    Driver's seat stuck at rearmost position... Tesla SC wants $2,650 parts + $539 labor to replace entire seat base

    I just saw that you’re from Newport? Go to EV-fixme. He’s in your neighborhood

    Driver's seat stuck at rearmost position... Tesla SC wants $2,650 parts + $539 labor to replace entire seat base

    There’s an Auto Upholstry guy I used in San Diego that was very comfortable working with the Tesla seats. But if you needed to put in new equipment versus fixing it, there might be an issue with programming. You have EV – fix me in OC who could help out a lot with Programming and getting used...

    2012 Model S - what’s it worth

    The cost for repairs affect the resale value of the car.. the same thing happens for older BMW's and Mercedes (also the reason why Toyotas seem to hold their value - low chance of repairs, and parts easily available at reasonable cost)... So, a new battery would be 18k, new air suspension is...

    Leaking glue from screen behind steering wheel (leaking down from under the steering column)

    Completely wrong info from uninformed person^ MCU1 leaks and bubbles appears MCU2 gets yellow around the borders (ironically from the glue) that clears up w UV light (the fix from Tesla if you need it)

    Does FSD learn?

    my FSD car is uploading 300 gb per month... there is some learning underway, but I doubt it's at the level of the car vs the mothership

    Leaking glue from screen behind steering wheel (leaking down from under the steering column)

    yep, known issue. Best approach as noted is to upgrade to MCU2 which will make your car feel new from the inside with the snappy MCU. The upgrade requires both screens to be replaced (same price for upgrade), and your main screen will eventually leak anyways. This also addressed the EMMC...

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    This whole thing could have been handled so much better. Every car should have this flagged on internal notes when car goes into service. Why create more traffic to the service center just for a fuse when these cars are probably coming in for something else during a 12-24 month span. And...

    iPhone 15 pro “always on” as Tesla key advantage vs regular iPhone 15??

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    a lot of folks with 2016 batteries just got this message and have it covered under warranty... I have 2 such vehicles, but the forums notes many others.

    Sun Roof Glass replaced /different color ??

    yep.. early models have a rainbow, purple hue to the glass on top.. very pronounced with water on the glass. you've now got the best of both worlds!

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    Lots of folks getting the message in last couple of days. After getting over the annoyance, one has to appreciate that Tesla went ahead and let the message activate (pretty sure they could’ve controlled the message to come on later by software) a few months before the eight year battery...

    Should I buy used MX 2016 P90D Founder series with expired warranty?

    my bad.. lesson to self - don't try to memorize part numbers. It's the assembly only, not the HV battery as prev noted. Thank you for the correction
  16. gaswalla

    Should I buy used MX 2016 P90D Founder series with expired warranty?

    the invoice shows that the HV & the DU were replaced. The DU is the latest and greatest and the HV looks to the the 350v version of the 85/90kwh battery (not reman) which is based on modern 100kwh battery chemistry. If this car has Free Supercharging, I'd jump all over the deal.

    2012 Model S Signature Cars

    Your OG 2018 RWD probably is less than 5sec 0-60. It should be a tad faster than a stock 85 from 2012... But neither of these are "brutal" - for that you need to get into a performance version of any of these vehicles...

    Fix 2017 Model X suspension issues, or trade in for a new Y?

    As noted, the issues you are experiencing do not necessarily require Tesla for service (in contrast to sensors, the HV battery, the drive unit, etc..). Please get a couple of second opinions from shops that work on suspensions - it will probably require the Upper Control Arms immediately, and...

    2024 Model 3 (Highland)- Spoiler improves or reduces range?

    on the early Model S (2012/13), the same debate ended with multiple owners experiencing lower range with the spoiler. Good for looks and downward forces, but as noted earlier, if it increased range, Tesla would have put it there for base models

    Supercharger - San Diego, CA - The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch (permit, 12 V3 stalls)

    There are actually 10 stalls on the top level (see pic) and 2 stalls in disabled parking downstairs (see pic above). The supercharger cabinets are in place next to the transformer pad (see pic), and conduit to the two disabled spots is installed in the ceiling of the parking structure. Conduit...

    2017 X 100D. What is a degradation level that will trigger a battery replacement ?

    At some point, the battery malfunctions and Tesla will agree that your battery needs to be replaced. If its under warranty, you don't pay. If after warranty, you pay.

    used p100ds now are dirt cheap. What's going on?

    I feel like it's analogous to comparing a new BMW M3 to an older M5... if you love the M5, aint no way you're settling for the M3, even if it's new

    used p100ds now are dirt cheap. What's going on?

    The 2016 p100d will still smoke a new MYP

    used p100ds now are dirt cheap. What's going on?

    10k for a third party battery and you lose ludicrous, range, and general performance? that's for someone who is desperate. Maybe if they did it for labor only, less than 1k.

    2018 MCU upgrade 2.5>3, what does it enable?

    MCU is not the same as "HW"... this is a discussion about AP HW2 to HW3 (FSD capable)

    FSD now $8,000. Who's buying?

    I have a 2018 that now has the option for $2k. If Tesla had done a better job managing vehicle values, I’d consider. But, to put in $2k into a car that is worth 10-14k is lame. And after they take everyone’s money, Tesla will abandon HW3 and focus on HW4. No thank you

    The ultimate demand lever and consumer confidence booster?

    2018 Model S purchased with FSD

    you're all set! no one knows the exact answer to any of those questions, not even Elon. His stated goal is to be able to make your car (and mind) into an autonomous robotaxi. Most would say it's not possible with the hardware though

It looks like the original construction noted is for the transformer and now a space for cabinets has...

    Will legacy ever see V12?

    it really all makes sense (now)... the goal was to push out a free trial asap to folks that may continue on with a subscription and hence raise revenue while vehicle sales are soft. Getting this out to legacy cars doesn't bring in revenue since folks have already paid and folks who haven't paid...

    You’ve done your research by using an expert to confirm its a unicorn. I think you’re in good shape. I would just have a professional chrome delete because honestly the difference is probably $1000, and to see an amateur chrome delete every day would drive me crazy. Please let us all know how...
