Tesla Model 3 AC Compressor Replacement

This is a video documenting the changing of a Tesla Model 3 AC Compressor on a mid 2018 vehicle. I replace the air conditioning compressor and recharge the ac system with R134A.

The amount of OIL in the Compressor is 40ml
The Oil used is Ester Based (Non conductive as the compressor has submersed electric coils)
The volume of refrigerant is:
2008 Model 3: 660g (min:640, max:680)
Newer Model 3: 1020g
*Always check the manual, its FREE!

A few points:
1. I realize that the general parlance for heat pump is NOT what is installed on my vehicle, however an AC compressor is a heat pump.
2. Liquid to Gas (Evaporation) is Endothermic. This happens in the evaporator.
3. Gas to Liquid (Compression) is Exothermic. This happens in the condenser.
4. You can get the Tesla service manuals for Free at service.tesla.com. You should use them.
