    eMMC recall reimbursement

    I got reimbursed for an MCU1 replacement upgrade, so if you opted for an MCU2 upgrade (and not MCU1 replacement) and paid out of pocket they dont refund?? God thats bad they should at least give you the $1000 for paaying 2500 and then watching them drop it 1500

    former BMW owners

    I come from BMW (2002tii, 330i, M3, M5, 330is) and NEVER looked back. You will have to adjust to the fact that service is not as nice (no loaners, or communication, attempts to blame everything on you or say "thats normal" "within specs" etc) but then if you dont get a monday car (i did) you...

    Got my MCU1 Refund today!

    I received a Check from Tesla this weekend for $2400, as I was one of the "lucky" saps whose MCU1 failed just out of warranty. I am actually shocked that a) I got it at all, b)I got it so fast c)I did not have to take legal action to get it and d) it was for the entire service invoice which...

    Car manufacturers with worse service than Tesla

    Yes, I think the issue issue the folks with customer car service backrounds realize its a total s--tshow when Tessla corporate doesnt stand behind their cars so they get out and you are left with those willing to toe the corporate line

    Audio connectivity, Qobuz, Hi-res?

    Which is pretty much why i ditched the whole tesla system (it sucks in any form). My Input options are pretty much unlimited as the DSP has optical, BT, analog inputs i choose BT as itismost convienient. I have my Brennan B2 connected at some times with optical, all the music on that is flac...

    Why would you waste 96K resolution on the crap tesla audio system...Mine is connected to a Mosconi Gladen 6 to 8 Channels Aerospace Digital Signal Processor Which in turn is feeding Arc Audio X2 1100.5 Multi-Channel Amplifier (5-Channels) running an Audiomobile Evo 2410 High-Performance 10"...

    Will my Model S ever recover

    NOPE, just said they checked the VIN and my vehicle was not eligible, its entirely likely that they just care SO LITTLE about after sale customer service that they just blew me off but there is really no recourse as the 20 year old Service "Manager" runs the show. If I ever get my $2110 back...

    Will my Model S ever recover

    My Second MCU1 infact waiting for $2110 refund from the replacement cost from the subsequent NHTSA action which i will likely never see. Iwas told in no uncertain terms that My car could NOT get MCU2 (2016 September build,one of the first AP2 hardware cars)

    Audio connectivity, Qobuz, Hi-res?

    Umm you can stream from your phone via BT and run it thru the CRAP system that elon provides, or you can pony up 3-7K or more for a PROFESSIONALLY installed system. Justkeep in mind that you will get *sugar* from the service department EVERY time you go in for service because the service advisor...

    Will my Model S ever recover

    In 2016 I was told that the radio cutting in and out at startup would be fixed by a software patch. Next I was told that voice control would be fixed by a software patch. Next i was told that USB music would be fixed by a software patch. Next I was told that the archaic BT phone support would...

    Service says $22k for new battery on 2012 Model S

    No, You didn't buy your 2013 Model S to beta test it, but you did Telsa's beta testing whether you knew it or not, and on top of that you provided massive amounts of "self driving" data to Tesla at the cost of your EMMC failing. The 8 year drivetrain warranty was to get people to trust that it...

    Aftermarket instrument cluster

    TEsla takes a dim view of any modifications whatsoever. they will make you sign a waiver that aftermarket modifications to the car are present and any effort to service or repair is "best effort"

    Tesla legal claims MCU is a wearable part, like tires

    that "worthless information" is at least HALF the total value of tesla as a company, they clearly have the largest repository of self driving and non self driving l world data (not some fleet of 100 waymo crapmobiles puttering around mt view). These units FAILED BY DESIGN for the sake of data...

    Tesla legal claims MCU is a wearable part, like tires

    If its a wear item why do you tie it into a $2000+ computer? Why not make it a replaceable $10 memory chip like on EVERY SINGLE COMPUTER IN THE F_ING WORLD?? SEriously, that is the worst "dog ate my homework" excuse i have ever heard. They either a) Had no clue this would happen or B)...

    Why I'm Not Opting for Full Self-Driving

    Maybe its been fixed on newer cars but my 2016 Gen 2 (MCU1) has none chance of EVER being self driving. Cameras are blinded at sunrise and sunset (my commute hours) and phantom braking is SO bad that I cannot trust it for a minute. Yet I could still fork over the $8000 on their website to...

    Ideal Aftermarket Audio System for Model S

    I had a custom system installed and it sounds FAR superior to anything that tesla has new or old, its a bit more than the premium option on a stock tesla but uses high end components (Arc Audio, Mosconi, Morel, Audiomobile) sounds insanely good, not just because of the components, I'd say thats...

    NHTSA asks Tesla to recall 158,000 [now 135,000] vehicles for eMMC failure. Voluntary Recall issued

    And the best part is you will still have a slow as *sugar* MCU1 that doesnt support a web browser or voice commands and reboots every other week stranding you for the 5-10 minutes it takes to reboot
