Awesome. Thanks for the update and I'm glad to hear that worked as I almost had to do that (turned out the PTC heater needed to be replaced, not the fuse).

Just curious, what did you try to do when you opened the dcdc converter?

Yes I have an early model s with gen 1 dc dc. I am aware of the fuse issues, which I could fix myself. However the Tesla tech told me the fuses are fine and it’s something internal. Now knowing this, if I still had the car I would send it in for repair in the link you sent. Or I would swap it...

Thanks for letting me know! I think I can get reimbursed for the tow.

The diagnosis fee was basically for 2 hours of labor to find the issue. I don't know what I'd be on the hook for, I haven't approved the new estimate. I only approved the diagnosis which was around $300 before this quote.

Does this invoice seem right for out of warranty repair? Issue: 10 days ago I applied an update while parked in my garage. After it was "successful" I no longer could control the car through the app and there was no connection. The doors could open using the key fob, and all lights worked...

Sorry for the bill. Guess I got lucky. I was ready to argue that they should have caught issues with it before as it’s been degrading for some time. Also, I just saw this: Beware: Older Tesla Model S Motor Might Fail If Driven In Rain

What was the fix? Getting same issue.

If your heat works some of the time, like in my case, then it is likely the heater core. Try blasting it on high for 5 minutes to let it cycle through to the banks and maybe some of the banks will still be working.

I have same model. Previous owner replaced battery in 2018 under warranty. I don’t know the details but I’d assume it degraded significantly or failed like yours. So it seems to me that the early battery packs are more prone to failure.

SC called me today and told me it's covered under warranty but will take 1-2 weeks longer to replace. :oops:🥳🙌

I have a similar problem to OP on my 2013 Model S85 built 3/13 so it's just a few months out of warranty. There were no signs of this issue before hand (no grinding noises). I heard a loud "thunk" and then no more power was available to the wheels, just a "whirring" sound. No other problems...

Yes straight from eBay. Advertised as new. Still working great! 🔥

2013 Model S here. Had issues with heater working intermittently, blowing cold air most of the time. I just did the replacement using the info and pictures in this forum almost exactly as instructed by ElectricStu. Replaced with part 1041265-00-E. A few more things to add: Need a deep socket...
