It worked for me. Model S 2012 MCU2 Thanks for the power tip

Its hard to read that....1500 for parts...labor possibly 200 and applicable tax maybe thats why she gave me the 1700 figure. I'll definitely find out tomorrow and see how long it will take.

The service women who helped sounded new. Thanks for the link, i will make sure they know this. Its difficult to see tesla do well in building the technology yet fall so far in customer service and accurate information.

I just called about my tesla S in for battery repair. The service agent at Van Nuys said $1700 plus labor if i decide to upgrade to newer unit. This new unit is discounted if i upgrade instead of warranty repair. Extra if i want satellite and radio.

Thanks for the info TSLA Pilot. I'll look into those options if no resolution is met. It is an expensive car and i accepted that this car would not last forver, but i gave it a good try. lol

My S, 8 years 215k battery finally went 3 days after warranty. Service center say escalated to corporate and response out of warranty. My cost for new battery $22,280.25. As an early adopter, I am at a loss of Tesla customer service. Tesla has let me down. I brought the car in for...

I'm going through battery issues now. It will be 8 years in Dec 24 with about 205,000. My MS 85 recently would only charge 1 mile per 15mins at a super charger. Tesla's lead tech and escalated to a engineer said everything is normal. This makes me wonder what the heck? Even giving...

I'm actually due for service soon. I just hate the not being able to talk to anyone at tesla now. Its even worse because the closest service center is 75 miles away from me and they want me to use uber credits. There customer service in the beginning was a 10 now its just 5. Its so...

It looks to fluctuate in the app. 207 one day 200 the next... Full range is 196 and i think realistic range is about 160. Granted, there are hills and lots of head winds on my commute. It was nice to go to Vegas and work without recharging, now i have to stop once for work charge 30 mins...

Sonus, We are planning to put 2 maybe 3 pw up have a pool and S. We left a deposit down and are now waiting for Tesla specialist to get back to us. How long did it take for you to get your system up?

Just an update for my 7 year 2 month MS. I have about 195000 miles on my S and max range charge is 197. I think I had a max range when I first got the car of 275 ish . It was only a few months ago it was 210. I hope my battery isn't tanking now.

We are actually in the process of potentially getting 3 power walls. I like the idea of having the 4th power wall pre wired. I live in the Antelope Valley (LA county) still waiting for the tesla rep to contact us. Are you off the grid and or sending back surplus back to the grid?

Just curious how many miles you had on your S before it went out? I'm at 190K and 8 years this dec and my full range is 209. It seems not to long before i have mine replaced.

Chilam Just wondering was your battery warrantied or did you buy a new one? My car will hit 8 years in Dec and its going downhill pretty fast @ 190K miles.

Just received a call from Tesla it looks like they think its the master charger which will cost $2400. Ouch!

Its a decision that Tesla makes with there software that hopefully benefits everyone. Good or bad i'm not enjoying the results older S are having. With a mileage of 180,000 my range currently is about 220 miles for range charge. Avg charge 2 hours with minimal to no ac / no one sharing...

@cduzz That's a good point about the on board chargers. I'm pretty sure they do go off when i first charge but i have to see how long the duration is. As far as the louvers, i just had them changed. I really havent looked if they open up. I will ask them at service center in Van Nuys...

Have you tried holding down the button on the trunk of your fob? That also opens the charge port door.

Greetings All Have my 85kw S for almost 6 years this coming December with about 180K miles. The only major issue i had was some sort of battery harness issue (expensive), another heating cooling issue covered by warranty, and now home charging failure. ( HPWC & Mobile Charger) Supercharger is...

Battery health is not part of annual checkups. They told me that it would cost i think $180 for that 1 incident check. Luckily they did check it for me good faith. I just want them to honor the lifetime mileage warranty if anything does go wrong. I have a little over 2 years left on my...

I have the Model S 85 2012 with 170,000. Max range charge is about 225. Just had my battery checked yesterday with service center and its running normally. I guess this is acceptable with the number of charge cycles. It will be 6 years on Dec. 24th. I had a loaner 75D, and that battery...

Update after service from center. I thought they would check they health of the battery as part of annual service, they don't. The service center replied they do not check the battery status at all unless you have an issue. Request HV battery check ( 269 miles upon purchase vs 220 miles...

My S is a 2012 and I have the red ring issue, but i can still charge. From my experience, if i get the red ring i always have to remove and reinsert it a second or third time for it to work. I thought it was because my charging port is dirty after 5 years. Makes me wonder if Telsa when i...

My daily commute is 150 miles with some incline @ 325 wh/mi. I did this for about 3-4 years before i found some other commuters. There were no super chargers back then on my commute, now there are 2 Mojave & Inyokern. I'm one of the road warriors so i have a lot of cycles on my batteries.

It appears i am the bottom of the charging spectrum. I wonder how many older cars had there battery replaced with the original warranty?

I'm hoping that my battery will be covered under the warranty. I'm sure they will run tests on my S and will report what they find out. My work commute is about 150 miles with some hills. I used to be able to make the trip in one charge, now i have to charge 15 mins. Antelope Valley to...

Have to agree with David, having an alternate backup NEMA 14-50 would be highly recommended. I had my hpw replaced 3 times wish i had one put in. Luckily i lived near a supercharger and i put one in my new house.

5 years later my max is 225 mi. Brand new my range was 276 ish. 166,000 mi currently.

After 5 years 16 days, my Model S has 166,206 mi 53,296.6 kWh @321 Wh/mi. Full range charge is 225 miles from original 276 miles. Anyone else have full range charge they can share?

My MS is approaching 93K and is currently in for servicing. Overall I had a positive experience with there service department having my car for almost 3 years. I made sure I purchased the extended warranty just in case anything happened, so up to 100k or 8 years. I'm glad I had that...

It looks like the station is indeed done. I looked up my supercharger maps and POOF its there. I'm going to try out the super charger station as soon as I head home. They probably wanted to make sure the stall issue was fixed before it opened.

Adj suspension max height I recently visited the super charger still no juice. I learned about the height distance the hard way backing in. Luckily I don't think there was any visible damage I adjusted to max height after hitting the stall head with standard height

I just made reservations at the Aria for June. I called and asked if they had any charging units available either j1772 or telsa hpwc (wishfull thinking). They transferred me to the valet and they said they have 4 14-50 nema outlets in the north valet (enter harmony street). They made it...

Dam! Right when i was just going to confirm my service plan.

I just had installed my 2nd meter and they put a 100 amp breaker in preparation for the hpwc. That same day when i went and plugged in my mc, which was incredibly hot, it stopped charging. Called sc and they couldnt figure out what was going on. We called Tesla service center and discovered...

My commute is 150miles round trip with 90% highway and 10% city. I just kick back and listen to XM and watch other cars slow down to see what car i'm driving. =) My wife steals my car during the weekend.

I have solar from SC and also got my MS in Dec. My experience is depending on how many miles you drive, you might be ok. I'm driving 150 miles for my daily commute. My usuage went up big time and pushed me to higher tier regardless of having solar. So for my situation, a separate meter was...

urghhhh i typed a reply and timed out. :crying: @strider Yeah my commute is long but its a simple drive no traffic and i just listen to XM. After calling solar\ev dept @ SCE, i determined that the second meter was the best option. We are currently on the D-SDP which is the domestic...

Its actually in the works right now. They are giving me a quote on setting up everything but it looks like its going to be EXPENSIVE. :scared: Regardless, i'm going to bite the bullet with gas prices hitting 4.19 for regular it will pay for itself later. I heard something about getting a...

@Daniel Scherer Just curious to see if you got your electric bill yet? My first month over 3200 miles with about 1000 -1100 kwh cost me about $310 in electricty. Since i'm in CA, i'm on that the more you use the more you pay... and i have solar too. The cost of charging pushed me into tier...

I too have this issue and called the experience team. Looks like they are replacing and awaiting for parts. Hopefully when they call me in i have my other items on the due bill.

hmmm the sites back up but no manuals under my reservation number =(

Ive also read all the negativity. Its pretty unreal that so many people have a dislike for electric vehicles. Its a great car and since tesla is a new company there are bound to be some bugs. I'm just hoping people will realize once the model S is a great car. Its one step closer to...

Anyone know if you get 2 fobs when you purchase the Model S. I'm pretty sure you probably do but not positive. I'm pretty sure those fobs are pretty expensive to replace. I'm considering using Liquipel on the fob but i'm wondering if that would void the warranty.

Oh...dont want that. I'll defintely order the Active Air Suspension then. I have to figure out what options i want now. Then having the agony of waiting til it arrives. Thanks for the quick response elsupreme.

Just got my email to finalize my order. Just in time too as gas in CA is reaching yet another high...paid 4.79 for regular gas. =/ My number is 7290. - - - Updated - - - I just had one question if anyone knows the answer. I was going to order the Active Air Suspension but i thought i...

Nice article from motrend driving the Model S to Vegas. Luckly for me i could charge up at barstow, eat and hopefully get full charge when i leave. I would be about 158 miles from Aria and hopefully go normal speed with AC on. Visiting Las Vegas in the Tesla Model S - Motor Trend

I would commute from work 75 miles 90mins one way 5 days a week except flex Fridays my wife gets the car. Planning trip to Vegas, luckily there is a charging station in Barstow. After the motor trend real world drive, might postpone until there are more charging stations.

Bad first post. I just got my slot 3pm on Sunday. P7290...i thought i wouldnt get in considering my number is so high.
