    clunk transitioning from on to off throttle

    To check if the mount is broken you'll need to look at where the drive unit bolts to the cradle. Backside of the drive unit. The rear plastic cover may need to be removed to see this. Another thing that can cause this "clunk" is the splines on the driveshafts that go through the outer hubs. They...

    eMMC repair question: broken glass in dashboard display, replaced with plastic - is this normal?

    Check out ReelDeal for a replacement IC. The goo is leaking on your cluster and can be cleaned with alcohol/acetone. It's a messy job, but can be done. The SC didn't access the Cluster when doing the EMMC. Do a search here, there is plenty of info on "de-Goo" of these screens My $.02 Kaveman

    Are camber correction kits worth it?

    Have a look for yourself... 21" Wheels, right around 40K miles. Fronts wore perfectly, rears, not so much. Added a set of HardRace camber arms, running in "Standard" mode and the new tire are wearing perfectly. No negative camber wear out anymore. My $.02 Kaveman

    On your MCU1 or MCU2 car, what version of maps do you have?

    I changed out the Micro SD card(Got an industrial version on the Zon) and it updated. Just had to take the dash apart again to gain access to the card. Bit of a PITA but not terrible

    Fixed by changing out the 16Gb micro SD card in the MCU. Kind of a pain to get at, and must be formatted correctly. There are quite a few threads on this. Kaveman

    Vendor Preventative Maintenance regarding Battery Failures in early Model S vehicles (2012-2014)

    Hi, I got some PEX 1/2 x 1/2 Elbows and some Vinyl Hose(small spool 1/2 OD) at the Depot. Used a hose clamp to make sure it doesn't leak from the original drain as it is 5/8 ID(I think). Routed around the "penthouse" and an elbow out behind the rear of the front suspension. The piece going down...

    Vendor Preventative Maintenance regarding Battery Failures in early Model S vehicles (2012-2014)

    This issue is now a Business Insider/Yahoo story: A Tesla owner says he was locked out of his electric car after the battery died — an issue that he says would cost over $20,000 to fix Wonder if anything will come from it?

    Vendor Preventative Maintenance regarding Battery Failures in early Model S vehicles (2012-2014)

    Might be hard to see, but routed around the top of the battery and out behind the front right suspension. Long enough hose to drip below the battery housing(even though it's welded)

    Did a re-route of the drain today after reading this thread. My pack was replaced in 2020, but the SC did not change out the drain pipe. Here in FL the evaporator sweats alot! Glad to get that water off of the battery... What a design! another $.02 Kaveman

    Since the latest NAV update won't download to my 2013 P85 MCU1, I've taken the dash apart(again...) to put in a new 16G "industrial" microSD. I tried to buy a pre formatted one at the local SC, but they didn't have one in stock(a wasted trip as you can't call and check availability or...

    Just got .5 installed. Looks the same as .1... Haven't had the MCU1 reboot since these updates. Still won't update the NAV data. Guess I'll be swapping the SD card sometime soon.. It's just a nuisance to get updated map data(I know the SD card is Really old!)... Another $.02 Kaveman

    Anyone Here from Brisbane AU

    As the Title says: Looking at getting some parts from a vendor a bit south of Brisbane. They don't ship to the US that I can see. Guess the postage is an issue. Would like to see if you are near by, pick up the parts(s)(pre paid), and send them to the US. TX Kaveman333

    On your MCU1 or MCU2 car, what version of maps do you have?

    Screen does show it connected ( super slow dialup speeds), then just hangs... SC said $300 for a visit to connect and do the update via toolbox. Nope... Older version still working fine. I'll just use what's on there. Maybe the next update for NAV will work. As I said I'm not the only MCU1 that...

    On your MCU1 or MCU2 car, what version of maps do you have?

    MCU1, NAV update frozen multiple times. SC remotely restarted, still download shows 56K/sec... Then hangs. Current version NAV still working fine. Just disconnected WiFi for now. V11 update came over no problem. I don't think I'm the only MCU1 that is experiencing this download issue.

    Fan noise behind driver display

    Most likely it's the cooling fan behind the display. Not that difficult to replace if you can find the replacement fan. I had to order one from AliBaba. There are a few threads here covering the display. If you take it apart you may want to replace the screen as well.

    Tesla 1st Gen TPMS Sensors Issues

    JSD17, I am going to assume(you know what that means), that you car doesn't have the newer "Conti" system installed. That means you will only get a warning if any of the sensors stop working or you actually have a low tire. The original Balong system didn't display actual pressures on the dash...

    Tesla 1st Gen TPMS Sensors Issues

    What brand Sensors are they. I can say from previous experience that Autel sensors unfortunately don't work well with the older Balong system used in earlier cars. They will connect and reset with the car, but in use, they lose communication with the module.
