    Suspension Replaced - Just the Beginning?

    Well, this car has only 47k miles on it and had the left upper replaced under warranty because it was a bit louder than just creaking after they sealed both uppers under warranty. It's not so much the $2k for the work. It's paying for an hour for diagnosing as well as labor to replace the parts...

    Suspension Replaced - Just the Beginning?

    Electrified Garage is up in Ocala. Hours away from me. I did call EV Garage in Miami. They were a little more expensive than Tesla. There's someone else I know in Broward who works on Teslas. I'd have him do it even though his price is close to Tesla's price.

    Suspension Replaced - Just the Beginning?

    In August 2001, I had just a creaking sound and brought it in for service. The ticket correction was to "reseal area around both front upper control arm ball joints with urethane." In October 2021, it started clunking and I brought it back in. This time they replaced the left upper control arm...

    Infamous front creaking sound from front suspension area

    I believe the upper control arms had a TSB which is why it was done as Goodwill. Not so much on the other suspension parts.

    Infamous front creaking sound from front suspension area

    One of my upper control arms was replaced under warranty back in October 2021 on my 2019 Model 3 LR I purchased in March 2019. I now have 47k miles on it and it's out of warranty. It started squeaking again a couple of months back after the warranty had already expired. Now they are telling me...

    Sharp increase in Service Center hourly labor rate

    Just to update this thread, Delray Beach Service Center is now $305 per labor hour. Seriously, WTF? I won't be going back there for any out-of-warranty service anymore.

    Suspension Replaced - Just the Beginning?

    The invoice I have from Tesla, their labor rate is now $305 per hour. I'd say that's excessive. I'd also add my car was already in the Service Center for a repair on the passenger seat mat which is being repaired and paid for by Tesla via the "Supplemental Restraint System Limited Warranty."

    Suspension Replaced - Just the Beginning?

    Tesla is charging $305 per hour now for labor at the Service Center. Charging an hour for a diagnosis, and about another hour to replace the parts. $584 for both lateral links and another $584 for the lower control (compliance) arms. In total $1175 for parts and $630 in labor (1 for diagnosis...

    Suspension Replaced - Just the Beginning?

    I'm running into this same situation on my 2019 Model 3 LR with just 46,000 miles on it. But out of warranty since March when it hit the 4-year mark. They want $1900 including the fee to diagnose the noise and replace the lower control (compliance) arms and lower lateral links on both sides. A...

    Get FSD back?!?!

    Curious did you ever resubscribe and what was the result. I'm thinking of ending my sub but curious if I have to go through the safety score thing again to get it back.

    Repeater camera issues. Blinkers seen on screen when flashing.

    I opened up a service request through the app about my squeaky seat rail and both repeater cameras doing the described issue in my 2019 Model 3. I set an appointment up for the repair which was about 2 weeks out. Showed up on the day of the repair, they gave me an Enterprise rental car because...

    Ingenext Boost 50 / OEM Acceleration Upgrade Comparison Video

    Just curious, but if you have the offer to upgrade to boost, wouldn't that mean you have the 980 rear and not the 990?

    3G Connectivity

    Tmobile is shutting down 3G in January. I think in July they are completely shutting down the Sprint network I understand.

    Undercarriage mat hanging down

    I purchased a set of aluminum ones with foam backing. I haven't installed them yet but they seem pretty nice. I should get around to installing them soon. Paid $385 with the tax on eBay. I bought it from a US reseller so I wouldn't have to wait weeks to get it. The one on AliExpress looks the...
