    That says after delivery.

    November/December Waiting Room

    What constitutes as “refusing delivery”? I was told by the salesperson I could get 1 time rejection. We had an early baby and had to do that. Where does it say you will lose FUSC?

    Should I abandon my Model S? New Battery Pack is needed.

    It ended up costing way more money to fix. I spent $25k last year and sold it this week. The total loss after fixing everything was $13k.

    2014 $500 eBay Bumber Refresh

    I purchased a $500 eBay refreshed bumper and had it installed and painted by a body shop (Charged $1300). The number was from Ukraine and arrived in good condition, although it was a heavy fiber-class replica. The front grill required some modification to fit and is looking good now. I have...

    Should I abandon my Model S? New Battery Pack is needed.

    I live in LA and the Tesla supercharging network is massive. Having owned a number of non-Tesla EVs I can honestly say that I would not recommend one unless you can charge at home. The number of electric cars in LA overwhelms the charging infrastructure, which is compounded by EV and ICE holes...

    Should I abandon my Model S? New Battery Pack is needed.

    I didn’t expect to own this car for 40K. I wouldn’t have bought the car if I hadn’t been told it had a new battery. The other big item is the drive unit and that eas factored into the price. I have owned 4 BMW I3s, 2 Fiat 500es a Volt and a plug in Prius. For my usage the Tesla supercharging...

    Should I abandon my Model S? New Battery Pack is needed.

    I I actually sold my Model 3 last year! I would prefer a car with unlimited supercharging as I can’t charge at home.

    Should I abandon my Model S? New Battery Pack is needed.

    I like the car but really have never had a chance to enjoy it. I got the car because I thought it would last a long time, since it was in good condition and was supposed to have a new battery, and had free supercharging. I figure if I had the drive unit and MCU replaced it would be like a new car!

    Should I abandon my Model S? New Battery Pack is needed.

    The quote suggests that it would be a 75. Not sure if that is then unlocked.

    Should I abandon my Model S? New Battery Pack is needed.

    The bottom line is I bought a 2014 S60 (177K miles) for 22K this year and spent a further 8-9K on the car. So with tax, I have spent about $34K on the car so far (after-tax). After the drive unit repair, the car no longer starts and Tesla is saying I need a new battery, which I can get...

    Buying a used model s

    I bought a model s 60 2014 that was out of warranty 10 weeks ago! Don’do it! It’s been an absolute money pit for me and still is not driving. If I fix it the. When all is done I could be looking at what was a 22k car costing over 50k. A 75 or higher is a must have for these cars and will...

    I work in IT and when things break the first question is what changed..... I agree, it seems they broke it and had the audacity to return the car still broken while charging me an additional $1K for the pleasure. I am waiting to hear back from Tesla still. They have been diagnosing it for 2...

    The place actually reconditions the existing drive unit. So they put ceramic bearings in and make some other "improvements". Also the car is a 2014.

    Thank you for your detailed response. Of all the people I have spoken with in the last 2 weeks, your team has been the most helpful and the most data drive and detailed. Thank you for being a source of information I can trust, during a time when making expensive decisions require having good...

    I am speculating based on limited information. I spoke with Gruber, 057, QC Charge and EV Fixme and 2 of them said they have seen MCU2 be more sensitive to underlying battery issues. I was also told that with MCU 1 it is possible to silence errors. The other change I have is my Drive Unit was...

    Tesla is telling me that I need to pay $250 an hour for diagnostic work. My car is out of warranty. Are you getting the same?

    Do you have MCU 1 or 2? I had my battery diagnosed by Tesla and they said it was good and then did the MCU upgrade. The car has only been driven twice since the upgrade.

    I'm having the BMS and GTW errors and can't start the car. This happened this weekend after not having had the car for 10 weeks. The Drive Unit was replaced by QC Charge and MCU was replaced by Tesla in the last 10 weeks. This weekend I got the car back and started it up for the first time...
