2019 Model S Raven – Adaptive ride control unavailable

(TAS_a168 front-right rebound). Fixed by reseating the connector, no lift or jack.

Got the usual pair of alerts: adaptive ride control unavailable / vehicle speed limited. Service Mode showed TAS_a314_dampingReduced and the useful one, TAS_a168_damperValveRbndFR – front-right rebound damper valve unplugged, shorted, or faulted. It was intermittent. Cleared after the car sat for an hour, then occasionally came back.

No need to jack it or pull the wheel. Set suspension to Very High and turned the wheel to full right lock. The damper valve body sits outside the wheel-arch liner, so nothing has to come off. Two plugs on it: the longer wire loop is rebound, the shorter is compression.

Powered the car off (Controls → Safety → Power Off), unplugged the rebound connector, sprayed DeoxIT D5 in the plug and socket, let it flash off, and clicked it home. Short test drive afterward had no alerts.

Too early to call it permanent – the fault was intermittent – but the code pointed at that exact plug and it’s quiet so far. Photos of the valve body and the rebound connector.

Anyone bite on these EVOffer plaid seats?

Have been slowly retrofitting everything on my 24’ plaid to match a 26, after doing bumpers wheels and interior lights I’m left with the seats before being basically all done.

Was just looking to see if anyone had em and didn’t like them for a notable reason, and if someone could help me confirm which options would mirror OEM as EVoffer customer service leaves quite a bit to be desired lol

17’ 75D with serious tire wear / alignment issues

Guys ,

I cannot get this tire wear and alignment issue under control and I’m desperate.

We have had at least 3 alignments in the last few years and gone through multiple sets of tires due to inner tire wear.

What is the end all permanent fix ? I am so tired of this issue .

The car has 204k miles on it , so I suspect the suspension parts are worn.

Should I just replace every suspension part with aftermarket ?

Help!

PSA for those for updated recently for "minor security fixes" using 2026.32.7 and now your car wont charge at home.

the problem: something in the update is causing the AC handshake between your home charger and your car to act like bloods and crips. youll get an error that goes like " your power grid sucks "

the temp solution: lower your cars charge rate by half, go into the settings for both your car and your home charger and drop them both down to 24A. once your car starts charging at the full 24A, then you can go in and increase your charge rate back to its normal 40A/48A rate (depending if your level 2 charger is hooked up to a 50amp outlet or hardwired)

the real solution: submit a service ticket and tell them you want the virtual service team to pull the logs from your car to verify the errors. they will pull the logs and push out a software rollback "update" which will put you back one step in updates. this should fix the issues some of us are having with charging at home.

Palladium Rear Seat Creak/Squeak

Doing some searching and having taken my MSP to the service center, I understand this issue is incredibly common. The DIY fix I found online was to basically work a bunch of grease/lubricant into the latch area. I did this twice to no avail. The service center put some felt tape around the U frame, which maybe reduced the noise by about 20%. I even tried a hard foam piece that someone sells on Etsy. Nothing has stopped the noise.

Anyone else had this issue and found a fix that works? Could it be that my squeak is not coming from the latch? When I fold the seat down I get no noise. Also when my son is sitting back there it makes no noise.

Hatch Trim Re-Install after Cinch Motor Replacement

Hey all,

My cinch motor wasn't working. Replaced the cinch motor and the latch, and all is good now. But I'm having a hell of a time getting the main trim piece back in place and the clips all aligned.

Anyone that has done this have any tips? I'll be trying back at it in the morning. Had a long day before taking on the project tonight. Figure I can finish it in the morning and move on to the door handle repair.
