Electrified Garage and 057 Technology will likely get you a refurbished battery. I believe Tesla purposely brakes my vehicle with software updates. Software updates are a money printing machine. I think I’ve counted 5 people post in the last few hours about dead batteries and service centers...

Get out. $15,000 in repairs the moment mine came out of warranty. Non-stop repairs. Estimates go like this: $600. Revision, $1,100. Revision $1,300. Leave the SC and another alert comes on. Telsa refused recalls. Tesla refused repairs in warranty. The moment it came out of warranty...

Disregard my question a moment ago. I see the answer right here.

Hello, did anything ever happen to your steering rack or drivetrain? I got this message and the SC told me I had to replace my steering rack. This was after refusing to replace the recalled steering rack bolts. The SC said I had to wait to be notified for when I was permitted to come in to...

Thank you so very much for your quick reply. I'm grateful.

I feel trapped. It's a nightmare. They flat refuse. I don't know how to get the SC to do what they are supposed to do. It feels like the only option is to complain to NHSTA. I don't know what else to do.

Love Hector also. He serviced my Model S a few times while in W Glacier. Absolutely wonderful experience dealing with Hector.

This happened to me also. Just had to replace the drivetrain. Tesla refused to replace the recalled steering rack bolts when the Model S was under warranty and recalled. I thought the drivetrain was failing, or at the very least the drivetrain module was failing. Tesla refused to replace the...

Hi Does the vehicle need to be raised on a lift to replace the steering rack bolts? Does the vehicle need to be raised on a lift to replace the steering rack? Can either repair done without lifting the Model S?

Oh my God this exactly what I asked Elon for on Twitter about 11-months ago. I absolutely love this.

51% repair cost ratio to present value should = 100% loss.

Make a complaint to the Better Business Bureau and your State Attorney General. Depending upon all the issues that you're having you might want to make a complaint to: Tesla Warranty Page 13 through 15 Dispute Resolution Through the National Center for Dispute Settlement (NCDS) In the...

I spent $6,500 in the last 6-months repairing non-warranty covered parts in my $96,000 S. All the repairs stem from supposed electrical faults that happened after I started firmware updates. I went to the Seattle service center and asked for help finding a setting on the touchscreen. They...

I'll share a tip/trick that helped me gain about 10-miles of range in the Colorado mountains, just in case you're ever in this position again. Drive close behind a semi and you may get the extra range to get you to the next Supercharger. Wait for a semi if you have to. I drove across the...

The estimate for a steering rack that I just got mentions steel bolts and wax. Do you think that will protect the bolts? Do you think that replacing the bolts during the steering bolt recall 10-months ago could have caused the need for the new steering rack? A saw a YouTube video about...

I just got quoted $3,429.95 for a new steering rack. This brings my total to almost $6,500 in the last 10-months. Have you had any other expensive repairs? I cannot believe how expensive it is to own a Model S.

To clarify and add some left out information: The sc that charged $1,995.21 replaced 3 window regulators and the RF door regulator again (that had just been replaced the month before.

Hi Jeff, Your post says that the sc replaced your steering motor. Have I misread or misunderstood what you wrote? I didn't have any of the normal signs (grinding noise, burning smell, fluid, a dead spot, drifting or wandering) that indicate a broken steering rack. The steering was...
