    Intermittent Charging Stopping

    Addendum: Tesla finally found the part...NOT! We now have a proper (i.e. legally acceptable in California) estimate which itemizes the parts and labor. The estimate lists two parts , #1005612-00-C, and #1026041-99-J, which can be found online at various sites, with pictures of the parts...

    Our 2015 S 85D is intermittently having the GPS mis-fire, its manifestation usually displayed in one of two modes. In one mode the position of the car is locked whether the car is moving or not. In the other failure mode the indicated position is offset by a distance and direction that moves in...
