    Darn, I guess the main transformer is still missing yes?

    Does anyone know if the main transformer has arrived on site for this supercharger?

    Tesla now repairing MCU1 with a new Tegra card for less than $500

    Thanks @reddy. Was all of your data kept intact (settings, nav locations, etc), or did you lose it?

    Likely MCU Failure (MCU1 eMMC)

    OK, let me know, doing an eMMC replacement actually has some advantages over an MCU replacement (often refurbished) from Tesla. Let me know what they offer. :)

    Hi @Siphant, let me know in a PM if you'd like an eMMC replacement. We have some enticing options. :)

    Kia Soul EV

    OK thanks. I'm thinking we should bring the car back to KIA and have them check it. Thing is, there's only 7 months left on the lease... so far they've been quite uncooperative in all this. Still looking at replacing it with a KIA Niro EV though. :)

    Kia Soul EV

    Yup we have the same warranty here. But I see that your SOH was 84.1%, so I'm wondering how you got them to replace under those conditions?

    Kia Soul EV

    @RubberToe how did you get them to replace the battery? My girlfriend's car has a similar issue. The range has drastically dropped and in winter is now only getting about 65-70km (43mi). It used to get a lot more than that. In summer, it's down to 100km (60mi). KIA checked the SOH and said...

    2014 P85 Gets a 2017 facelift using OEM parts

    I'm sorry if this has been answered already, but has anyone done this facelift procedure with the OEM bumper on an AP1 car? Is there a mounting location for the Bosch radar? does any of the ducting from the non-facelift car still get used? Just wondering what (if any) special procedures would...

    Parting out Tesla Model S's 2012-2016

    Hi there, I'm looking for a pigtail for the rear view mirror connector on an AP1 car. The connector fits into this: Any chance you have a pigtail lying around that you could sell me? Thanks! Rob

    Power Steering falling apart

    There are two plastic fasteners holding the panel with the frunk-pop button and the light. You need to remove those fasteners, then unplug the wires going to the light and button after lifting the panel up and out. You need to remove all the felt pieces as they cover bolts in various places...

    Power Steering falling apart

    Shawn, once you've unscrewed all the hex bolts holding the tub in place (I'm assuming you've taken out the insert at the front), pull the tub up from the back of the tub (back of the car). There are two tongues that fit under the plastic piece in the front of the car, and by lifting it from the...

    Power Steering falling apart

    Actually, from the repair I saw on Kalud's car, they did spray the whole assembly with some kind of (I assume) anti corrosive product.

    Power Steering falling apart

    Wow, another steering rack bites the dust. Thanks for reporting in. Did the service center say anything about the situation or simply that they will replace it? You're still on warranty, so you're lucky. I'm really curious if they will stick to their policy of charging for this work on out...

    Power Steering falling apart

    I just wanted to clarify that the bolts do NOT fall out/become unscrewed. They break at the junction between the steering motor and the mount for it on the steering rack due to corrosion/infiltration of water/salt. This isn't a matter of the bolts not being tight enough/not having loctite.

    Power Steering falling apart

    I got 70mm and with one washer and one lock washer, the length is perfect and I feel better having a lock washer. The original bolts are so flimsy, they weigh nothing. I'm not surprised they crack to be honest...

    Power Steering falling apart

    So Kalud and I decided to check on my EPAS motor today to see what the bolts look like and to pro-actively replace them with SS bolts from the local hardware store. The bolts came off quite easily in one piece and only had any serious "corrosion" to talk about but they seemed pretty solid once...

    Power Steering falling apart

    My intention is to bring it to his attention if Tesla doesn't issue a recall for it.

    Power Steering falling apart

    Yup, remove the frunk liner and the black ABS tub. You'll see the motor there and could wiggle it, but like I said above, it's possible it feels solid even though the screws are almost finished. I'm going to push hard with the Montreal service center that this become some kind of recall...

    Power Steering falling apart

    @mongo, oh yes, I wasn't suggesting to use only two. :) I was just saying that even if one bolt was already sheared/broken/weakened, the driver probably wouldn't notice it until it was too late and all three sheared off.

    Power Steering falling apart

    I didn't clean the threads of the alternate holes because I didn't have the tools to do it. I was at Kalud's place just with the tools I brought. I would get something to clean them next time (if there is one) though. One of the screws went in no problem. The other two were tight, but I...

    Power Steering falling apart

    Yup, I agree... would be a lot of work to deal with that happening too... cutting off the heads, then trimming the bolts down to the surface of the motor.

    Power Steering falling apart

    Hi mrElbe, I used a pry bar to tension the motor while tightening the bolts... before doing that the belt was slipping a bit. I will have Kalud contact Transport Canada for sure. I hope this becomes a recall -- for everybody's sake.

    Power Steering falling apart

    Hi there, I didn't use any locktite, just the lock washers. I think this deserves a regular examination maybe every year. Taking the tub out really doesn't take long once you've done it a few times. I'm wondering how well the "preventative" job will work for cars where the corrosion is...

    Power Steering falling apart

    So, just a bit of encouragement for the DIY folk: I did this repair this morning and it seems to be working perfectly. I used M8-1.25 70mm 8.8 bolts from the local hardware store and some washers/lock washers for spacers. Here are some pictures of the work: You can see the bolts stuck in...

    Power Steering falling apart

    Ha! I am neither francophone nor using my cell phone... so my excuse is I sometimes use big words to mean little things. In this case "preventatively"... hey that's a pretty big word too! :)

    Power Steering falling apart

    LOL, I guess I should have read every post. :P So, ideally, we should get this repaired under warranty and get a whole new unit, but if no longer on warranty, we should prophylactically replace with SS bolts -- got it!

    Power Steering falling apart

    Hi guys. Is there any concern that using stainless steel bolts with the motor casing will cause corrosion of the aluminum casing? Is the casing aluminum? I'm asking because people who installed the Ecohitch from Torklift are seeing corrosion where the steel plates touch the structure of the...

    George Hotz and comma.ai - open source project - progress updates?

    Just to clarify... the part we've "open-sourced" is the communication between the Openpilot system and the steering control system in the Tesla (the EPAS). We're going to start working on speed/brake control once we figure out some of the CAN messages and we get that hardware installed as well.

    George Hotz and comma.ai - open source project - progress updates?

    The vision sensor is the OnePlus 3 camera yes. Which is likely higher resolution than the black and white unit Tesla uses in AP1. Openpilot SOFTWARE provides TACC capability but you need the supporting hardware. In the case of our classic Teslas, that would mean installing a radar unit in the...

    Here's another very raw video, but it shows clearly that steering control is working. Also demonstrates that we've gotten the Tesla autopilot sounds to play from the Tesla sound system as openpilot is engaged and disengaged. The CID also shows some of the CAN messages we track/modify to get...

    SuperCharger - Brossard, QC (Quartier Dix30)

    Thanks Matthy! I can see how Carrefour Laval makes sense -- as it's just off the 15 which is a common route to go up North to Saint-Sauveur, Tremblant, etc, but I'm wondering why they put the other SC at the corner of the 640 and 25 and not 640 and 40. Oh well, more superchargers = good. :)

    SuperCharger - Brossard, QC (Quartier Dix30)

    Matthy, that's great! Do you have any more details? And by Mascouche, do you mean Repentigny? The supercharger roll-out map on tesla.com looks like Repentigny, and to be honest, it would be more practical to be in Repentigny than Mascouche I think. Do you have an exact address for the...
