    10+ minutes to start my "old" tesla is just an inconvenience b/c I chose to do the eMMC recall and install firmware updates

    I am just getting rid of the car. I'm never buying a Tesla again. I spent over $250K on Tesla's (P85D with ludicrous and Model X ludicrous which I luckily sold immediately because of other Tesla issues). They no longer care or support their customers. I love how the Tesla drove, but can't...

    10+ minutes to start my "old" tesla is just an inconvenience b/c I chose to do the eMMC recall and install firmware updates

    If you file a complaint with the nhtsa feel free to reference file #504485. I filed a complaint a few weeks ago especially after I realized the car was sometimes in a state where I was able to start driving but the reverse sensors were inactive. I have no idea what other issues may be...

    10+ minutes to start my "old" tesla is just an inconvenience b/c I chose to do the eMMC recall and install firmware updates

    The update was the NHTSA recall (eMCC fix). Tesla claims doing a government endorsed recall is my choice although they sent all impacted owners a letter telling them to get the recall - there was no warnings in the government issued recall. And they knew it could degrade the car but never...

    "Center Display Unavailable" message

    I called the NHTSA phone number and filed a complaint - especially since Tesla admits it is due to performing the recall and said it was because of my "choice" to have the recall performed. Couldn't use the on-line forms as my VIN didn't work on the on-line form. They asked if I ever called...

    10+ minutes to start my "old" tesla is just an inconvenience b/c I chose to do the eMMC recall and install firmware updates

    Tesla admitted that there are issues with the eMMC recall and firmware update in an indeterminate number of vehicles and they've known about the issue for months. They still won't take care of it.

    Not sure the effectiveness but found this. https://www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem#index Also I am trying to tweet referencing Tesla and Elon Musk.

    2016 P100DL or new model 3 performance

    My car has been tested by Tesla for the past 4 years for this. Every time they tell me it’s normal and now they just say it’s because the car is old. Tesla needs to introduce a disclaimer that the lifecycle of their cars is only a few years and after that it is at your own risk. No matter...

    "Center Display Unavailable" message

    From talking to service this problem has been around for months. I did not getting much confidence that they actually will fix it as I believe they just expect us all to pay for the new mcu. They keep arguing the system gets slower over time versus owning up to the fact that they screwed up...

    10+ minutes to start my "old" tesla is just an inconvenience b/c I chose to do the eMMC recall and install firmware updates

    I was happy with the existing functionality with the cars functionality and due to the age of the car/ hardware wouldn’t care if my firmware was frozen. Right now I feel blackmailed into spending 2k upgrading the mcu. Car was perfectly functional until the eMMC recall was done - and the party...

    2016 P100DL or new model 3 performance

    I would not touch a used Tesla unless you want to drive locally. See my thread about “old” Tesla models and being told it’s my fault for installing updates and getting the recall done (after the eMMC recall my car randomly takes 10+ minutes before I can go into drive - was told it’s just an...

    I had no issues until the recall was done. Everything started the day I picked up the car.

    10+ minutes to start my "old" tesla is just an inconvenience b/c I chose to do the eMMC recall and install firmware updates

    If you have an older Tesla - be very wary about updating your firmware or even getting any recall work done. If something goes wrong, it apparently is the fault of the customer. Once Tesla updates any hardware, apparently your car is old and obsolete. I have a 2015 P85DL with about 75K...

    "Center Display Unavailable" message

    I agree. I probably will start another thread to warn people about doing any recalls or firmware updates on older hardware. I was told the recall was my choice, and upgrading my firmware is also my choice; so the issues are my "fault" as my car is "old". Tesla said the car is totally...

    "Center Display Unavailable" message

    My car is at tesla for a second time for the display unavailable error message within a week (and waiting 10 minutes before I could put the car in drive). I am about 4 weeks out from when the mmc recall work was done - at which time when we picked up the car had error messages about settings...

    "Center Display Unavailable" message

    had the recall done on my car (2015 p85dl) and now get this message. Entering the car takes 5 or more minutes before it will even let me drive. Starts with hold brake for 30 servings messages then just wait and wait for it to eventually boot up and let me drive - and the center display error...
