I’m going to give this a shot. Do I have to remove air from the system or anything like that in order to remove the strut ?

i've also personally gone way over the hitch load limit. However, I eventually installed the draw-tite class 3 for peace of mind.

fwiw, i replaced the tilt motor in my 2nd row passenger side seat and it was a lot easier than I had thought. It took about 1 hr tops, the service manual has the instructions.

i'm about to do it on mine too, you mentioned in a previous post that I have to empty bellows? Can you elaborate on that?

Just would like to add I purchased an sc01 Tesla with keysavvy and it worked out however note that the sc01 transfer is out of their hands on whether that works out or not. The sc01 transfer is completely reliant on the previous owner doing it in their app and keysavvy is completely out of the...

The German fit and finish is no contest. However German tech is also no contest. They are historically the worst type of automobile implementation and reliability when it comes to anything electrical or electronic.

Mine went out and so none of the wheel buttons work and I'm getting restraint error. The wheel also makes a small amount of clicking noise when I turn the wheel. Does anyone know how much does Tesla charge to fix change out the steering control module and or how much the part costs...

Don’t get a used one. The new ones are priced low enough and you really want the warranty. To give you an idea a broken ac compressor will cost you upwards of 4-6k from the sc. that’s just one of the many big ticket items. Don’t do it.

Meh. Mcu1 to 2 was not worth it imo. Other than to get fsd its a waste of $2k

i dont believe this to be true. two of my legacy MX (with FSD) came with free camera upgrade.

All great points above, however, I will also give my thoughts since I've owned 3 legacy MX's each with a diff combination of EAP/FSD/MCU. '16 P90D has EAP and MCU1. '16 75D had FSD and originally MCU1 -> paid to upgrade to MCU2 '16 P100D had EAP and MCU2 -> paid to upgrade to FSD First off...

That is MASSIVE. $4k savings is nothing to sneeze at. Thanks for the heads up, I went ahead and bought it. In regard to the mcu upgrade tho, I'm basing it on my experience from my first MX where I had FSD included already but didn't have MCU2. So I still had to pay $2k out of pocket to get...

Say what?! Holy *sugar*, just confirmed and bought it. Thanks this is huge

correct. getting fsd will not upgrade your MCU without paying. Just curious tho, what FSD upgrade costs $2k? From EAP to FSD is $6k. The MCu1 to MCU2 upgrade costs $2k so I'm wondering if you're perhaps misunderstanding?

It was a compressor failure and we did do a flush. Well the ac seems to still be working well now so I guess I’ll just take it for what it’s worth. I’m going to be doing this again in my other MX preemptively before it’s compressor goes out to save myself the trouble of a flush and condenser...

Sticker says 980 gram

Right I have a 6 seater it should take 920-1000grams which would’ve been 3 cans of 320grams. I only got 2 cans in so far.

I gave it another shot and fans and ac at full blast I was able to get it to suck in an additional (320g) can of refrigerant after a LOT of shaking, positioning, begging and cursing it took a long time too about 15 minutes. However 3rd can it only took a tiny bit no matter what I did I can...

Yes the compressor came with oil in it. Thanks I’ll give that all a try but when I had been charging I only opened the low side with the high side knob closed. Assuming that’s the way I’m supposed to do it , how does the high side pressure reading climb if that valve is closed?

I recently did the same compressor change using the same procedure. I also ran into the same issue with the dessicant bag except that I ended up getting so fed up with it I replaced the entire condenser (it was cheap from Amazon). However, I could use your advice on filling the r134a ('16...

Anyone know how to get to the HVAC test in a 2016 P90? I looked at the service menu but don't see anything.

I also love the FWD, it's one of the best features of the X imo. The only reason I'd buy another Tesla ever again is if they fix their customer service and esp SC problem and some updated tech (real FSD and other major leading edge innovation that nobody else has). They need to stop treating...

fantastic write up!

Agreed. Don’t do it. I have 2 of them same year so can speak from experience.

I have a 16 Mx and trying to pull the driver side wiper arm. Service manual says to use their puller tool. I tried using 3 diff pullers from the nearest auto parts store and none will work because the tool profile is too tall and since the arm is under the hood the top of the puller doesn’t...

I have 16 MX and I'm about to change the ac compressor using the service manual instructions.. I've removed the fireman's plug and the 12v to battery. I've confirmed vehicle has no power in cabin or anywhere else. Is there any other standard way of checking no HV to the compressor power...

+1 on avoid SC when possible. It's amazing Tesla sells any cars with such bad SCs

Sort of off topic but do you buy the struts from Tesla SC or from ebay? I wonder how warranty on parts work when you DIY from parts purchased direct from SC. I can't even get them to cover work that they do themselves, so I imagine warranty would be hard to prove on parts that I bring back if...

i rarely use my mobile charger but when i do, yes i use it at 40amp

i've had the contis and the goodyear F1 as3 on my turbine wheels, just got the scorpions and i have to say im pleased as heck. it feels so much smoother like a new car again. just putting this here for those who are researching tires.

Awesome thanks will send this to the SC

do you happen to have a copy of the receipt that i can show my SC?

what's the business model motivation for throttling? if it takes longer for cars to charge, it'll tie up their superchargers and the long waits will discourage some people from adopting.

100%. I used to drink the KoolAid but I've lost my taste for brand loyalty to Tesla. I will likely buy another Tesla sometime in the future, until the competitors catch up. When those competitors catch up to feature parity (along with charger availability) , I will likely choose the...

my quote shows $100 labor $180 part

my vehicle is under warranty, but the battery isn't covered by it. so what coverage would i be missing out on?

I got an error message on my X that my 12v needs to be replaced and I've made a service appointment they're sending out a mobile repair person soon. However, because I have the Teslaoffer frunk device setup in the frunk and directly attaches to the 12v, should I have any concern and remove it...

glad to hear that you're safe and it's shocking how low that estimate is. do they have seat belts in the frunk for your kid?

that would be unfortunate because i like having both. good find though.

i can attest that is not the case because before i plugged in the ethernet, the solaredge monitoring app showed all blank data and the tesla app was showing realtime valid statistics. after plugging in the ethernet it almost immediately started uploading past month worth of data and eventually...

sorry i wasn't clear about that... i connected my inverter with ethernet to my router and i do have the zigbee connected to my router too.

My system is just solar.

I followed this thread's instructions to add my inverters and now I'm getting Solaredge monitoring via website and iOS app and love it! However, I'm also still getting Tesla's app monitoring and it seems to work accurately. Did Tesla turn on the ability of the inverter to send to both?
