I didn't take any pictures when I replaced my digitizer over the weekend, sadly, but my goo became a massive puddle. I'd estimate 3 tablespoons. It was all hidden above the cubby but below the screen (behind/on the cubby shelf).does the screen/digitizer still work when this problem occur? (will it ever stop working) other than the goo issue?
1700, including the IC (for tinkering). So kind of a wash vs Tesla doing it, but now I have an additional MCU to resell/play with.I think eventually it will stop registering touch input. How much did you end up snagging the salvage MCU for?
Good to see the cost coming down. Still concerning that such an important part of the vehicle (that is clearly not related to miles driven) is failing in a predictable pattern before 4 years. Lets hope they have improved on the design since our early builds. I haven't scheduled my replacement yet since 5mos in and though the size of the bubble defect has expanded, the screen still works and so far the goo has not leaked out. I guess I'm waiting for some other problem to crop up (or goo flow) before I bring it in for service.
I'd be surprised if a late 2014 has any issues with the screen, but who knows. Screen alone is worth the warranty in my opinion. Toss a door handle in there and you're golden.
Out of warranty I assume? Be aggressive with them on two things, in my opinion. 1.) This is a mfg defect 2.) How long/whats the cost for just the screen replacement? That feels more like a quote for the MCU replacement w/ core charge.I've got a P85 vin 35xx in inventory now that also has the delamination issue around the top edge of the screen. The service center is quoting me $1234 +tax for replacement.
Part cost for my repair was $ 983
I requested goodwill due to a sense (on my part) that this was not a milage-related part/failure and possibly a manufacturing defect. They agreed to waive the labor cost. I am aware of another owner getting a better deal than that but I didn't feel like escalating it further.
Repair was:
ASY,MCU SUB-ASSY SHP GG DISP AND 1 PKG (1089542-00-A)
I replaced mine out of warranty for right at $1k. I have 93k on the odometer and my out of pockets in 8k miles was this, windshield and tpms sensors. TPMS was the only surprise as I bought the car with the other known issues.So, has anyone got this replaced out of warranty for $985 + tax + labor?
I'm trying to compile some repair information for when I make the call on if I'm going to spring for the extended warranty or self insure any maintenance by putting $4k aside.
Some people appear to report a lot of trouble free miles, and some people have apparently accumulated a pretty staggering amount of repairs.
This will make it that much harder to decide if the $4k to extend the warranty for another 50k miles is going to be worth it, especially considering the $200 per item deductible.
View attachment 219775 View attachment 219776 Bubbles appeared a few days ago, see photo. SC willing to replace at part cost only (no labor charge). Total will be $1000+ after tax, etc. 2013, VIN 0067## with 69k Miles.
Does anyone have definitive knowledge if there has been a design or manufacturing improvement that will allow replacements to last longer? If not, I'll wait awhile to replace. If the root cause has been addressed, I'll replace now.
As for the issue of thermal cycling, it's not an excuse or the cause. It is merely the environment this device should have clearly been designed to withstand. Especially considering the sales projections and results have shown this to launch in high volume in California. Inland and Southern Cal have some of the widest daily temperature swings and highest temperatures of any climate. The engineers would have designed and tested for this. So it's a reliability failure. A design or manufacturing defect. There will be some of those in a new model.
Comparing this to a legacy BMW platform is unrealistic. We all knew this HUGE display was a bold statement and risk. The media went berserk over it, remember? Why was it such a deal? Because it's really really hard to do in the environment of an automobile! A screen like that your office is a completely different situation. This is a very difficult engineering problem.
Those of us who jumped-in early expected there would be lessons to learn. We are grateful that Tesla covered most of the learning. But now it looks like I'll have to spend $1k on the display that I'd rather use for other things. How do I feel now? Am I still "all-in" on this early adopter journey? Is it "fair". Should Tesla cover this? Should they take funds from further advancing the technology and EV field to give us new displays? Should I have to pay to replace a bleeding-edge technology component that did not last as long as I expected because of a design or manufacturing weakness that was unknown at first?
No clear answers here folks. I'm willing to pay for a component that has longer life. I'm O,K, to pay $1k+ every few years for tires. I'm uncomfortable paying $1k every few years for a display. Hopefully the cause has been addressed and this will all go away once the early units are purged though.
