    Has anyone repaired cooling louvers?

    Not sure - my car’s not rooted or otherwise buggered about with I have MCU2, but still had to download and use the Gateway application. You can then also download a local copy of Toolbox, but my credentials did not work on that

    Has anyone repaired cooling louvers?

    I bit the bullet and paid for an hour of Toolbox Access today Found a Louvre Calibration routine - despite all four of them moving, only the RAD louvres would successfully calibrate - the COND ones failed I was looking for the ‘Louvre Angle Fix’ routine which I’ve seen mentioned on here, but...

    Western Canada Superchargers

    I always see what the navigation in the car says first - never let me down yet

    North Vancouver shouldn’t be too long - looks like it’s just awaiting its meter

    Replacement Wing Mirror Glass

    Glass usually just clips on - looks like you have a connector there for either heating or dimming, so your best bet is to get one from Tesla. Don’t cheap out on your mirrors!

    Black rubber stoppers

    Do you wash your car on the driveway? Could be the thread covers where the lights are secured - my S has those. They’re easily dislodged when washing/drying the shuts

    Supercharger - North Vancouver, BC - Marine Dr (under construction, 16 stalls?)

    Had a chat with the electricians on site today - still some work to do, then BC Hydro has to connect up and flick the switch A good week or so at least

    Car started going thunk thunk while driving

    Could be driveshaft splines - think they lube them up and tighten the hub nut

    2013 Model S 60D doesn't charge, what is scrap value?

    If it has air suspension, it’s definitely worth parting out It looks pretty clean so you’d easily make your money back if you lay out a couple of grand

    Has anyone repaired cooling louvers?

    You have a Chiller and Evaporator error there too - I have attached my results from August

    Has anyone repaired cooling louvers?

    The radiator actuators are easily accessible once the frunk is out They’re the same part as those fitted to the condenser louvres Once the weather warms up, I intend swapping them over to see what happens

    Tesla Model Y - have I made a huge mistake

    Predictably, OP has disappeared off the face of the earth Fishy, as the app would only report the last ‘driven’ tyre pressure…..

    Tesla Model Y - have I made a huge mistake

    Probably did you a favour - that tyre looks questionable to me Any tyre shop can repair punctures AA or RAC can get you out of trouble Not sure what else to say really - maybe watch some YouTube videos on car maintenance?

    AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

    Received 2024.2.3 today - very pleased with this update, as there’s now a ‘Brakes’ sub menu in Service Mode, which allows some tests and most importantly - bleeding! Thank you, Tesla if you’re watching - and please add something to allow louvre calibration next (condenser shutters)

    Supercharging for an Early Model S - Can't Tesla do the right thing?

    For the poster’s sake, I hope this is a newly discovered workaround for those caught in this situation - not sure I’d be posting it on here until I’d had the work carried out though, Tesla employees do read the forums!

    Supercharging for an Early Model S - Can't Tesla do the right thing?

    Could be something to do with MCU1 - maybe it can’t handle the code required for PAYG? It‘d be interesting to take a look at the handshake that occurs at a Supercharger for free Supercharging - and what indeed happens to those cars that are traded in to Tesla, lose the FUSC and are then resold...

    I’m on that version too - no adverse effects

    Calibrating door handles using new tool

    No, but worth a try, surely? Worst case you’ll need to take the door card off - which you might have to do anyway Good luck

    Sorry, I should have said an Autopilot Update

    AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

    According to the nhtsa.gov site, AP1 cars won’t be receiving an update for quite some time. Go there, enter your VIN and you should see the timelines

    Yep, all good so far on mine - had it about a week

    Is Tesla service trying to rip me off?

    Good lord Have you never made a mistake in your life before? They fixed it - enjoy the car now it’s working again
  26. richrootes

    Ready to charge. Unable to charge ... no power at station.

    You’ve got ‘fast charge contractors open’ in the first image - now is it the missing pilot signal or another fault preventing them from closing?

    Finally! Free Unlimited Super Charging FUSC can be transferred

    I’m assuming that if you drive it off the lot and you’re immediately involved in an accident which writes off the vehicle, there’s no ‘do over’

    1 month old Tesla Model 3 Long range T-Boned [Is this totaled?]

    Fair, but I expect someone will take issue and you’ll be ‘snipped’!

    Tesla Charger head, plastic pin got ripped out - does the pin do anything?

    It should still work ok As for getting it apart - forget it. The whole thing is injected with rubber/resin and is a one time assembly deal. I had one that was erroneously generating an over temp error that I tried to get apart I enquired about a replacement cable for the wall connector, but...

    Model Y - vehicle 4 weeks old already 2 tire punctures - warranty coverage?

    Hope your luck improves The reason I thought they looked deliberate is because they’re screws - when I had similar poor fortune a few years ago, mine were all nails (timber construction) plus their orientation was totally random - yours are in precisely the right places to write off the tyre

    Model Y - vehicle 4 weeks old already 2 tire punctures - warranty coverage?

    Those look very suspicious to me - are you sure you haven’t pissed someone off?

    Why Tesla doesn't use an "overdrive" for better range?

    I think the cars already do this with ‘torque sleep’ - introduced seven or eight years ago

    Snippiness 2.0

    Woo hoo - someone else who just joined up to moan! You’ll go far, sir - far into my ‘ignore’ list

    Has anyone repaired cooling louvers?

    This surely would be the reason for the ‘calibrate’ procedure in Toolbox?

    Unfortunate Encounter: License Plate Theft and Car Damage – Seeking Advice and Sentry Mode Mystery

    Which hospital did you take this badly beaten woman to?
  36. richrootes

    Has anyone repaired cooling louvers?

    It’s fact insofar that it’s the behaviour I have seen on all four actuators with my own eyes. There would almost certainly be an index spline if the position was critical
  37. richrootes

    Has anyone repaired cooling louvers?

    The positioning doesn’t matter - all actuators turn every time you open the charge port or start the car to redetermine their ‘limits’. You can prove this by disconnecting then reconnecting - it will always move in the same direction

    Upgraded MCU1 to MCU2 - Are you experiencing New Problems?

    Not seen this either - maybe go into service mode and force a software redeploy

    Air suspension issue

    Not definitively, but I don’t think I’d advise driving it at all whilst deflated - other components are likely to be damaged, along with giving you a bone shaker of a ride I‘ve seen other threads on air suspension trouble - you’re probably looking at a new compressor. There are ways to get it...

    Air suspension issue

    Wow - do you see all that under normal ‘Service Mode’? I have MCU2 and don’t see the extra suspension stuff

    2015 Model S - Remove, Test and Replace Front Louver

    Any update on whether this repair fixed your issue?

    Has anyone repaired cooling louvers?

    Would you fancy sending me the actuators you aren’t using to try on mine?

    [rebuilt title] Supercharger inspection failed due to jack point damage

    I guess they’ll regulate what they can, and ‘sign this waiver’ for others Interesting times though

    Navigation Audio Speaker

    We noticed this today - I personally thinks it’s a fantastic improvement. Separating the navigation from the music is one of the most logical things to be updated for a long time I really like this update - new service mode toys too. I hope they keep adding them……especially for louvre...

    Has anyone repaired cooling louvers?

    The left one did calibrate though, so that’s something at least (wasn’t this the one that you didn’t see move at all?)

    2019 M3 Rear Vent blows warm air when low-level cooling is required

    Go into Service Mode and run a thermal test - the results should show if there’s a faulty sensor or actuator

    Car Wash incident

    Request a copy of the footage from ICBC I fail to see how they can attribute 100% blame to you without hearing your side - I know ICBC can be a bit wonky, but this is plain silly
  48. richrootes

    Has anyone repaired cooling louvers?

    Ok so now I guess the next question is does recalibration fix the error? Wish it was easier to get Toolbox and play around - I used to use VAG-COM on my A6 and it was fantastic
