There is nothing to diagnose. A quick visual will confirm you have the faulty clevis mount which is enough to warrant the full correction code.Their reply was they didn't diagnose it so it doesn't apply. Ok so I'm going to pay a diag fee for something I already know
So what happens to the car long term without correction?There is nothing to diagnose. A quick visual will confirm you have the faulty clevis mount which is enough to warrant the full correction code.
You just can't accelerate at 100% from rest, or above 90% when cold, or up inclines, at lower speeds, otherwise you get the shudder. For me, even on the low setting.So what happens to the car long term without correction?
That's pretty much all replaced during the corrective service, for tree fiddy (IF the SC is competent enough to use the correct billing code).You just can't accelerate at 100% from rest, or above 90% when cold, or up inclines, at lower speeds, otherwise you get the shudder. For me, even on the low setting.
If I drive on standard or high, then I probably can't even do 80% of full acceleration. (don't do it, so don't know)
Knowing this, I avoid these situations because it will only get worse, that is the wear on the splines, cv joints, and the output shaft seal getting damaged and leaking. So my car should be "normal" for the long term. Service centres are correct in stating that it is not a safety issue, more an annoyance.
However, I don't think there is anyone who has put their car on high setting, and repeatedly gunned it from a standstill, feeling the shudder, several hundred times, to see if they can cause the cv joint or halfshaft to fail catastrophically. But if I was still under warranty... (?)
Not that I've read.Any risk of damage to the front drive unit, other than the seals?
Does it only apply to cars that are still under Tesla warranty?? My MS100D was repaired for this condition while it was still under warranty, but that repair did not last very long. I'm out of warranty now and the condition is still there.Applies to dual motor S&X 2014-2020 although many 2020 are already good.
thanks for the picIf you haven't checked out the updated service procedure for the clevis remove/replace, it is quite the spectacle! There are 124 steps listed! wow. It is so explicit I am surprised the first few points aren't describing how to use a wrench many of the steps are "use brake cleaner to clean area" and "push this button on the hoist to raise vehicle" .It seems to be written for anyone who has never wrenched!
but wanted to post a picture of the updated vs. the old clevis mount. Looks a little more robust, doesn't it? Some engineer has definitely put some effort in trying to fix the issue.

That picture is right out of the service manual. So no.thanks for the pic
any chance u have a side view to see the bushing difference?
What was the additional expense and what did they change? When mine was in for the $350 fix, they wanted to replace the two lower arms on both sides and quoted $2200. That may have included the $350.Decided to let the service centre give me all new bushings in the front end
Along with the new halfshafts of course.

Fore and aft links, upper control arms, stabilizer bar links, and tie rod ends, plus alignment which is $284 now apparently ($148 last year) total was $4000 CDN.What was the additional expense and what did they change?

I looked back and you posted that you just got new halfshafts, but no clevis replacement?quick update - the Shudder is back on my car. It's colder out, and had to do a quick acceleration to merge with traffic and I clearly heard it. Not as bad as it used to be yet, but it's not the permanent fix I was hoping for.
Unfortunately, based on this invoice, you paid too much and didn't even get the fix. Take it back and have it fixed again along with a refund of the overpayment.

I just set up an appointment for 11/29 (first available). So it means the car will probably go in February lol... I pointed out the overpayment, the issue is back, and the clevis mount not replaced along with the expectation that this should be corrected under warranty. We'll see what they say.Unfortunately, based on this invoice, you paid too much and didn't even get the fix. Take it back and have it fixed again along with a refund of the overpayment.
