Tesla Roadster

HVAC Drier

Receiver Drier โ€” HVAC Cooling Circuit – Series 2.X

Fits Tesla Roadster 2.X (approx. 2010โ€“2012) โ€ข HVAC receiver drier with sight glass

This receiver drier assembly is the non-serviceable canister mounted in the high-pressure A/C line below and to the right of the 400 V controller. It filters, stores, and dries the refrigerant charge after the condenser, and its built-in sight glass helps diagnose charge and flow issues.

Why these fail
  • Moisture after a leak โ€” Once the system has been open, the desiccant becomes saturated and can no longer protect the compressor and TXV.
  • Debris contamination โ€” Compressor wear or hose breakdown loads the drier with particles, restricting flow.
  • Age and corrosion โ€” Years of heat cycling can corrode the shell and fittings, risking leaks at the crimp or ports.
  • Improper re-use โ€” Re-using an old drier after major A/C repairs invites repeat failures and poor cooling performance.

Our solution
  • Correct Tesla-specific receiver drier for Roadster V2.X HVAC layout, with integrated sight glass.
  • Clean, dry, sealed unit โ€” stored capped to keep moisture out until installation.
  • Direct-fit ports and brackets โ€” no cutting or adapting of lines on the vehicle.
  • Optional seal kit โ€” fresh O-rings and hardware available to complete the repair properly.
