    Need Help: Rear Drive Unit Replacement $6k

    My cousin has a 2014 P85 w/109k miles on it. He just had the pyro fuse in that car replaced 2 weeks ago. We both received phone calls from Tesla sales inquiring about moving our free supercharging to new cars a week before our failures. We were just joking about remote shutdowns.......or was it...

    Need Help: Rear Drive Unit Replacement $6k

    This right here...this is my biggest fear in all of this. I've been a Recurrent member since I bought the car and my battery seems to be ok according to them. But who's to say that doesn't change the day after I cut this check for the LDU? I had planned to let the S go after the 1st of the year...

    Need Help: Rear Drive Unit Replacement $6k Check that thread where I've been communicating with some other members about this issue. A couple of them are telling me that the "u" version has been altered. My information comes from there alone, I'm unsure. I just got the revised estimate with the...

    RDU replacement, is 1002633-01-N too old?

    I'm dealing with this right now....2014 60kw 131k miles. I bought the car about 2 years ago, less then 1 year off a LDU warranty replacement. Last week I got the "vehicle may not start".

    Need Help: Rear Drive Unit Replacement $6k

    New estimate arrived this morning, this time with a reman LDU. I'll be dropping it off Monday morning and we'll tussle over the loaner situation at that point. Your post made me feel a little better about it all seeing that the intended reman replacement LDU is indeed the "U" version. The NEXT...

    Need Help: Rear Drive Unit Replacement $6k

    I'm seeing this now. I just moved to Arizona from Indiana this past April. I've had my car at the SC in Castleton, IN on more then 1 occasion for small things. Those repairs were all sub $1k fixes, It was out of warranty every time and I was offered a loaner everytime. This time I'm being asked...

    Need Help: Rear Drive Unit Replacement $6k

    I had thought they were identical units. When I pressed "Jason" the virtual diagnostic tech about the difference in cost for the 2 part #'s he had no answer this morning. He kept stating that taxes, labor rates, good will, etc. could play a part in the cost difference. Lol, I wasn't having it. I...

    Need Help: Rear Drive Unit Replacement $6k

    I'm wondering what the additional $1500 is going to for my 2014 60 quote? Mine shows $600 and change for the unit and then $6k for an assembly at the end. I'm quite positive they didn't install some special assembly in my 2014 60!!!

    Model S 2014 - active alerts just in service mode

    Good guess! Shortly after posting I got a message from the service representative. They say it's coolant in the drive unit and quoted me $7500 parts and labor. The kicker to me is that the drive unit was replaced under warranty about 2 to 2.5 yrs ago now. If I pay them the 8k then the same...

    Need Help: Rear Drive Unit Replacement $6k

    Just stumbled upon this thread whipe searching for alternatives to the $7.5k estimate Tesla is quoting me for the replacement of the LDU. 2014 60 with 131k miles. I had no idea that this was a known issue. The drive unit was replaced by the previous owner ~ 1 year before I bought it, so less...

    Model S 2014 - active alerts just in service mode

    I'm unsure about the age of the 12 volt battery. I've had the car for 2 years now and I've not replaced it. I bought it from a dealer, found the previous owner by happenstance a few weeks after purchase and asked about everything except the 12 volt battery. I was under the impression that'd I'd...

    Model S 2014 - active alerts just in service mode

    My fault. I meant low coolant warning....but there's more as of yesterday that has me a bit worried. So in keeping with this thread all of the errors the OP spoke of are still present. Everything is working fine, louvers and all. I topped off the coolant a few weeks ago and stopped short of...

    Model S 2014 - active alerts just in service mode

    Thank god I found this thread. I got a low coolant temp warning today, 1st issue I've had since owning my 2014 MS. It prompted me to go into the service screen and I freaked out inside when I saw the huge list of faults. My louvers work just fine also. I'm going to pull the frunk to find where...
