Thankfully yours looked like it either completed the update before the 12v failed or the 3 has some more robust failsafes in place to prevent MCU damage. So weird that it was the exact same update too! Was yours the original 12v battery? If so, ours were probably around the same age, as I had...

I saw a post about this site from one of the local news stations and the comments were so ignorant and ill-informed about EVs lol Hopefully this location being here will increase visibility to EVs and curb some of the negativity.

Thank you all for the insight/suggestions! Just in case this happens to anyone else, and to serve as a cautionary tale, please make sure your 12v battery is good before doing a software update, especially on older Model S'. TL;DR: It was the 12v battery after all, and I had to get the MCU...

Pulled the frunk and feel really stupid now as the 12v was sitting at 10.3v... Looks like I'll have to grab a replacement and hope the car will recover on its own or at the very least. If not, hopefully Mobile Service can redeploy once the fresh battery is in. Just really odd that I didn't get...

I was thinking of calling them to see what they recommended. No visibility in the app or via the API at all. I could pull the frunk and get a multimeter on the 12v to see what’s going on. 12v was replaced in 08-2020 but I didn’t get any “low voltage battery needs replacement” or anything this...

EDIT: False alarm, it was more than likely my 12v battery that failed during the update.... TL;DR: After doing a software update this afternoon, my 2014 Model S is undrivable and unresponsive. Full details: Got a software update notification this afternoon to install 2023.20.7 and so, as...

The Mrs was at the Quarry last Thursday and took some completely unprompted pictures of the construction (I was surprised lol) Progress is really coming along, she said there were 6 stalls installed so far and more covered

That is interesting! I looked back through my Service Center records and they never replaced the steering link on mine, only tightened the bolt on it. Last time I took out the frunk and had a look in there, mine definitely doesn't have the isolator either. Strange, as I've seen that Bjørn...

So excited for this one! Making annual trips to Angelo will finally get easier!

I was still in the used vehicle warranty period at the time so it ultimately didn't cost me anything. I can't remember for sure, but I recall the "estimate" invoice being at least $2,500 before they determined if it would be covered under the warranty or not.

Yeah, maybe it would be closer to actual market value with the $5k, but still probably too low for me to consider. The last time I did a trade-in estimate, it was $28.5k, which is absolutely laughable and I'm sure it's even lower with this program in place now. Exactly 🤣 We make pretty frequent...

This morning I received an email from Tesla offering an additional $5,000 on my vehicles trade in value to "exchange" my unlimited free Supercharging miles. I have a super early P85D with the + suspension (heck even the struts say "prototype" lol) and FUSC has saved me over $1k in the nearly 4...

They did! I asked them to tell me what it was and they said there some some grease that was needed but they didn’t elaborate very much.

Awesome news! Just curious, was there a Tow Hitch on this one? A friend ordered a Blue/Black MYLR on the same date with a similar EDD but his has a tow hitch.

Crossing my fingers that this will be opening soon, it's really coming along! The trip to Leon Springs isn't bad, but they are so overwhelmed that service has really been slipping there. Plus, this is like 3 minutes away from me lol From what I could see, they had pallets of...
