Since my car wasn't functional I didn't have the time to research this before going ahead with the repair :( As an update, the Tesla SC maintains that both the rear calipers were replaced, and they actually offered to provide me with the old parts (without me asking for the specifically). I'll...

Thanks! Perhaps the approval of the original estimate is all that they require. The original estiamte was ~$1700 and then the final invoice was slightly higher at ~$1710, but perhaps authorization isn't required if it's within a certain threshold of the original estimate. My memory is bad...

OK thanks -- I took their word on it since I was in a hurry to get my car back. I thoguht I read something similar online, but it coudl have been misinformation. Oh yes, you're right, you have a good eye! The pics in my original post are from when I got home that night, but I thought they...

Oh boy, I thought I was just being paranoid. I didn't think there could be a risk of an actual Tesla Service Centre billing for works/parts not completed? I messaged about it last night and they sent me a curt one-liner response saying "The rear calipers were replaced." There are actually...

Hey everyone! I had a very obvious leak in my rear caliper where brake fluid would spray out of the wheel area when pressing the brake pedal. Tesla's estimate was to replace both rear calipers for $1700, but when I picked up the car after hours the "new" calipers (1007889-01-C...

At 7PM today I noticed my LTE stop connecting as well, but WiFi connects no problem. Rebooting doesn’t help. 2015 Model S, Cambridge, ON.

Anyone have any ideas? 🙂

Hi everyone, I have a 2015 Model S P85DL and I find it usually takes me a couple of attempts to unlock the charge port. Here's the sequence I have to do to remove the charger cable from the cahrge port: Attempt #1: I press the charger cable button I hear the charge port unlock (but it...

Thanks! Since I have a 2015 P85DL, then I guess a read drive unit might be in my future sometime :( I have warranty until August 2028, so if it's going to fail, hopefully it's before that :P

Are there certain model years that aren't impacted by drive unit failures as much as other model years?

Thanks for the offer, but being a Canadian our telecom rates for calling the US are beyond stupid haha! Hopefully your sad story has improved! I rarely to a Ludi launch -- mainly when introducing someone to the car for the first time. But it's nice to know it's there when I want it :D But...

Thanks everyone for your help throughout my battery replacement incident! As an update, here's a chronology of my experience to date for my in-warranty replacement in case it helps other people :) I was pleasantly shocked at how quickly Tesla was able to repair the vehicle! 2023-01-18 -- 2015...

Thanks for the suggestion! When you say "less power", do you mean that I can only get my Ludicrous power if all 90 kWh are unlocked? I got an invoice that they install the 90 kWh pack (1014116-00-C) , and I can see that at 90% charge it was at 407 kms (254 mi). Even when the car was brand...

Ah, thanks! I called the SC and apparently they did actually swap the battery last night, and it should be ready tomorrow. So fast! I’m thinking I got the 90 kWh battery because in TeslaFi I can see that it charged to 406 kms of range at 90%, whereas I only used to get about 345 kms at 90%...

Thanks! Good to know, thanks! I've heard that Elon was trying to get the abttery pack swap time down to 90 seconds back before superchargers were a thing, so maybe 1HR 15MINS is possible haha! But I'm still skeptical that they actually had a new battery shipped that fast. There was a crate...

Yeah -- I'll keep peopel updated on what happens!

I got the same "hv-battery-replacement__alert_secondary" error code on pretty much the same day as the OP, but thankfully under warranty still. I towed the car to Tesla on Jan 20. Tesla keeps changing their service completion time estimate -- originally it was Feb 14, then Feb 1, and then last...

Interestingly enough, I'd describe it more as a "poof!" -- there were no warning signs whatsoever. In fact, I thought it was impressive how little battery degradation I had over the 3.5 years that I owned the car (which I bought pre-owned from my neighbour). I guess having little battery...

Interesting. I actually already swapped the rear suspension parts on my own dime in December (but installed by an independent mechanic), so there's probably nothing they have to do related to the suspension. I'm still really curious about the impacts to Ludicrous -- I'm really hoping it's...

Thanks! If it's close to Ludicrous, that would be fine by me as well! I just wan't sure if it would feel like it's downgraded to a regular P85D, or if it feels more like something inbetween a P85D and a P85DL. If it's something inbetween, I'd be OK wiht that as a tradeoff for all the other...

Thanks for sharing the pics and your experience! With your new 90 kWH 350V battery pack (1014116-00-C), do you still have Ludicrous mode available? Your signature seems to say P85D instead of P85DL, so I'm not sure if you changed it. Does it still accelerate as quickly as it did with the old...

I'm a little confused -- didn't Telsa make a P90D Ludcrous back in 2016 that had a 350V battery? How did they get Ludicrous specs on that car? 2016 Tesla Model S (facelift 2016) P90D Ludicrous 90 kWh (532 Hp) Dual Motor AWD | Technical specs, data, fuel consumption, Dimensions

Thanks for the clarification :-) The way it was explained to me, they order the suspension parts as a precaution, in case they're needed (but said that they might not absolutely be needed). I guess I have to wait and see haha! Is 350V a newer design of a 90 kWh battery? Something that kind...

My battery had excellent range, but I guess I'm learning that range doesn't necessarily translate to health . I'm really hoping that my replacement is healthier :) I'm definitely under warranty -- so far Telsa has been great with respect to the towing, providing me a loaner, and quickly...

Hi again, My new service appointment was updated with a new estimate nearly identical to the first, except that they removed one suspension link (that was probably added to the original estimate by accident) REAR UPPER LINKSUSPENSIONASSEMBLY - DUALMOTOR(1027426-00-A) Everything else in the...

Thanks for the technical explanations! I forgot to try putting the NOCO into manual override (which I think is what you meant by Boost Mode). I think I tried pressing/holding that button once, but nothing changed with the other LEDs (ie the LEDs were still “chasing” and the boost LED was still...

I subscribed to TeslaFi since I purchased the car, and it's "Battery Degradation Report" and it shows that my range exceeds the Fleet. At least I have this data in case the replacement battery, whatever it happens to be, doesn't perform as well as my prior battery for capacity or charge speed...

Thanks everyone! That would be amazing! The estiamte was pretty clear about the part number though --> ASY,HV BATT,85KWH, 1.00 S3,BB,DUMO,REMANUFACTURED,MDLS(1088934-01-E). As luck would have it, I actually already replaced those links with an independent mechanic just a month ago -- if...

Hey! My 2015 Model S P85DL high voltage battery just died, and thankfully I still have 8MO of warranty! Is anyone familiar with the refurb battery pack they’re ordering? ASY,HV BATT,85KWH, 1.00 S3,BB,DUMO,REMANUFACTURED,MDLS(1088934- 01-E) Is there an opportunity to upgrade the battery...

Quick update: I tried getting the MCU to wake up using a lithium booster pack (NOCO GB70) on the service terminals, but no luck :( I experiementing by opening/closing the driver door and number of times, and then I saw the screen flash on and then immediately off -- so I thought there maybe be...

Thank you! I'll try the jump to at least get into tow mode!

I did try to drive it, but the gear selector doesn't do anything at all :(

Thanks! Yeah, I defintiely let Roadside Assistance know abot the parkade issue. They won't let me schedule an appointment in advance. I'm out of the city today, so I'll try calling them again tonight. I'm worried that they'll damage the car dragging it out the there. I just replaced the...

Thanks! I’m under warranty for the repair but not the tow. It’s a bit of a process — roadside assistance won’t “schedule” a tow for a time when the parking garage isn’t busy 😬 Is there any way I can “jump” the vehicle for 60 seconds to at least get into tow mode, or even better drive out of...

The Tesla rep in the Tesla App chat jsut told me to tow my car to the Service Centre -- but didn't give any advice on how to applish that if I can't get into tow mode :S Any advice? :)

Hey everyone! Eek! I can't get my 2015 Model S P85DL to wake up today :( Here' s the sequence of events: Exhausted, I was about to leave work really late (11PM) and went into the Tesla app to turn on the cabin heat before walking to my car. I couldn't get the Tesla app to wake up the car...

HI everyone, It looks like I'm due to replace all rotors and pads on my 2015 Model S P85DL. I have a mechanic who can do the brake job, but would you buy the rotors and pads direct from Tesla? Or can you get the exact same Brembo parts for cheaper somewhere else? Or woudl you recommend a...

@Pandalus , would you happen to have an update on how your A/C situation turned out? I'm goign through something similar where the SC wants to replace both the compressors and the line on a 2015 Model S :( Thanks!

Those buttons were the only way to maintain the zoom setting too — the pinch method is a temp zoom. Hopefully someone knows where it went 🙂

I love the "spin-the-wheel" thing haha! Based on Tesla's statement, I should have received at least $1629 (and perhaps the tax to bring it to $1841) since that was the cost of an MCU1 repair at the time. I never received an email, even thogh I got the $1460 cheque in the mail. Is it worth...

As a follow-up to my immediately-prior post, based on Tesla's description on their website FAQ, I thought I would have received $1841 CAD (i.e. the price I was quoted for the MCU1 repair in July 2020): Thanks!

Whoa, how did you get so much! I'm located in Ontario Canada and just got my refund cheque for $1460 CAD; however, there was no letter or email explaining the amount. My MCU1 failed in July 2020 and I elected to upgrade to MCU2 at the time, rather than paying a signficant amount to repair the...

Thanks for sharing that! I'm looking through my email but I can't find that :S The only email I can find is the original "Warranty Adjustment Program - Touchscreen Component" email that I received on 2020-11-30 stating "Our records how that you own, or previously owned, a Model S/X that was...

Hey everyone! I registered back in early March but haven't heard anything since. I'm trying to search my email for a confirmation but can't seem to find anything. Does anyone know the subject line or something of the confirmation email they received when they registered? Or a screenshot of...

I had the MCU2 upgrade completed in July 2020 after my MCU1 died. The online form recognizes the form, but when I try to submit the form I get an error. Hopefully their systems are just weird at the moment?

I'm excited to try this out! With the pandemic I only drive my car like once a week, and not typically at night, so I haven't noticed yet!

I was really happy to get this message too! My MCU1 died and I paid about $3800 CAD to upgrade to MCU2 rather than paying about $1600 CAD to repair/replace my MCU1. I'd be pretty happy to be reimbursed for the $1600 CAD cost of the MCU1!

It shocks me how much the Model S can hold! The guys at the hardware store warehouse thought I was crazy thinking that I'd attempt to put two huge window wells into the back. I told them confidently, "don't worry, they'll fit.". They were shocked when they both fit in with lots of room to...

2015 Model S with the MCU2 upgrade — my rear camera also became useless at night after the upgrade, and it was fine before. Tesla service told me 2MO ago to wait for a software update

The same thing for me -- absolutely no turn signals (i.e. no indicators on the dash, no signal sound, and no signal lights for other motorists to see). I still had my hazard lights, so I used my hazards to somewhat signal turns (to at least distinguish myself from BMW drivers).
