Just had my MCU replaced out of warranty last week and isnce then whenever I leave the car for a longer period (2 plus hrs) the dash screen reboots (T logo and then powering up please wait message) this takes between 15 and 30 seconds. Definitely has not ever done this before. wondering if...

Not sure how it is in the rest of the country but in SF bay area they are no longer saying they do loaners, issuing uber credits instead. the last place i got a loaner was in palo alto and they tried to issue uber credits i told them " sure my commute is 100 miles round trip happy for you to...

whew thats rough. similar mileage to mine wondering if there was a bad batch my delivery was november 2016

welcome to tesla, you used to have to wait until warranty ran out but now i guess they are shi--ing on you right from the start

and this relates to tesla how? moderator please move post to some political site...thank you

Tell them they need to refund your money immediately, call your bank or financial institution and ask what options are available, look into retaining a lawyer to provide what limited leverage you may have. Tesla has proven they could care less about customers once they have your money and they...

just to add to the thread the latest info...just had MCU replaced in SF out of warranty (october 2016 build first of the AP2 hardware but 1 or 1.5 mcu), $1800 for remanufactured gen 1.5 (or 1) MCU. I asked about the MCU upgrade service tech had no clue and was SOO not interested in researching...

It's interesting, I have owned 5 from early 70's to 2006 including a 2002tii,M3, M5. I found them to be one of the few cars that were reliable and also you could pretty much fix them yourself. BMW fundamentally changed their business model from a 20 year car to a 4 year car. by that I mean...

And it was, but had to call it to their attention

Show me where there is a 4 year unlimited warranty on the replacement MCU....its one year per the documentation on out of warranty replacement on non drivetrain/battery. And the warranty waiver they had me sign BEFORE THEY WOULD EVEN TOUCH THE CAR makes it nigh impossible to go back no matter...

Pretty sure repair parts are only 12mo or the original warranty period whichever comes first. Once you modify your car IN ANY WAY you are in an adversarial relationship with tesla

Tesla did the math already, for all the unaware out there part of teslas plan was to have the largest database of driver data of anyone (car company or not) so they planned on logging as much as possible and back calculated EMMC write limits to JUUUUST get them out of paying for another MCU on...

Hey thats an E46 335 Prob a 2007, my 335 has 260K and running fine that one is probably a lemon like my tesla

Got the car back today, $2200 as they covered the previously broken warranty parts, They damaged the steering wheel replacing the steering wheel controls so they replaced that as well (no charge) didnt even get asked about the MCU upgrade.... assuming I got the crap MCU1 as everything is slow...

sigh... beamers are bikes, bimmers are cars....

90 is not the slowest. I have an S60 and never have had an issue, now at 70K miles. Plenty of other sh-t tho

next year...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

My installer has done over a dozen teslas, mine was a low budget (HA!!!) system but he explained taking the signal from the high level speaker output at the fron kickpanels into the DSP is the safest way and even in the supercars he has done installs in he has never had an issue. Power...

my car is a daily driver, someone would have to remove the MCU, ship to socal, pay for repair ship back, pay for reinstall might take two weeks on the fast side and $1500 with lots of potential downside on damage to something. service center is proceeding with new MCU and will let me know how...

It’s my daily driver 100 mile a day commute, yeppers on the form

should be complete in 3 to 5 years

They are essentially voiding any warranty on the MCU which is illegal as they have to prove (per magnesson moss) my aftermarket system caused the failure I do not have a radio, it is "just" two amps, a DSP, 10" audiomobile sub and Morel 3 way front stage, source is 96K mosconi BT audio...

If I dont sign they wont repair

So I did ask about the update to MCU 2 and mine was one of the first cars with AP2 (literally changed mid build cycle) and no one even knows about MCU 2 upgrade at any of the bay area service centers.It seems like they are just trying to push cars thru service and cant fathom anything more

not sure- magnason Moss says parts warranty, not actually working on car, tesla is refusing to work on car w/o sign off

Took car in for the obligatory out of warranty MCU Failure and called me today to ask for a waiver as there is an aftermarket car stereo in the car and this may be the cause as the MCU is HIGHLY sensitive yada yada yada. The implication is that if you do anything to the car it could cause it to...

more like broke even, ESA cost $2000 MCU replacement $2000

yeah, jonesing to the tune of 4400 in repairs.....why should a simple crap slow computer fail in 4 years? cant anyone at tesla do the math on write cycles/ oh yeah they DID the math and figured it would fail after the warranty expires so the customer is stuck with the bill

interesting that they put charges in the estimate for both an air bag(??) and the steering wheel controls. I had to point out the failure after one month and THEN they removed that

Oh and at least when you pay exorbitant BMW dealer fees they throw in a LOANER car even out of warranty

Good to know No did not have to pay, happy for the 8 yr drivetrain but plenty other systems on the car that should not fail (ie main screen MCU - gee i have 20 yr old laptops that still work fine, oh and they are faster than MCU 1 by a long shot)

On average yes, just don't take them to a dealer, unlike tesla there are independant shops that repair cars and MANUALS that allow DIY. Tesla is so F'ed up about secrecy in their shops and allowing third party repair that it makes on wonder what is behind the curtain. On average my M3 and 330i...

At this point I will take BMW lies over Tesla lies, and BMW is a CAR company so yes they will build higher quality cars than tesla. I neglected to mention that my car was delivered with a MASSIVE trunk leak that required replacement of the entire rear carpet and insulation, Oh and then...

That is the bolt that holds the rotor on during the assembly line build, you can remove it and SHOULD remove it with aftermarket wheels. obviously the wheel holds the rotor on and inevitable corrosion will make sure it doesnt fall off when you remove the caliper for brake pad changes. i have...

those that pay the extended service dont get the MCU crippled until after the extended warranty stops!!

Yes long story car in pc has the wheels I bought but never put on car (axis allies set of 4 with contis 21 inch $1000) car is indeed new fascia. and actually I ordered my car in september and they called me in october and told be i was upgraded to AP2 hardware and was one of the first BMW I4...

My car is a nov 2016 delivery, first of the AP2 Hardware cars delivered. In June 2019 I had steering wheel controls replaced as there was no functions on steering wheel and horn did not work they replaced the stalk controls, replaced under warranty In Nov of 2019 same issue and they replaced...

So SInce the original failure the controls have failed twice more this time they replaced the actual steering wheel button set. while waiting for the controls to arrive at SC the main screen has now failed...all "just"out of warranty

Well hopefully now...maybe...my S had a huge trunk leak from the factory, motor and axles replaced at 45k... steering controls replaced three times....main screen is now dead at 63K miles and 3.5 years. No, I would say the underpinnings are just as messed up

of course! but vents are all allocated so its all publicity for elon and no action, typical. I guarantee that medical device companies have 1000 time better distribution channels and oh yeah FDA CLEARANCE to distribute products. Elon "No Clue" Musk strikes again

with great power comes great responsibility. My only comments are that Steve Jobs denied his first daughters existence and intentionally orphaned his family by trying to beat cancer with a macrobiotic diet, sounds like a pretty sh-tty person to me

1) Service appointments minimum 3 week wait 2) failure of my motor and axles at 40k miles 3) steering wheel control failures times 3 over one year 4) complete main screen failure 1 month out of warranty

WELCOME TO TESLA

F no go to americas tire and get it fixed for free

Welcome to Tesla where the K stands for quality

Cause elon dont care about you, he likes having the functionality of a 95 honda for audio and phone cause he can deliver no FSD for thise that dropped 5K 5 years ago and never got anything. Joke on you losers

Congrats man glad you have the skills... I have a 2016 nov delivery one of the very first AP2 cars and my MCU is dead at 65K miles killed two steering control units on the way there. Scheduled for april 6th service as they didnt have parts for march 15 or 26 appt. super disappointed at the in...

no wait now they say they cant get parts hahahahahaha maybe the 6th of april what a joke Telsa incompetence plus covid = complete shutdown

wish i could try my 2016 S with 65K just had complete MCU failure and Tesla cant tell me if/when they can fix....
