I just backed up on car ramps.

I'd recommend inspecting your speed sensor for coolant independently and then report to Tesla according. Tesla could also inspect but will likely charge you. It's really easy to check yourself.

I am a 2012 P85 owner that recently proactively replaced my rear drive unit (RDU)/large drive unit (LDU) with the new - released in the Fall of 2023 -Tesla "U" version seal manifold delete/coolant delete. Proactively replacing RDU/LDU Although I opted for a new (not reman) Tesla replacement...

Tesla also offers the U version for out of warranty owners. Here's mine.

Also, remember that if you currently have a coolant leak, simply slapping on an aftermarket coolant delete product will not solve any existing coolant leak issue. Any existing coolant leak will need to be mitigated. especially if coolant has reached the inverter.

QC Charge is also in Portland. One of Tony's employees, Alex Bessinger, just opened up a franchise in Portland. Tell Alex I said hi.

I proactively replaced mine with Tesla's new version. Proactively replacing RDU/LDU I'm aware many folks are adverse to the $6k for the new (not reman) U version, but to me, if you were comparing to ICE vehicle, I got a new motor and transmission. Further, after getting 3rd party estimates...

1. Unknown. Tesla hasn't said anything. 2. In the Fall of 2023 is when Tesla started introducing the U seal manifold delete version which superceded the T version. Pic is my recent proactive replacement. 3. Yes. 4. Sadly, the coolant leak is an issue from day one. Tesla's LDU is the same LDU as...

$1k, to a friend, an admitted under market sell. I had offers up to $3k. A non Tesla alerted RDU is a hot commodity in the 3rd party world.

You're right. However if coolant has made it's way to the inverter, then that needs to be resolved before slapping on these aftermarket coolant delete products.

See your in Boise. I'm not aware of anyone there that would perform a coolant delete installation. I know there are myriad different types of coolant delete device vendors now. Seems to be a new revenue stream. If you want to stay local there may be a 3rd party Tesla Profesional there that...

Do you mean another company that installs a coolant delete device or sells said device? Also, if you already have coolant in your speed sensor then simply slapping on the coolant delete device will not fix the existing leak. You still would need to address the source of the leak. In my...

You're right. That why I said "could have". What does "factory spec" exactly mean? Does Tesla actually publish reman pack factory specs? Thanks.

Recell has had many satisfied customers. Just like if you got a reman pack from Tesla, any reman pack's performance is a crapshoot. Remember you're getting a pack that could have batteries, hardware, etc that are 10 years old. The only one's making new replacement packs are Tesla. Those packs...

To address your question on what Tesla would do - I know of two cases where Tesla sold 60 owners 85 packs for $15k reman and $20k new. Then that pack would be corked to 60. If owner wanted to uncork, Tesla charges $750/5 kWh.

The 3 previous quarterly FUSC transfer offers did not require one to be the original owner. That's not to say any future offers would. Tesla call the shots.

I opted to proactively replace my LDU with the Tesla U version. Was fortunate to keep old LDU. Proactively replacing RDU/LDU

@Recell

The flyover tube does carry coolant. My only knowledgeable recommendation is what I paid Tesla $6k recently for - new U version coolant bypass that still has the flyover tube. $6k is about what a 3rd party will charge for rebuilt LDU with their version of coolant delete. Tesla gives 4 year/50k...

Main concern I would have is elimination of flyover tube causing air pocket in gear box. There's a reason Tesla kept the flyover tube in the U version I recently had installed.

Hmm. Where do you get possible salvage auction sale?

What makes you think 057 is back in business?

@airborne spoon how's the fix going?

Thanks for the update. I've linked your story to the folks here for their benefit BSM_u029/BMS_u018

@Recell @wk057 FYI

Remember that you are currently past 8 years, there is no warranty on the replacement Tesla just installed. Also, did Tesla replace with a reman or new?

You could ask Tesla to check out and unless there are any alerts, you'll be charged a disagnostics fee. Even, then there's no guarantees you'll have any out of warranty issue. It's a crap shoot.

Cost?

2012 P85 here. I got my 029 alert 3 days after purchasing the car from original owner in Oct 2022 for $27k USD. I ordered reman from Tesla for $13.5k+$390 labor + tax=approx $15k. 3 weeks later NEW 90 kWh replacement pack arrived. Tesla honored $15k quote. So saved about $5k. 90kwh corked to...

Your 029/018 alert solution will likely depend on what you want to do with your car and your personal finances. My advice, and I'm just one person, is based on personally talking with hundreds of folks and my own experience. I don't profess to be the expert - (1) If you love the car and want to...

$10k USD - That seems to be the current market rate for an 85 kWh used/reman/salvage replacement pack that gives the owner a rated range of around 240 miles. Just the pack. Any applicable labor, taxes, and warranty (explained below) are extra. $10k includes Tesla, 3rd party professionals and...

I had to replace mine in 2022 and started a support Group. These FAQs I put together will help BMS_u029/018 FAQs

Which design? The current Tesla "U" seal manifold delete aka coolant delete was introduced last Fall.

Thanks for the post. Both Jordan and Paul are valued members of this Facebook Group BSM_u029/BMS_u018

Considering worldwide BEV demand softening and lower than expected 2024 Q1 Tesla deliveries (despite many demand levers). Further, today's announcement of 10% reduction in Tesla workforce. And today's dual departure of two high level executives (8 year Rohan Patel and 16 year Drew Baglino)...

I read tl22 as Dec 2022.

The battery pack label should answer all you questions regarding which size pack. How to read pack label

@islandbayy FYI

As far as the car having a 75 replaced under warranty by Tesla for a 90 car, that is odd. Could be only thing Tesla had available at the time. Could be mistake by Tesla (I'm aware of 2-3 pack replacement size mistakes by Tesla). Do both dashes display 75 or 90? What does pack label say? Does...

Recommend you join and ask in this Facebook Group. BMS_u029/BMS_u018 (BMS_OhSh1t)

Aren't you still under warranty?

I recently proactively replaced my LDU in my 2012 P85. Proactively replacing RDU/LDU If you got the $5200 quote then that's for a reman. I paid the extra $800 and got a new one. Comparing to a gas car, the way I looked at it I got a 2023 new motor and transmission for $6k. That's a bargain...

Some folks I've talked to have negotiated free one way shipping to the shop. You have to arrange taking it back home. Worth asking...

Which shop?

For my 2012 P85. Tesla would not install a 100, only the 90 (corked to 85) that I have. I asked for a 100 but was only offered my current 90/85. However, a 3rd party (like what 057Tech did) might install a 100. There would be no reason to cork to less than 100 unless owner wanted to. Here's...

Then why did you take it to Tesla in the first place? Instead of first seeking 3rd party options? Either way Micah will likely answer the phone at EV Republics and James will certainly be your main contact at Ponderosa.

Disappointed that you continue to be dishonest with Tesla. What do you have to fear from them?
