Update: I trailered it to a shop and it was dead couldn't drive it off the trailer just tow mode only. He cleared the error and it turned on so it's an intermittent problem aka the ****ing worst kind of problem. Obviously something is wrong, but as to what who knows. He is gonna try and...

Yeah I got USAA towing but I don't know the distance limit

The guy I'm gonna take my car to is asking if you opened the packs as part of your process or if you just took straight 100 packs and put them in after getting them from wherever. I'm assuming you opened them up to check each module to verify everything was straight, but he's curious.

Had a guy look remotely at the car via toolbox, here is the gist of it. So the fault is indicating an open circuit in the hv system so we could be dealing with a broken wire bond. The voltage differential was 1.36 volts that’s pretty extreme. Without any other symptoms leading up to it and as...

I was leaning on the uhaul auto transport but **** it I can ask never thought of it

Both of them, haven't decided yet. They both have nearly identical pricing and when it comes to the distance it's also close enough to be the same. Leaning towards ponderosa though

I'm in contact with a shop that has an acceptable estimate. Still waiting to hear back from Tesla the longer the better because getting the car to the 3rd party shop is gonna be a logistical PITA, well more like annoyance due to the process of getting it moved. Working between family members on...

I dono they don't want anyone messing with the HV system I see it as very likely they would blacklist the car if they found out a 3rd party did HV work on it. Now if you could find some proof or something to that effect

Because I didn't know what was wrong with it and I was hoping it was another drive unit.

If they find out I had 057 do the pack upgrade they will very likely refuse to work on the car and mark it as a salvage and remove DC fast charging making the car useless. That is not a risk I am willing to take

do you know any competent shops in North CA? Tesla just called me and said they cant go back past 2019 with service records, but his GM might have access to the older records. i said it was prob done in like 17-18 while i was in NC. So when they cant find the invoice because it doesn't exist...

The $23k battery was a choice it wasn't required my stock 85 pack was in perfect health. But if I buy a new car I'll have to pay $100/yr for traffic and music (which is currently free) I'd have to pay for supercharger which is currently free and today k took my loaner to a SC and damn it woulda...

Because the new models don't have the features the old ones do

I got the air suspension so I got that going for me

Well… About a year or two ago I asked for the complete service history for my car. They said the records only go back 3 years and gave me those. Well not so much they only go back 3 years as to say they gave me everything they had and it stopped at 3 years. I spoke to the service manager at a...
