    Tesla suspension repairs outside of dealer

    Maybe really dumb question.... How do you know when you need new suspension? 2015 85 RWD (not the upgraded air suspension they offered at the time)

    Window regulator troubleshooting

    I did all of my door handles, and even door latch. But the Window Regulator I let Tesla Ranger do. I think at the time it was like 120 for the labor. 2015 85D here also

    BMS-029 - Tesla Must Do Better

    To update the thread..... I finally picked up the car today (22 days). Tesla gave a 10% discount for goodwill, which was much appreciated. I have the 90 KWH new battery (PN 1014116-00-C). Happy to have the car back - but very bittersweet about the whole experience. Hopefully, another 8...

    BMS_u029 error message. That sucks.

    Oh. Only 8,900 Euros for the manual to repair a battery! My dad is a TV repair man, he has an awesome tool kit. I think I can fix it.

    That is an ethical line I am not willing to cross. To each his own. Personal decision.

    BMS-029 - Tesla Must Do Better

    The frustration is that I waited 2 weeks BEFORE the appointment and after the quote for them to source parts. For a company that is so driven by tech - wouldn't it make sense to alert me when the parts are ready so I can bring it in for the .1 weeks? Lol. All good. But seriously....

    No loaner, no Uber credit, not even an offer of a banana seat bike ride home. Drop the car, say sayonnara, hope for the best. At this point - I hope I see my car again one day lol. Take my money, please!

    Just to clarify... I am the OP and the only owner of the car. I did not buy it second hand.

    BMS-029 - Tesla Must Do Better

    Just to update the thread.... My car is still at the SC. Today is 2 weeks. They estimate it will be done in 1 more week. 3 weeks for a battery replacement? I am rolling with the punches here.... But cant say that most people would. I will update when completed.

    I will update the thread. But it won't be today. As we all know, part of the fun of the Tesla service experience is dropping off your car with a 2 week estimate to do a 4 hour job. It has been there a week, and I dont expect it back for another week.

    Tesla's problem is not the reality. Tesla's problem is the perception. Conspiracy theories grow in the dark. In this case, it is very easy for masses of people to think there is something sinister going on. These kinds of perceptions are battled on the corporate / consumer level every day...

    BMS-029 - Tesla Must Do Better

    Sorry about that. I confused you with the poster above who did ask. I see now it wasn't you. That is a very good question. I am not sure what it is worth. But I would assume it is worth more to Tesla than anyone else. And I think in every case any car in this situation should be worth more...
