    No connectivity

    At 7PM today I noticed my LTE stop connecting as well, but WiFi connects no problem. Rebooting doesn’t help. 2015 Model S, Cambridge, ON.

    Charge Port -- Takes two attempts to unlock

    Hi everyone, I have a 2015 Model S P85DL and I find it usually takes me a couple of attempts to unlock the charge port. Here's the sequence I have to do to remove the charger cable from the cahrge port: Attempt #1: I press the charger cable button I hear the charge port unlock (but it...

    Need Help: Rear Drive Unit Replacement $6k

    Thanks! Since I have a 2015 P85DL, then I guess a read drive unit might be in my future sometime :( I have warranty until August 2028, so if it's going to fail, hopefully it's before that :P

    Need Help: Rear Drive Unit Replacement $6k

    Are there certain model years that aren't impacted by drive unit failures as much as other model years?

    HV Battery Replacement — What an I getting?

    Thanks for the offer, but being a Canadian our telecom rates for calling the US are beyond stupid haha! Hopefully your sad story has improved! I rarely to a Ludi launch -- mainly when introducing someone to the car for the first time. But it's nice to know it's there when I want it :D But...

    HV Battery Replacement — What an I getting?

    Thanks everyone for your help throughout my battery replacement incident! As an update, here's a chronology of my experience to date for my in-warranty replacement in case it helps other people :) I was pleasantly shocked at how quickly Tesla was able to repair the vehicle! 2023-01-18 -- 2015...

    2014 MS 85 Battery Died - need advise

    Thanks for the suggestion! When you say "less power", do you mean that I can only get my Ludicrous power if all 90 kWh are unlocked? I got an invoice that they install the 90 kWh pack (1014116-00-C) , and I can see that at 90% charge it was at 407 kms (254 mi). Even when the car was brand...

    2014 MS 85 Battery Died - need advise

    Ah, thanks! I called the SC and apparently they did actually swap the battery last night, and it should be ready tomorrow. So fast! I’m thinking I got the 90 kWh battery because in TeslaFi I can see that it charged to 406 kms of range at 90%, whereas I only used to get about 345 kms at 90%...

    2014 MS 85 Battery Died - need advise

    Thanks! Good to know, thanks! I've heard that Elon was trying to get the abttery pack swap time down to 90 seconds back before superchargers were a thing, so maybe 1HR 15MINS is possible haha! But I'm still skeptical that they actually had a new battery shipped that fast. There was a crate...

    Yeah -- I'll keep peopel updated on what happens!

    2014 MS 85 Battery Died - need advise

    I got the same "hv-battery-replacement__alert_secondary" error code on pretty much the same day as the OP, but thankfully under warranty still. I towed the car to Tesla on Jan 20. Tesla keeps changing their service completion time estimate -- originally it was Feb 14, then Feb 1, and then last...

    HV Battery Replacement — What an I getting?

    Interestingly enough, I'd describe it more as a "poof!" -- there were no warning signs whatsoever. In fact, I thought it was impressive how little battery degradation I had over the 3.5 years that I owned the car (which I bought pre-owned from my neighbour). I guess having little battery...

    HV Battery Replacement — What an I getting?

    Interesting. I actually already swapped the rear suspension parts on my own dime in December (but installed by an independent mechanic), so there's probably nothing they have to do related to the suspension. I'm still really curious about the impacts to Ludicrous -- I'm really hoping it's...

    HV Battery Replacement — What an I getting?

    Thanks! If it's close to Ludicrous, that would be fine by me as well! I just wan't sure if it would feel like it's downgraded to a regular P85D, or if it feels more like something inbetween a P85D and a P85DL. If it's something inbetween, I'd be OK wiht that as a tradeoff for all the other...
