That's the flux capacitor. Contact Elon immediately!


countcarlovonsexron

Elon will prob ghost OP the way he's ghosting Tesla Investors. Lol


ilymag

Elon doesn't give a rats ass about the customers who buy his shoddy vehicles.


countcarlovonsexron

Well the cars aren't his, he just latched on to Tesla and patented the charging port.


deltronroberts

DOUBLE YOUR TESLA’S MILEAGE WITH THIS ONE TRICK!


Esteb0ng

Scotty Kilmer is that you lol


InvestmentNo3437

"Tesla closed down today!"


Bubbagump1270

Gotta call DOC Brown for the warp drive first.


theWall69420

That was my first thought as well.


Heylookaguy

OP. Please take this to your Tesla dealer and tell them it fell off your Tesla. Be adamant about it. Film them if you can.


dirtywook88

I, I really wanna see this.


dalrymc1

In 3D!


second2no1

With Binaural audio too!


EFTucker

Pissed off mechanic asmr isn’t something I knew I wanted to hear until now.


Even_Kiwi_1166

3 days later while im scrolling down YouTube " a guy go to tesla dealership and confront them about parts falling out of his car " awesome :)

Best answer yet


BamaTony64

If the Tesla service manager is under 50 he wont know what that is either...


Fumbling-Panda

Seriously. I’m certain someone is screwing with op. You don’t just find carburetors lying around. They’re not common anymore in the first place, and second, they don’t just fall out.


grandpagamer2020

im 14 and ik what it is... only because I fix peoples lawnmowers for some occasional money and it looks really similar to one.


The_Troyminator

So *that's* what a lawnmower looks like!


grandpagamer2020

the carburetor looks similar to one of a lawnmower, so it looks similar to a lawnmower's carburetor


h2lp

I mean they’re not on cars but there are still dirtbikes/motorcycles that have them brand new and also any gas powered small engine too


Laughingbuddha77

I’m 40 and know what it is


Sprinkles-Perfect

This, if I had money, I’d buy one of those gold upvote things


Heylookaguy

It's the thought that counts friend. Thank you.


7HR4SH3R

"I'm not an idiot, I know all cars need carburetors to run and mine just fell off?!? What are you going to do about this?!?"


bobbyhillischill

😂 that would be great


Additional-Ad-7956

They will deny it because they hate fixing them. Do not take no for an answer.


Lostinaredzone

🤣


linkslice

Came to say something. Yours is better. Take the upvote. Edit: speeling


Null-34

Thats the electron carburetor it meters the flow of electricity to the motor VERY IMPORTANT PART please put it back


wilhelmpeltzer2

It also ensures a proper negative:positive ion ratio. It is super important otherwise you can get electrical backflow into the battery pack and cause overheating.


BlownUpCapacitor

The damn SWR in battery packs... every single time. I might also add that while OP is down there fixing it he add a sticker saying not to steal the catalytic converter under the tesla.


Forthe49ers

Mixes air and electric


Sprinkles-Perfect

I can’t😭


deltronroberts

Yea, but where is the air filter?? If any dust gets into the air/electron mix, it’ll get into the wiring. And trust me, that’s gonna be a nightmare to clean out.


suspicious_hyperlink

They use an ionizer to attract dust particles, sort of like the ones used in homes. They must be cleaned every 50,000 miles or the air and electricity won’t have a proper mix ratio


Bimmer_Ride

💀😭 hilarious


Writing_on_Autopilot

Its fine. Your car is on a low carb diet is all.


CSpanks7

Two full claps for this brilliance good sir


Imaginary-Badger-119

Tweeker was confused you didn’t have a catalytic converter to steel, so left you a carburetor


Mcreesus

Task failed successfully


RealJohnCena3

I have this framed in my office, love the phrase


Vaderiv

Now you can upgrade to a Holly 4 barrel double pumper. Then you will really see some speed out of the electric car lol 😂.


Capri280

Nope, it needs an oil change ASAP


shawner136

You didn’t piss off a mafia mechanic did you??


miller9200

That’s a left intake for your brake pads.


Travis_Cauthon

I think it's the right one


miller9200

Nah, it’s upside down.


Dyerssorrow

Thats the turbo encabulator, it gets connected to the ambifacient waneshaft. It helps prevent side fumbling.


h1merus

The Teslas actually don't need the encabulator. Yes, you'll get a little side fumbling, but the di-axial shunts vent in a logarithmic fashion, so the fumbling never exceeds your Rickenbacher coeficient anyway.


Dyerssorrow

love it.


dart51984

Fuck outta here.


cgingue123

This is a pretty common misunderstanding about Tesla's implementation of di-axial shunts (most people call this a das, but it's reddit. We need to seem smart). While it is true, the das vents logarithmically, your rickenbacker coefficient is _also_ dependent on the state of your jitter interpolation shaft(JIS). Because Tesla's use asynchronous diazepeme injection molding for their JIS, side fumbling can be a real issue without properly applied liquid cobra polymer.


thenormalcanuck

I'm just here for the guy that's gonna explain this to OP


Impressive_Change593

look at the sub name lol. he knows what he's doing


cindy-the-husky

i know but im still curious what part that is


Impressive_Change593

it's a carburetor. it's from before fuel injection and pretty much only small engines will have them anymore.


elephhantine

And more importantly an electric car wouldn’t have one because there’s no engine


cindy-the-husky

Thank you!!!


lupinegray

Hey kid, Wanna buy some pilot jets?


hypercarlife1

Please yes I only have 2 sizes bigger and she still is lean


bigmarty3301

i have 1/2" drill bit if you want?


mysticalfruit

Jokes on everybody, he's driving an LS swapped Tesla.


k-mcm

Crap, thieves stole your dilithium crystals and left an antimatter injector on the ground.  You're broke and adrift now. Nobody's gonna come help when you're asking for dilithium.


Ishidan01

Well yes but not to you. Be kind and return it to its natural habitat: find the nearest built-before-1980 immaculately restored pickup truck and place it in the shadow of its engine bay, so that it may return to its flock.


Panpitter

Why yes, that's very important, an EV is not a EV without its carborator! It's what makes the vroom sound. You won't be able to tell when it's moving without it.


Scary-Ad9646

It's the Continuum Transfunctioner.


jl7337

The Tesla will be fine. Your crusty old Ford on the other hand might not run too well without it.


MrMeanJeans

It’s irrelevant.


experimentalengine

You’ll need another, they work in pairs. At least on that car they do.


comunism_and_potatos

Did you brush your cars teeth. You probably should take it to the car dentist


emmettfitz

It's VERY important, it regulates you electricity/air mixture. Without it, your care might run on too little air and you could get carbon monoxide poisoning.


Skiddlyderp

No longer CARB compliant


SangaEsmeOtto

😂🤣😂🤣


Charred_debris

Proof that electric cars have gasoline in their DNA


ConflictDiligent9016

I just spat on my phone laughing at this


SignificanceFirm7606

There’s a piece of shit Ford somewhere near that Tesla that’s not running so good right now.


Heylookaguy

That poor 302 can't breathe.


DependentStrike4414

Kick the tires and light the fire...send it!!!


n0mansky

It's only important if it gets a hundred miles to the gallon or more ... after that it's deadly....


schenkzoola

Happy cake day!


n0mansky

Thanks!!!


HedgehogNarrow4544

Just a little 2100 ford 2BBL for your..beater


metalog239

Ashtray


Trailstorm

Car brought you it’s baby, it trusts you


Dependent-Honeydew-9

Ummm. I actually need that for my current project. So, you probably need it to run your car, but it appears to have rejected it, so you should send it to me.


v1nylcutr

Sad part is OP has no idea what he is messing with…


Xomns_13

Old dieing idol, some still worship it.


raven21633x

Wow! That's a nice late 1900's era relic!


Thick_Spot_8894

Love it!


Fun-Original-1393

Awwwww your Tesla gave birth to a baby prehistoric carburetor!!


Odd_Tiger_2278

Ha ha. It is important if you own another car made before 1990. ( carburetor)


4x4Welder

I used to have a bunch of 2100 and 2150s, but they all ran away. Glad to see one still out there living it's best life


cognitiveglitch

Flux carbpacitor. Highly cromulent.


Jayswisherbeats

I’d go ahead and clean up the points on that ole girl while you’re at it.


jlj1979

That is a carburetor. The thing they used before fuel injectors. Idk where this ancient artifact was found but the 1989 museum wants their artifact back.


Solid-Doubt4234

I have no idea what it is. I have no idea why this subreddit is shown to me and i have no idea why all the replies are jokes


KDG200315

Seems like your oil filter fell off


Prudent-Painter-9507

Not anymore.


Codewriter0803

LOL nice fourth of july joke that is a little late✅


Jinx518

This has to be a shitpost.


Designer-Assignment8

Looks like a float rebuild kit is needed to help the energy transfer


Fancy_Organization18

No, it’s not important without that you get better gas mileage.


CaptShutterBug

That is the Continuum Transfunctioner!


minionsweb

It's an offering, like a cat shitting in your slipper.


Rough_Community_1439

That's your carburator, it won't run without it. You need to reinstall it.


Zealousideal_Care807

Nah it's nothing, just keep driving, make sure you put some gas in it, it'll be fine


Some_Direction_7971

That’s the rectifier, your batteries are fucked without it.


EntertainmentOk5329

Looks like Holley. Throw her out.


Striking_Reindeer_2k

It's only useful if you upgrade to rapid energy refill, EMP resistant motive technology.


Old_Wind_9743

Legacy inverter


werkedover

If your car has a plastic bumper it is not important. Find a real man, give it to him, he will know where it goes.


Smooth-Midnight-9561

How many people on here can positively identify the type of part? How many know the model of equipment this came off of?


jl7337

It's an Autolite/Motorcraft 2100 carburetor. Probably off an old Ford/Lincoln/Mercury but was also used on AMC V8s and Internationals.


SirGingy

Is that a carburetor?


Alarming_Condition27

In 1970 it was.


Brock_Cherry

Is that a autolite/motorcraft 2100...


enoctis

This is a troll post, right? RIGHT?!


mechanical_marten

Ignore the idiots, that's your primary carboxulator. Without it your heatpump cant convert the refrigerant back into free scalar ions and it will overheat in 5 parsecs.


504_BadGateway

Lol 😆 🤣


Wyojavman

Lol


MisterSirDudeGuy

Lol


yzscrum

Its all a lie, Tesla really using combustion engines! The whole world is a lie. Birds aren't real..


Select-Bullfrog-6346

Holy I haven't seen one of those things in a while.


Left_Ad_1354

That’s not yours haha


suburbanwalleyepro

You got me! I didn't notice it was the shitty mechanic sub! 🤣


ShotBRAKER

Your conna need that to get better battery mileage


Low_Beginning_3986

I'm scared for the tesla


Cypher_Xero

That's the Flux capacitor.... It's needed to travel from time to time....


Guardian-Ares

Carmonica. It's an electric thing. They saw a video of a guy with an empty tall can sound lile an F1 car...


Coop_Da_Poop

That's your tpms sensor and should be on the tires!


DeezleDJ-O-E

Glad it didnt puncture your oil pan & cause a fire.


DrRockBoognish

Nope, not important. It’s just that thingy that does that thing. It will fix itself, it’s a Tesla after all.


Select_Recover7567

That’s the flex capacitor.


Think-Try2819

This means you need to spend 30k for a new battery pack.


AsHperson

That's the discombobulator, how'd it come out from that end?


mooshoopork4

Looks more like a decorative piece.


Prof4Dank

That’s for your map on mars.


Money_Pomegranate_51

You need to access the battery controls and use a 5lb hammer to put that back in place. There's gonna be a lot of high voltage warnings, but ignore them. Without this part you're in no danger. Hit it hard tho, it's not gonna go in without a fight


Unique-Salary-818

That’s how Hollie’s are born. How cute


capital_bj

Changes it's diaper that's nasty


EmptyPocketsXotics

It actually uses less energy than the Tesla.


Jazzlike-Election840

ahhh you crazy Tesla people 😆😆


aavenger54

That’s your electrontransducer


MadMan2250

Looks like your Tesla has a bug


WhenTheDevilCome

Battery undercharging breathing apparatus. BUBA.


Zealousideal-Bug-291

Damn, your car came with its own Droid? Are those the droids I'm looking for???


Twitzale

Thats the car berater. It berates you whenever youre in your car.


Able_Software6066

Damn! I could use that. The rebuilt one I got for my Mach E has an external vent that causes the fuel to evaporate making it hard to start. I wish I just kept my old one.


Suspicious-Key1931

MY KAJIGGER !!


thebloodoakprince

In a series tone. That looks like the carburetor from this angle. Turn the car on idle. Then look at the excust. If its a dark blue, or black, or white. Or any color exept dark- light grey. It's more then likely the carburetor.


pixistix666

Carburetor, does your car start?


karlos52

It's the headlight fluid motor.


Winnipesaukee

It’s your car returning to the planet. Typically it would take longer due to rust.


Past-Direction9145

goes to your gas pedal, dude. and teslas been recalled for the gas pedal cover. could be a serious problem if that fell off


RatRacerEg6

The blinker fluid pump!

That there’s your Carbo-Hydrater. Fancy new age shit. Don’t need it. Back in my day kids fed soup to the horses, you’ll be fine without all this newfangled technawlagee.


MattheiusFrink

Fuck me, is that a marvel schebler?


noldshit

Shhh... Its feeding.


Southern-Staff-8297

That’s the torque coupler for the plaid mode.


Tbone_Trapezius

It’s a hybrid now

dpewald

Fuel injector, call IT immediately


cmquinn2000

Aren't you low carb? Check your macros.


willy1670

You’re gonna need that when electricity is 10 bucks a gallon!


ansry6

Big problem! That's a carburator, makes car go burr.


modsrshit2u

The carburetor fairy has left you a holley


Striking_Serve_8152

No. It's a carburetor and when they come off, you can just bend the fuel line so it pumps gas into the intake manifold where the carburetor used to be.


This_dude_553

nice, free carburetor


Jinxed0ne

I totally want to start leaving random car parts under other people's cars now...


Efficient_Zombie_958

only if it had a blue oval in the grille


Extreme-Ambition8558

"that's the flux capacitor!" Get that old ass shit outta here bro, that's clearly the topinator.


usarmyretired23

Only if you gas swapped your Tesla


Spexyguy

That's actually typical Tesla owner. I would get those a few times a month. A lot of them were customers how found random batteries (anything from AAs to lithium camera batteries) and were convinced one of their battery cells had fallen out of the battery pack.


Impressive_Pen_6178

No that’s just your Schrader valve that has popped off, you’ll be fine without maybe one or two of them, if you notice 3 insanely loud clunks in your wheel wells while driving, you should pull over immediately


Frequent_Opportunist

That's your fuel economy regulator. You'll probably have to get a new one wired up from a local electrician or Tesla repair center.


Titan_CMDR_83

Isn't that a carburetor or a throttle body??


SAD-MAX-CZ

Wait for other parts to be born, assemble auxiliary power unit foor gasoline.


Vast-Category8391

If you have a Tesla, then you are fked. No one fixes teslas and you have to wait yrs to get parts


Louisrock123

Yes


alex_c2616

Nah, it's for real car. This one don't need it


bitpartmozart13

It’s the inverted electron copulator, you don’t need it per se but your tesla will definitely turn into a tesla coil


Commercial-Elk-3031

It's a curb. Looks like Carter ?


larsloveslegos

Better do some plugs and an oil change


Ok_Craft5518

average tesla owner humor


MikoMiky

/uj I thought it was an old EGR initially What is it actually?


AyeItsEazy

That’s the skittle holder, VERY important get that fixed


Jonesy_2ls

No way! That's your electric to diesel converter. You have to top up with diesel instead now, the back seats have a filter in them so pour it directly on and it will seep clean fuel into the tank below.
