    Decision to make----- Many will soon--Thoughts?

    I bought a fully loaded, late November 2015 "S" P90D. I was our 2nd "S". I paid almost $120,000 + tax as I recall. It has everything except 3rd seat and cold climate package. I have had very few issues. The battery pack was replaced in 2018. No issues with replacement. The worst current...

    2015 Model S 85D MCU 1. 2020.36.31 update installation stuck at 80%

    It happened to me about 7 weeks ago. Tesla towed the car in and "re did" the update installation. All was fine. Then 6 weeks later all went black again. They towed it in again and replaced the daughter board. I just got it back last Night. We will see.

    Daughter board?

    I have a November 2015 build a P90D. My MCU has gone out twice in 6 weeks. I have had the car towed to Tesla service both times. The first time it took less then an hour to fix as they said an "update" jammed the system and knocked out my MCU. So they re flashed it? Now 6 weeks later, the...

    Blank Touchscreen, no Nav, Phone etc. ??????

    They found that the most recent update jammed the cars systems and took out the MCU. I had my car towed in and they said (after a few hours) NO CHARGE. I will pick it back up this week. Just give them a call. It might be able to be reset remotely.

    Blank Touchscreen, no Nav, Phone etc. ??????

    One member advised to get the MCU 2 as it would be the same deductible. Thanks for the advice. What is the difference between the 1 and 2?

    Blank Touchscreen, no Nav, Phone etc. ??????

    I went out to the car today (late 2015 P90D 27K mikes) and the drivers screen said, "Please wait for your Tesla to Power Up." I waited 3-4 minutes and the screen in front of the steering wheel came up. But no touchscreen. I tried the brake and holding in the 2 wheels on the steering wheel. No...

    LIftgate glass contacted body during closing, cracked glass, warranty refused!

    I agree with making a glass claim. I, also am quite sure, that you will find there is NO glass substitute for Tesla rear glass. I probably would wait for the "escalated" answer (if you ever get one). If it is still denied I would make the insurance claim. I have had 2 Teslas since 2014 and...

    Losing major amounts of mileage while parked

    I had your problem with my P90D and Tesla came out to the house and tested things. They said the 12 V battery was going out and they replaced it. Of course I still get some drain but much less after a new 12 V battery was installed. This was done under warrantee. Scott
