Update! Weird cracking sound in steering wheel is simple. It's SHIM PLATES. Just wanted to update this incase anyone else ever experiences the problem. The shim plates are located in the steering column. Replacement cost for me was $250. Happy it was something easy :)

Duuuude. Boom! You are awesome! That WORKED lol. I always stopped past the "You *must* use the app to schedule, modify, or cancel service." lol Spoke to someone and got clarification on several things AND found out my car should be ready today or Monday. :D

Additionally, I know the message is important. We are doing MCU2 upgrade and then also fixing a popping sound when turning the wheel (most likely shim bolts being replaced). But he had said "we'll contact you on the messaging system first before we proceed with doing the steering sound work so...

Tried this one already, unfortunately. Deleted app, rebooted, downloaded app, logged in, same issue. Tesla really needs to fix this problem. If they want everything to be app-based only, then the app needs to be working.... But I know they switched from text notification to app-based. Why...

Glad to hear I'm not alone in the issue. I've tried for four hours now though :(

When I click 'status', it says "looking for appointments', then very quickly displays "Failed Fetching Translation File", then gives the final error of "trying again."

I can't do anything except click the "service status" button. Won't let me view anything else or try to click anything else, other than the settings icon which doesn't show anything related. Here's a look. First page, and then the error when I click "service status"

Hey everyone, My car is at service and I do not have a phone number for them. I had a notification on my phone that said I had a new message. When I open my app and try to view it, it says "Error, try again later. Failed fetching service tracker." I've tried logging out, deleting the app...

Yeah I don't think I'd proceed with it if it weren't for my leaky IC. And I appreciate you letting me know, service did inform me of this. It wasn't a concern to me as I never even use the AM/FM/XM and just stream. They did mention it could be added on for $500 extra, if anyone is curious...

Spoke with service today. Instead of doing the mcu1 warranty, I'm going to just do the mcu2 upgrade which will also swap out the IC. Only makes sense. He said the IC replacement is already $1400, vs if I just do the MCU2 upgrade (and they have to replace it anyway), it's $1500.

Thank you. I have the MCU warranty to do, so they said they can just upgrade to MCU2 for an extra cost, which I'll do, since that replaces the IC. I appreciate the info, sorry to hear you are still having issues :(

Is this a cosmetic only issue? Or does the screen eventually fail? I'm having this issue and the cosmetic of it doesn't bother me, I'm more worried about being stranded.

Thank you. So do you think that it's failing? Or is this fairly standard? I am heavily considering MCU2. Service quoted me $1500 when I go in to do the warranty. Wasn't sure if it was worth spending the extra on it. Glad to hear it's night and day difference; plus you get the LTE, Netflix...

Little bit worried I'll be stranded at some point. I have a (new to me) 2015 P85D with only 38K miles. The instrument cluster has the bubbles behind it and I can see those bubbles are leaking a bit at the bottom (where they're leaking to, I don't know, somewhere behind the cluster I guess)...

Hey everyone, So I recently just purchased a Model S and, when looking at the pictures, I thought the middle seat's armrest was just folded down. When I picked up the car I realized I had the heated executive rear seats with center console. Unfortunately we need a five-seater and not a...

Anybody have this happen to them before? Said my repair was $90. Cool! I clicked approve. It went onto the next step and said they were ready for my date. Later in the day, when I went to send them a message with a question about something, I noticed that it was gone and back to Step 1. 😏😒

I don't think they will. They already completed the transfer and it's in my name now and showing the supercharging on my spec page. Not sure why they'd later go back in and remove that. I think I'm good to go.

You are correct, sir! I am grandfathered in since mine is a 2015. Ownership is completed and it says on my account "Lifetime supercharging". Before the ownership transfer was done, I went to a supercharger to test it and it worked. Here's what originally happened. I drove it five hours home...

Gotcha. Thanks

Heavily considering starting up a dealership. I think the price of these cars might continue to climb and it might be a good opportunity to jump in and offer a tesla third-party dealer. Was looking at a lot of auction cars, but most of them are in the same situation mine was; they don't come...

Thanks for the info

Curious if they are upgrading the car's emmc recall with the MCU2 from Intel or if they're just replacing it with the same exact thing (which can then be prone to failure, yet again). (Plus it would be nice to get the new features on my '15)

Yay it's been added to my account! Just got email confirmation. Put in the request on Friday so that was pretty quick. Just got into the app and love seeing all the different features on there.

lol. How long do you guys think the ownership transfer will take? I have a lot of long range driving I need to do but cant use the superchargers so it's really frustrating. They told me 3-5 days but I've read from some people it could be weeks :(

Was at service this morning to have them get me out of valet mode; he listened to the noise and said it's not a safety concern and most likely something in the steering column.

The crappy thing is I did see the previous owners info on the nav, but in valet, it doesnt show. I took it up to service and they were able to get me out of valet mode :) Unfortunately no one can expedite my documents though.

I appreciate it Skipdd. Yeah, that's true. I think that if I was already registered as the owner and wasn't running into problems, these features would seem like great ideas to me. But being on the opposite end is definitely frustrating. Haven't heard of the pin to drive feature. Glad...

Another member, from another thread, had said: "If it clicks/pops while the car is stationary as well, it def is the steering rack bolts that need replacing/shims added by the SB @ShawnA mentioned. My P85D was affected shortly after I picked up the car. Ranger performed the fix." Curious if...

Have you guys ever heard this before? Basically when I'm going really slow (1-5 mph) and I turn the steering wheel, it makes this weird crack crack crack sound. I've read multiple threads on it - some say u-joint, some say control arm, some say its just some tightening of bolts that needs to...

It really is silly, to me, that you can enter valet mode without a pin and then can't exit it. And it's so easy to accidentally hit that button since it's right underneath your profile. You'd think it would say "Enter Valet Mode? Please input 4 digit pin". Rather than just going right into...

EVRider - I did try the reset several times and unfortunately it didn't work. I have not done a factory reset from the screen as, honestly, I'm terrified at this point that something will happen and it won't turn back on and I'll need a tow. Sounds silly, I know, but I dealt with so many...

It's in my name on the registration. Will they help once they see my registration? Or do I literally need to wait until it reflects on my Tesla account? I can show my paperwork

Additionally, the car was purchased at auction, so the dealer has no clue what the pin is. And I have no clue who the previous owner was; can't find any info, tesla won't release the info of course for privacy reasons.

Hoping someone can help me here. I have work in the morning and am a third-party owner that accidentally put the car into Valet. I called Tesla support yesterday and they told me to "ask online" about my current issue, they were not able to help outside of suggesting I visit a service center...
