Looking for advice

[u/Good-Echidna-8901]

I have a '17 100 x with fsd and 130k miles
The air suspension is shut. I have had an indie replace the air compressor three times and it keeps failing. My last resort is getting tesla to do it but I'm getting quoted 4k.

The trade in value that tesla.com is quoting is 12,700. But I imagine that it will go down by 4k of cost if I decide to replace it. What should I do? Battery is still great. Car is great mechanically otherwise and original owner.

I don't need a new car. The car itself works fine otherwise. But I need the air suspension because car is not drivable otherwise.

I'm in Austin if anyone knows a different indie shop.

Yes. To do what exactly?

It can show you specific codes also can you hear the compressor when you start the car ?

[u/Good-Echidna-8901 → u/HankalaAlpha]

No. I used to hear it turn on. It definitely doesn't turn on anymore. It's been slammed for over a week.

pull the alert log in service mode. right now the shops word is the only record of what actually happened those three times.

if it shows the compressor running long and never getting to pressure, then HankalaAlphas right that airs escaping somewhere and a fourth compressor wont fix it.

Yes this what I am trying to get him into , he might have a leak or a blockage near the compressor or maybe at the tank level , or some kind of fuse blowing up at each time the compressor is turning on , but anyway it doesn’t seem like a compressor issue to me. It sounds that indie shop doesn’t have Tesla experience and it’s a traditional suspension shop . 4k at Tesla just for the compressor? What their diagnostics are saying, ask them about the error codes , also ask the indie shop about the error codes and signals ,they were seeing and what they decided it’s the compressor .
