    Model S 85 - loosing remote access until reset

    Ah, I'm not using teslafi w/ hardware. Rather their subscription and access through a access token. For testing purposes I've reset my tesla account password thus invalidating any access token including the teslafi access, as expected to no avail (as mentioned in my original post in the PS). To...

    Model S 85 - loosing remote access until reset

    @Droschke Thanks for pointing to it, changed in the quote from "was" to "is" - hope it makes now sense. (Since I can't edit my original post :( )

    Model S 85 - loosing remote access until reset

    Hey! My June 2015 build Model S 85 w/ >280000km recently needed a new 12V battery. In parallel I've started using teslafi. Before the 12V change I've noticed a rather high standby loss and the car was basically unable to "go to sleep". Also the "12V battery needs replacement" message came more...

    Vendor Tesla Model S Battery Extended Service Plans from 057 Technology

    Hi! That is great news, thanks for sharing, especially looking forward to the actual pricing and ordering it! Created an account during promo phase in hope of a service like that! Having a 2015-11 S85 with 270000km in Germany, still under warranty. :) BR Oaito.

    Vendor Tesla Model S Battery Extended Service Plans from 057 Technology

    Yeah, Germany or EU ;) Btw @wk057 I faintly recall that you were looking into international shipping and encountered relative lower costs than inside US thus talked about a possible extension of your services into the EU. Anything on that from your end? Or perhaps expanding your core business...

    Sell 2014 Model S before 8 Year warranty expires?

    Hi! I've ran into a similar problem when asking to replace the 12V for my '15 S85. Also They initially said I could not simply buy the battery, I would have to give the old, otherwise a 50% deposit of the price would put on top. I did not bother to try again, recently I ordered a 12V AGM...

    Rear trunk won't open

    This price is with tax? Lucky you :) The first and second time it failed, it was under warranty. All the tips in this forum helped me to open the trunk again without the SeC and even order the actuator for ~75USD including shipping/taxes from MB, replaced myself. In order to reduce wear of...

    Hi! For the last couple of months I was able to close it with a door open. Recently it stopped fully locking. Today I've disassembled and changed the actuator, assembled everything and it did not work. Disassembling again, after a close look at all the parts I've found the issue: The Bowden...

    Maximum battery charge level reduced

    Hi! From all I've read and saw so far I personally belive it to be highly unlikely that there are still "new" and matched cells around to be build into old frames. Just as a reminder, the 85 battery pack consists out of 7104 single cylindrical cells. 74 cells put in parallel are called a brick...

    Here in Europe are some "3d party" companies whom provided e.g. emmc repairs, some of them do perform software downgrades themselves or have business relations to someone capable. Alas, IMHO you need to keep in mind: AFAIK Tesla designed the firmware update process to either install a newer...

    AFAIK you are the first one (I've had read from), whom actually got a reimbursement at all. I would also be quite disappointed in this result! $320 are the cost of the current repair, is it not?

    Hi! The only entries I can find there are related to "Idle Fee", no other charging session since I've purchased my S 85 in November 2015 from Tesla with FUSC. Maybe this is related to the region? Over the course of my usage I looked into the "History" some times, just to be sure not to miss...
