Just got an estimate from Tesla, but they only quoted a Vehicle Electrical Isolation Procedure and an Isolation/Insulation test total .55 hours. Does anyone know the likelihood of that test resulting in the need for a new battery?

Thank you for posting all of this. I believe I have the same issue on my 2014 Model S. I am loathe to let the car go (a battery replacement seems like one of the few ways to deal with the issue). At that rate, I may as well buy a model 3. I will see what we can do to salvage this car.

There is definitely torx head screw on the front side accessible behind the fender wheelwell cover. Bottom. A bit hard to reach and tighten when replacing it.

Exact same issue as me.

See my other post. Just figured it out today... Post in thread 'Model X second row bench stuck half folded' Model X second row bench stuck half folded

I have the solution.. See this post here. Will try to post video to YouTube. Post in thread 'Model X second row bench stuck half folded' Model X second row bench stuck half folded

Picked up in Dec 2019 and over 50k miles. Found out when the a/c compressor crapped out, causing the car to be undeliverable at 50,300 miles.... $1100 fix.

Our 7 seat can recline on both sides.

Omg. I was just about to post about this. I fixed it myself a few hours ago! The gear inside the track lock actuator broke and I removed it and now the track locks again. The track lock actuator is located in the seat back. I have circled the area on the top left corner of the photo...

Okay. Out of warranty by a few hundred miles. $2800 for the new seat quoted. Ridiculous. So I decided if they are going to charge me for a whole seat, I am free to mess with this seat as much as I can and see if I can fix it. Briefly disconnecting the gray connector to the right of the...

2020 model x. Same issue. They want 2800 for a whole new seat. For now, I wedges in a 3/4 plywood board 21"x19" with one corner cut off to prevent sliding.

I will try that. But once I disconnected the connector, I was able to raise the seat. Then I lowered the seat completely using the lever, which once again worked (the front lever is still.loose). This stopped the incessant beeping. In order to stop the seat from sliding back and forth...

I have the same issue and the car is 4 years old.... I have brought it in several times and they can never recreate it..... supposedly.

Late 2019 model x now suffering the same problem. There are two gray connectors under the smaller seat when looking at it from the front. There is one more closer to the rear. By briefly disconnecting the gray cable closer to the center, I was able to cause the seat back actuator to reset and...

Same issue 2020 Model x. Several trips to service center and they could not duplicate supposedly. Now out of warranty (by 500 miles) and so I guess I will have to deal with it because a new drive unit sounds like a $3-5k job.

My 2014 model s can access charge settings from the app ONLY when it is t plugged it. I can't start or stop charging or adjust charge current from the app. Anyone else have the issue?

I have the same rattling sound as in the video posted. 2014 model s 99k miles. I just took the front left wheel off and everything looks night and tight. How can we get to the sway bar link?

I just got yesterday for my pre-auto pilot model s85. It's maybe a tad faster than the old os. But the old interface was much much better. I have suffered with v11 on our 2020 model x for the better part of 6 months and hate how many extra presses I need to accomplish the same tasks as with...

Were they upgraded units?

Learning more about the stock heated steering wheel. It comes with heating controller which explains the extra set of thin wires to the steering wheel. Those most go to some sort of thermostat. I found a picture of the control unit which indicates it's manufactured be gentherm. It...

And I bought that extra steering column.. Sigh.

If you look at the pictures, the wires for the controls roll and unroll when you turn the wheel.. This is where running additional wires becomes a problem. They would have to roll and unroll along with the other wire tapes..

I have an early 2014, pre autopilot original reversed stalk model s. I took off the steering wheel and took look at the steering column clock... And boy does it look complicated. I know the two extra pins on the newer stalks must be able to carry the power for the steering wheel heat. I just...

I just got my hands on a heated steering wheel. It has a four pin connector with two red wire and two black wires with a stripe. Oddly enough, there is no continuity between the red wires and the black wires. The continuity is between the two red wires. I think there is about 2.9 ohms of...

Stopping and turning!

I have Michelin x-ice 3s on my Rwd model s. I have driven in several snow storms without a problem. Anyone who says all seasons are good enough, has never driven in winter tires. Even our prius with blizzacks was very competent in the snow. If you have another car with winter tires (not...
