I know there are a couple companies that will refurbish a pack for less than Tesla. I am wondering if there are any true aftermarket packs under development? Having an older Model S gives me anxiety...

I have the Falkens on right now, but it's too early for judgement.

How many miles/days before the error comes back? Seems like buyers could protect themselves by making sure a clause exists to return/refund if the error appears in XX miles or something like that.

Mine has been replaced twice, both were under warranty. 2014 P85+. Hopefully the latest one lasts longer.

I'm not even sure what an option code is, lol. But if it's easy I can give it a shot. The part number was DU(1025598-00-T) both times. Edit - figured out how to do it. My motor code is X024 Performance Motor I don't have any DUxx code.

I just checked my service history, the drive units were replaced in April 2021 at 68k miles and September 2021 at 72k miles. I must have gotten a bad rebuild the first time.

Knock on wood, but I'm driving a 2014 P85+ and the only out-of-pocket costs I've had so far have been a 12v battery. The drive unit was replaced twice under warranty though...

Are there shims available for 2014 performance suspension? Or is this only available on newer years?

I have a 2014 pre-AP P85+, out of warranty for battery and DU. I'm just taking the risk. The drive unit was replaced near the end of the warranty period and the battery is still fine (for now). If the battery dies I'll have a big choice to make...

I would accept a $5k check in exchange for FUSC. I rarely use it.

Not interested in buying a new S or X. If I got an extra $5k on a pre-owned 3/Y it would be more interesting.

I'm not sure if this is helpful or not, but on my 2014 P85+ (with air suspension and large rear drive unit, 21" wheels), I had some Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires fail in the same manner (*not* Tesla OEM, but the Super Sports). The tread was worn down better across the tire than many of the...

That's a great pic of the problem. Clearly there is a ton of tread left.

My rear and front tires have both failed in this manner and they were both Michelins Pilot Sports (the older model, PS2). The rears still had good looking tread on them when it happened. I keep my suspension at the normal height all the time. I'll be replacing with a different brand and I guess...

This is for a 2014 P85+ (staggered tires), not a Plaid, and it's the front tires. How do we know if the Pilot Sports are Tesla OEM versions or generic Pilot Sports?
