Here is the quote for the replacement HEPA filter. Any body got a number to compare to?

Does anyone else feel it ironic or odd that the area they purposefully excluded the diverter at the top near the windshield is at the air intake? If purposeful, why? As an engineering I am baffled. “More air” would be a first year response.

Parts catalog now shows a separate HEPA filter OTC part number available but service, so far, will inly quote the assembly ($284).

Is it worth replacing the HEPA before installing the sock and dam? Is the filter actually bad?

Skeletor - "Until we meet again"

So after the tighter tolerance half shaft replacement, the vibration went away but came back after an additional service? I was reading all of the history of you posts but missed the moment when the vibration returned.

Please do. I hope Tesla has recognized this as a defect and thus warranty work.

One to add or add to.... Insufficient or wear on the front drive motor mount due to "too much reliance on the front motor...". I saw a video demonstrating this a while back but forgot to bring it forward in the post.

What do you know to be causing the issue? I haven't heard anyone else having vibration at 80 mph. This could be a very dangerous issue... Most are around 40-50mph.

In my particular case it isn't tire wear either but this is just a typical cause of vibration in all cars.

Three potential causes: 1) half shaft wear - you would feel vibration across a wide range of speed/acceleration 2) software - too much reliance on front motor at certain speeds. Can be diagnosed in track mode by adjusting distribution between front and rear drives. Software tuning can fix...

Are they still charging for the hepa filter assembly or has this become warranty work?

They ain't making this easy..... I assume the thermistor for the evaporator coil is on the down flow side of the coil as is the drain tube (which is already a pretty impossible reach without a lift) but both still with some merit(?).... Somebody suggested earlier to turn the fan on "high" and...

This is still probably the best answer so far.....

I'm betting this is the location of the evaporator

Looks like you can get the entire assembly, I assume with motors, OTC now. Not sure its worth the cost (whatever that is....)

I am wondering if the best place to access the coil is by removing the HEPA in the frunk and going directly through the fresh air intake. If I only had a borescope....

I should have taken a bunch of pictures when I had it apart but I didn't. I do not know for sure but when I pulled the HEPA assembly cover off and the HVAC fresh air intake HEPA filter out, if you look directly below it, you will see a black rubber hose exiting the cabin. I believe this to be...

I pulled both (cabin and HEPA) a couple weeks ago and did this with a spray bottle. No Smell. Its the coil. I just can't get to it....

Also, anybody have a favorite cabin filter? Are any of these charcoal/baking soda layered filters helpful or just gimmicky? Appreciate the feedback. I have done this not too long ago. No smell. I know I have bacteria in the coils. I just need a better way to get to them.

Having the same issue and hope these fixes remove the problem going forward for some but I haven't observed any water or "wetness" on or near my HEPA. I pulled it out and inspected and gave it the "sniff" test. I am definitely getting condensation build up within the system. Two things strike...

Congrats on your default judgment. I am looking into it now after an unresponsive process through the TN AG.

Thank you. Last night I ran it for 4 hours at 48A and it evened out at 150F PCB and 106F Handle. Good to have a solid comparison.

Ok. The engineer in me is gonna drive me nuts if I keep staring at this. What do we believe to be the normal operating temperature of the gen 3 when charging at 48A. I have the wall monitor app measuring the PCB, Handle, etc. As well as a temperature gun. I have read the trip temperature...

Here is my response to the response from Tesla. I feel under the legal construct of "contra proferentem" they cannot stand on the MVPA: I consider the response from Tesla to be non responsive to the complaint. The Motor vehicle purchase agreement (MVPA) is not specific to the feature discussed...

I can confirm that Tesla is providing a canned response to all persons involved. I got the exact reply noted and when I rebutted the reply they refused to answer my state Consumer protection complaint. I will also look into "Squabble".

I am convinced this is a software issue now. I just finished a new install and the older software 22.23 that was currently loaded before update matched the meter within a fraction of a percent. As soon as the software updated to 22.41 the voltage reading dropped by 5 volts.

There was a bad set of relays back in the day. I got nothing else for now. Get it under a load and watch the temp and amps.

Forgot to ask, is this a new or used charger?

I would say its a little bit more when cold but it is always there.

and amps allowed to be delivered by the charger.

Voltage drop is only observed under load. How long is the run from the panel to the charger (dont forget to add the 24ft for the charger cable length, etc.)? What is the wire size? A good voltage drop calculator is southwire app. 3.7% seems excessive for the install but cant tell without the...

Here is my 25 point test result which was a little befuddling and somewhat confirming. The befuddling, the "daily driver" response (i.e non-track mode) was also the worst response. Only duplicated in one test case in track mode. (SA=10, R25/F75). The confirming, the comment from WilliamG (and...

I will test this. Just read it.

I got some interesting feedback on another forum about this occurring in someone's Model Y due to the foam separating from the tire wall inside the tire. They said it has already happened twice (I assume two different tires...). Doesn't seem like a lot of weight but it only takes 1/2 ounce to...

It is subtle but in the pedal between 42-50 mph (currently at 7000 miles). I have noticed the range widening. At 1500 miles it was only between 44-46 mph. I am thinking tire balance due to wear but could also be shaft and bearings. It feels like the passenger front tire. Anyone else see similar?

Agree with you but they have to deliver something or have a “plan” to deliver or I think there is a case. The way its going many of us will get replacement MCUZ due to failures during warranty. Like you said, its just shady business. If they came with a real path forward (not $2100) for 2021...

In car gaming on par with the newest consoles was also advertised as a feature on the website and Spoken about in the video at the delivery event saying PS-5 level performance. Its an open issue to be delivered to customers. If not steam then what? I dont think Sonic the Hedgehog qualifies.

The feature was and was demonstrated at the delivery event. How they implemented the feature (ie Steam specifically) was not. To date the only avenues taken have been BBB complaints (response was this is an optional feature not included) and complaint to state AGs consumer protection...

My issue is very simple. Don't say you are going to sell me something, demo it, and then not do it. If they never even mentioned the capability back in 2021 and it came out today, I would be like "oh well" and wouldn't care because I wasn't promised anything. If you are going to advertise...

Their problem, not ours. The feature, even though not steam particular, was advertised ("up to 10 teraflops of processing power enables in-car gaming on-par with today's newest consoles", "PS-5 Level Performance" ) and demonstrated in a 2021 Model S. Between 200 mph costing an additional $20k in...

Its pretty pitiful overall. First the 2021 early adopters of the Model S Palladium do not get the "in-car gaming on-par with today's newest consoles". Second, the 2022+ Model S/X do not get "PS-5 Level Performance". So nothing advertised at the release has been delivered. Why say you are going...

actually he stated the demoed car was running at 60 fps.

Good to see some of the OG "Model S Delivery" forum on here. This "No Steam" thing has gotten under my skin. I am having a back and forth with Tesla about it with little consideration (filed with bbb). Any positive information on a retrofit not costing $2000?

This was a video of the DELIVERY event.

Now that tesla is selling the adapter at $250, I am looking at this move to have a CCS option for roadtrips. I go to places where Superchargers aren't as available (Pensacola, FL for example). Any change in opinion on this topic in the past 6 months? The math seems to suggest about 7-10k road...

For those that like to mince words, here you go.... 22:40 - 24:30

Concur. I started with a Plaid+ order, remember that. Swivel screen, gaming, 200 mph, 520 mile range, etc in the literature. Now delivery in December 2021 after waiting 14 months after being moved “to the front of the line” because i was a launch day order and a plaid+ order (not even close...

This is great news. The drive to Knoxville is getting old. I have walked that knoxville mall way too many times.
