bought 2018

Searched threads but could not find any info. I bought my 2016 from Tesla as pre-owned with the FUSC. The code check trick clicking on the car image shows SC01. With the horror stories on the forum I'm wondering if this will transfer to the purchase of a new Tesla. Any experience on this?

I naively thought that I could just go third party and contact the other guy's insurance (Allstate) and get made whole without having to deal with my insurance, as the other guy admitted fault in writing by leaving a note. The 20K estimate come from the body shop I chose, and Allstate took...

More info today. So the 4k I received was not the ACV, that was some kind of down payment for repair after they did their video estimate. Not sure what they call it. The rep called the ACV 16K, premashup. KBB estimated around 20K as a rough guide. I am new to all this, and the Allstate...

that's my point, there's no equivalent vehicle. Does anyone know the rate of HV battery failure ? Is it related to total miles/battery cycles? my 90d has 146K miles. It'd love to see data on it. I guess I thought this car would keep running for another 10 years, but I've thought more...

Thanks for the responses, but the 4K was sent after a 2 min video inspection from Allstate. Then they called me to say it's totalled after I took it to the body shop and the shop estimated 20K. My perspective is that the car drives, the trunk opens, and there are no defects apart from the...

Have an old but working great 90 2016S that got hit in the rear bumper, quarter panel. Drives fine, no warnings, charges fine, other than the parking sensor is out. Due to high miles the market value of my beloved 90 is virtually nil, but of course the repair estimate from a recommended Tesla...

Have an old but working great 90 2016S that got hit in the rear bumper, quarter panel. Drives fine, no warnings, other than the parking sensor is out. Due to high miles the market value is virtually nil, but of course the repair estimate is around 20k and insurance wants to declare it total...

My 90's fair market value is around 20K at most, as it has high miles. It runs great, used to look great and my plan was to drive it long as possible, esp with the FUSC. The way I see it there has to be a shop who can fix the damage to make it cosmetically acceptable, if not factory new...

I learned about the transfer of FUSC to a new tesla and was eager to hear more, but just read a story on the forum of tesla reneging on the deal. Have others successfully done this? i would need to take delivery of a new tesla in a month, so it seems like there is a good chance it woul not...

My 90 was hit while parked. The guy left a note but his Allstate insurance says the estimate from my shop (Brooks motors in nor cal) of 20k means it is totalled. See my pics. It is ugly but it still drives and charges and trunk opens. And most of all it has FUSP. So the Allstate guy...

Have had the fuse warning on my console for about a week soon after most recent software upgrade. Have 2016 Model S 90D. Service estimate is $337.24 in Nor Cal. The thread has been useful but so far I've learned that: 1) sometimes it goes away 2) the prices are all over the place 3) and the...

so is this emmc related? the other thread was unresolved. Tesla says the emmc needs replacing only if the display goes totally dark.

any updates? have similar issue with miles/watts reading zero. is this emmc related?

Any idea on what's causing my trip data not displaying. Suddenly shows zero miles, zero watts on all trip data. Only the timer is working and total odometer miles. Rebooted the dash twice, and no change after several days.

Got it done at Hi-Tech glass in Redwood city. Small spot and definitely not fancy, but they replaced the window in 1.5 hours and it looked good as new. They removed the trim and reattached it, but it didn't look like they had to use much in the way of binder/glue. Very satisifed --- with...

thanks for recalling your glass installer!

Safelite quoted about $1000 from their online estimator. One shop (HighTech Auto Glass) in Redwood city quoted $500, and offered mobile service. A body shop quoted 500 for parts, but estimated 6 hours labor with total price: $1500. The estimates are all over; seems like 4-6 hour labor is...

The chrome trim is totally intact. The top of the window has one continuous strip that extends over the main rear window. Perhaps I can ask them to keep the same trim, although one forum member said that it may not look right as apparently they have to break binder/glue to install the glass...

estimate is 1205.08 for parts, 586.50 for labor. I'm guess the "ASY BRIGHT MOLDING" is the chrome trim.

Prior posters suggested buying the glass on ebay, and the prices are around $160 but it seems that's not the most expensive part. Does molding/trim/glue cost > $800?. This is an MS.

Just got broken into in Oakland where they broke into the small rear quarter window. Called around to Primer based on recs here; they didn't have the glass available. Got an updated estimate of 1900 from Tesla!! The breakdown of parts shows "ASY BRIGHT MOLDING" is the most expensive part...

never heard of diminished value. so do you just request it from the insurer. how often does this work

Yes weird pattern. Other driver was in an exit only lane on the highway, then tried to merge back on. Interesting responses but we called Geico (other driver's insurance) and they said they'd assess. We had to force them into allowing us to use a body shop of our choosing. They first wanted...

My wife got into a low speed accident yesterday (other driver's fault) where the other person's rear tire brushed up against the right rear tire well at about 20 mph. Lots of rubber slag and it seems to have taken off some of the autofilm I had installed -- a definite endorsement for the film...

thanks tomasz . didn't know that they could monitor that remotely. I could tell form the service people this is a common issue and the fact that they are backlogged on orders tells me this is widespread

yes pump up the tires per recommendation and alert is still present

have same problem, more so with certain podcasts. has loading error; older podcasts may work under same title.

Bought my 2014 CPO and 1st day after purchase the "check tire monitor" warning light came on. I called Dublin service and made an appointment. One day prior to my appt, they called to cancel. They basically thought it was a faulty sensor, parts on backorder, expect a call in a week. Month...

Wanted to post my experience on CPO. I paid the $1000 deposit about 6 weeks ago after online correspondence with sales agent. They sent a carfax which was not very useful and could not send pics. Car was in Scottsdale and had fairly low miles , was a 2014 85kw, 34k miles. I waited, asked for...

thanks andresf. and others. i'm always amazed by old fogies like sasgebrush on forum sites

in PGE land TOU EVA peak rates are .44 /kwh in summer, .24/kwh near peak. Those of you with someone at home needing AC, has there been a problem with the utility bills? the .44 gives me pause. Can run the dryer and other appliances at night but at 4x night time use I wonder if there is...

I'm considering a tesla s85 cpo. I have solar panels but realized I would need to almost double my panel output per month to fuel 100% of my car's commute . the estimate for my commute is 30 kwh per day using the EV trip planner. So per month consumption would be 600 kwh. I have PG&E...

is there a difference in quotes for s60 vs s85? someone said that the 85 was put considered performance category but the 60 was not. is this consistent with other people's experience? it's not like s60 is a slow car. Since i need a commuter on Cali freeways, paying premium for s85 is not...

are the 2014 MS much better than 2013? The cpo list mostly shows early 2013s

these articles did specifically mention reliability issues with the 2013 ms. 2/3 of tesla drivetrains will fail in 60k miles? stunning. Tesla Reliability Doesn’t Match Its High Performance Two-Thirds of Earliest Tesla Drivetrains To Need Replacement In 60,000 Miles, Owner Data Suggests

are the 2014 teslas much better than 2013?

Also interested in cpo purchase and started reading up via this forum. I've heard many folks say that 2014 brought significantly more improvements over 2013 model S, but I could not find specifics. People have mentioned pings and noise, but is this true for most people and what exactly is...

Interested in buying Model S. At least 60kw. No need for other options besides dual chargers. Extended warranty would be obviously nice. Looking for a commuter as my current car has reached the point wear repair work would exceed car's value.

any service issues? Charger type? What range are you getting at peak charge? thanks
