High mileage check-in
- Thread starter Dolemite
- Start date
109k miles here 282 on charge. It's been beat by supercharger and towing. You still get 297? That's good. Did you not get the 325 update?
Battery is 100.00 at parts store. The a arms didn't have to be replaced. I pulled my boot down on balljoint and added lithium grease around 60k miles ago cost me a couple dollars. Never replaced the check strap but geez it's annoying to hear then pop. I took them off and shaved them down and it worked for a while. The plastic wears grooves. So I guess I'll break down and replace them. They should have been aluminum
Don't replace the whole a arm. Grease the joint. I did mine 60k miles ago. Takes 5 minutes
Yeah I fixed mine 60k miles ago. I pulled that metal clip and put white lithium grease in the joint and put the rubber back. No issues since
108k miles 282 on mine. Although it's a little cold right now. May effect the
charge
We've done similar with our ball joints. We use a syringe to inject grease into the boot, then seal the pin hole with rubber cement. Works great.
Can you tell us how you pulled the metal clip and where it is exactly located on the rubber boot? Picture maybe?

40 k miles/ 63k km
284 miles / 458 km @ 100%
I did recalibration of the battery last month, getting it down to <5% and letting it sleep (also letting it sleep at alot of different %) and then when I did a charge from that 5% all the way up to 100% the range went from 272 miles to 284 miles
Seems to be ok, but seeing the higher milage with more miles on 100% worries me a little. But mabey the degradation doesent go as fast anymore after a certain time.
Might be getting my rear lights replaced because of fogging up.... the fogged up considerable when it was freezing outside.. now the are clear again.. hopefully the fog up again when I'm at the SC.

Just over 80,000 miles since new in August of 2019. Control arm replaced under warranty. Minor software glitch fixed OTA. Other than tires that don't last I love my car.

Has anyone thought about their front ball joints and lubing and re-sealing them?

Also recently had a service appointment a CLICK when I stopped or started the car, turns out to be the motor splines needing to be lubed, I was at ~105K miles, but they took care of it anyway.
Now with the new software update with the blind spot cameras coming up when the turn signals are on I notice that my cameras are blinded by the repeater lights on the sides of the car, so I have made another appointment for that:

Mass Service at Rocklin SC 12/29-31/21
Yesterday I attended the mass front ball joint lubrication and inspection service at the Rocklin service center. This was for selected Model S/3/X that had not had their ball joints inspected and lubricated from other visits. It was like organized chaos with service people running up and down...

Glare from side repeaters in blind spot camera?
Has anyone else noticed glare from the side repeater turn signal blinking in the blind spot camera? It’s only happening on one side for me.

We’ve lubed our ball joints. Works great.
Service tightened up the axle nuts on ours and that stopped the clicking.

Have you cleaned the cameras? Some glare from the turn signals is normal but extreme glare is usually caused by dirty lenses.

Yes I did, this is POST cleaning, did a whole car wash yesterday before last nights Supercharger hunt:
Same on both sides.
Did you lube you OWN ball joints? Is this in the service manual? Is there a number of miles or months?

Camera still appears to have a good view of the road. It’s the sky that’s washed out, which doesn’t really matter. Operating as designed. (Channeling my inner Tesla rep)
Yeah we did our own. Use a grease syringe to inject good grease into the joint’s boot, then seal up the pin hole with some rubber cement. Great success!
