    Berkeley Service Center experience?

    We have Aug 2018 delivered 100D X. Dublin Service center is closer to us but based on mobile service tech feedback, I've set up an appointment at Berkeley. We have the shudder issue on hard acceleration and Dublin SC pushed back on my service visit last time to address. I even mentioned...

    Wiki Consolidated eMMC Thread (MCU repair) (Black Center Screen)

    I was able to connect with Tony and one of Tony's customers who can help me with disassembly and reassembly. My total expected cost will be about 40% cheaper than getting a MCU 1 replacement from Tesla SC. I don't really want to go MCU1 replacement route as I believe it will simply fail for...

    Wiki Consolidated eMMC Thread (MCU repair) (Black Center Screen)

    I think I'm part of the club. Jan 2016 MS 85D. Center screen blank (but drivers screen ok). i could not connect to the car via the mobile app. Went to the car and held both scroll buttons for 4 minutes twice. Also tried both scroll buttons and pressing down brake for 4 minutes and still no...

    Ok, thanks for that info. Not sure if Rich and Chad are genuinely unaware or have an agenda.

    News for Model X owners with the dreaded shudder

    I have not followed the latest developments on this thread. Are you saying Tesla has new motor mount for older model Xs ?

    News for Model X owners with the dreaded shudder

    RIch Rebuilds just posted this. @ 17 min mark, Rich and Chad talk about the vibration issue at the front. Chad says how they use to replace axle shafts which is only a temporary fix but he says root cause is motor mount and real fix is redesigned mount and bushings.

    Humming sound when car is on or off

    Jan 2016 delivered MS 85D on ver 2019.16.1.1 . Today I noticed an audible humming noise inside cabin while driving and I recorded the same sound (below) when parked near front wheel and car off . I even tried to power off through the MCU and the hum did not go away. no HVAC on. Car is not...

    chemical like smell from front vent

    I brought it into SC once and the tech essentially shrugged his shoulders. I might request a different tech when I bring it in again. I searched "smell" in this forum and FB group but I could not find anyone who experienced anything resembling my issue. I suspect it might have been triggered...

    chemical like smell from front vent

    We have mid Aug 2018 delivered 100D. When using the front vent (heat or AC), a mild chemical like smell is emitted (lack of better description). My wife notices it too but she is not as bothered by it as I am. It makes me somewhat nauseous every time I turn on the front vent. I initially thought...

    Model X 100D "uncorking" 0-60 MPH and 1/4 Mile Tests

    Dragtimes had their Jan 2017 MX updated via Tesla mobile service (can't do OTA). The TL DW: @ 6:36 to 7 min --> 0-60 at 4.4 sec is the best run. Tesla website still advertises 0-60 at 4.7 sec. I wonder if new MXs delivered today are "uncorked" out the gate?

    Thinkware F800 Pro does not go into Parking mode

    Sorry for not updating this thread. Got busy with work and went dark. My F800 Pro now turns off when cars is "off" and turns back on when I open the doors but parking mode still does not seem to work. Same settings as in OP. I don't know what the shop did differently the 2nd time. I need to...

    Thinkware F800 Pro does not go into Parking mode

    I have a Thinkware F800 Pro 2 ch Dashcam professionally installed for my 2016 MS 85D. Overall, the cam does work on each channel. The issue I have is that the Dashcam records continuously 24x7 and does not record in parking mode. I am concerned about drainage of my 12V battery. I contacted...

    Official Model S Child Seat Thread - reviews, pictures, and discussion

    We have a Jan 2016 85D MS with the permanently fixed, non adjustable headrests. Both of our Britax car seats have made what appears to be permanent horizontal indentation marks on the rear headrests. Down the road when our kids outgrow the car seats, anyone have ideas on how to restore the...

    Tesla scaling back service loaners for Model S owners?

    I had my strut motor replaced on our rear power liftgate. I dropped off at Dublin SC at 1pm which is their "peak time" supposedly and I received a 75 loaner. Pretty stripped down car with no AP but I was grateful to get the loaner. 1 day turn around for repair and I returned the 75 the next day.

    New Nose Option for Older Model S

    I have a Jan 2016 delivered MS 85D with AP1. My local Tesla Service Center said a 3rd party front fascia would only work on 75D or newer due to internal changes (wiring , location of AP radar) but according to Unplugged website, a refresh fascia would work ? I would fall within 2016.5 model...

    What is the best dash camera for the Model S nowadays?

    I'm waiting for the Thinkware F800 Pro to be released (supposedly soon) and see how it fares vs the Blackview 750S. Thinkware F800 non pro is already released but I don't like how the camera portion is silver which makes me feel like it can draw unwanted attention.

    Minor rear bumper damage

    somnambule, thanks so much for the suggestion. I hadn't thought to seek out these paintless / bumper repair folks since I figured "Tesla authorized" only. I now wonder, if "Tesla authorized" is mainly for more extensive damage, especially to the aluminum panels? But for minor surface damage...

    Minor rear bumper damage

    Thanks everyone for the input so far. Yes, my sensors seem to be ok. Car overall is fine. The damage seems to be purely cosmetic. The authorized body shop quote noted repair of the bumper and it would not be a replacement bumper. A friend of mine made a comment that using touch paint might...

    Minor rear bumper damage

    I was in neutral and rolled back at idle speed and bumped the car behind me. <face palm> The bumper of the person behind me did not appear damaged (but will wait to see if he files a claim against my insurance). The bolts from his front license plate made indentation marks into my rear bumper...
