    Mystery to Solve! Temp and Parking Sensor Failure after heavy rain or car wash...

    Sadly, I didn't get to know what was at fault (cable or connector). It was just swapped out to cater for any failure associated with the harness.

    Mystery to Solve! Temp and Parking Sensor Failure after heavy rain or car wash...

    48 hours later and the car is working 100%. External temperature reading and stable/ correct. All autopark functions working as designed. I'm very confident that it was entirely due to this wiring harness. Huge thanks to the service team at Winchester, UK

    Mystery to Solve! Temp and Parking Sensor Failure after heavy rain or car wash...

    The part number was: ASY,HRN, MDLS, ALL, BUMP FR, DA01 (1004420-04-T) The cost was £160 including all tax for the part. £100 for the labour. They had to take the front facia off but no further details for the location of the harness.

    Mystery to Solve! Temp and Parking Sensor Failure after heavy rain or car wash...

    I have been to the Winchester service centre today and have had my car repaired. The temperature sensor is now working and correct, the autopark warned is off and the function is working well. I am pleased report that the car is back to full function again! The technician notes: Removed front...

    Mystery to Solve! Temp and Parking Sensor Failure after heavy rain or car wash...

    I have been back to the Winchester (UK) branch for an update on getting the car in for the service department to try and resolve the symptoms. Sadly they are declining to have the car, reporting that they are waiting for their technician to get a diagnosis from the symptoms first. This is now...

    Mystery to Solve! Temp and Parking Sensor Failure after heavy rain or car wash...

    FMinMI, I live in the UK and drive the same age S75D. I developed the same exterior temperature gauge readings/ failure along side the Parking assist unavailable in exactly the way you described it about 2 months ago. It was sporadic to start with and is now a definitive "---" and "parking...

    Where is my new DAB radio?

    In my Model S I have recently had the MCU2, HW3 and new DAB radio upgrade yesterday but trying to find where to access the radio is defeating me. I have "phone" "caraoke " "TuneIn" "Spotify" and "USB" displayed in the music bar but nothing about the DAB radio which has cost me £400 for the...

    Mileage collapse

    I have a S75D which used to give a reliable 200 miles of usable range after 100% charge. I drive in an ordinary way with no heavy acceleration but in the same way always have the heating/AC on. In winter my efficiency was around 350 and in summer closer to 320. Only on a long motorway summer...

    V9 in the UK - 2018.42.2

    Don't panic. I'm still on V8 and I believe there are a silence majority of us still happily driving around without V9. However last version of V8 has been rather bug filled with my car. Lots of reboots per month necessary... I will look forward to my V9 when the time comes but no rush at the...

    Wiki UK and Ireland Supercharger Site News

    Attended the Havant (Portsmouth) supercharger location today. Still not on the car's navigation and took a bit of driving around to find. Barrier on exit but opened without issue to let me out. 4 machines still bagged (see photo) but other 4 working well. Not much to do while charging. A 10 mins...

    Uncorking 75Ds in the UK

    A fresh new start... Booked in to Brooklands service centre to see the "raising star" Kitty (who I new from early days at Gatwick). She has checked my "logs" and says that I am uncorkable. So I am going along for my annual service and uncorking in the next couple of weeks. I might even ask her...

    Uncorking 75Ds in the UK

    When I spoke to Julian yesterday (reminder of the appointment) he was dismissive of the uncorking and only focused on the warranty work on the door rattle. I expressed my primary reason for attending was the uncorking and response was "yea, yea". When I arrived at 8am, Ben wasn't there, only a...

    Uncorking 75Ds in the UK

    Sad visit to Gatwick service centre today. It was booked in for physical examination and uncork. On ringing to check the progress Julian reported that he "had checked the list" and I was ineligible and thus he could not uncork my 75D (Vin 171xxx Jan 2017). I collected my car (also in for a...

    Uncorking 75Ds in the UK

    Had a great chat with the overworked Service Department at Gatwick today. I am pleased to report that they are happy to see me for a physical examination of the car to assess for a potential uncorking. So although this is not a guaranteed yes, it is a world on from the blanket no from 3 weeks...

    Uncorking 75Ds in the UK

    Sadly no news for our UK/EU cars. No reasonable answer as to why either, just the usual BS/party line about eligibility I don't know what else I can do other than pester Gatwick SC and Tesla escalations. It is a real pity and I feel let down. However it is Tesla HQs gift to offer it and we are...
