I'm very tempted to take advantage of the FUSC offer but I'm still on the fence. I love reading others' rationale and thoughts on their own situations. Feel free to weigh in with your opinions on mine :) I have a 2015 MS P85D, 88K miles, AP convenience features (AP1), MCU2, with SC01. I also...

Probably not totaled. $20K-$30K repair though. Brace yourself for an extremely long repair time without your car. I had a similar repair take around 6 months.

It's basically just a short USB A to lightning cable with right-angle ends. Unfortunately, the wireless option is no longer available in the Tesla shop. I wonder why they discontinued it?

Narrower tires are generally better in snow. As long as they can support the weight rating of the X. I also loved my X-Ice 3's on my other cars. I just wore out my Pirelli snows on the X this past season so I'll be looking next year. Interested to hear how it works out for you.

No, I purchased the SC01 car privately so I never saw that contract. The SC05 was offered as a temporary incentive and my MVPA for that car has no mention of FUSC anywhere in it. Looks like @StoicKiwi said their SC01 MVPA does not mention it either. So all I am saying is when I sell my car with...

We have the data. On this forum alone there probably have been hundreds of ownership transfers of SC01 and SC05 cars. With few exceptions SC01 transfers. I have done it personally. I am not a lawyer but if it's not stated in the MVPA and that is the only legal contract then you're out of luck...

Why not buy a used set of 19s on marketplace/craigslist/ebay? I see them often for under $800 and usually with tires. Everyone loves the aesthetics of the bigger wheels but the reliability tradeoff is significant.

I am not sure where folks are confused other than the fact that Tesla made this info harder to find. I have both types of FUSC. SC01 on a 2015 S, and SC05 on a 2018 X. Option codes are visible in my Tesla account via right-click on the car image and "copy image address". SC01 is for ANY owner...

I'd rank AP1 with convenient features (turn signal to change lane) above AP3 with EAP. AP1 is confident, smooth , and never phantom brakes. Can't believe with basic AP on new models you have to disengage. I would hate that. The only thing I miss from the non-existent AP upgrade is sentry/dashcam.

Elon himself has called the X a Faberge egg and the most complex SUV ever produced. That should be a major red flag with respect to long term reliability. A higher mileage tesla also means there have been more battery cycles and you are that much closer to the MTTF on the HV battery. In 2.5...

Make sure you test drive them both. They feel very different. I wanted a 2nd Tesla and faced the same decision a new 3/Y or a used S. Test drove new M3P and MYP multiple times and ultimately bought a '15 P85D with 28K mi. and battery warranty through 6/2023 for $38K on craigslist. This was...

Navigation was set to the SC but I don't think preconditioning happens with such a low SoC. The notice never appeared and it had a solid 15 miles of driving to prep the battery. It was 55F outside which was unusually warm for this time of year. Again I think this is fairly typical charge curve...

First stop at this location last night around 9pm. Arrived at 1% SoC (lol) to get a true V3 speed test. 2 ICE cars were there, one left right away and the other idled maybe 5 minutes. Reiterating that this is really poorly designed location and will be constantly ICE'd. The way you enter the...

Wow what a disappointment. Initially I thought this was a major improvement but with these new images I think the redesign looks worse now. The body color "rear appliqué" looks more out of place than the chrome or black versions did somehow. How is this an improvement? I'm getting Honda Accord...

I think OP is referring to this item from the release notes. Not a regression in normal regen braking behavior. It's supposed to be smoother. I updated to 2022.4.5 yesterday on our P100D and can confirm it looks like the pre-Raven cars are not getting this improvement. It was not in the release...

White 100%. It goes with the Tesla futurist aesthetic. Especially in the X. Easy to keep clean even with dogs and kids.

You are probably right. I had MCU1/AP2.5 and infotainment upgraded to MCU2/AP3. I think I was just in that unfortunate build window (3/2018). Aren't people who purchased FSD with MCU1 going to end up with that unless they also buy the MCU2 upgrade?

I've had 2 MCU1 vehicles. The MCU1/AP2.5 combo was horrendous. Frequent black-screen-of-death, reboots, bugs galore. Ever since upgrading to MCU2 it is flawless. On the other hand my car with MCU1/AP1 is pretty good. I have never experienced a black screen and while not as smooth as MCU2 it's...

I've learned never to trust the estimated completion time in the Tesla app. If it's set for the end of the day just assume they will be keeping it another day or it officially says ready for pickup. Been burned by that and live 100mi from the SC. I've also stopped expecting any sort of...

Almost every wrecked X outcome I've seen makes me glad the wife and kid are safer in one. They are tanks. What speed was this impact? Do you know how many of the airbags deployed? It's hard to tell but they must have played a major role in you not sustaining any injuries.

I feel your pain and frustration. My S has been at a body shop for 4 months with a lot less damage than yours. Unfortunately I do not think your situation is unique. I've heard 6-9 months in some cases. I've basically given up on all expectations and whenever I get my car back I will rejoice.

Yeah the front bumper/fascia is the one thing I wish I could change about my 2015. I don't like the look of the aftermarket choices and I can't find any shops near me that are willing to do the retrofit with the OEM parts. I have to imagine the 2021+ front bumper will be even more difficult to...

As of now I plan on keeping my 2015 P85D beyond warranty coverage. I considered trading it in plus cash for a new 3/Y but I just don't find them very compelling. I've test driven the performance model 3's and Y's several times but I just don’t enjoy the them as much. Ride quality is lacking...

Hello fellow X owner from Erie, PA :D. I got the upgrade on our 2018 X this summer. It was $1500+500 with the radio tuner. It does take care of the eMMC issue as well as the screen yellowing. Mine also included the AP3 hardware upgrade. Infotainment Upgrade is one of the service options you can...

I don't know about rated but the stock Conti's are not really safe in snow. I tried them for a bit until hitting some adverse road camber and couldn't stop before running into a snow bank. I would not recommend it.

This location would actually have saved me from a completely drained battery once. A couple of years ago I left Erie with insufficient charge to go east on 90 for a ~150mi round trip. On the way back the route planner wanted me to go 30 minutes east in the wrong direction to charge and I ignored...

In your Tesla account on the 'manage car' details page you can see your warranty coverage.

Updated the wife's X yesterday and she is probably going to hate it. She is resistant to all changes. However, I think the major pain points are for 3/Y owners. For the S/X I can still see my tire pressure and Wh/mi on the IC just like before. I can still switch profiles and save dash cam clips...

I also live in Erie so I'll be watching for this one. I don't typically Supercharge locally but I pass this exit on I-90 several times per week. This will be a great improvement over the current Erie site. This one is more likely to get ICE'd. I wonder if they keep the current V2 site running...

I'll reserve my judgement on the yoke until I actually get to try it for myself. I will personally hold off on buying any current vehicle with one because I have to assume a minor revision will come eventually if there is obvious room for improvement in the physical design. I also having a...

That seems normal for a 90D and Tesla will probably not do anything about it. My P85D is at 232 down from 253(?) originally.

This winter I am going to try step 2 from this kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FTOEQUC/?coliid=I2F940IR4A52E9&colid=21G5JIZVTWHH6&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it and also https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0031T82NO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but no idea if is going to help or...

I've been happy with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Make sure you get the road hazard warranty ;)

Check with local car audio installers?

Well now I'm looking much more seriously into my options for a refresh front bumper. Rear ended a truck with a hitch and crunched my nosecone and hood.😭

Everyone with a 13/14/15 S will be facing a similar situation soon and after driving the Y and watching reviews of the new Model S I feel pretty confident running my '15 P85D until the wheels fall off (literally). Or until I run into a major out of warranty repair like the HV battery. My...

When you get a flat Tesla will definitely NOT tow you or fix it for free. It's expensive and they will take forever. I used my insurance tow coverage instead. 2 of 3 times I tried to use Tesla Roadside Assistance it was completely useless and frustrating.

Disappointed to hear this is still an issue with Plaid. Both my P85D and XP100D have had acceleration shudder/half shaft repairs to fix vibration issues. Is it a recurring condition or design flaw across all S/X? Model X seems particularly affected.

If you search there are a bunch of threads on this already. I contacted TSportline to ask if they are redesigning their front bumper kit to resemble the new 2021+ Model S refresh and they said "we're working on it". Personally I am not skilled enough to do the more complicated OEM bumper method...

I've been holding out on upgrading my AP1 MS but I am glad I upgraded our AP2.5 MX before this price increase. About 2 months ago I paid 2000 with HW3 and the FM/XM tuner included. I wonder what will happen to MCU1 cars when 3G goes away? I'd rather buy the Infotainment upgrade for 1500 than pay...

Same thing happens to my ICE vehicles when they sit in the garage for a long time.. Unfortunately Model S/X battery is way more difficult to access. Maybe next 12v replacement I will switch to the aftermarket LI-ion option. Will the new OEM LI-ion battery be available and backwards compatible?

Just sent my '15 Model S in for "acceleration shudder" and had the LH Front Drive Unit Clevis Mount and Both Front Halfshafts replaced. Had the same issue on our Model X last year. Vibration wasn't as bad as the X was but I'm glad they replaced it under warranty. Hoping it's a permanent fix!

Zero reliability issues with my FWD's in our 2 years of ownership. Yes, they are more complex than a regular car door. However, they have a lot more capability than any other door. They open in tight spaces like a minivan, large opening makes easy entry for passengers and car seat placement. I...

Watching this thread because I have a Model S with coils and on my previous car (BRZ) I upgraded the stock springs to BC racing adjustable coilovers. I loved the look of the lowered stance but the decreased ride comfort was significant. In my opinion the stock suspension on the S is pretty well...

I did the MCU2 upgrade last week on our X with AP2.5 and EAP and it included the HW3 upgrade for $2000 including the radio tuner. They didn't even ask me if I wanted the radio add-on but I just accepted it. It was worthwhile to me since it fixed the frequently crashing MCU1, added Theater and...

I totally agree, I'm upgrading our AP2.5 car and not the AP1 car. It seems that AP1/MCU1 is a better hardware/software match than AP2 or AP2.5 with MCU1. I have no issues with black screens or freezing on an AP1/MCU1 S, however MCU1 on our AP2.5 X is completely unreliable and frequently crashes...

Off-topic but since you brought it up, how was this handled back then? Did people get a warning it was going away? I only recently got a P85D used with Insane+ so I wish it could still be upgraded to Ludicrous somehow. Even if Tesla won't do it at a Service Center, will they sell the parts...

3/4 of your issues are hitting the one defect they have universally not handled well, MCU1 issues. My local SC has been outstanding though. They fixed the acceleration shudder issue on first request, corrected the yellow border touchscreen, replaced a front door sensor, and replaced one of those...

I was pretty happy that the refreshed X didn't make me regret owning my current '18 P100D at all. Most of the changes were what was expected and did not trigger FOMO for me. If they had made a drastic improvement to the range with 4680's or added some completely new capabilities it might be...

Congrats! I bought a cheap used 2015 P85D last December from a private party and I'm pretty happy with it overall. How is your supercharging speed? Mine seems to be "chargegated" so that is my biggest disappointment and I'm hoping it can be resolved before it's out of battery warranty period...
