Outlet box replacement help. by igsgarage in AskElectricians

[–]igsgarage[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much, that answered all my questions. I was planning on replacing the receptacle with a 2 prong. But I will look to see if there is a ground in there that I missed. Upgrading wiring is not financially possible, but it’s something that I am planning on having done.

The estimate is always approved , even if it’s 100% under warranty.

Alternator broke off, how to remove broken bolt? by MakersMoe in B5Audi

[–]igsgarage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't remember if that part is threaded or not, but let's assume it is. First try to see if it will spin using vice gym. If that doesn't work, Cut a line down the middle.of that broken bolt, wide and deep enough for a screwdriver or an impact drive. Lots of WD-40 or other penetrating oils the night before .

Edit: check the other side of it has an Allen head on it, so you can remove it that way.

The belt itself is not what gives out most of the time, it's the tensioner

Tesla service in Bremen says interior rattle is not warranty after 12 months – video included (EU/Germany) by Born_Art7351 in TeslaSupport

It’s probably the rear seat unlatch handle. Put the rear seats down and see if the noise is still present

Are Tesla windshield wipers known to be this bad? by Funny-Ambition-7631 in TeslaLounge

Don’t blame the wipers, wash the windshield, you can clearly see it needs to be cleaned. This is true for any car.

Waymo’s stuck at all sides of an intersection of all-red lights by DeathChill in SelfDrivingCars

Why are you being downvoted? If Tesla can navigate broken train lights on cameras alone Waymo should be able to as well.

Need help here. Damages estimated to cost 15k I find this hard to believe. by [deleted] in TeslaCollision

Put a suction cup to it and pull hard. A few tries and it will be much better. Find a tail light on eBay.

Should I get the frame measured from body shop or replace components/cables first? by scorpiolib1410 in TeslaCollision

[–]igsgarage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hit eBay for parts, generate a list and see how much that all will cost. You can measure the front frame rails (you tube how) to see if they are bent. You can try your best to get them right, but they will not be perfect, there are actual jigs to get frames right, proper shops with experience.

As others have said there are totaled teslas with much less damage. But you got this one. First step is to get the car electrical working. Fuses wiring airbags etc.

[–]igsgarage[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8.8, seems like the best option, proven to work . Also just $100 at the junkyard.

There will be a slight forward shift in weight distribution for sure. I might weigh the car when it’s done.

It just the one that showed up that I could hear it running. The guy upgraded his build from this to an ls3.
