Happened a few times to my 2015 p85d shortly after the MCU2 upgrade. Dual button reboot fixed it each time. Hasn't happened in the last few months so I'm hoping it's something that has been addressed through a software update.

I suspect it does....

Not only do you get new displays, but the computers behind the displays are also upgraded leading to much better responsiveness!

I've got a 2015 p85d, battery and motor warranty is about to expire (november). I've been contemplating this, and have come to the conclusion that I still love the car, and it's in great shape. I'm keeping it, and banking some cash for future expenses, which will without doubt be way less than...

My understanding is that if Tesla ends up owning a car w/ SCO1, they pull it off. If it never was owned (beyond initial manufacture) by Tesla, it stays.

No question, do the MCU upgrade, it's well worth the $!

I've heard that there is a thick liquid that can leak out and make a mess below the screen that can be difficult to clean up. Perhaps someone who has had it happen can chime in. I had my screens updated, cost 1800, very worth it because not only are the screens nicer, the computers are better...

I have to say I have the same vintage MS, and my experience has not been at all similar. Hope you find something you like better....

Bought my 2015 P85D 4 years ago, from Tesla, with a 4 year warranty (in addition to the remainder of the 8 year Battery & DU warranty). My 4 year warranty just ran out, and the 8 year Bat & DU runs out in November. Did a fair amount of thinking on this, mostly on whether or not to trade it in...

Quote: "I'm very nervous that even after getting into my first one (barely), I'd be hit with a motor or battery failure or HUGE repair that I simply can't afford". I think you've answered your own question. My advice would be that if you need a car at this point, buy something cheap and take...

Yay! I also just installed and it appears (after a very short test) to be fixed! :cool: :)

And I leave mine in insane mode! 😁

That's good to know, thanks!

I wonder if it was a nosecone and he bought one of the after market psuedo facelift bumpers?

So the problem your facing is that it's an expensive car that is going (gone?) off warranty. It could be just fine, but it also could end up being expensive. Potential large expenditures are battery and drive units, less expensive (but not trivial) are things like displays, suspension etc...
