I have a relatively new (~3000 miles) Model 3 Performance. I was aggressive on the accelerator for a solid 20-30 seconds today (wasn't flooring it but close) and a few seconds after I let off the pedal, a distinct smell of overheating electronics (possibly burning?) started filling the car. If...

Hello all. We just got a 2015 85D that is about to go out of warranty. Not having any issues with the car besides just replacing a rear half shaft and seal (which was pretty easy), but wanted to learn as much about the drive units as possible. I’ve been reading here and it seems that some units...

Hello, I tried to search through the forums and did not find the issue / solution to the problem I am having with the driver power seat. The driver seat reclines fine with no issues, however, when I try to move it forward or back, I hear a grinding noise and only the left side of the seat...

All my life I've owned muscle cars, and made the switch to my M3 AWD a few months ago. Everything is perfect, however I'm missing the exhaust sounds of my old cars. Is there an app/program I can open that will play exhaust sounds as I accelerate?? There are some on the App Store but they are...

Hi, I have a Model S 85 2014. Nothing changed on the car, all original. While on a long road trip (UK to Spain) the car gave me different error messages (picture below). A bit of drama, but I was able to take it to the nearest Tesla Service Centre in Barcelona, Spain. Tesla UK told me the main...

Hello Everyone, I'm not sure if anyone has had this issue before or any resolution, but last night, my motor (as it seems) blew on me. During a drive, I felt the front passenger brake lock up twice. As any rational person would, I pulled over and inspected, didn't see any issue. When I got...

In July I was allocated a LR M3 with a VIN starting with LRW3F7EB but I deferred delivery until Sep, so this vehicle was de-allocated. I have now been allocated a new vehicle with a VIN LRW3F7EK. I have not been able to find any details as to what the difference is between the B and K...

My 2012 Sig (S2108) blew its motor yesterday 3 months out of the 8yr drivetrain warranty. It's Spring here in Canada - car has been in freezing temps since October, parked outside, but always under a carport. Here's the thing, when Tesla service opened up the motor after faulting to the point of...

We got 2 Model Y LR AWDs in mid-December. This morning we went to open the door of one of them and nothing would happen. The app was perpetually trying to connect. The screen would not illuminate. Key card did nothing. So, I call Tesla Support and they say the 12V battery is discharged and needs...

I have a 2019 built Model 3. I haven't had it for more than 3 months. Recently, in the past week or so, I began seeing an annoying error message "Both pedals pressed - Motor power removed" every time I braked. (I was not pressing both pedals). I attached the error message to show what it looked...

Although its been about two months since the battery conditioning feature en route to superchargers was released, I just noticed for the first time (possibly because I didn't have music playing) that there is a very distinctive high frequency whining noise coming from either the inverter or the...

I can get good drive unit assemblies in lots of places, and in fact, they've fallen precipitously in price the past year or so. But, I'd prefer to give a good home to a MS or MX PERFORMANCE ("Sport") rear drive unit, or the subassemblies, where the diff or gearcase got trashed in a side hit...

Saw this Teslarati article tonight on Sandy Munro and Mark Ellis' (Munro & Associates) Model 3 motor review and it's comparison to the Chevy Bolt, BMW i3 and Jaguar I-Pace. The report is not released yet but quite the glowing summary of it so far, at least as far as the Model 3 goes. Apparently...

I've had this noise for about 6 months now. It sounds like a roller bearing going bad...what might the experts in this forum think it is? Here is a link to 2 videos recorded on a fairly smooth road: Video 1, Noise Recording - YCF197.mp4 and 1 more file The sound has the same frequency as the...

Well, this is interesting if true: the Model 3 has a different type of motor with permanent magnets according to this. The Secrets of Electric Cars and Their Motors: It's Not All About the Battery, Folks The arguments at the end seems specious(read: BS) to me. Could it be that Tesla has found...

During a recent 1,000 mile trip, I noticed my Model S 60D would make a faint noise under acceleration from the front of the car that sounded a little like a diesel engine. Often times, it would be masked by tire or wind noise. The more I pushed the accelerator, the louder the noise would...

Hello everyone, I have decided to parts out my black model s p85+ after purchasing over $7000 in parts and completing the majority of repairs. Tesla refused to sell any more parts and shut off updates for the car as well as refusing any service including programing a new key fob (the original...

So, I'm developing a new problem since a few weeks.. Between 120 kmh and 130kmh (75-85 mph), I have a hum that is quite apparent. It disappears as soon as I accelerate hard, but is there all the time when cruising at highway speed. Now I've read on the German TFF forum that I'm not the first to...

Hello! I'm finishing a grad elective at the moment for a Sound, Music and Technology class. My thesis project is looking at electric engine sounds. I'm lucky to be driving a Roadster at the moment so I thought I'd reach out to the community. Where would the group recommend to record the engine...

When I took a test ride I was told that it's the same motor in the front of the P85D as in the back and front of the 85D. But when I look at the ordering pages it says 2x 188 hk in the 85D and 221 hk in the front of the P85D. Is it the same motor but different inverters or is anything else?

Keeping the Roadster motor cool has been discussed before, but looking at the air cooling system it looks like the motor cooling fins could be easily choked by dust in the cooling fan blown air (like a vacuum cleaner sucking dirt off the road ! :rolleyes: ). A layer of dust on the fins will...

I'm curious about the scaling of efficiency of a as you increase power, volume, and mass. I've been thinking about it since Elon mentioned a Tesla truck. Trucks tend to have a significant amount of mass, and when towing or carrying a heavy payload, the mass is increased even more. But with...
