When that was posted I didn't think that much about it, but I wonder if the SC was unsure which kit was needed for the vehicle and just added 2 separate upgrade kits to the estimate so they could have both ordered & in stock for the installation. They will do that, and then just remove the...

Yeah, over 1k for FM...nah

To remove the bolts for the upper control arm, you have to remove the air strut

Air suspension?

They faced the bolt that way for a reason. The suspension is assembled before the battery is installed. By installing the bolt away from the pack, it reduces the likelihood of the tip damaging the pack when it is inserted.

If it's the one I am thinking of you have to cut the head off of the bolt. The new bolt would have to be inserted from the other side and a nut put on the side you cut the head off. That is what the SC does.

As to replacing in pairs, it's up to you. If you are replacing suspension parts the logic is that if one has worn out, chances are the other side isn't far behind. If you haven't had any other symptoms other than one side has started sinking, then the strut probably has some surface rust that...

Just one strut leaking? I swapped out the front passenger air strut & upper control arm on mine earlier this year. It is pretty easy, and shouldn't require an alignment. EDIT: Tesla wanted $990 USD +labor for just one air strut, and I was able to find an NIB OEM one on eBay for $325 at the...

Definitely complain about that. Your 8yr/Unl battery warranty should have covered it.

Being you have a 2017, you shouldn't have any charge since the battery warranty would still be in force.

That panel is a real pita!! Definitely swap out those heart clips, as they get really weak after use.

According to the EPC it is BOLT,PF,M6x12,[98],G1409 - 1008842-00-A

You loose the ones that were there?

How far away is Tesla? They will sell you the new motor for $70USD +tax...(price as of April, 2023) HIGH FORCE CINCHING ACTUATOR(100354900-D)

Sadly it will continue to show that without the pinch motor communicating back to the MCU. How much for the pinch motor on eBay? Also, used or new?

Yep, the Frunk is strictly manual operation until that is swapped out.

The "warning" itself isn't triggered by any active monitoring the car performs, but instead is activated by Tesla based on the type of fuse they indicate was installed in the vehicle, and the date it was put into service. The vehicle is unable to measure the voltage of the battery installed in...

Put in a powered Frunk kit and that will work too 😉. I have had the EVOffer one on my 2017 S75D for 2yrs and use it daily.

This couldn't be further from the truth.

As long as the problem doesn't have any data logged as a result from it, they couldn't know. And if it did, who's to say that wasn't the first time you had available in your schedule to have it looked at.

First they told me to reach back out if it hadn't been completed within 14d, which it hadn't. Then when I reached back out, they told me the warranty department was processing the refunds & they had escalated a request to them. They then said it should be processed and I would receive...

IDK, their tiny hands would be better suited to accessing the harness you need to disconnect in order to release the latch. /s

Nope, and it's starting to piss me off. First the SC told me they would request it and if I hadn't heard back or received it in 14d to call back, then they said 5hey submitted it to the team that handles it and I would get a call in 24h regarding the status. Now they are dodging my calls and...

What he said... the $300-$500 quote is for the HV Battery 2.0 series and not the 1.0/1.5 variants.... TLDR, they have to pull the HV battery on the older ones since the fuse is on top. Tesla learned from this and moved the fuse to the underside of the battery for the 2.0 variant. With 2.0 and...

Called the SC this morning, and confirmed that Tesla will be refunding anyone who had to pay to have the Pyro Fuse replaced as a result of this. They didn't have an ETA on when it would occur, but that would be refunded as it does fall under the 8yr HV Battery warranty.

They update the estimate or invoice to show that yet?

My SC tried to do the same, so I brought up the fact that the warning was not from the vehicle, but was pushed out from Tesla's side.

They just finished replacing the pyro fuse, $312 with taxes included.

@Tracy Anderson bring up that diagnostic fee... they don't have anything to "diagnose" as this is a message generated by Tesla based on the age of the pyro fuse installed in the battery pack, and not due to anything the car is detecting. They had that on my estimate, but removed it today when I...

Maybe the "activate" button has to do with myQ... With it missing, do you have the option showing up to link a myQ account @Carlos Danger?

I think that option was called "Executive Seating"...

IIRC, models manufactured before July 1st, 2018 have it for life, and possibly some later builds that got it as a promo.

It IS possible... I purchased a 2017 Model S 75D in 2021 that has it for life.

I was looking on AliExpress and found a seller who was making a similar T-harness to what I wanted for the spare 12v circuit in front, only they had jumpers on the wrong pins and using different gauge wires. I sent them a message asking if they would make one with the correct gauges & with...

I thought Tesla had neutered the used warranty program in 2019, but I was wrong about the date as it looks like it was in October 2020. I wasn't trying to impune your credibility, calm down. The invoice doesn't say what warranty it was covered under, and coupled with the the date mix up, it is...

In my case the emergency release wouldn't work as the cinch motor was locked up tight, and when you tried to pull the release it wouldn't budge.

Used warranty is only the remainder of the 4yr 50k new warranty + an additional 12 mo/10k mi. They had a 2016, so the new warranty would have been expired and the 12mo used would have then expired in 2021

So they covered it under an ESP, or under the standard battery warranty?

With that being said, I just now got a response stating it has been reassigned to a SC, for which the first appointment is 28 days from now 😠 For me, the only options are a SC that is 148mi away, or the next closest one that is 257mi away. They REALLY need more locations.

No. It appears the change is that a new service request which defaults to mobile is then vetted first before getting a scheduled time, avoiding those slots being taken by tickets that would require a SC, or that may not require an appointment.

Right after my last reply, I was saw that I able to submit the service request. It auto selected Mobile, but with the new process it doesn't allow you to "schedule" it until it is reviewed by the mobile techs. This morning they acknowledged it, and allowed me to select a Mobile appt on 9/6 so...

Ain't that the damn truth!!! They overcharged me $500 USD + tax when I got my MCU2 upgrade done, and it took over 12 months to have it credited. In that process, they said they had to refund the entire charge process the correct amount, but they ended up charging the wrong card so I had to have...

If you can't see the earring, I would try a flexible grabber tool (something like this) & a USB Endoscope (like this). Both are super cheap, and come in really handy sometimes.

The original seal between the fixed pane (or quarter pane depending on what you want to call it) changed sometime after my 2017 S75D was built. Last year a deer t-boned my car, and destroyed the drivers side mirror, dented both front & rear drivers side doors, and barely bent the frame the...

Yep that's the Female Connector 31372-1000 I was talking about. Those pins provide a constant 12v 10A circuit to the Liftgate Control Module for those vehicles with a power liftgate. I made a T harness (34695-0100-->31372-1000) with the necessary connectors and terminals from Mouser.com & some...

My battery warranty isn't up for another 18mo. Will see what Tesla says once they close the ticket that was previously in progress when the alert occurred.

Good luck with that... If the fuse fails, they won't be paying for it

2017 (Feb) S75D 93K, just got the warning yesterday

Fair warning, the connector is not always the bottom right one, as my liftgate module was on the left instead of the right. If you don't hear clicking from the liftgate, try the other connectors ;)
