My 2018 MS is at Tesla right now having both rear replaced at a cost of £2600! £800 for each strut and £1000 labour! 😢was going to do it myself but couldn’t find any videos other than older versions.
yeah its really expensive at Tesla. Similar prices here in Norway. You find the video for the Tesla S facelift rear installation here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Swlc0l7ylBA.htmlsi=P5jDIAI9bZGuSeQy
Tusen takk Christian for den veldig informativ video, jeg har en problem også med air suspensjon. dette skal hjelpe meg veldig mye. :) Hilse fra Vennesla :)
Hei. Hvilken høyde står bilen i når du bytter? Høy, lav, normal? Og har såfall dette noe si? Vil tro du har den i servicemodus 😄 takk ellers for meget bra video.

I just used polygrip pliers. But it may be difficult to get to the valve, particularly on the left side, if I remember correctly. So had to loosen and lower the air strut a bit for access
Great video and explanation! Thank you for making it and thanks for the english subtitles, helped a lot! In combination with your other video (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZN2yu0AtM4o.html) I was able to fix my leaking air struts. I managed to replace it also without removing the parking brake. Just detaching the power cable of the parking brake was enough to counterweight and pull out the main bolt.
