I believe the tech writes it but the service advisor can modify it to fit the corporate guideline if necessary. They also use templates since the wordings on different service invoices have the same structures. Either way, this episode seems to be self-induced confusion on their side. I've the...

That might be, but note that he was trying to justify the charges for an updated fuse (the context of the conversation) and saying "The fuse is separate from the HV battery": To me that implies he was trying to say they just changed the "battery" but not his old fuse and that your old fuse...

@teedee - This is amazing! The service advisor, the way I read it, implies (incorrectly IMO) that they used your old fuse off your old battery and installed it on your new pack that you received earlier this year. But then in the invoice provided to you by the same service center (post#161)...

I suppose the new one is on the right of the posted picture?

Thanks for clarifying. I've the same pack but it is 1014116-00-C. I got it a year ago. I do not have the fuse warning message to this date.

Which battery did you get as a replacement? What's the part number? The age and the mileage on your new batter? Tnx.

That cable is for Pre-Sept 2015 model S with MCU1. Wouldn't you need a post-Sept 2015 cable for the same car but with an upgraded MCU2? Also, any performance issue you have run into with that OBD2 Scanner running with SMT?

I think some of these errors are false negatives for the older cars that probably have no sensors installed for the said components.

That is an alert. It should be in your notification history. It would be nice to take a picture of it and post it here.

To give it more perspective, it would be helpful if you actually outline some of the issues you experienced with that car. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for confirming it. Am I the only one seeing lots of unqualified statements being made on the forum these days? Another owner in a different thread made the same claim, which I could not believe to be factual.

The older cars like mine have their radar disabled? Are you sure about this? I surely did not know my radar had been disabled!!!

Correct, but you were asking about: I was trying to point out the posters in the other thread haven't been able to even run the reset procedure itself.

The car does give you a warning for that too.

Congrats @JRP3 ... you finally did it. Any plan to change the avatar?

Thanks for posting this highly informative video from Ingineerix. It's unfortunate that some on this forum and on youtube keep promoting this battery over the OEM part.

To find out if you have a Gen 1 or Gen 2 HPWC, look at its label, visible on the side, and the (P)TPN which is the part number. If the (P)TPN ends with -E then you have a Gen 2 HPWC.

OK, same question ...do you know if the inverter being installed is new or re-manufactured?

Are they giving you a new one or remanufactured?

Very nice job. As to the cigarette butt discovery, are they even allowed to smoke on the factory floor?

I have to admit, not putting you on my ignore list long ago has been my only "stupidity". Here you go, where is that button ... ah yes ... there it is.

It did. But it's too late now :) ... It was after getting dizzy with reading multiple fanbois posts defending Tesla's obvious flaws that I read what @alstoralset posted and actually took it seriously 🤦‍♂️. My apologies to @alstoralset .

@tjv85 - What's the latest?

Much appreciated. Very helpful.

Yes, mine has a very low mileage since I don't drive it much these days, but it already has had a DU replaced @37k miles and then the HV battery replaced last summer @47k miles when it was still under warranty. In both instances, the car sat at the service center for weeks. The 90kWh pack that I...

@Barry - As an early owner like you, I've known you from the old Tesla forum and then here at TMC, am very familiar with your contribution to both forums and always enjoyed your honest take on all aspects of ownership. Good luck with the new BMW EV and please keep posting your feedback here...

It's very disingenuous for you to say this. Tesla did not admit this was a safety issue for a long time till the owners started to file complaints with NHTSA. The investigation by NHTSA started and later Tesla responded to NHTSA with their plan to recall the 8GB eMMC chips. NHTSA accepted the...

I'm aware of the moister ingress issue and the short hose above the battery on some older cars, but I was not aware that these so-called "umbrella valves" are under the pack. I did ask @chrisro the question but he never replied (Post#46). Thank you for the response.

Are there multiple AC drainage channels? What would differentiate these valves on certain drain tubes from the short AC drainage hose?

Questionable. Even true, it raises legal issues.

Any idea where these umbrella valves are and how/what to check for?

Would you elaborate on what they are?

Thanks. A picture worth a thousand words.

I'm at 2023.12.5. My font size has not changed and there is no option to select a larger font under Control ==> Display.

Same here for me and with the Mercedes (same set up).

What are we supposed to see in this pic? The water drops or different color cells?

That's the hypothesis. But, I've not seen any open pack showing the module physical layout.

Thanks. As we have noticed previously, they are skipping the kWh notation on the labels these days. The 1014116's are still being offered then!

Ray - You need to keep in mind that not everyone is a Facebook member nor wants to be. The link requires a Facebook account. Please verbalize the update instead.

As I asked above, are they going to put the correct sticker on your pack?

Did they give you that in writing? Are they going to put the correct sticker on your pack? The concern is how do you discuss this discrepancy with a potential buyer of your car in future?

The factory reset the owners do during the ownership transfers does not reset the BMS, or does it? I thought it only resets the ownership specific configs.

Do you mean using this option might trigger a failed pack message if the issue exists but not yet flagged by BMS?

You are being perfectly understood and not disagreed with. My comments are toward Tesla but included in a series of exchanges you started (post#37) when replying to my post. Let's move on now.

Being forced to go to the SC's, because you can't even make a phone call and using the app is not being helpful, is not an easy option for those owners who live far away from the SC's. Tesla's customer service model is just broken and they are not interested in fixing it. Enough being said...

The app is not the only issue. Going to the SC in hope of any face to face interaction can be another unpleasant experience. Their strategy nowadays is to avoid customer interaction and even through the app. That's the problem with Tesla customer support these days. But for the OP it's the only...

Do you think lots of hard accelerations/launches would cause this?

@tjv85 - Based on what you have provided here: Your final invoice says you paid for: HV BATTERY, 85KWH, 1.0 PACK, REMANUFACTURED, MDLS (1088815-01-D) You physically inspect the battery and this is what's installed: HV BATTERY, 70, BB, REMAN, MDLS, 70kWh, 350VDC, TESLA PART NUMBER 1088999-00-B...

In your case, if possible, you should go to your service center and talk to a manager.
