? New record for getting Powned

    Looks like in addition to battery swap, cables were changed as well as grounding points altered. I'd lean toward the car stereo guy screwing something up before the Tesla tech.
