I'm not sure about your plan, but I believe the best course of action would be to charge to 100%... it may take hours though at the top end to go from 98% to 100%. The reason is that a full charge will allow the BMS to appropriately calibrate... and going 0% to 100% is probably the best way to...

This is a fascinating thread. Appreciate the OPs ongoing updates

I just saw that you’re from Newport? Go to EV-fixme. He’s in your neighborhood

There’s an Auto Upholstry guy I used in San Diego that was very comfortable working with the Tesla seats. But if you needed to put in new equipment versus fixing it, there might be an issue with programming. You have EV – fix me in OC who could help out a lot with Programming and getting used...

has anyone been invited to attend in person (I did sign up last month to be considered from my Tesla account)

The cost for repairs affect the resale value of the car.. the same thing happens for older BMW's and Mercedes (also the reason why Toyotas seem to hold their value - low chance of repairs, and parts easily available at reasonable cost)... So, a new battery would be 18k, new air suspension is...

as the Prez says, "Don't"

Completely wrong info from uninformed person^ MCU1 leaks and bubbles appears MCU2 gets yellow around the borders (ironically from the glue) that clears up w UV light (the fix from Tesla if you need it)

my FSD car is uploading 300 gb per month... there is some learning underway, but I doubt it's at the level of the car vs the mothership

yep, known issue. Best approach as noted is to upgrade to MCU2 which will make your car feel new from the inside with the snappy MCU. The upgrade requires both screens to be replaced (same price for upgrade), and your main screen will eventually leak anyways. This also addressed the EMMC...

can confirm that work in ongoing - conduits complete, signage going up. Seems like we're at the transformer wait stage

This whole thing could have been handled so much better. Every car should have this flagged on internal notes when car goes into service. Why create more traffic to the service center just for a fuse when these cars are probably coming in for something else during a 12-24 month span. And...

2015 cars definitely didn’t have Bluetooth key function

a lot of folks with 2016 batteries just got this message and have it covered under warranty... I have 2 such vehicles, but the forums notes many others.

yep.. early models have a rainbow, purple hue to the glass on top.. very pronounced with water on the glass. you've now got the best of both worlds!
