It's possible that both the front and rear motors failed in less than 2,000 miles, but others who've replied to my post seem to think it's likely that the SC made a mistake and replaced the wrong motor. Either way--unreliable motors or diagnosis mistakes--such warranty and repair problems have...

Yes, I diligently cover my MS with Tesla's $400 cover if it's left outside for a protracted period of time, say, 8 or more hours. In fact, I returned to the SC and covered it last Monday. I also always garage the car when not driving. The reason I do this is because the large screen becomes...

The SC might have very well misdiagnosed it the first time and replaced the wrong motor!

Good to hear your Tesla is doing well for you. We first looked at the Jaguar E-PACE but decided that the company just did not have the experience with EVs that Tesla has and we were also worried about Jaguar's financial stability. The Audi e-tron just seemed boring. Of the Tesla options, seemed...

I realize that SpaceX is separate from Tesla. I just identify it as another Elon company, supposedly with the same high-tech culture, so the SC communications system seems very backward given that culture. An SR+ is the Model S Performance, the Raven update with the permanent-magnet motor...

I’m having severe problems with my new Model SR+ that has only 2,000 miles on it. It has broken down twice with the “Yellow Triangle of Death,” you know, the dreaded YTOD that says “…vehicle needs service, may not restart.” The first time this happened the odometer was only at 1,710 miles. I had...

Amazing the number of "I never have a problem" comments here. Within a day of receiving my new Tesla Model S Performance, experienced the dreaded "door handle will not present." I learned about the "two credit cards and the string of shame" workarounds elsewhere on this forum but they didn't...

Shouldn’t be so hard on Xmen’s expecting basic ADAS features to work with a loaded MX with Hardware 2.0 for $100k+. Back in Sep, I had on order a P100DL, joined this forum to learn more about Tesla, and saw a debate going on that “AP 2.0 was imminent." At the same time, I called my Delivery...

Perhaps the question should be why did I place my order in the first place. I went ahead and ordered in early August because there were articles being written about Tesla producing vehicles with new autonomous hardware. After purchasing, I could not find any evidence backing up these articles'...

I was disappointed when I cancelled my August order for a MS P100D and lost the $2,500 down, but now I'm glad I made that tough decision. :) I'll certainly pony up the $8,000 for the new full autonomous camera and sensor suite. Just wondering if I should wait until January while they're...

The auto world is becoming more of a multidimensional competitive landscape going into 2017. Maybe for the sake of staying ahead of the competition Tesla is realizing it has to market its leading AP driver assistance equally with EV. Mercedes has lately been making a big deal about its new...

Yes I asked my local Tesla reps, same story, they know nothing about "AP 2.0 or a tri-camera."
