Received check this morning for 1200. Repair was done November 2020, reimbursement filed early March.

Has anyone been contacted by Tesla who has already had their mcu1 replaced due to Emmc failure about a refund? The wording on their faq said people would be contacted by or before February. I tried asking two weeks ago and got some snarky response from a fanboi.

Yup. Can I ask my question now or do you want to move the goalposts further down?

Has anyone who paid for the expensive mcu replacement after the emmc failure been contacted by Tesla regarding reimbursement yet?

Imgur Nope the only thing on my app is a grey out picture of my car with a white bar on the bottom that says connecting... I can look at the app settings menu which has Inbox, Loot Box and Notifications.

You’re absolutely right. I didn’t realize this was even a thing now as it definitely didn’t exist when I purchased the car. Hell I’ll probably add my kids at this point.

Just to clarify, Tysons Corner service center picked up their phone and was amazing with their response. It seems as if not much can be done with the bad aspects of Tesla service but it was a surprise how much of a departure from my last roadside assistance call today was.

What are my other options? I will file a complaint with the NHTSA about the actual MCU failure but what is the customer recourse for poor customer service? There’s no post call survey offered and I believe it was this specific employee who lacked common sense.

I did add my name and offered to screenshot the account and email it to verify I had been added but the customer service rep wanted nothing to do with it and refused to work with me at all.

You can’t book anything through the app once your MCU fails bc it won’t connect to your car anymore. sorry I didn’t realize that wanting to book a service appointment without having my husband approve of it makes me a Karen. I guess I’m just lucky it didn’t brick on the side of the road with...

Early adopter here, Model S VIN is under 60000. My MCU failed Saturday night and so I discovered the fatal flaw in Tesla’s “do everything from the app” strategy. I called roadside assistance to try and schedule an appointment and was told I would have to wait until Monday to call the car support...

I was rear ended by a State Farm driver in September. I also have usaa but opted to work with State Farm instead as I don't have rental car coverage and usaa told me that if I went the route that you did, they would not be providing me with a rental car. State Farm sent out an appraiser who...

Technically the first couple hundred/maybe thousand owners of AP1 cars, myself included, didn't pay for it. I ordered my car two months or so before the Autopilot/D announcement and just happened to have the hardware included when I took delivery.

I was rear ended September 10th and I only just was able to drop my car off to the shop December 23rd. There was a long backorder for the grey part underneath the rear bumper cover and the repair shop has quoted me 3 weeks for repair IF they don't find damage to the aluminum part behind the...

Thanks everyone for your replies. It's helped clarify a lot of questions I had and I now know to wait until after everything is fixed to file the DV claim. I have USAA as my insurance and was told by their representative that I would be filing the DV claim against the insurance of the third...

Thank you! PM sent

I was rear ended today as part of a 3 car accident (I was the front most car) in Maryland today. Wondering if anyone has any advice for getting a diminished value claim and what steps I should take as far as getting an appraisal.

Why would they have to check ID? When I went in to get it, I just showed them my key fob.

Since 7.0, there are a number of podcasts that used to work in Tune-in but now keep saying that it requires a Wi-fi connection to play. The length of the podcast doesn't seem to be the determining factor and I can't seem to get it to work even with a reset or repeated attempts to play the...

I've had my Tesla for a year and have never gotten my nail caught lol. I don't think the is a frequent problem as I've never seen it posted before. I also don't grab the door handle fully as it really just takes a light pull with the tips of my fingers for it to open. Maybe don't wrap your...

Ew hate it. Someone on Jalopnik linked a picture of Neo with his mouth melting shut from the first Matrix in response to the X nose. I'll stick with my nosecone.

That's the same triangle single camera that's on the Model S with AP hardware. The upper things are just reflections of the side panels on the back doors.

You'd probably lose more than 2 months of your life stuck in traffic around in Beijing over taking public transit :p

But does it have full AP functionality or not?

I'm a little disappointed that the X didn't feature the upgraded steering wheel that one of the beta models had at a car show. I can't remember exactly which but the steering wheel had little screens where the buttons are now.

Oh that's most definitely 7.0. Well, here's hoping they throw us Model S'ers a bone and release it soon. Clearly full AP functionality is deemed safe enough to be out on the road, I don't see any reason to keep it in beta as the Model X owners aren't under a NDA. I think I'll go admire my...

Surprised no one has mentioned this, but does Model X come with 7.0 or not? Hopefully someone at the event can take a peep and let us know.

Well, guess no AP in September then.

If Tesla went ahead and announced that the current Model S with the AP hardware does not have enough hardware to support lane keeping and self parallel parking, consider me on the list for class action lawsuit. There is no way you can have advertised a car with the potential capability of...

Works in the Baltimore tunnel just fine for me.

The CT service center/delivery team will go in and get your plate for you so they probably had both those cars done at the same time. Which means somewhere out there is another Tesla one number above or below mine as well.... :) And yes they do issue plates in sequence. My husband and I had...

No, you cannot feel any flecks with your finger nor is there any resistance if you gently "pick" at it with your fingernail. The white on the nosecone is definitely not a reflection from the sun as it's consistently spotted like that throughout the entire thing.

That looks awesome. I like the velvety finish which I think is actually better than the glossy factory paint. Out of curiosity, how much did it cost you to have the whole car wrapped like that? I think in a couple years, I'll probably get bored of my black and get it wrapped as well.

Thank you yobigd20. That's exactly the same as mine so I'm just relieved to know it's not something going wrong underneath the Opti-coat. Every single day commuting since February has been like driving behind a sand blaster so I guess this is something to look forward to until we move to...

I received my car in November 2014 so it's been awhile since we've had a bright sunny day in New England and washed the car outside. My husband went over the car with the two bucket wash method using ONR and this is the resulting front side of my entire car. The entire hood, front bumper has...

Just wondering if any owners in the area have a touchless car wash that they frequent that they've had good experiences with?

I got my car Nov. 2014 but after this winter, I don't see how it could get much worse. 1) The windows have been a non issue for me. My husband used to have a 5.0 Mustang and we never had issues with its windows either. There was one day where one of my mirrors didn't fold out when I started...

I've experienced both being limited to 60 kW and then 80 at the same supercharger. I don't really know if they are throttling or not. Either way that's a decision that I can't do anything about. I would like to just rule out that there is something wrong with my car. Incidentally ill be going...

Nope this happened after my morning work commute, then from my house to providence airport, there to dinner, and then to the supercharger. So I would say probably about an hour and a half of driving before I hit up the supercharger and when I was at home, the car is inside the garage so by no...

Yes it is but I did not have home set in my Nav. @FlasherZ This is an 8 stall charger and I wanted to give it a chance to ramp up so I was only able to test out two stalls. I also had a brain fart and couldn't remember which stall I had the 60 kW issue with two weeks ago so I can't say for...

And yes, before anyone says, I'm well aware the picture shows I just plugged in, but the kW never went any higher than 80. Beyond photographs of my center screen, I don't have more in depth instrumental data. I'm on an E pack if that makes any difference. And as regards the 59/60 capping, I...

I agree it doesn't fit with the other kinds of data so far and not even the 60 kW capping I've experienced before but now I'm being told it's all working as intended. I just don't know where to go from here to have something done about this.

Ok update after my stop in East Greenwich, RI. Got there with 30% soc, only car there and the charge peaked at 80 kW. Changed to an A stall at 51% and initially saw it go over 90 kW for about 5 seconds, pushed back to 80 and then started to taper down to 70 kW all before my battery was at 60%...

Yes but actually there isn't even much tapering until maybe the last 10 miles or so. It stays at 60 kW regardless of the soc but I'm not a frequent supercharger user so I've only ever experienced it 2 times in the last month.

I think the thread stopped bc tesla isn't doing anything about the problem so there aren't fixes or any real updates to give. As of this Sunday, I am still limited at Darien north charger with well under 60% soc and I'll be trying east Greenwich, ri today again with under 60% as well. I was also...

Heading back home after going to Providence.

Just adding a data point, I was charging last night at the East Greenwich, RI supercharger with 108 miles left and it would only go up to 60 kW. I was the only car there out of 8 stalls and tried two different pairings with the same results. Model S85, November 2014 build and my home is...

Two key fob covers and two stylus/pen combos that were really nice. And a big red bow that I got to keep!

I was out in Boston today as well right when the snow started and by the time I had come back to CT, there was maybe an inch or so of unplowed fresh snow. I have the S85, no winter tires and except for one turn where it pulled at the end, it didn't feel any different than last winter in my...

Out of curiosity, how much does it cost to install the Reus audio?
