Had the same error. Brought a car to Tesla SC. They carried out 4 loop stress test HV battery heating cooling system. The BMS error pop-up within the second loop. Replaced AC compressor. The error resolved.

Thanx a lot. The bolts were changed 2 years ago under the recall. I’ve never tested the steering rack in this way before and after the replacement of the bolts. Just tried to clean a leather on the steering wheel few days ago and came this sound. So it is important to understand whether it’s...

Thank you. The car was repaired under the recall where the steering rack bolts had been replaced accordingly.

Thank you very much! The car is still under the warranty. What makes me concerned, that this kicking noise was easily reproduced on several Model X vehicles (four of them). Each tested Model X 2016-2017 had this kicking noise. Is it a coincidence or this is the old steering rack engineering...

Hi! The kicking noise comes from a steering rack on Model X 2016-2017 when a steering wheel is moved back and forth abruptly. The conditions: 1. A vehicle is in a parking mode or is powered off. 2. Come to a vehicle 3. Open a door 4. Start moving a steering rack back and forth abruptly: 5...

Definitely. In my case, the noise was solved, but came back right after 300 miles. I heard the same noise on Model Y (2022) while the one had been parking. Made an appointment and gonna have them replaced again.

2016. Replaced front driveshafts, the noise has gone.

Well, you can’t test in that way. It’s incorrect. You can only test EPA range by driving the car from fully charge state down to 1-2%. Otherwise, the car should be connected to the toolbox.

Hi! We had a slight front vibration during acceleration. Brought to SC, replaced front driveshafts. Problem was fixed. After 8 month, appeared new noise from the front driveshafts: Brought to SC, replaced front driveshafts with updated version. Noise was fixed. After another 8 months, appeared...

Alignment is perfect! The one is carried out each six month or 5k miles whichever comes first, ‘cause all season tires are fitted. So far has been covered 42k miles on this set of tires . Tires tread depths is even and the residual is 7/32.

Hi! There is a kind of humming noise in the rear engine at a speed of 56mph while an accelerator is engaged only. When the one is disengaged, the humming noise disappears. Tested by officials in different places: 1. In the first place technicians tested a rear drive unit. The result: the one is...

I would make battery and drivetrain inspection at a third party first. This will give assurance whether there are some preventive actions to be taken: like drivetrain seal and so on. If there are any findings based on inspection would report to Tesla to fix them. Otherwise, if a range isn't...

Have been carrying out assessment. Should be possible without any Frankensteinment. The idea is to simplify the process: 1. Upgrade to AP2.0 2. Get approval from Tesla 3. Upgrade to AP3.0

Very much appreciated! This is really valuable information. Based on this information upgrade from AP1 to AP3 on Model X is possible, considering the fact MCU2 is already installed! Only left to sort out the question regarding software with Tesla.

Best write-up ever! Please advise whether front radar Bosch stayed unchanged to Continental when upgraded to AP3.0?
