Hi Robby, I'm following these directions as you've published on the Unofficial Service Manual and for the life of me, I can't get it! My radar got moved (not my doing) and when it got put back, to top right "arm" (the one without a nut) was broken off. I went ahead and tried to calibrate it...

What warranty company is this?

Apologies for posting the additional pages here instead of sending it to your email. I feel like transparency is always the best for all involved. There's lots of customers like me with questions about both warranties as we weigh our options. I did have to do a bit of back and forth to get my...

Hey Brent, My car is about 146k miles on it - I went to the XCare page and it would not give me a quote. Is this because y'all don't offer coverage for it? Will the new HV + DU be offered as additional coverage only or can it be purchased stand-alone? As merely a customer, I'd love to have the...

Oh, and when I asked about reman/new battery, the answer was based on the cost of the new battery vs reman. "Sometimes the warranty will request remanned if the shop is charging an unusually high price." I find that answer somewhat vague, as the price that Teslas charges for new is the...

Yea, any testimonial followed by a referral code is iffy to me. I'm about to buy a warranty from Evolve, although I can't find much about them here on the forums. These are the key differences between Evolve and Xcare: Evolve covers: -HV and DU -no 'official' waiting period of 30 days -zero...

I dunno what's going on with the fog lights..

YESSSS....too bad they already have my messages to the contrary, although the way their service dept is run, no one is going to look at previous messages. They don't even seem to look at messages IN the same thread that deals with your current issue.

I have a 2015 with a refresh bumper and the sensor was moved. It’s giving me the “ auto pilot is temporarily unavailable” error. Which I believe is because the radar needs to be re-calibrated in order to recalibrate it. I have to mount it in approximately the same position.

Did you ever find out where the sensor is located? Mine is slightly to the right (when looking at the car) and I’m wondering if that’s giving me issues.

These battery prices have been going down. Last few postings people have been seeing around 15k but I believe that's a "remanufactured" pack and many have been getting lucky since no remanufactured packs exist and they've gotten a new battery instead with Tesla honoring the original pricing.

It's getting put on right now... I will share some photos after I get it back!

I didn't :( Sadly I sent this company an email and they never responded back to me which I didn't see as a good sign towards excellent customer service. It made me nervous especially since the company is based in Europe. I ended up getting a refresh bumper.

What kind of adhesive did you use? I'm looking at doing this because my 2015 MS leaks on me but just a few drops after a pretty good rain.

Nope. Gave up after going back and forth with Tesla saying yes and then no three times.

Has this sold?

No, it's an aftermarket front bumper that requires a new grill (also available through them for about $90 plus shipping from what I recall). It's supposedly somewhat plug and play. Now the issue seems to be that I can't find a body shop in the Tampa area willing to do any kind of aftermarket...

I found a post by it seems like the same person or someone affiliated by that person alluding to this item on eBay...

Interested. Please send me his info. Thanks

Yea, I've done a few rounds with this. Whenever I've gotten someone to say they can do it, I go to a service center and they say it can't be done. ;(

Updated with additional pics. Partial chrome delete since first posting but is easily removable. Short trip to Orlando where we supercharged for about 45 mins. You can see charge is $0.00 due to FUSC. I mostly work from home so this car doesn’t get too many miles except for trips. Home...

No. Any warranty replacements do not extend the original car warranty, even if it it occurred on the day of expiration. If you paid for a replacement, then yes, that warranty would apply to the replacement.

Price lowered to 25k

I could try but the tech "guru" at my center says it is not possible with my car after looking into my VIN. That's what they told me.

This makes me very nervous...

Hi, I have a 70 and looking possibly buy a 2016 90D but wondering besides the dual motors (not having a large DU) and more range I'm wondering what are some of the pros and cons that I might be looking at? Seems like there's lots of potential differences between battery chemistry of the...

I have 10 months left on my warranty so this piques my interest. Did you have any signs that your battery was failing? Or just one day... poof?!

I have a 2015 70 with 140k miles, original battery but the drive unit was replaced in Oct 21 with one that has ceramic bearings - so I was told by the SA because I didn't own the car at the time.

Yea, unfortunately for me I found one of those people. They gave me a price and then the service center said that person was wrong and I couldn't do it/my car is not capable even though it VERY CLEARLY says AP 1.0 Hardware on the screen. It seems whenever I've solved this problem, it just comes...

I dunno. It's a new to me car.. service went over all the records with me verbally but I mainly was paying attention to the super important stuff like the battery and drive unit age/replacement. Are you saying the phantom drain could be the 12V needing replacement? I had Tessie for a bit but I...

Not sure. I didn't own the car at that time but was told by Service when I did the MCU2 upgrade last month. They were very nice and went over the entire service history of the car with me. You have a 70D so you don't have a large rear DU and therefore your DU "potentially" has less issues...

Bump! Price lowered 27k

Calling service is usually an exercise in frustration. If you can, show up at a service center. Wait til they're slow(ish) and ask someone nicely. =)

Gauging interest - trying to decide if I should get a new(er) car and what the market thinks this one is worth: - FUSC, transferable SC01 - Free Premium Connectivity - Upgraded MCU2 with LTE (Dec 22) - Dark blue, gray leather (real) - Sunroof, no leaks - Drive Unit replaced in Oct 21 with DU...

Ok. Let me talk to hubby. Our interior is gray so thinking we'd have to try and dye the lather black to make it blend in... I have no clue about that... lol

Can you give me a quote for shipping to 34689 please? Thank you

Really?! What don't you like about your newer S? For me the nosecone isn't my favorite and I do worry about the battery (mine is a 70, not an 85D like yours) and the larger drive unit worries me but it was replaced in Oct 21 with a unit that has ceramic bearings, so crossing my fingers that...

I have one similar to the one you sold in Oct. Leather, sunroof, FUSC, Free Connectivity, etc so my hope is if I decide to upgrade, the price drop on it will be substantially less than what we're seeing for newer models - either new or used. Ideally used because dealer fees annoy me to no end...

It seems most of the coverage/sentiment is regarding the Model Y and Model 3 since those prices cuts make those who purchased a few weeks or months ago the most "upside down" if you want to call it that. Used Model Y cuts on listings understandably on Jan 13, at sometimes drastic amounts...

Wow! l love to hear this about a 2013 p85.. have you had any drive unit issues since it's P model?

I recently bought a Model S 70 with FUSC and upgraded the MCU to MCU2 with LTE. It's more comfortable than friends' MY or M3 (2021 and 2019 respectively). Supercharging speeds are quite good (not sure how it compares to the 85) and we intend to use it mainly for road trips where we might not...

No. They will only give you a firm trade-in number after you've placed an order. Even then, the price may fluctuate depending on when you take delivery

I think its a nice option besides just making it look OEM with the upgrades that are just copies of the new style.

MCU2 has different screens so yes.

Way to go!! I love hearing those kinds of stories.

That's a good number for a Tesla Trade-in I believe... what were the other trade-in numbers like if you have any data on that for curiosity?

Intel is MCU2. A simple replacement of the screens would not say "infotainment upgrade" it would just list the screens (or similar) however that cost is somewhere around 1k if I remember correctly. For the extra $700 or so you get the faster MCU, better screens (the 'new' MCU1 replacement...

How much did you pay to have that done btw? Thank you!

Yea, to each their own. For me, it's an upgrade from the bubble. At least it looks akin to a mesh grille for an ICE car and I know it's silly to have for a car with no engine up front :)

Hubby wants to get the car ceramic coated. I wonder if they would do the nosecone for an extra fee... he says they repair the paint/chips in the car with paint so they would have it anyway.
