repair

I bought a paint repair kit from the online Tesla shop, but I ordered the wrong color. Unfortunately, the kits cannot be returned. I have since bought the correct color for myself. The kit I am selling is the Metallic Blue. It is brand new, only opened to show the contents, nothing was every...

A few days ago I got in the car quickly and accidentally broke off my blinker stalk. Since I like fixing things on my car, I did a little research and found that the entire unit that holds all control stalks around the steering wheel is one unit that can easily replaced. I doubled check the...

Well a woman hit my parked car- front left wheel Saturday and I came back to some damage to my XPEL wrap but thankfully no permanent visible damage. I'm almost 100% that it was just her SUV's tire that smacked me. My concern is that I was not there to view the incident and now my alignment is...

Hi, so far my X has been great, but I did notice a rough patch when I closed the driver's door on my first exit coming home, and noticed a small paint chip on the edge of the driver's door. Tesla is awesome and states they will call me to repair it when they coordinate with the auto body shop...

I had the black ring break off from one of my pins in my charge port. It just got brittle over time and broke off. I fixed it myself in about 30 min. I did this a few weeks ago. Supercharging and normal charging works fine as usual. Hope this is helpful to see.

I have an acquaintance who owns a high quality body shop, handling mostly high end Jaguar, Audi, Mercedes, Lexus, etc., here in West Virginia. A lot of the cars he seeing now include aluminum body parts, so his team is trained and experienced with working in aluminum. There are no Tesla...

If your Model S's push-to-talk doesn't work, try this DIY fix: My Tesla Is Broken on Twitter It worked for me, but now I have to apologize to other drivers and pedestrians when I want to navigate by voice or play music.

So this was sitting on the dashboard of my Model 3. Took a picture of it on the Tesla lot. Was told of a delivery delay pertaining to some “minor cosmetic” issues. Delivery specialist says paint chip on trunk and it needs to go to body shop. But this water repair checklist has got me nervous...

Anyone get an email regarding this issue? Dear Tesla Owner, My name is xxx, I work with the Mobile Service team at Tesla and we are reaching out to you to schedule the replacement of the industry-wide recall of the Park Brake repair. We want to assure that all customer vehicles provide the...

My X100D only has about 6400 miles on it, and the tires were in great shape until I got a nail in the left-rear tire yesterday. It's right in the middle of the tread and looks totally repairable, but two tire shops (one Tires Plus, one Tire Kingdom) refused to repair it today. They both said it...

I'll start out by saying that I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I will certainly move it if not. I've had this written up for a while and been debating whether to post it and have decided now to do it. The Accident The accident happened on eastbound Harding Pl...

Hi all, I leased a Model S 90D and got into an accident. The car has been in the bodyshop for 2 months, with the first small body shop telling me they had a 25-tesla backlog and that mine would not be done till at least March (they told me this in october). I had it towed to a larger body shop...

Recently had a fender bender. Small hole in my bumper and seems like park assist is out, even though it doesn't seem to be too close to the sensor. (Pic attached) do I need to cover this with electrical tape until repair or is it best to leave it be?

Decided to try out Tesla's new in-house body shop, thinking it would be smoother than using Chilton + rental. Caught in the triple vortex of A New Process, Good Intentions, and Something Else I Don't Understand. Contacted PA SC, customersupport@, bodyshopsupport@, and exec escalation. No...

so here i am, sitting on a traffic controlled on-ramp, about to do my normal pop up to speed that p90d owners are accustom to. only today will be different, mere seconds after i activated the accelerator i received the achievement; "drive unit needs service, avoid hard acceleration." i think...

Last night we were out for dinner with friends who have a M3 on order and our MS was involved in a smash and grab through the small side window in the rear. It's a favorite way for perps to open the rear seat/s and look to see what's in your cargo area when deciding if it pays for them to spend...

After a 5 hour road trip (S. Tahoe to home in South Bay Area) in our MX yesterday, we got a low tire pressure warning during the last 15 mins before reaching our home. Thank gawd it happened then and not during our trip in Tahoe or worse, during the drive to or from. We tried out the new Tesla...

My right front fender liner popped off after hitting a pot hole - just the front section of the fender liner. No other damage. Does anyone know where I can get a new one? I think it would be easy to pop a new one on. Would I be able to get from Tesla?

This ignorant lady in a Ford Flex didnt see me stopped and rammed me at 40mph! Posting pics now!

Just bought a used Model S and the last owner did a terrible job installing an aftermarket carbon fiber spoiler. The adhesive is coming up on both ends and it needs to be removed and reattached. I'm looking for recommendations for someone who can do this type of work in the Phoenix area. Thanks!

We’ve had our Tesla model X for six months now, and I want to share my bittersweet experience with you all. We bought the car in June, 2016. My wife and I loved driving it, and the kids were very excited— good design, smart technology, and very fun and smooth to drive. We were very happy, until...

I'm staring at the second windshield chip in a week (was fixed last Thursday night by Tesla in Fremont, CA). Ironically, enough, on my way home from TSC to return a loaner tire they had given us until we could get our tire repaired (third tire this month to get a screw. Suspicious?). I can't...

Hi Everyone, I could use some advice on the best process for accessing and removing the accelerator pedal. A panel covers up the wiring under the dash but unfortunately also blocks access to the bolts for removing the pedal--see the picture with the big red circle. The panel has a hex screw...

Someone once said you can have too much free time or too much free money, but never both. I'm in the free time camp, and thinking of buying a salvage car and fixing it up for my own enjoyment. I've read horror stories about Tesla not being salvage car friendly, but they seem to be rather...

My Tesla P85D was in a serious wreck yesterday. Anyone have a recommendation for body work in the Dallas area? Any experiences appreciated.

Hi, Looking to see if I can start repairing PEMs as a 3rd party service. Does anyone know of any dead ones that we could take a shot at? We currently do module/board level repair and diagnostics on 3ph power systems, similar though not the same. We are confident we could get something...

Hi Everyone, New here, new owner and thrilled for both! I got my Model S 2 weeks ago and love it but I would really love to know if anyone can recommend professionals in the Los Angeles area for: Window Tinting Rim repairs Rim protector installations Opticoat application And anything else...

Has any one got the Vehicle Replacement insurance from Optiom as opposed to the New Vehicle Replacement Plus from ICBC in British Columbia? I just got my car two weeks ago and I have two more weeks to decide on whether to get the Vehicle Replacement insurance from Optiom (VEHICLE REPLACEMENT...

I am having an issue with the tailgate (trunk lid) release actuator which I assume is the solenoid or relay that pulls the cable to the two latches to open the trunk lid. About nine months ago, the actuator started working intermittently. I took my roadster to the Tesla service center for...

Hi everyone. Im pretty new to this forum. I have red a few threats from here and that's about it. Recently I got TESLA P85 which was hit on the front. So the now we are working on the body repairs while doing some troubleshooting on the electric problems. Basically when i received the car, it...

I am a long-time lurker, first-time poster so please forgive me if this is in the wrong place or something. I picked up my baby (Silver S85, VIN P26783) on 12/14/13. It's been almost a year of stellar driving and mostly stellar service experience while I racked up 21,000 miles on my baby I...

I wanted to let the group know about a great body shop that cost 60% less than the body shop the Seattle SC to which we were referred, and did impeccable work. It's McCleod Auto Body in Kirkland. I strongly recommend them (and have no personal connection to them other than being a one-time...
