    Sell 2014 Model S before 8 Year warranty expires?

    I drive a 2015 S85 RWD (86k miles) with upgraded MCU2 and a recently replaced drive unit. I honestly love it except for the minor annoyance of supercharging taking longer than it should. But I find myself in the same boat. Having the drive unit unexpectedly die on me spooked me a bit. So I'm...

    Does anyone know when the 2015 Drive Unit warranty expires?

    I guess it doesn't list any miles, just sadly I'll be out of time soon. Hopefully the replacement DU has a long life.

    Does anyone know when the 2015 Drive Unit warranty expires?

    This is an interesting coincidence. My drive unit just failed out of the blue on Thursday, minutes after I left my house. In my 2015 S85, manufactured in Mar 2015. Luckily mine was still covered (I'm only around 87k miles), but he also told me my drivetrain warranty remaining is till 3/11/23 or...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    I'd love to upgrade to MCU2, but I can't shake the irrational mindset "you should get an AP1 discount" since I don't get any sentry mode or visualization upgrade benefits. :p

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    I guess I'm confused then based upon the powerwall 2 price and the the fact that it says "and tax". Is the tax removal thing only for installation costs? That would mean I paid $6700 for each powerwall 2, which is higher than I recall being quoted mid-2019, because the costs for the other...

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    That stuff is actually broken out separately, here's the whole thing.

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    Can someone give me an example of where that charge is located? So far all I've found is this line that doesn't break it out: 2 Powerwall(s) and Tax $13,400.00 I purchased in Jul 2019, so I'm pretty sure there's some tax in there since I believe they were $5500 each back then. So just contact...

    12V battery replacement warranty (and how long they last)

    Just had mine replaced today, but I bought mine used so who knows how long it was in there (2015 S). The battery was red though, so I believe that's the original style battery. Anyway on the invoice it shows they recalibrated all four windows, and likely updated BMS which I think is something...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Just remembered something I don't think has been mentioned yet, that's generally insignificant but could be a tie-breaker if you're on the fence about paying for the radio upgrade. There are lots of replacements for radio stations via the Internet, however during Christmas or other events if you...

    Ohmmu Battery & 2020.28.6 update

    My battery is swapped, quick and easy.

    Ohmmu Battery & 2020.28.6 update

    Well it didn't come back after a few hours, and since it's my wife's car I didn't check often. It's back as of this morning though.

    Ohmmu Battery & 2020.28.6 update

    I just reset and am updating to 36.10 right now, we'll see what happens.

    Ohmmu Battery & 2020.28.6 update

    I got a 12v battery tester (the kind that sits in the socket not attaches to the battery), and when the car is off and it's on 12v battery power it steadily shows 13.07v-13.08v, shows a full battery, and certifies the battery as "good". When I turn the 3 on it "drops" to 13.01v-13.04v, flips to...

    Ohmmu Battery & 2020.28.6 update

    Question for those that have the error notification. Do you have an ODB2 reader attached constantly? I just realized I have one attached at all times (fleetcarma) though I doubt it's related.

    MCU2 Upgrade Audio EQ Balancing - Coming From MCU1

    I did get it back with MCU1 still, and haven't done anything comprehensive other than fading front to back to determine thresholds. I did notice something though, which is it seems like I can hear just about all the same frequencies from the rear speakers, including some low bass...

    Updated without issue. I've only taken one drive but so far so good.

    Instrument cluster

    Don't quote me, but this could just be it coming out of deep sleep. Mine does the same sometimes. You can maybe test to see by probably accessing it via the phone app first, then get in the car and see if it's already out of deep sleep. I don't know all the triggers, but it's a sensible explanation.

    MCU2 Upgrade Audio EQ Balancing - Coming From MCU1

    See this is what I mean. I listen on 7-8 already (with phone volume set to full), 4 would be way too quiet for me. There's so many variables involved, so it makes it harder to nail this down. Maybe some of those streaming/tunein stations have changed their bitrate over time, maybe they...

    MCU2 Upgrade Audio EQ Balancing - Coming From MCU1

    Doh I can't edit. Just to be clear I think the DSP retuning thing is probably accurate as well, I think it's probably a couple different factors.

    MCU2 Upgrade Audio EQ Balancing - Coming From MCU1

    Good and bad news. The bad news is they bumped my appointment because they didn't have the MCU2 parts in. I had them stick to the appointment though because I had a roof leak I wanted fixed. So knowing I had more time I didn't get to the speaker testing. But when I dropped it off they said good...

    Ohmmu Battery & 2020.28.6 update

    Are the Model S and Model 3 batteries the same shape/type? I'm tempted to swap my OHMMU with what's in the S as a workaround.

    MCU2 Upgrade Audio EQ Balancing - Coming From MCU1

    If we standardize on the same audio files (easily done thanks to posters) then we can start gathering more data regardless of how it should or should not be. Since I have base audio with MCU1, and MCU2 soon, I'll go ahead and see what frequency "falloffs" I have on all the doors. Let me know if...

    Inexpensive Model S cup holder upgrade (pre-April 10 '16)

    Yep this is one of the ones I couldn't think of, thanks. I do like it, but was still pricey for me since cup holders was my primary motivation. Otherwise it's one of the best options, agreed.

    Inexpensive Model S cup holder upgrade (pre-April 10 '16)

    Jump to the bottom if you want the tl;dr, I'm posting in case it helps others since it seems like used Model S purchases are happening regularly. Apologies if these particular cup holders have already been posted, I couldn't find them anywhere. Having recently bought a used 2015 with the yacht...

    MCU2 Upgrade Audio EQ Balancing - Coming From MCU1

    If this is intentional, I guess it makes sense that they would limit bass or the sub frequencies to just two speakers rather than four. There's a reason people typically have only 1-2 subs and not 4. This allows the penetrating bass to not overwhelm the rest of the frequencies, and maybe is a...

    MCU2 Upgrade Audio EQ Balancing - Coming From MCU1

    I'm a 2015 MCU1 and with my "base" audio system I don't have much bass coming out from the two rear doors right now. I'm slated to get MCU2 this Thursday, and now you have me wondering if I have an existing issue already. I recently bought this used and just thought that's how the system is. So...

    Ohmmu Battery & 2020.28.6 update

    As an IT engineer my mind goes to the same place. Clearly something changed, what we don't know is the motivation for the change. I don't feel that Tesla operates that way, but it's of course possible. I think it unlikely that it's motivated by money, but it could absolutely be motivated by "We...

    Ohmmu Battery & 2020.28.6 update

    It seems unreasonable to me that Tesla would require "Tesla-only" 12v batteries in perpetuity. It ran fine for months until an update, and even longer than that in other cars.

    Ohmmu Battery & 2020.28.6 update

    So... it came back this morning. I'm just going to leave it for now since I know the battery is fine. I might mention it to Tesla at a service appointment I have in a week (different car).

    Ohmmu Battery & 2020.28.6 update

    My wife drives the 3 and she says she thinks she noticed it Monday (didn't tell me till yesterday of course). I'm trying to remember when we got the upgrade. The reset appears to have worked, I'll report back if it surfaces again.

    Door handle won't open

    Had the same issue on my driver door. Try fully seating your door fuses. I'll try to find the article that worked for me. It might still need to be replaced, but this might get it working again. Door handle issues! Self-fix by fuse pull/re-insertion!

    Ohmmu Battery & 2020.28.6 update

    We have that error and have had an Ohmmu battery for a few months now. It does appear to have coincided with a recent upgrade. I'll be doing the reset tonight to see if it clears. For the record my original battery from Tesla started going out only one year into ownership, and having lived in AZ...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    This was quite the thread to get caught up on, but very useful so thanks everyone. I recently purchased a used 2015 (71k miles, details in sig), I have a service appointment in AZ in a week, and I gave them a bit of a laundry list. I have no warranty other than the drive train/battery left. My...

    Water leak in 2013 Model S with no roof

    I just bought a used 2015 Model S 85 "no roof" and it has this very leak. What did it end up costing to repair? I don't have a warranty so I'm looking at a ball-park to plan for when it goes into service in two weeks. It rained on the day I bought it, and by the time I noticed the stain it was...

    12v battery in Model Y?

    I recall seeing talk years ago that the Model Y wouldn't have a 12v battery. Now that they're shipping is that still the case? If the Model Y did end up having a 12v battery, is it the same shape/size as the Model 3? I recently upgraded my Model 3 to the Ohmmu battery when its 12v failed...

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    For some reason I thought there was only one good plan for those with solar and an EV, however I just noticed there are more options. I'm starting to feed back some to the grid, so figured it's time to check the rate plan is a good fit. Has anyone who is generally self sufficient (two powerwalls...

    Tri motor and single motor have swapped production times

    So I initially did single-motor because I was originally going to get the Y for the extra seats on occasion and the occasional need to haul something large. The cybertruck will do both better, however I'm starting to really eyeball that longer range. But now I'm worried about losing place in...

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    If you do make another thread, please link it back here so we can jump to it. This is definitely an interest for me. I have two EVs, no ICE car, two powerwalls, Tesla solar, and an older solar system from a bankrupt company that I folded into Tesla's system. So I'm basically all in for the...

    Powerwall Time-Based with 2 peak periods

    My install got activated on 12/31, and I've been playing with the settings and getting familiar. Is anyone aware of a recommended minimum for the "Reserve for Power Outages"? Since I can't find any information on this, is it purely what you personally need or should it default to 20% for the...

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    Well I go live on 12/31, just barely squeaking in before the new year. :P I also had them leave space to add a third powerwall in the future (maybe even next year), so I'm glad people are posting about that.

    Pigeon problem

    I just recently had Tesla panels installed and have heard pigeons lately as well. Do they actually fit under the panels, my roof is too high to get up on. Also pest abatement was never mentioned, it would have been nice to know it was an option since I've seen neighbors complain about pigeons. :(

    Cabin overheat protection doesn't work

    So I've been keeping an eye on it, and I do think it's working. I think I just caught it a couple times maybe as it was just kicking on. Most times I check the app it says 100 degrees, so looks like it's doing it's job keeping it under 105. And having lived in AZ my whole life, I can guarantee...

    Cabin overheat protection doesn't work

    Mine has gotten over 105F many times over the last few weeks, so I was thinking it wasn't working well either. I didn't look into it, but now that others are saying it I'll keep a closer look.

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    I'm about to pull the trigger on Tesla solar, as well as some powerwalls, so I have a few questions. I already have solar though the company is now bankrupt and I'm essentially orphaned. It's paid for in full. Will Tesla just add on to it or will they require it be pulled? Will they do the...
