Repairing a Flooded Tesla Model S : HOW-TO

[LoL Rick]

It regulates air quality/smells inside the cabin, ozonator or something like that it's called

In older cars it was to the right of the steering wheel up under the dash trim. It's a little module with a tiny fan that senses temp and humidity. It does not regulate "smells". Where do people get this s**t from?!? I'm sure there are many SO's that would love a smell regulator, but sadly, it doesn't exist.

The ionizer was introduced in the summer of 2014 and my car was one of the first to have it. Not related to the little grille in the console, but it is a real thing. Well, at least it's a real button on the screen.

Update.


Did I ever mention that I sold my 19s and got 21s? Well. Yeah I got 21s you can see them in the previous video very briefly.

Have you put a seat in yet, or you just going with a milk crate?

Have you tried charging yet?

 

[mike77cos]

You can see over the dashboard that way?

Video of your first drive reaction, or I will lose my sh!t. We are all living this vicariously through you!

 

[e-FTW]

sh!t

Anecdote: when typing the correct spelling for excrement, the forum auto-replaced it with *sugar* once saved. I personally would have replaced it with *salt*, but that is just me. Feels more contextual. Sorry if I am offending folks.
I'll go to a quiet spot around here and see if George Carlin's works trigger all the filters.
(removing link, too direct for my taste)
Well, no, they don't. It catches #1 and #3.

No

 

[Saghost]

No

This doesn't strike you as a problem?

UPDATE

Figured since I was wrenching on the car today Id look into upgrading my tpms so that I can see the individual tire pressures. Welp. Tesla put a stop to that pretty quickly. I called them up and they won't sell me the parts for the retrofit. It has to be approved by engineering and they will only upgrade to the newer system if there is an issue with the current system.


Womp womp....

That's sad. Very sad for Tesla to judge such stuff.

You might have to purchase a new salvage to pull the tpms gear.

 

[oneday]

Well.....

Did you ghost ride the whip or what???
