    "Center Display Unavailable" message

    Oh! I thought all saw what I do, I guess those with eMMC's replaced don't have this anymore? (which may confirm yours has been done?) Mine has been replaced, but by third party, so no record of that by Tesla, and it is working flawlessly so I won't let them touch it.

    What does the app say about the health of the eMMC? Go to service and the eMMC recall status button should appear

    Supercharger - Nanaimo, BC

    lived in Nanaimo in grade 1 and 2, about 50 years ago. Haven't been there since. Superchargers might be enough incentive to go see if I can recognize the house I lived in :)

    rear adjustable toe link and camber arms by thecamberking

    Hardrace are even less than these no-name pieces, and they are quality, they have history and a good reputation. I have them on my 2014 along with the toe arms and I would buy them again. Quality product. (search around for the best website to use; I ordered from the Europe site and it was the...

    Replacing instrument cluster

    It's all about liability. That is the correct procedure, but 99.9% of the time it is not necessary. Like the last electrician who replaced a breaker in my panel without shutting the power off. He said "I'll be fine" and he was, but if he was telling someone else to do it he would definitely...

    Rear Camber arms option - Hardrace

    Well all I can tell you is my experience. I have air suspension, in the firmer plus version, which was only available for a short time, and I notice no extra NVH with the Hardrace over the cushy worn out oem bushings. And I have both camber arms and toe links.

    2014 model S Windshield

    I'm not the type of user to give thumbs down, but you are incorrect. There were plenty of changes to Tesla's in 2014. As most of us know, you can't label a model S by calendar year like other manufacturers. Auto Pilot 1 was introduced in Sept 2014. Can a car be retrofitted with Autopilot...

    Time for a new HV Battery

    Yeah, it is pretty tough to rinse and clean that part of the car. Even after winter is over I imagine there is dry crystallized salt sitting there, and spring rains just wet it down and it essentially rusts all year long. Most cars in climates like this only last 10 years anyway, as the whole...

    Rear Camber arms option - Hardrace

    Okay, I was a little off. Okay, alot off. :) I read about an amount of downforce somewhere else before this was posted in 2020, but this will have to do :) But according to this theoretical data there should be about 30 kg or 66 lbs. of downforce at 175 km/h. (109 mph) (Taken from the graph as a...

    Rear Camber arms option - Hardrace

    If you do plenty of reading you will see plenty suggest up to 0.5 degrees more on the right for road crown. With hands off the wheel sometimes my car drifts right after over 1 km, sometimes drifts left, sometimes goes straight for 2 km, so it depends on the shape and curvature of the road where...

    I recall reading years ago that the rear carbon fibre spoiler included with the P versions adds several hundred pounds of downforce to the rear of the model S at high speeds.

    Rear Camber arms option - Hardrace

    That looks "correct", but I don't think Tesla correct is good enough. I like the fronts as close to zero as possible for longevity, and I find no adverse handling because of it. And yes +0.15 rears. Now truthfully + or _ .05 no-one is going to notice, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone got...

    Rear Axle Clicking

    I was finally getting some clicking noises as well, as it was a series of clicks not just a simple whack upon acceleration to deceleration I was positive it was the right rear wheel bearing so I replaced it. Clicks are still present! Next step try this moly lubrication. Not as easy as it sounds...

    Cost? Windshield crack getting worse everyday - Bay Area CA

    Yup, that was me a couple of years ago. Tesla must have got a real large bad batch of windshields. The replacement had a distortion in the same spot, but a little less prominent. The one I have now is perfect though, hope it lasts, but where I am at they distribute so much gravel on the roads in...

    Leaking 3-way valve

    Isn't the game fun? Last I talked to them they said it's all online now, just set up an account. And the form asks what size spray booth you have, and what is your business number. I filled it out anyway and they sent it back incomplete. I again ask the service centre, and they said they would...

    Need advice on recurrent rotor problems with 2014 Model S

    This is a good read: tl:dr - rotors are not actually warped, rather they have inconsistent friction characteristics due to high and low spots on the surface of the rotor, due to improper installation of the wheel, and/or improper bedding of the pads on the new rotor. Tesla tech's don't...

    2015 Model S Parking Brake Pad?

    Well they didn't integrate the parking brake until 2016 or 2017, so a 2013 definitely has separate parking brake calipers. You can see 2 calipers on the rear rotors, yes? But I don't understand cutting the pins? If it is seized you just replace the whole caliper; cutting the pins holding the...

    Winter tire recommendations

    Any winter tire is going to have more tread movement than summer's or all season's of course, due to its softness, compound, and all that siping permitting the wedges of tire to move and grab snow and displace moisture is what gives traction. Further to this, going off of memory, I believe...

    HV Battery Replacement — What an I getting?

    I received the 1014116-00-C pack in November and they did not touch any rear suspension parts. The 350V 90 pack is actually a little lighter than the original 85 pack. The downside to the new pack is you are going to have to ask for the bill right after ordering, and eat faster than usual in...

    Time for a new HV Battery

    But there are some reman listed in the 2016-2021 catalog, and since my 2014 received the 1014116-00-C pack listed in that catalog, the catalog the pack comes from doesn't matter. Don't know if the old reman 85 is now called the reman 90 or not.

    But, you are located in Texas.

    Is this unusual to have to replace the rear drive unit and rear calipers at 95K miles on a model S (2013)? And is it a reasonable cost?

    To add some dollars to what howardc64 mentioned above, Short term, if all of the LDU's had the drain kit installed from QC for ~2k, then if it leaks the owner only has to shell out another ~5K to have it rebuilt. If the leak has gone on long enough to cause more major damage then the owner...
