After just a few weeks with my new to me cheap Tesla Model S, it finally broke. It seemed like it would be a straight forward fix, but because everything on this car is electronic and driven by computers, it added a few days time to what should've taken a few hours! Plus I fix my Mom's Italian SUV and install a fresh set of @bilsteinUS PSS9 Coilovers on our Turbo Porsche Cayman Project!

I'm starting to wonder if any Cheap Used Tesla is a good deal... But I can always count on a Great Deal at Priority Tire with 5% off any tires and accessories by using the code 'PTSAMCRAC624' until July 15th at: bit.ly/Samcrac_PriorityTire.
no Tesla tires???
Door trim clips should be replaced every time you remove the panel per Tesla. Also, note the SRS pressure sensor in the middle of the door. In order for it to work properly in an impact, all of the open holes need the round stickers replaced every time you remove them.
@@blodg1 Rubbish, I've had my drivers side door trim off at least 5-6 times and the clips hold fine
Who puts $80 tires on a BMW.... Screw your "Priority tire" and screw you... Bet those tires wear out VERY fast...
I used your code for some tires for my Gladiator. Out the door it cost $509, which was $100 cheaper than the set I got a couple years ago.
Sam, you're in my top 5 automotive UA-camr's. It's because your car repairs are straight forward, honest, and genuine. Every repair may not be "by the book," but they work and you're transparent if it's a cheap fix or if you let the stealership take you for a ride with no lube.
5:50 in is what Mrs Crac sees on a Friday night
Wow!
Was going to say the same thing lol
Ok, that's creepy AF.
LOL
“I really hope whatever we just did ends up working cause it was miserable” 😂
You had mentioned in the last video, they slim jammed into the car at the auction house, they probably broke that regulator at the auction house by pushing down on the window assembly to reach in with a pocky stick to open the door,
If putting a doorman window regulator is your biggest problem on a Tesla, that’s a deal.
Hmmm very interesting idea. The definitely slim jimmed it. When I talked to Rich he said that a few years ago people were replacing regulators with used ones as well before these parts were available.
@@Samcrac best thing about an older Tesla is available aftermarket and used parts. So many haters though - it's wild! I'd venture to bet 95% has never actually owned a Tesla. That's fine with me as the used market stays soft.
@@mickdee6590 because people fear what they don't know
Never seen your mom , but I sure do miss your step , mom
IKR, is she okay, I'll volunteer to stop over and check on her, cheer her up a bit.
🤭🤭🤭🤭🤫
Underrated comment😂
Thirsty. And lame.
We need more stepmom fixing
Stepmom was an xnxx goat, real ones remember
man if the v10 is one of those E60 M5 it would be awesome
It's more likely to be a 2006 S6
@urosb82 i didn't know Audis had a v10 on those... they make more sense for the price.
No E5 going for $1900. It has to be an Audi.
@coreymoyers look he said you would not believe... and thats the v10 that sounds the most unbelieveable to me. But yes those VW make way more sense
Probably an AUDI S6!!
Sam, just 10 years ago I was terrified of buying an old Volvo thinking that it’ll bankrupt me. After your encouraging videos I got into Audi’s and with a proper vw audi scanner they’re very easy to own and work on. Few years later, I just picked up a 958 cayenne turbo that I’m doing a full bottom end rebuild on. Thanks for your videos!
i bought an audi recently and the 8 speed cvt in it is starting to feel laggy when pulling from a stop, how do you recommend i continue?
@@crazy38438 speed and CVT are oxymorons. CVT does not have gears, hence the name; continuously variable transmission. In either case, start by checking the obvious, check for leaks, make sure the level is good, while checking the level, see how dark the fluid is, give it a sniff too
M5 V10 definitely
That is my guess as well
My thoughts exactly
but can only afford gt radial tires ...
Or Audi S8 V10
I just don’t think he could get an M5 that cheap. Even with the issues which are legendary. I vote for Audi.
Fellow Blackwood owner here. Good to see you with it Sam!!
Love it when you figure things out! one of my favorite channels!
At 5:32 Sam looks like he's been smoking his surname
It's because for some reason he does videos with bears stubble. Smart guy, I don't know why he wants to look dirty.
It’s a Tesla. It’s broken when it’s comes from the factory.
Love your videos, Sam! Love the way you seamlessly integrate your sponsor's messages. Usually I fast-forward through the in-video commercials, but the way you do it is extra-clever. Kudos! Nice job on the Cayman. But good luck getting that Tesla working right. I guess we'll see more of that one, eh?
4:55 man... thats just the silly straw i got with my cup from 2010! who you foolin!
Hook at the end… I like it.
I love it when you solve problems! among my preferred stations!
Tip: If your window stop moving and is down, press the button to raise it while closing the door a little harder than normal. This may fix your problem.
You know sam, that’s one of the things i like about your channel….. while other channels loose interest and basically disappear be it for vacation, or whatever you don’t do that… you always have fresh content you don’t try and show old stuff and i appreciate that!⚡️👍🏿😀
Either an Audi S6 or S8. One of my favorite Audis
Sam, that was probably the most enjoyable video that I have seen from you! Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Nice of you to help your Mom Sam, but I was really hoping you could help your Step Mom again. She really ought to have a regular spot on this channel, imo.
Haha you look high on gas fumes! Lol. Love your videos. Keep them coming!!!
as he's working on this thinking of the days when door handels were mechanical and virtually never broke. then saw the guy crawling through the window and started shaking my head
The fact that the interior door handles don't work without 12v is actually a bit concerning.
@@zingbat4Its like the Cadillac XLR back in the day, they use a primary electronic opener, but there is a mechanical override for when you don't have power to the doors
VW/Audi handles from the 80s broke a lot
@@zingbat4All teslas have backups for the door handles. If outside the car and the battery is dead, there are jump points where you can start the low voltage system. In this generation of the Model S, “If Model S has no electrical power, front doors open as usual using the interior door handles.”
The door wasn’t entirely assembled before it was all fixed, so that’s why any handles may not have worked.
@@zhorzhas always exceptions. that's why I said "virtally", which means Almost entirely
Bro, your videos are gold.
I bet its a VW Phaeton. That's the only thing I can think of that would be less than $2K and still not worth the price.
Weren't phaetons v12?
@@y0usef Some Phaetons were W12's like their cousins the Audi A8L W12 sedans. Audi S8 (D3 gen) is a V10 sedan so that might be the car he got.
@@y0usef They were a W12 (essentially two VR6 together), but they did make a V10 TDi although not sure Sam would go for a Diesel?
I think he had a phaeton a while ago, so I can't be that
Well. Some could say the same for a few bmw.
Was about to go to bed; guess my bed can wait 🎉
That’s exactly how I feel when I begin watching this guy’s videos, everything else can wait.
Loving the tesla escape room
FYI to save climbing in the window next time, the front door will open if you pull the interior handle all the way, this uses the manual cable release which will work when there is no power or a fault with the actuator
Regulators!, Mount Up!
lol!
18:36 @Samcrac makes a half mill a year working on cars, still jacks cars out in the yard.
Never forget where you came from
People were telling him for years to get a lift for his Ferrari too lol
@@y0usef I think the said ferrari is now permanently parked on that lift.
One of the best videos you have released lately. Many thanks🎉
I legitimately enjoy your add spots...
Excellent video. Really good fast paced interesting content. Thanks for making it. So charge port on Model S won't open ? 😺
Priority Tire is freaking amazing. Mucho Macho for life!!!
I'm more of a Ling Long Guy
@@Samcrac omg Samcrac replied to my comment I have died and gone to heaven. My #2 is definitely Forceum Tires. Ling Long for life of course!!!
Call yourselves enthusiasts and put cheap junk tyres on fast cars, absolute lunacy
You said the magic words , Priority Tire, he managed to work into the video twice. 💰💸
Those old scizzer lift window regulators sure worked great and had much less problems. As far as the V10, maybe an Audi S6?
I just greased up my 2001 4Runner window regulators. Still running perfect with fresh grease.
Keep it, the Tesla fix common easy issues series will pay well.
I'm guessing an Audi S6 or S8? That would be unbelievably cheap for a Lambo derived V10
So I had to pause this video to comment . Best ever video. Love the climbing in .you rock!
I have that same little Tekton ratchet. I love it.
Mighty car mods and Samcrac both modding fuel pumps in two days. I’m here for it.
Sam, your such a great guy I appreciate you for uploading videos and I love you 😬
I spy with my two eye, the old Dominos pizza oven car at 11:48
I watched all 22m of this video and step mom didn't show up once. 😜
Thank you!
Mom not step mom :(
@@Rascate81 it was sarcasm... Funnier in my head apparently
@@themidnightwillno he meant Stepmom, (watch some of his old videos)
10:53 dorman? hope you remembered how you did this fix, you'll be doing it again in a couple of months.
Can't be any worse than parts from tesla.
I thought the same thing , but 5 years on my window regulator from Dorman still going like new.
@@Emilthehun proof a broken clock can be right twice a day.
Every dorman product I ever bought failed prematurely. First it was VCT solenoids for my Ford 5.4L 3V. Then it was a tensioner pulley (bearings didn't last a year) then I want to say alternator but not 100% it was a dorman.
@@muskokamike127 yes exactly. But then again I wouldn't buy cheap components that actually matter. A window is not essential. I've learned my lesson with a cheap hub bearing that last only a year and left me with 3 wheels only 😂
The Stelvio and the Giulia are both beautiful cars, the Quadrifoglio 🍀 ones are awesome fun cars with the flat plane crank 510HP Ferrari V6 ❤
Cheap V10 sedan? Could be a BMW E60 M5, Audi S6 V10 or Audi S8 V10. Fun times! 😁
Sam is a true master in transitioning from a story tale to the sponsor of the video, smooth like no others...
I'm like, is he actually fixing the car now, or is he trying to sell me that bolt he just took off ?🤔😅
Interesting perspective, got me thinking!
I think that block of switches on the drivers door for the windows is a Chrysler part....
Started off as Mercedes and then Chrysler started using them when Mercedes’ owned them.
I'm hoping for the day when Sam gets a good purchase and all he needs to do is a service and a detail.
actually thats a very straight forward fix for the window issue... apart from having to climb through your window😂 but if you did it again, its just a bust fuse, and you'd have some, and leave your door open.
So a fuse blows and you cannot open your door wow😮
There's an emergency door release, he just didn't use it.
@fishsticklunch fair youtube drama then cheers
@@fishsticklunchI think it's funny people think it's a Tesla only thing. The Cadillac XLR had an electronic door release with a mechanical override too, I even remember a story of an old guy dying in his driveway in one because he tragically couldn't find the door release
@@fishsticklunch Yeah, just what you need in an actual emergency, the need to remember the correct procedure to open a door! 😀
@@steviejc666 Not really, I mean if it's an actual emergency and you can't open the door - you then have to know and/or remember how to open the door if the door won't open. It's excessively complex design, and therefore objectively sh*t.
5:50 What Sam’s wife sees 🫣
🤣🤣🤣
😂 What a sight
Lol. Rofl 🫠🫠🫠🤪🤪🤪
C'mon man this isn't only fans we don't need to see you climbing into a car, now we can't unsee that .✌🏽😝
Looks like a good time to upgrade the door speaker.
I don't even own a tesla but there is a manual door release
In this generation of Model S, the interior handles work normally with or without power. You may just have to pull it a bit harder for the cable to engage lol
The headline could have been shortened to 'My Tesla Broke' - seems very common.
Using a Dorman part is a great way to learn the lesson about by once cry once 😂
lol the expression on your face after you've climbed through the car window
tesla engineering never fails to disappoint
A simple blown fuse and a window regulator failure on a 10+ year old, 100,000+ mile car sounds good to me. You say it as if it’s a massive problem.
Truth be told, my ICE cars never had a problem… except for when it spontaneously caught on fire that one time. Wait…
@@blewis42002 I can understand if you have no design or mechanical engineering experience that it must be difficult for you to recognise poor design decisions and poor build quality. It's ok. Strange, none of my cars have ever spontaneously caught fire. Please don't reply, its not going to be worth my time to read whatever you type.
@@scott_aero3915 lmfao someones salty
I'd like to ask where in the video the Tesla caught fire
Who wants another guest appearance by 'step mom'?
✋
Gosh I love these series sooooo much !
I’ve used priority. Great company. Giga tire is pretty good too. I just ordered 2 sets of tires from them. Side note lol I hate rigging shit to make it work it’s a odd gut feeling
Pizza car is far superior to Tesla car.
What are the best strategies to protect my portfolio? I've heard that a downturn will devastate the financial market, so I'm concerned about my $200k stock portfolio.
There are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy situation, but such execution is usually carried out by an investment specialist
I've been in touch with a financial analyst ever since I started investing. Knowing today's culture The challenge is knowing when to purchase or sell when investing in trending stocks, which is pretty simple. On my portfolio, which has grown over $900k in a little over a year, my adviser chooses entry and exit orders
Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach you using their service? Seems you've figured it all out.
My CFA ’ANGELA LYNN SCHILLING’ , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
Thank you for this Pointer. It was easy to find your handler, She seems very proficient and flexible. I booked a call session with her.
You are going to get used to taking those inner door panels off, when you are fixing door handles. My advise, keep an extra wiring set (flat type) as well as a couple of spare gears with you (along with the proper wrenches to fix it) in the car at all times. I have the exact same model (I recognized the Tampa SC) and had the two front doors fail on the SAME DAY! It will happen. The rear doors are harder, but there are a few tricks to make it easier (like fooling the door to keep the window higher (when the door closes), so you can access the bolt). May also want to keep an extra air suspension shock on hand too.
As an amateur mechanic and tinkerer I have found the Model S to be pretty DIY friendly with accessible fasteners and it generally seems to have been designed by engineers who don't hate mechanics as opposed to some German and American cars that I have experience with.
thats why we dont buy tesla
They're super easy to work on. I had a 2014 and loved it.
Soon enough no one will be buying Tesla 😂😉
@@thehoov6672 and why do you think that? They’re everywhere lol
He replaced the fuel pump on the Alfa and the turbo on the Porche.
You say that as if it had major issues. It was a window regulator and a fuse. For a 10+ year old car with 100k+ miles that was sitting at an auto auction for how long, honestly I would love to take this.
thank u as always u never disappoint.
Samcrac ain't scared of no challenge
Enjoying your videos more dude.
I used to enjoy seeing
his step mum, bring Mrs Crac, back!
Been using priority for about a year now. Running their tires on 3 of the 7 cars. Great tires at a better price.
Loving that Porsche always fix ur shocks when there tear they go right through ur chassis
Ruh Roh I think Sam is catching the Tesla bug. Good job catching the suspension issue. That's super common in these and I think they should have revised the design.
Sam: Window goes up - The Windows goes down
Also Sam: Window goes down - The Windows goes up
Jajajajaja you are the best Sam Love your videos 😂
This is the only channel I know that runs on more failures than success! And I'm Hooked !
As you were crawling through the driver's side window, I think I actually caught a glimpse of the SamCrack!
Cant help but notice that black SL55 AMG.. looking forward to the video on that!
You're so smart Sam.
Love the ending! 😀
You seem to be high on petrol fumes, haha! Haha. I adore your videos. Continue sending them!
love the vids 🍉 happy ur back
The Alfa *should have had the pump replaced under warranty. The dealers replaced the pump AND controller and part of the wire harness. There was also a different program flash to the ECU for the new pump controller
Great! Fix on the window regulator
19:05 that porsche has been sitting in the pasture so long it's now mimicking your cows.😅
Porsche says: "Mooooo!"
I've seen a few Tesla that are slammed and stanced so old Teslas have officially moved into the clapped out Civic column.
Comparing going from a regular car to a Tesla, to going from a blackberry to an iPhone is a perfect analogy. It’s night and day, and everything else seems old in comparison.
What a bit of good luck.
We all thinking Samcrac didn't upload a video yet...
Well a Tesla car was trying to murder him, stuff will take a bit longer guys...
You fixed 3 cars in one video, amazing!!!🤣🤣🤣
We have an 07 Cayman and I am just sorting the odds and ends out like the AOS and brakes on all 4 corners did those today it has 125K miles also did the stereo the factory sound package plus was terrible. Have done a cat back exhaust headers are next with 200 cell cats. Front Bilsteins were done I am doing the rears next, After this it will be well sorted
5:34 we all get a very uncomfortable shot. please never sweat over me again. 😂
i can only guess its an Audi S6/S8. theyre notorious for being unreliable, yet somehow, theyre still rediculously cool.
As a stelvio owner(2020 ti sport) the low battery issue becomes a problem when it starts throwing finkicky electrical codes for random stuff. The fuel pump is definatley a first year issue for them
I love your videos. Wish you could do more
Battery fuse should be under HV battery warranty. And the sscm actuator you can ignore those, they are random alerts.
Aww, I was hoping Sam's "Mom" would be in this one LOL.
I would change that plastic part for metal part in door handle whilst apart that regularly breaks. And the limit switches.
Thanks for all of your informative videos. I wish you were my mechanic. Have you ever owned or worked on a rotary Mazda RX-7. I used to have a 1985 first gen gsl trim RX-7. I loved that car. One day I hope to buy a first and second gen.😊
