    Model S Plaid -- Battery Failure -- Day 1

    I was notified this afternoon that my Plaid was ready for pickup three weeks after drop off. But, immediately after receiving the notification, I received notification of an appt for next week. I asked if that was for some kind of follow-up check out and was informed that there was a problem...

    Model S Plaid -- Battery Failure -- Day 1

    Not the updated I was hoping to post today. Car remains at Tesla Kansas City. HV pack arrived on Wednesday and they planned to have it complete and back to me on Thursday. Then it would be by Friday at 4pm. This afternoon they indicated that it would be ready for pickup as soon as the...

    Model S Plaid -- Battery Failure -- Day 1

    Thanks. Current estimate is that battery could arrive Sept 13th (which would be 3 weeks from drop off). Feels very squishy though and Service Center still doesn't have a firm date. One interesting side note, my loaner a white 2017 S 75 actually has gotten a lot of positive comments...

    Model S Plaid -- Battery Failure -- Day 1

    Picked up my Red Plaid today with 19inch wheels (told first 19" delivery at my Service Center) with 4 miles on it! Delivery experience has gradually gone down hill (my 4th Tesla) and this experience was by far the worst. You purchase a $130K car and expect to see someone other than the 18...

    Model S Battery Failure - Achilles Heel

    My 2017 Model S 100D with 40,000 miles suddenly started flashing warnings last week and had towed to Tesla Service Center. Diagnosis was battery failure due to water seepage under a fuse cover which Tesla attributes to an impact to this fuse cover which cracked the plastic below. While there...
