after two weeks and a slew of BMS messages that would come on and then go, get finally went into limp mode on Wednesday. Took the car to Tesla yesteday thinking based on the bms codes it was going to be the coolant heater. Nope there’s moisture in the LDU which was replaced 40,000 miles ago (about 2 years) now Tesla wants $8200 to repair it with a reman LDU. They said it would come with a 4 year 50K warranty. But it’s a tough pill to swallow on a 9 year old car that I feel like what will be next. (The HV was replaced a year and a half ago and it’s a 90kw pack)
Trying to decide what to do. Have it rebuilt for $5k but have to wait 3 months to get it in. Pay the $8200 to Tesla and pray nothing else goes wrong. Or scrap the car and see if I can sell it basically for the battery alone.
What have yall done. I know LDU failure is quite common unfortunately. (I’m currently waiting in tesla to let me know if the DU they want to put in there has the coolant delete so it won’t happen again. It’s a different part # than the one from two years ago. One in the car now ends in T and they want to put one in ending in U. (2014 P85D with software locked 90kw pack)
