And could this crunch be something else? I’ve heard something about axle splines needing grease on these cars. This time around the crunch is only present at around 20 mph if I press the pedal or regen. Off a stop there is no noise:

Kind of a bad update, I’ve had my reman DU in for a week at this point. And the drive unit crunch is back :( It’s very faint and it’s not anywhere near as bad as it used to be. Should I take it back to Tesla service?

Appreciate it! It is indeed Dolphin Grey pretty rare color in terms of Tesla since I think it was only on the OG Model S’s.

What’s your mileage on the current battery you have and has it ever been changed. At this point I drive a new car my battery pack was replaced in 2022 and now my drive unit was replaced last week. The car drives great with the new drive unit. I love this car too much, it’s everything I’d want in...

On a side note Tesla is very quick on repairs. I took the car in on Friday, and they’ll be done on Monday! Sucks I couldn’t get a loaner or Uber credits.

I guess since it was never replaced out of warranty tesla owns the part, I could’ve sold it for some 🤑 but I guess it’s fine.

Yeah this service center I went to was messing with me, first they put just the drive unit then they took it off which made me think I’m getting a good deal. Anyways I approved the actual estimate today. Pretty damn expensive, went the reman route. But they were feeling nice and took off the 255...

Question, Tesla just randomly made changes to the invoice. The drive unit is missing and they want me to approve this now? Is this a mistake on their end?

I guess tesla was feeling a bit nice? I got quoted just at the 5,000 dollar mark for a reman U model DU, I’m going to go ahead with the replacement, the fact that I am going to receive a 4yr/50k warranty as well with the replacement makes it a great choice to go ahead with the replacement. I’ll...

I went to Tesla Service today, my car is still on its original drive unit it took approximately 104,000 miles and 11 years for it to start milling. Assuming your drive unit was replaced the Model T DU you are still prone to the coolant leakage issue. The new Model U as said in this forum has the...

Welp, update… I heard the milling noise few days ago and today I woke up to head to work and received the Vehicle May Not Restart warning. Guess I’m an unlucky one, car is going into service on the 12th hopefully the DU is no more than 6k. I’ll update you on what happens, also no I’ve never had...

I’m in your same boat, 2013 Model S 60 with a replaced 85 kwh battery. Heard the milling sound in the same way as you, my music volume was low and I heard the whine. To be quite frank I have no plans of changing the DU until it takes a SH*T. I spoke with an ex Tesla tech, he’s actually worked on...

Yesterday was the first time I charged the car to 100% and I only received 208 miles which makes me think you are correct the vehicle is indeed software locked. I know this does not change anything but the car is also upgraded to MCU2. I’ve read on forums where you are able to pay Tesla to...

Sorry to barge in, but I just took my chances and bought a 2013 Tesla Model S 60kwh. I checked my battery serial number and if I’m correct this battery was replaced in 2022? Also mine is a 60 and it got replaced with a 85 will I receive the performance gain or no I’m asking this part of the...
