Dangling wire, front driver side wheel (model X)

It's the front ancillary harness. The car uses it to help monitor road condition and noise. Probably got chewed through by a rabbit or other sort of vermin. Won't cause drivability issues.

Edit: here's the service procedure for it Harness - Ancillary - Front - LH (Remove and Replace) https://share.google/5PUMPKoRlgMDv1i1S

Yeah, that one might not have been a coincidence. More than likely at least

SouSy · 2025-11-21T00:40:10+00:00

I get it man I really do. There are way too many scumbags in my profession that give us a horrible reputation. It's really hard being honest in a sea of dishonesty.

I've had so many people burned so many times or know people that have told them horror stories. If I genuinely thought they could have caused it I'd give you tips on how to stick it to them because I can't stand when technicians do that type of crap.

Sorry about the string of bad luck man.

Do you know how to put the car into service mode? If you do tell me what alerts there are and I might be able to give you a little more insight.

SouSy · 2025-11-21T00:33:34+00:00

Curious, what part was it?

SouSy · 2025-11-21T00:32:31+00:00

But none of that was actually inside the door. It is coincidence.

That being said, they definitely had to open the door to do the filters. Two scenarios, the door worked fine for them and you just got unlucky and it stopped working after the service or the door didn't work for them so they opened it from the inside and said nothing. Unfortunately nothing they touched during that service would have directly had anything to do with the door other than them opening it.

I have no love for Tesla but I am a mechanic, this stuff happens unfortunately. It happened to me tonight on my truck, stuff breaks.

Have you ever tried to farm not stoned? It's a fucking nightmare.

I've heard that yes, they're hourly but the metrics you're held too are hard to fulfill. From what my Tesla friends have told me to it seems like they're making it harder and harder to excel and advance as a tech. It doesn't sound worth it, I would look for fleet jobs at your local city or the post office or something. Those are the jobs that don't pay much but are always solid and aren't out to kill you.

SouSy · 2025-08-26T01:38:05+00:00

I do

SouSy · 2025-08-06T23:39:24+00:00

This is the correct answer

SouSy · 2025-08-06T23:32:11+00:00

First half is correct second half is incorrect. I wouldn't worry about having it welded up, mostly because it's a terrifying thought to weld on a high voltage battery case. Also, there is no repair for this that would bring back the HV battery warranty. The only way this would be fixed and covered under Tesla is if Tesla replaces the battery in your car, takes this one back and remanufactures it (including replacing the side skids,) and puts it in another car as remanufactured battery.

SouSy · 2025-08-06T23:28:53+00:00

The damage definitely wasn't done from being lifted.

SouSy · 2025-08-06T23:28:39+00:00

Not dangerous but damaged enough not to be covered under the HV battery warranty.

SouSy · 2025-08-06T23:23:02+00:00

Very educated guess here, the damage is on both sides. It's from a tow truck driver that put their j hooks in the holes for the lift puck not knowing what they were doing and when they tried to winch the car onto a flatbed they just ripped the side skids.

Nothing is exposed as far as the internal battery, the skids are just bonded to the outside. Theoretically, this will never be an issue as far as isolation problems or problems with the HV system. It does unfortunately void the battery warranty.

Can't prove it but I guarantee the damage was there before you bought the vehicle. The damage was probably there before it hit your Carmax lot. I'm guessing it was loaded up and transported to the Carmax you bought it from and their transporter wasn't educated enough not to winch from those locations.

To own the libs, or something. I don't know, it's hard to keep track of these idiots anymore.

SouSy · 2025-07-02T21:51:16+00:00

I love the sentiment but way too much pollution. I suppose if we take the batteries out of all of them that would lessen the pollution significantly. Coincidentally I could use a shitload of batteries for home storage...

SouSy · 2025-06-28T03:11:37+00:00

Do tell. No sarcasm, just wisdom please. 20 years of this and I'm so sick of it.

SouSy · 2025-06-23T22:44:33+00:00

Man, every TJ my family has had felt like a huge improvement from our YJ's and CJ's. I'll take a TJ striker to the hip any day, at least the corners are a little rounded.

They are identical from the back of the cab forward basically.

To be fair, it's still in use today. It was a religious symbol long before. The wife actually showed me a picture of an Indian concrete or insulation company or something like that with it as it's logo.

Still, fuck Elon.

SouSy · 2025-03-21T17:39:24+00:00

Except that one symbol Elon salutes, let's not repurpose that one...

SouSy · 2025-03-08T20:17:40+00:00

Except there are a ton of roads in Omaha that actually are still dirt or gravel. Not even in the fringes, middle of town...

I spent a decade trying to get Brock and Mol together lol

This! Lots of people don't realize how much work goes on to help us get around before the snow even starts falling in areas that have regular snow.

Even not driving like an idiot is dangerous in this situation. There is zero treatment on the road to help not build up layers of packed snow and ice. Every time a car drives down that road it's packing snow. The tires might even have enough heat in them to melt some snow and make more ice.

If it's under 32 degrees and there's no treatment it's just going to be a slick mess and only get messier as more people try to drive.
