Mine was diagnosed to be the "HV harness - FJB to FDU". $500 to diagnose the problem, and $600 in parts/labor to fix it. Haven't seen any errors pop up after getting the fixed vehicle back.

You should tell them to give you both, or you'll walk away. The $4589 is not an "inventory discount", it's compensation due to a damaged vehicle. Will this damage show up on a carfax? If so, you'll not be able to sell this vehicle for the same price in the future. The $4589 is compensating...

I'm getting BMS_w008 errors as well. They pop up for just a few seconds and then immediately go away. But they happen quite regularly. Car is in the service center now. Hopefully they find the cause, and hopefully it's something that is covered by the 8year HV battery warranty.

The "charge now, your battery is very low" never even came up in my cases. I have an X60D, brand new it had 200 rated miles @ 100 %, now it's ~182 rated miles @100%. Parking the car with 17 miles is still 10% SOC, parking with 34 miles is still 18% SOC. Neither of those is low enough to...

I also don't know the answer. My suspicion is that those 18 miles got discharged. I don't think it has anything to do with the BMS thinking it needs to warm up the battery. One of my trips was on a hot 90F day and had been driven for 2+ hours before being parked at 17miles remaining. The...

Similar thread from me last year. Battery depletes rapidly when parked at low SOC. This happens regularly, and no known solution.

Similar things happen to me. I posted a similar thread on it last year Battery depletes rapidly when parked at low SOC No known solution. It keeps happening to this day. Some people say that it's just the changing temperature or battery pack recalibrating but I don't believe it. I think...

Generally speaking, no manufacturers(including Tesla) cover problems associated with a TSB after the expiration of the bumper to bumper warranty.

It just doesn't make any sense that if my battery is at 10% I could either continue driving it for 20 minutes or let it sit parked for 20 minutes and both of those actions have the same outcome of having the battery depleted to 1% after that 20 minute activity is over.

I don't have Sentry and cabin overheat protection is turned off. Although those shouldn't matter anyway because they are supposed to not run when SOC is <20% regardless. Temperature was ~85F. If I rewrite the original post solely in terms of percentages it looks like this: One time it showed...

I have a 2016 Model X 60D. Recently, on several occasions I've driven it to the point where the battery was <15% SOC and then parked the car. One time it showed there was 17 miles remaining when I parked, and when I came back 20 minutes later it was down to 1 mile! Luckily I was only 3 miles...

Springfield NJ.

Do your service centers actually respond to messages sent in the app messages section once you have an appointment scheduled? Mine never do.

That’s probably why he said “grab a burger midway and keep going from SF to LA”. The fact that a long drive like that can be done on an EV can be done with only one stop that is just long enough to grab a burger and get back on the road is pretty nice.

Yes I understand that, but M3 LR has nothing to do with being a "compliance car". Tesla does not sell compliance cars, only other manufacturers do.

Thanks for the explanation, very informative. But this doesn't really affect Tesla at all does it?

What is the eastern pool compliance inventory?

They're not completely unreasonable people. If you ask for more $$$ and can offer a simple description of why you need more than the $100/day they are offering they will likely oblige.

You'd have to be crazy to buy a Tesla in NJ right now. Waiting just a week or a month or two could make the price $5k cheaper.

Maybe if you really hate Musk and have a proven history of consistently shorting the stock, then perhaps you could argue that having Elon's signature on it seriously devalues it. But then again, if that's who you are.....then why the hell were you referring people to buy a Tesla vehicle in the...

I'd think a reasonable person could be convinced that any of those is a valid award value. Put the one you feel most comfortable with, and in the unlikely event of an audit you state your reason for selecting that value. While the IRS may disagree with you and make you pay taxes on a higher...

It's time for the obligatory.....just because you didn't get a 1099 for something doesn't mean that you don't have to declare it as income on your taxes.

Totally agree with you if the picture was taken while car was charging. That’s a very misleading thing to post.

I think many of you are missing the major point of 3ry-reset's picture. Some cells/bricks being charged to 4.200V and others being at 4.183V is reasonably normal. However, the fact that ANY cells are anywhere near 4.200V when SOC=92% is a huge problem.

How much do you want to bet? I'll even give you 2:1 odds! As strange as it may seem you are definitely wrong. The car with basic AP will indeed sit in its lane when the blinker is on. I feel that Tesla realigned the feature sets this way purposely as a way to get people to pony up the $7k...

That's a very interesting quote, but there are two ways to interpret it: 1)With the knowledge that we on the forums have that the firmware released in the last 2 weeks seems to be flagging batteries as defective and calling them in for service. Interpreted this way, the statement implies that...

Probably, but I can't say for sure since I don't use it.

Best way is to pay for and download the Tesla Power Tools app on iphone. Then sign into your account and fire it up while you're driving. Mash the pedal to the floor. IF the max power you see is ~270kW then it's still corked. Uncorked cars will show ~330kW.

Just because it doesn't show up on carfax doesn't mean that a potential future buyer of your car won't know about it. It's pretty easy for someone who knows cars to determine that your rear bumper was repaired/repainted. If they are able to determine that, and then see NOTHING on the carfax...

It doesn't really make sense though. Once you have ROOT access you can literally do whatever you want to do. That's the definition of having ROOT access.

Early indications seem to imply that this new firmware has no ability to detect that previously capped cars are actually-ok and restore them back to normal. However, the new firmware does appear to be able to determine that some of the capped cars were more critically damaged than was...

This advice runs counter to what has been preached here for years - that the best way to preserve the health of the battery is to keep it neither at a high SOC nor at a low SOC. Keeping the battery averaging at 50% SOC has been the advice for how to best prolong the battery.

The way the 40kwh was achieved was a software lock and the software lock was done by limiting the voltage that the battery could charge to. So this new batterygate that imposes a voltage limit <4.2V would have no effect on the 40kwh cars since they already had a voltage limit much lower than...

It's not just batterygated cars that can't preheat the battery via the app, it's EVERY car. Many threads on it.

You can barely see the lines due to the snow. Give the guy a bit of a break here.

They're not....

Is there any way to have the system create extra write cycles? If so, you could intentionally cause the chip to fail while still in the warranty period.

They can make simple config changes OTA without applying a full firmware update. Evidence of this is that's how they do 60D -> 75D upgrades, and also how they apply/remove the 80mph governor that they set on demo cars. Charge level is almost certainly a config parameter, since that's exactly...

This has been stated before in this thread but it bears repeating...Tesla can limit battery charge level even without forcing a software update if they so desire.

When you charge your 60D to 100% you only get 183 rated miles? If so, that's awful.

The problem is that someone else will buy it. Tesla isn't interested in selling to informed consumers, so they will not change their ways.

Spotify, woo-hoo! ;)

I think this may be Tesla's new strategy. Get people to bring so many lawsuits against you so that every judge in the country is already assigned to a Tesla case, therefore no new cases can ever be heard.

Thanks for clarifying that. I was clearly wrong when I posted that it only worked below 25mph. That being said, if it really does think that I'm 2 feet from a car that is directly in front of me going significantly slower than me then why the hell DOESN'T it engage AEB?

Very nice, you must be pretty happy to have saved a couple thousand dollars!

I have the same thing happening to me every single day at the same exact spot. The location is I78 in NJ going eastbound, just past exit 36. For about 1/2 mile or so it thinks the car in the center AND/OR rightmost lanes in the fast lane. It's infuriating. What's even more comical about it...

That's the best situation, where you paid the AP1 price, but got AP2. Just curious, do you actually get Navigate on Autopilot without having paid the upgrade for Enhanced Autopilot? I thought when NoA rolled out, it was touted as being the first feature that was unique to Enhanced Autopilot.

Same. Another disturbing thing about the newly designed account page is that it doesn't list whether the free supercharging that the car has is transferrable to the next owner or not.

I completely agree with you that having Uber credits as the only option is unacceptable. But if you know for a fact that they're not going to give you a loaner then how could it possibly be MORE CONVENIENT to have a family member accompany you to both dropoff/pickup than to simply use the Uber...

IF your math is correct(I didn't check it, so can't confirm for myself), then you're essentially paying a little over $4k over 36 months for the option to return the car at that time with zero penalty to you. If you don't pay the $4k then you're at the mercy of whatever the market will bear for...
