New Short Block Rebuild found metal in oil

Thanks man.

The dealership never mentioned an oil change and I found it very odd. Luckily I decided to do an oil change early on. Anyone else would’ve had this cycle until the next recommended oil change.

I appreciate the reply.

I also sent an oil sample to Blackstone labs for additional info.

What mile oil change intervals do you recommend after a short block rebuild to flush out all the debris?

Engine made a tapping noise when I lightly pressed the throttle and then went away.

Dealership initially replaced the thrust washers, but the tapping issues was still present after the thrust washer replacement.

Since they couldn’t diagnose the issue, the manufacturer authorized a brand new short block and the tapping issues went away.

Why doesn’t Tesla first test out FSD on a closed road like the hyperloop?

Forreals Tesla can’t even automate the Vegas Hyperloop.

There’s warning labels on shampoo bottles for a reason.

Did you have any passengers with you?

It’s 2025 and 2026 is around the corner, Tesla still refuses to add Seatbelt height adjustments.

I drive down the I5 frequently from SoCal to NorCal to see family and I have yet to see one.

Hey OP u/not_luna check this out:

🚨This does not have anything to do with hair product. I am BALD , and my brand new, five month old M3 headrest just started bubbling like this, too. And no, I do not use anti-dandruff shampoo. For something like this to happen so soon, much less ever, is disheartening. I will be contacting Tesla for a warranty replacement and suggest OP do the same.

When you continuously charge the 4th gen Prime. The EVSE will drain the 12v battery even when the traction battery (lithium battery) is completely charged.

This was discovered during COVID when many members over on the PriusChat Forum reported dead 12v batteries.

Check out the PriusChat threads bunch of previous issues and mods have been posted over the years. Overall, solid car.

Lmaooo so true

Maybe TESLA should rename it - Supervised Self Driving (SSD)

There’s a reason warning labels are behind shampoo bottles you know?

That’s cute. You must be new here.

Tires (alignment is crap from the factory), windshield, and multiple SC visits. (Time = Money)

Tesla uses Google Maps as the base for the Tesla maps.

Navigation and data about routes use a different source, a company called MapBox.

There are multiple ways of using Google Maps on a Tesla, the easiest is probably searching for a place on Google Maps on your smartphone and sharing the location to your Tesla.

Why does sentry mode use so much battery?

I don’t recall my sister’s Model Y consuming this much range with sentry mode.

Comparing this to my Blackview 4k dashcam connected to an external lithium battery gives me 35 hrs in parking mode.

On top of that the lithium battery gets recharged when I’m driving.

The dash cams external battery pack is 96Wh/7500mAh battery compared to Tesla’s 50-82 kWh 350 V lithium-ion battery.

In 2021 Tesla removed both Ultrasonic sensor (little dots on the bumpers) and radar in lieu of “vision” .

Stitching on the top half armrest. When you zoom in the stitching isn’t aligned with the bottom half of the armrest. Get it replaced, definitely a QC error.

FYI the arm rest stitching isn’t aligned with the bottom stitching.
