    Another Unfavorable Tesla Service Experience

    The way I was directed, by my service tech, to get ahold of them was to call and when prompted use the option that stated it was regarding your car that was currently in for service. That directed the call to the local service center vs. their general call center.

    Computer issues MCU? Center Display Unavailable

    I just got the same message. Although I have not had any of the issues with the MCU. The only thing out of the ordinary is the dash screen is black when getting in the can and i have to wait for it to wake up. I scheduled a service appointment and hopefully they can fix it. I just had the MCU...

    UMC Failure

    I called Tesla and they sent me a gen 2 when my gen 1 failed. I wish I would have known to clean the contacts to see if that helped.

    Am I the exception since I have always had a great service experience?

    I have used a ranger 2x. The first is an example I always tell people when discussing service. This was for the first 12v battery replacement. They said they could send mobile to my house and they would also do the airbag recall at the same time. I asked if they could look at the drivers door...

    12v Battery Question

    I replaced the 12v myself back in December. The battery was $165 and there was no core charge. My first 12v battery was replaced February 2018 by a ranger and lasted until December 2019. Replacing was more difficult than in an ICE car but overall not that bad. A lot of factors probably played...

    Am I the exception since I have always had a great service experience?

    Thats true. People are going to be more vocal about problems than with everything going right.

    Am I the exception since I have always had a great service experience?

    Just to begin, I have only dealt with the Columbus Ohio service center. And I know thats going to be the main reason since every SC is different. I have come to know Dan and Scott quite well. I cant praise them both enough. I have 12 invoices saved on my phone from different visits and I know...

    MCU died out of warranty. Heres info on my experience

    I did get a free upgrade to LTE so thats been nice. My screen was leaking as well and I'm pretty happy I hadn't replaced that yet. They quoted me $1,100 for just the screen back in August. My warranty is 2yrs/25,000 miles on the MCU (hopefully enough time for the Cybertruck to arrive and trade...

    MCU died out of warranty. Heres info on my experience

    The browser does work. The MCU itself was $1300. Thats before factoring in the other parts and labor to install. Labor rate here is $175/hr.

    MCU died out of warranty. Heres info on my experience

    With this being an older S, I am very thankful for the CPO warranty and have put it to use. Mostly with minor things but this is the first major problem I have had outside of the warranty period. The only other major problem that I have had was the air suspension distribution block cracked and I...

    Tesla wins in Michigan!!!

    When I was selling cars here in Ohio, we would not collect Michigan sales tax. That was the owners job to pay when they went to the DMV in Michigan to get the registration. Certain states we reciprocate with and will send the tax money to that state, Michigan wasnt one though. There was never a...

    Replace TPMS sensors yourself

    In order to reset the TPMS, I have found that changing the wheel size will reset the sensors. You should have the option to change the wheel size. Since I was putting the snow tires on my 19's I changed the wheel size on the screen to the 21's and once the system restarted I switched it back...

    lowering links, but cheap?

    I bought the same links that the OP linked to back in July from the same seller and have had no issues.
