Well, Tesla won't budge on price. All I wanted was the labour written off (£1250). I will no longer recommend Tesla to any of my clients. My next purchase will be Porsche or Audi.

That will be a shame, as American quality is terrible compared to German. It could seriously push me over to Porsche or Audi.

Thanks for the picture. 2 things I note from this design. The first is no nyloc nut on the end of that bolt, so just a standard nut and bolt, torqued down to a suitable rating for the diameter, material type and thread pitch. That then creates another problem, as aluminium is a soft material...

I had a phone call from a Tesla senior sales guy Friday morning to discuss my thoughts on Tesla, as I have had mine longer than most, and probably driven further (73,000 miles so far in mine, plus about 20,000 in various S and X loaners). I laughed at the start of the call and explained that...

My P85 has just been quoted at £2752, however, I think they added every bolt option possible, some of which are costed at £9 a bolt?! I have given the go ahead, as I need it back. Yes, its a lot of money, but I can earn that back in a little over a week, and the Ford Fiesta is already driving me...

I'm hoping that you are right. I am curious to see what the warranty period is for a brand new replacement part. I wouldn't be impressed if it falls apart in a year and I have to shell out another £2500.....

I'm basing my costs on what you have been charged, as no one else in the UK has posted what they had to pay. The USA quotes do seem to vary wildly, from $2100 to $3500 all in for the exact same job. At the moment, Tesla haven't quoted. I'm keen to get this resolved ASAP. The initial WTF shock...

How many P85's were made? I'm curious to see what percentage have failed so far.

if the motor tabs both break, then the only thing holding it it are the push fit drive shafts and the connecting power cables. 650lb of metal just waiting to fall out.

That sounds like the drive unit letting go. That will be under the 8 year warranty. You can confirm the noise by driving in reverse and letting the accelerator go, as the regen will load up and take up the drivetrain slack.

I would like to know how many of us have had to pay for new subframes. Time to push for a recall, as its a safety issue. Meanwhile, I've messaged the finance company. I've paid just over 50% on HP and I'm over 50% of the time through my term. I have explained the situation, and that the amount...

Where's the creak from? I sent mine in for a creek from the front , but they couldn't find anything. This is a definite bang from the back. I guess it could start as a creak until the metal tab finally breaks and the motor is free to twist.

I've just been told by Tesla Chelmsford (UK) service centre that my rear sub frame is cracked. My car is a 2014 P85. Drive unit (the 3rd one since 23,000 miles) was replaced in July. I have driven 5000 miles since then, so the car is up to 73,000 miles now. It was all fine until last week...

This looks amazing. Do Maxton ship to the UK? Just what my P85 needs

I am in the same position as a few of you. I bought the replacement tpms for my aftermarket wheels, and the choices were 2012-2013 or 01/2014-2016. I chose 01/2014 as my car was registered in August 2014. It is the gen1 system. I have a ts401 scanner, and I scanned the 3 remaining wheels I have...
