What a nightmare. Tesla Bakersfield SC left my MX P90D at less than 10% SOC for the duration of its 11 day stay, even after I asked them to please charge it. SC representative reported that he asked and eventually pleaded with the technicians to plug it in and that they, "blew him off." During...

Not the rear drive unit this time. This time it appears to be the heater.

Dropped our 2016 X P90D at Bakersfield SC on Monday. Got diagnosis yesterday. BMS_w172 and BMS_u008 this time attributed to Heater - Front PTC LHD GEN3 PTC HTR, EMC FIX (1060432-00-E) $550 Part info taken from SC estimate The heater isn't a drive unit component so I get to pay for this one...

dskid, I can relate. Tipping my hand now. With 30 Model X owner responses, 21 (70%) reported 2 or less SC visits in 2021. Our 2016 X P90D had 3 SC visits between May and December. - Rear suspension links (May '21) - Coolant leak (Sep '21) - Battery heater failed while at SC for the coolant...

Some interesting perspectives shared via DM from owners who have had multiple X's. Each of them suggest the newer models have required less maintenance than their older versions. Please reply and share your thoughts. Agree or disagree?

Debates are raging about the accuracy of third-party assessments of the Model X's reliability. Please share your firsthand experience here. If you are not a current or prior Model X owner, please do not respond.

Battery heater was replaced in October 2021. How am I feeling about reliability? We have had three (this will make four) battery/drivetrain repairs under warranty in the last nine months.

They're back. BMS_w172 and BMS_u008 appeared again today with associated "Acceleration and performance reduced" and "Vehicle may not restart" alerts. For those keeping score at home, this vehicle returned from maintenance for this exact same issue less than six weeks ago after Bakersfield SC...

Tesla SC Bakersfield replaced my rear drive unit (RDU).

Picked up X from Tesla SC Bakersfield today. They replaced the rear drive unit (RDU). It drives like a dream. They said the issue with the RDU they removed was electrical in nature, but I would swear the new motor feels smoother. If you see that BMS_u008 and BMS_w172, get it to the service...

Just posted a description of issue with 2016 X P90D in a thread begun by a model S owner. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/6154291/
