Fixing my 2013 Tesla Model S battery pack. Today I removed the ski rail covers and umbrella valves.
Please click SHOW MORE!
The umbrella valves are designed to let air pressure OUT of the battery pack, but when they don’t work right, they can let damaging moisture IN to the pack!
I removed the umbrella valves to examine them and get the pack ready for replacement parts.
