Can someone please pet the doggo once a while ? you have always show some attention to the Supervisor-Dog !
I need to have these guys re-do my 13 year old 88 GT conversion.
What about the third party warranty company? Did they cover the repair cost and part?
How did you get car into service mode +?
And this is why over 90% of Drivers stick with Gas 😂😂😂😂
Nope. This is an issue with the very first EVs. The new Tesla drive motors will last 500k miles.
@@That-Guy_ yes statistically at 80-90%of drivers are gas drivers because the ev market is still a little bitch
@@michaelcorvin5891 No it's because the prices are still too high. Cheaper EVs will be available in the next few years. The vast majority of people that get an EV don't want to go back to gas.
Yes! Please please please, follow up videos on the recommended regular maintenance for EVs, that information needs to start getting out! Would love it on all EVs eventually, maybe not step by step on each EV but just what's recommended. The manufacturers love to claim nothing is needed but then when a part fails they just want you to replace it.
I had no idea this was an issue! Thanks for sharing!
Great video, very informative. Look forward to seeing many more. We need many more shops like this all over the country.
Amazing, thanks for the tutorial!
The storm drain is a cool mod, but how about the drain tube feeding into a container that has a sensor in it to alert the owner that it is leaking. It could go unnoticed for a long time in the winter for example.
Good to see that these boys aren't exactly Tesla Fan boys! Lol
2 4 2 you flinched
Thanks for the post, but don't understand why the more complex and costly, QC Charge red Performance Coolant Delete manifold was utilized instead of the simpler more cost effective blue Lite version? Since the only advantage (as far as I know?) of the red Performance version is the ability to, include an oil cooling rotor modification, which wasn't utilized.
How did they not replace it with a "U" model LDU? Known issue and I thought Tesla was replacing the units with deleted U variants.
Nice to see young guys doing this.
Yess more of these type videos, no fluff and great step by step details👍🏻
It's cool that you were able to do this, but in practical terms, one can do a 3800SC conversion for <$4000 and get a 0-60 in 3.4 sec vs $90K for your EV estimate of 5.0 sec. And it handles MUCH MUCH better than your EV (800 pounds less (estimate) without all that top heavy high mounted battery weight.) Don't think this is going to be a big hit with customers. How many customers have paid for Fiero EV conversions?
But why did the last got bad??
Which 3rd party warranty?
Great video. We had a similar AC charging issue with our '17 MX75D. I just drove 4+hr last week to get our onboard charger replaced by a 3rd party shop in Dayton, OH (Great Lakes EV). As much as I like doing things DIY on our Tesla, I didn't feel comfortable with some of steps (playing around with HV etc) as I couldnt find any videos of it being done on a Model X. Your video and step by step would have given me confidence to do this on my own.
Do the LDUs also go in the Model X?
Yea I am waiting to learn of this too. I thought they do.
No warranty on Tesla’s remanufactured drive unit? Why is this not a recall on all vehicles with LDU? I hear the rotor whine on old Model S cars all the time.
It was its light weight that made the VX a good car.
The LDU failures of Tesla are a design DEFECT.
So what stops water ingress through the storm drain?
Wondering the same thing
How much does this job cost?
ruclips.net/video/fQ-VL-fNQPs/видео.html&si=5EjY_garg2kDzy6V
This is really awesome to see these inside looks!! Nice job!! Fun to watch
Love these types of videos.
You call them cv axles they do not have cv joints but a triangular centrepiece with 3 ball bearings instead, something I have never seen before. Mine are still OK after over 400.000km.
This machined thing is cool and all but theres a $20 cap which does the exact same thing. This particular delete looks super pretty but its like, what, $450?
Sounds like to me EV manufacturing quality has not reached the quality of ICE. This might take another 10 years.
Ice qaulity? Lolz
Please don't judge the EV industry just based on Tesla.
@simonpaine2347 Thank you for that remark :-) Then are you suggesting that other EV manufacturers have better quality?
Model S with this Motor came out in 2012. So the 10 years are already there.
@@MadawaskaObservatory Absolutely! BYD have had hardly any recalls, especially compared to Tesla. Just Google and look at the amount of third party, after market modifications that are available and in some cases, just like this one, absolutely necessary. On some models of early Teslas, the windscreen wiper eats through the bonnet!
I smell bs
Tesla themselves have done this now.... calm down
So these two are smarter then tesla,,,,and where are all the other failing cars? I guess fire all the engineers at tesla and hire these to to fix propulsion systems, Im not buying it
LMAO
Tesla has implemented a similar fix with their "01-U" variant of the sport LDUs. Fact is 3rd party companies offer a similar fix without needing an entire LDU replacement. Thankfully my Model S has the 01-U LDU with factory coolant bypass.
This was an issue with the 1st generation of Tesla cars. These issues have been fixed and the motors on new ones will outlast a gas engine.
@TG_ Wrong on all counts it's not just the first generation issue.... And all of tesla's attempts failed to correct it.... that's why Tesla gave up.... and finally just copied the coolant rotor delete, that was already being done by third parties... Lastly this has nothing to do with ICEVs, my irrelevant triggered friend...
@TG_ Wrong on all counts it's not just the first generation issue.... And all of tesla's attempts failed to correct it.... that's why Tesla gave up.... and finally just copied the coolant rotor delete, that was already being done by third parties......
cool video and great upgrade indeed!
When they say LDU, is that for only the performance model S or is the AWD non performance S's motor also affected?
LDU (Large drive unit) is in RWD cars (including performance RWD). AWD not affected.
AWD Performance also have the Large DU
A pleasure to watch and listen to.
lol you make it sound like they are classic cars or something its 11 years old....
Considering how fast these things are evolving, 11 years is a long time in EVs
How much was this charger from Tesla?
"Coolant delete" is probably good for marketing, as it makes people pay more attention and say wtf why 😅
Occasionally its referred to as a, rotor manifold coolant bypass... Which is more accurate. but less amusing ;)
Broken bolt means you need to just replace the upper control arm and knuckle. Happened to mine, but I decided to just have the adjustable arms installed.
Excellent video, thx. Don't be foolish about the eye protection- wear it!
How much was the repair? What's a new charger cost? Did you top off the coolant? Could you have put a 72 amp charger in to replace the 48 amp?
What changed in the newer Model S and can a newer used unit be swapped in?
The U-revision LDU comes with the coolant deleted already from Tesla. You could buy it and have it installed for under $7k from Tesla. Mine was warranty replaced in March 2023 and it was a new T-rev so it didn’t have the delete. Waited until warranty expired and then had it done by YTS in Richmond a couple weeks ago.
Yelp it took over a decade for Tesla to realize to give up and just to delete the rotor coolant cycle.
There's a way to stop coolant getting to the rotor without dropping the LDU. It saves a ton of labor, but relies a bit more on cutting, bypassing and sealants. I like one discreet / machined part, but doing it this way comes at a steep premium.
Don't see many shops willing to take the chance on using the :Kevin Erickson Coolant Delete Kit or the other DIY variations.... But love the Ingenuity...
is this youtube account owned by like 20 different people or what
One owner, but there's several hosts.
or what
Great Video Gent's !! 🙂
These are the best videos. Thank you keep it up
It is so sad that Tesla and most independent Tesla shops around me in CA do not want to do the delete. They told me let it fail and replace the entire motor assembly for $5000. That logic makes no sense if it can be avoided. I had my delete done by Alex in Portland at his shop Wattworks
Just out of curiosity how much did it cost and how long did it take, from Alex at Wattworks? (Really impressed by his work and posts) FWIW there's an even more cost effective in-situ LDU coolant delete kit option from Kevin Erickson. (But even less likely to be offered by shops, mostly a DIY option.) ruclips.net/video/kaQ87Viy3zQ/видео.html. Good luck with your LDU.
At least you have options. Australia there are no options except tesla..
To the contrary, Tesla won't do this retrofit And I'm willing to bet that Australia has shops that will do this procedure... Plus there are DIY options.
@@karlwolf2Coonabarabran/Australia here and it is relatively easy to get the DU out (easier as an ICE) and do it yourself. However I decided not to do it (even I had the part for it) and installed a drain hose and a 3 lipped seal instead and keep rotor cooling alive.
@@nc3826But the latest Tesla refurbished LDUs (the U versions ) have indeed coolant delete. Wonder it is the same rotor / bearings / grease though.
great video, and super interesting content! keeping ev's on the road is mega important
not to magas....get it?!
