I have this problem on my 2015 70D and would love any more details you could give about this. Were you able to move the "long harness" out of the way so that it doesn't get pinched? Is your problem still fixed now that a year has passed? Thanks!

Maybe you’re right. I seem to remember it being $1500 instead of $2000 but maybe the price went up for both the more expensive one (AP2) and the discounted one (AP1).

A service advisor just told me that there is no discount available for the MCU1-to-MCU2 upgrade if done in place of the eMMC recall on my 2015 70D. I could have sworn there was a discount offered. Has it expired? Has anyone gotten it recently? I am being told it is $1750, which is the regular...

My 2015 P85D sprung a leak in one of the air suspension hoses. I found the leak and sealed it with some plastic tubing and super glue. Tesla confirmed that the leak is fixed, so I just need them to make my air suspension level again, which I have read is a simple/quick thing but requires Tesla...

If it was functioning well before disassembly, don’t you think you should spend the $ to have the shop reassemble it before you sell it? Seems like it would be much more attractive to buyers that way and you would make more than your money back.

Many people have had success having Tesla program a fob they bought from a 3rd party, which is one of the reasons I posted about this. It is hard to tell if it is a policy, if it depends on who you get for service, or if it depends on if the fob is used and still linked to a previous vehicle.

I am in the same position, and have wondered the same thing. I am close to ordering the Megamat Duo 10 M, but wonder if the Auto would be an even better fit.

My local service center gave me an estimate for $175 for the fob (1455940-00-B) and $19.50 for the programming. Sounds reasonable, so I guess I won't risk buying an "unprogrammable" fob online.

Yes, I realize the newer vehicles allow for programming at home. For the 400,000ish Model S vehicles sold before that, though, like my 2013, a lot of fobs will still need replacing and programming.

Yes, but that is helpful because it sounds like it corresponds to the newer US part 1455940-00-A, as opposed to the original part 1007492-00-F. I assume that fob was for your 2014 P85+ ?

$135 including the hour to program, or $135 plus the hour of labor (another $175ish) to program?

There seems to be a lot of variation in experiences getting replacement fobs, even when getting them from Tesla. How much did you pay for the fob and how much for the programming? If you bought the fob from a third party, how did you know if it was programmable, or if it was already tied to a...

I've read that the used fob can be used again if it was deactivated with the original car. If not, it is unable to be paired to a new car.

OK. I think fobs changed in 2017, so hopefully you ended up with one that is compatible. Good luck.

Do you happen to know what the part number was of the fobs you bought? I have a January 2013 S 85 and am going to buy a replacement fob and want to make sure I get the right one that can be programmed to my car.
