This video was brought to you by Steinberg a better world planner Mr Green Camp power and Marcus Beale Yo what's up we are now at El bilmac you Guys remember the leaf but today we are Not we are not here we are here for the Leaf but also here for um Morgan if you Remember the tall guy I'll show you how Tall he really is look look at it's Always funny But you guys remember Morgan Um we were squeezing uh bananas and uh Cucumbers and stuff but he owns a model X also it's I think it's almost roughly As old as Optimus Prime it's uh yeah Almost yeah okay but but um can you show Me the the problem here okay so the Problem is the problem is that it has Started squeaking I've had squeaking in The front suspension before uh which was The top Arm that was squeaking This time is the lower arm I think can You just do okay I might not hear you Too much because I haven't hooked a Microphone here but if you just do this We can just do it a couple of times it's Not recommended to do this while Stationing but We're gonna check it out in in the Garage and see uh what's up with this And then suppose this is a very common Problem and uh I think you're going for Some we want to try some aftermarket
Third party Part not Tesla original right because we Are not inside the workshop we raise the Car and yeah liquor maybe you can Explain now yeah of course The car is lifted so we can check the Front suspension because customer Complaints at something wrong in the Front so let's begin I will lift more Car Yeah it's quite common problem with the Tesla's the lower back arm And it has here we can try to see so That one there They're slack and they should yeah in This side you can look so the Rubber Seal is broken Oh oh maybe if we moved a lot a little Bit more you can see that it's like a Opening there or something like that Crack crack in the rubber 100 ceiling Okay so record you could see it right Away yeah it's not the and then you know We have to look it's very easy to find Out what's wrong so these two arms Uh totally dead So let's check more and then the problem Is that if you don't fix this yeah the Wheel alignment is wrong and it will eat Inside especially this this arm Controls the the wheel straightness not Straightness but how it's the camera Yeah exactly you feel because when it's
Broken like this now Wheels going inside So the inner Tire will be Going worse and worse and good broke the Tire I've seen many posts on Facebook about This inside of the tire from Tesla Especially Tesla's the rear in the front Inside the tires So these arms is the first thing what You need to change to save the tires Okay and The wheels moving up and down so a slack Yep And it it is in the same lower arm So yeah Morgan mentioned that the Autopilot actually doesn't wear it it's The autopilot is doing uh like a Chinese Car is a bit bubbling because I guess Autopilot try to input something but Then the wheel because it's quite quite Big movement for the for the road so It's you can move left and right it's it Now it looks it's very small but on the Road it feels very much so I because we Can try to look inside What's which which part is moving it's The same on the other side there's a Slack on the other side another side no Only in the side okay so now my Colleague will try to help us and we can See very clearly It's moving oh okay it's supposed to be Fixed or I mean not moving like that no It cannot move at all
This is just wear and tear right or is It Warranty or is it over time this happens Yeah it's it's Normal Because now on the well the left side Yeah and also you can see here also it's Zoom in here as you can see the movement Whoa whoa yeah so that's why cars Sometimes are going not going straight Maybe the Chinese cars are like this who Knows Because now let's see the squeaking Let's hear the squeaking if we lower the Car That wasn't the right Foreign [Music] [Music] Hmm So now we're under the car again and Yeah and one interesting thing about How you will change the battery not Battery in the bolt because this bolt on This arm it's quite strange decision of The Tesla because when you need to Change this arm you need to take out This bolt but the bolt you see the Gap By one finger and the length of the Yeah it's a little long and you need to Take out And in this side but it's the battery so It means you cannot take out this bolt Let's just lower the battery uh yeah
It's two options lower the battery or or The special tool just cut the bolt but How do you install a new ball stand from Another Side oh it's much easier and the Same thing it works everything is the Same but why we decided to put both from This side it's strange well the model 3 Model y are not like this are they no Okay yeah so model X and model X is the Same maybe they were never designed to Be repaired Maybe So yeah it's quite interesting thing for The this Engineering but yeah but how do you guys Change it and do you lower the battery Or do you cut the bolt ah Of course it's easier to cut the bolt Because to take out the battery it takes Much much more time and many bolts and Screw and everything so Just cutting the bolt everybody does now Because in the beginning of course Everybody tried to just lower the Battery but it's it's it's not so smart To do that because hour and more just For the change the arm is going to Change will not change but lower the Battery so it's it's not so easy okay so But it's you know I said it's uh I don't Know how he thought it will be normal But yeah it's now we know how to fix it Faster Because now the squeaking so and now Rico is going to turn the wheel
And it turns out it's it's actually not This side It's actually this side all this time Oh I can hear it Yeah it's this side oh okay That must be super annoying for Morgan To drive around with this I had you know I had the same same sound on Optimus Prime also Model X Seems to be a common problem Right so it's been a couple hours and Then Richard has done the repair now we Replace all the parts yep so we're gonna Take a little look here so this is these Are the old Parts yeah these two arms Maybe I can try Push by my hand a Little Bit Hurts oh Look at that oh that is just uh I just So I I pushing very hard but in when It's in the car it has much more power So so it's just a so volunteer from Weather and temperature difference and Uh yeah because it's it's motion it's Quite powerful When you're turning the the the the Wheel it's in this place is is a big Power so it's a rubber so it's so yeah I Mean what I want to know is this is Natural wear and tear it's not bad Design it's not Who knows because it could be stronger Of course but uh it's also no it's not For the long it's not long life so It must
And this one also I think this is oh Yeah I see the Gap there yeah Which side it is but This one or yeah I think this one but now it's [Music] It moves freely so we cannot hear any Noise And this one I can even with my hand can Move I can feel it's clicking Clicking is that the click sound or Sometimes but at this moment no it just Wasn't shaking the wheel so that will The yeah wheel but it should be tight Yeah yeah it should be hard hard moving Part and here's the bolts so you cut it Yeah I cut it let me see how was it Again if you try to put the parts where It's originally it was together and was It this versus yeah it was connected Like this and when it's on in the car And this goes like this and we have Approximately this space and here starts The battery So you cannot move out so just cutting And taking this from the side and later Just putting from this side it's the Same oh oh you actually put it the wrong Side yeah okay but no problem but it's The same yeah no difference same but Different yeah okay help so two bolts Cut it two arm changed and one less and
The wheel alignment is done So the car is already drawed but sure by The way uh there was one part which part Was it again that we replaced if you can Take the was it this one uh side by side We will bring it with you and compare Because now we have a Um it's not Tesla original it's uh it's A third party yeah but It's the same but it has this this you See this opening yeah so it's slightly Different maybe it's a little bit Lighter maybe it's stronger even when You hold it in your hand you cannot feel Any difference So I think it's strong like this one so You don't think it's some different but It works everybody drives and None of them complain that it's Something wrong with them and the other Part is that cheaper than Tesla's part I think it's cheaper yes I'm not sure For the price but it's I think it's Cheaper and you can get faster of course Because sometimes Tesla even don't have The parts You can buy only in another shops okay So if you look here that one was Replaced this side was also replaced on The place and this one okay So no no sounds nothing now just cargo Straight I don't feel any movement to The right or to the left so here the car Is fixed and I think we saved the tires
For longer life Okay so now we try to turn the wheel And no sound Yeah that's it All good [Music] So you see uh I just learned today that Tesla okay nothing bad about Tesla but Tesla's own word is that I've seen posts On Facebook actually they're just the Screenshotted Tesla they actually say it Straight to the customers that they Prioritize customers under warranty and Then like this car out of warranty sorry Mark we can fix it but it's you have to Wait long maybe several months and Actually Tesla recommends the customers To go to other places like you guys or Bosch car service or somewhere So I guess you guys are happy for it Right yeah you cannot complain about That And also I mean the work you do is the Same quality and what they've Experienced and and saved and everything As Tesla would do it anyway it doesn't Matter who does it it has to be the same Quality here customers can choose Original parts or like third Say Factory parts And as quality has to be the same we Have to deliver the same quality as Tesla And Luis I also learned today that these
Squeaking sounds these rattling sounds They can be annoying but they can Actually also eat the tires or even Maybe I don't know if it will compromise Safety but at least eat tires that's not Good So you should maybe fix it If yeah you must fix it I think like it Was quite a big loose on the joint so It's not safe to to use the car actually Or would it trigger uh EU EU controller For sure for sure oh okay for sure So it's must fix yeah Okay so same with that you know I also Heard it very often the over bumps That's also annoying It depends where it's uh where it's Coming from was it this was not the same Correct not here but I heard it very Often in Tesla yeah You have to identify where it comes from I cannot say some parts is like say it's Allowed to have some loose some play but Some is not allowed okay Well but yeah so at least um When when customers for example Morgan If he comes to you How long do you have to wait wait time And approximately 10 10 days 10 working Days 10 working days okay 10 working Days and then you're getting well that's Fairly fast And that the work it takes how long they Have to work uh What it Took uh three
Hours approximately yeah okay yeah well Does the customer get a loner remember Yeah if you agree in advance we can Arrange a loner loner yeah for free both Yes I think no I don't have anymore Maybe Morgan wouldn't fit in the thing Anyway yeah Fantasy well okay cool well that's very Nice yeah so there you guys have it if You have problems and you don't Necessarily want to go to Tesla you can Come here or you can go somewhere else Depending on where you live and so on at Least mainly in Norway but I guess this Also applies to other regions yes yeah So I think that's going to be it for now I hope you guys enjoyed this video as Always thank you for watching and talk To you later
Electric Vehicles and Electric City Infrastructure
Tesla Ford GM Power Manufacturing
Electric vehicle (EV) technology is maturing, and production costs are coming down rapidly. Purchase prices can still be higher than comparable conventional vehicles, but the cost of operating an EV is substantially lower and can be further offset by fuel savings and other incentives like the federal Qualified Plug-in Electric-Drive Motor Vehicle Tax Credit and state and utility rebates.
In addition to lowering energy costs, the environmental impact of an EV is far smaller than a gas car. An average EV in the US produces less global warming pollution than a gasoline car that gets 73 miles per gallon, and can be made nearly emissions free by pairing with rooftop solar and home energy storage.
A growing number of cities are introducing EV-friendly infrastructure, including charging stations. These can be found in public spaces like parking garages and at work sites. In many cases, EVs can be charged using a standard 120 Volt (Level 1) outlet, though to charge more quickly it’s often easier to install a dedicated 240 Volt (Level 2) outlet or charging system.
As demand for EVs grows, a more robust and accessible charging network will be crucial to the success of the industry. This is why NYC DOT has set ambitious goals for the city’s EV market. Reaching these goals will require a huge effort from the entire community. To help with this, the City is deploying more charging stations across Manhattan, including at work sites and in public spaces.
