Tesla Model S (2012-2024) Service Manual / Thermal Management / Pipe - High Pressure - Charge Port (Dual Motor) (Remove and Replace)

Warning: If the 12V power supply is disconnected, do not attempt to open any doors with door glass in closed position. Failure to follow this instruction could result in door glass shatter.

Note: Before disconnecting the 12V power supply, ensure that the driver's door window is fully open. Failure to follow this instruction could result in vehicle lockout.

Removal

  1. Remove the 12V battery bracket beam (refer to procedure).
  2. If the vehicle is equipped with air suspension, release the bolts (x2) that secure the air reservoir (torque 2.5 Nm). Carefully set the reservoir in the RH side of the underhood area.

    Note: It is not necessary to disconnect the air lines.

  5. Remove the TXV from both pipe assemblies.
  6. Remove the nuts (x2) that secure the AC lines to the compressor (torque 10 Nm). Release the lines and remove the seals. Plug the holes. Note: The following figure shows the compressor from the rear of the vehicle. Caution: The holes must be plugged to prevent contamination. Caution: Remove and discard O-rings.
  7. Plug both holes and cap both lines.
  8. Disconnect the coolant level sensor harness.
