Early Tesla Model S vehicles use a high-voltage electric air-conditioning compressor instead of a belt-driven unit since there is no engine in a Telsa. Mounted low in the front subframe, this sealed DENSO ES34C compressor circulates R134a refrigerant for both cabin cooling and the thermal management loop.
When it fails, the car can lose cabin A/C, battery cooling capacity, or log HVAC fault codes.
The part offered here is the correct OEM-style electric A/C compressor for 2012–2015 Model S, Tesla part number 6007380-00-D (superseding earlier 6007380-00-x revisions). It is based on the DENSO ES34C platform, cross-referenced with OEM numbers such as 042200-0691, and is a direct bolt-in replacement for early RWD cars.
