    Blend Door Actuator

    As per tesla service, the inlet actuator is the issue. I just changed mine and hope the sound stops. it's inconsistent, so I am unsure if the issue was resolved. follow the instructions in the photos. you need a stubby Phillips head and remove the plug in the way of the inside screw. when...

    Tesla Policy changes and other horrible Experiences

    update: They screwed up and pinched a coolant line when they performed the last service and I was ok with that. They ordered the part and took 3 weeks to arrive due to the part not being manufactured in the US. I found it odd that they couldn't get one from manufacturing while the part was en...

    Tesla Policy changes and other horrible Experiences

    The warranty covers any sheet metal as per Advisor and that piece is covered. The motor was completely disabled and the car was not drivable at all. That message is bogus.

    Tesla Policy changes and other horrible Experiences

    CPO meant a 128 point inspection was done, I bought 2 and both were renewed. A guarantee from them meant it never happened as per their inspection. They have to stand by it, every single court will tell you that. you cant just guarantee something, take someone's money and not stand by it. what...

    Tesla Policy changes and other horrible Experiences

    car was purchased as a CPO (when the program existed) from Tesla and guaranteed it was never in an accident. I have a recorded phone call (NY is 1 party state) for proof.

    Tesla Policy changes and other horrible Experiences

    You have to admit if it's making odd noises it is malfunctioning internally. This issue is Tesla doesn't have techs that can open these units and fix/replace the parts that are causing the sounds.

    Tesla Policy changes and other horrible Experiences

    What does the mileage have anything to do with contractual obligation? They replaced our motors when they made milling sounds and now they will not as per tech. We bought these cars based on these promises and they are not being kept. 8 year "UNLIMITED MILES"

    Tesla Policy changes and other horrible Experiences

    Recently I hit a pothole from hell and popped 2 tires on my 2015 P90D. The apartment complex I was driving through to get to my service destination had me contact their insurance company. The insurance company immediately issued a $1,400 check to replace all of my tires. That same day I noticed...

    Can any shop do wheel alignment

    Goodyear and mavis showed me why they can't align the car on the system itself. Tesla does not share how the camber is set and what the setting is. The video option for the setup is greyed out. For years I had goodyear do the alignment and I noticed my driver side wheel was off center. I...

    Out of Warranty Drive Unit Replacement and Cost

    what is the cost to update the drive unit that has no issues? i was thinking about having you upgrade the seal and adding the drain option after having tesla inpect the unit for possible replacement at the end of my 8yr/unlimited mile warranty in 12/23

    I figured out the problem. The long harness that connects the 2 switches was being pinched.

    HV Battery replaced and now the Drive Unit! (out of warranty)

    Agreed. The time of 12v battery death definitely differs. When my rear DU failed the 12v died in 1 minute or less.

    Out of Warranty Drive Unit Replacement and Cost

    I find it interesting ALL of my friends haven't replaced their drive units. The common them is that they all have a non-performance S and I have had 2 Performance Ss and both had multiply drive unit replacements. And the fact that service admitted to design flaw is also interesting.

    HV Battery replaced and now the Drive Unit! (out of warranty)

    Normally, from my experience, when the system shuts down and cannot be restarted without an external battery booster after "may not restart" message, the culprit is the drive unit. The reason is the 12v keeps trying to restart the drive until and cause it to drain completely. I've never heard...

    Out of Warranty Drive Unit Replacement and Cost

    I may not have made myself clear and caused a slight miscommunication. This is my 3rd rear drive unit. I was told I had water ingress because of design issues. My concern is what happens if water ingress issue happens again. Will it be covered after 8 years? Last du lasted 140k miles and if...

    Tesla Model Y Standard Range AWD to be priced at $59,990 USD

    Changed about what? Did you miss the fact that I driver a model s p90d? I repeat at times because posts are missed. For example you didn't see I drive a MS or did you? I've always been pro Tesla and that doesn't change. I feel Tesla can do better and not be greedy. Your snide remarks show...

    Tesla Model Y Standard Range AWD to be priced at $59,990 USD

    I agree. That's basic economics. But that's not how consumers buy cars. They normally approach the purchase of a motor vehicle in a sensible manner. And in an affordable manner.

    Tesla Model Y Standard Range AWD to be priced at $59,990 USD

    Kona electric has been around for 5 years, id4 for 2+, Ford and gm has been building evs for quite some time. I wouldn't call them newbies. Electricity America has gotten much better and there are others also.

    Tesla Model Y Standard Range AWD to be priced at $59,990 USD

    I'm comparing generally because you can with these vehicles due to their overall size. My point is that the y and 3 are not worth what Tesla is asking for them.

    Tesla Model Y Standard Range AWD to be priced at $59,990 USD

    Camry is a midsized sedan that gets 40mpg. At 3.6 cents, that's equal to around 10 cents a mile. An efficient run on MY or M3 is around 3.5 miles per kWh.

    Tesla Model Y Standard Range AWD to be priced at $59,990 USD

    Actually my comparison is not to the S. I guess it came off as such. My point is why spend so much on a car that drives as such when the id4, kona electric, ev6 and others exist at a better price and d4ive similarly.

    What have they added that didnt belong in the first place? No other company has announced the removal of ability to purchase a lease at the end of the term. Tesla has gotten greedy due to popularity. Their supercharging costs have skyrocketed. Cheaper to use state supplied in NY at 30cents...

    Tesla Model Y Standard Range AWD to be priced at $59,990 USD

    You must be doing home charging math, because supercharging has become close to what gas costs per gallon to fill a mid sized sedan.

    Tesla Model Y Standard Range AWD to be priced at $59,990 USD

    People are buying these cars because it's a Tesla. I had a 3 recently for 3 weeks while they were trying to find a rear drive unit for my P90D. I couldn't believe how poor the ride quality was and the cabin noise.... what a piece of crap! I wouldn't even consider the 3 at 30k. Tesla has gotten...

    My 2015 P90D drive unit fail a week ago. I heard metallic dragging sounds in the rear thinking my hub/wheel bearing had gone bad. I knew it was the DU because it did not get louder as I picked up speed. The next day I heard moaning sounds and the car started vibrating in the rear. Finally the...

    Rain and light sensor issue

    There are a couple of things I am looking into. The first being to see if cleaning the area where the sensor fits is clean. And the second being the rubber part of the sensor making full contact with the windshield. The sensor is designed to sense vibration from rain hitting the windshield.

    Rain and light sensor issue

    2015 and that's not how they function. I've has 2 Ss and know how the wiper should function and they never needed to be triggered. Are you a Tesla service employee? That's the answers they put out there.
