    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    @dbeck88 Post your invoice please. I have a 3/2017 Model S 75D and was quoted $1500+tax so I am very curious.

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    Along the lines of airbags that don't deploy during an accident, the fuse may not blow during an accident.

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    If it has a projected end of life, why is it not listed in the service guidelines for the consumers?

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    3/2017 Model S 75D, got the error last week, service got back to me and quoted me $1491.62. Pretty sure I may just wait for NHTSA to force Tesla to fix their crappy fuse. Already got screwed over by preemptively replacing my MCU1 with MCU2 due to eMMC and Tesla refusing to address the issue...

    This was a surprise considering I work around Walmart and drive past here every day of the week...Thanks Supercharge.info! I swung by this morning and took a few pics, they're working on wiring:

    Window tint illegal?

    Wexford, PA Tesla service center has a black Model S classic 70D loaner which has a tinted windshield, and it passed inspection.........that's how I actually noticed it at first as the sticker area has the tint all torn up and cut away... *shakes head*

    My new Plaid compared to my 2018 P100D

    I’d consider the upgrade but the yoke is a deal killer.

    About that "yoke" steering wheel

    I'm glad they messed with the wheel and ruined it with a yoke, saves me $100k!

    Recommended Tint Installers in and around Delaware

    I had my Model S tint done at Oakes Detail in West Chester. Came out great and still holding up with no issues noted. I did 3M Crystaline.

    I'd def check this, I know there were quite a few issues with galvanic corrosion with the grounding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_corrosion

    Why aren’t both S/X motors permanent magnet reluctance?

    Because then it wouldn't be a Tesla! Bad enough that we have these HALF-BREEDS!! :-P

    A happy Tesla is an unplugged Tesla

    When my 2017 cooling pumps stayed on it turned out to be a pump failure. I believe there are 3 pumps, the one under the rear seat failed and the others kept running I guess as a failsafe. I would verify that you do not have a pump failing. Tesla was able to identify the failure remotely and...

    Disassembly of front camera housing

    Disassembly of front camera housing

    Does anyone have a Model S front camera disassembly video? Is it possible to access the glass in front of the cameras? Is the camera housing bonded to the glass in any way? I have residue in front of the cameras on the glass that is causing very blurred video in my 2017 Model S.

    Haziness/fogging behind glass in front of front facing cameras

    Wow yours is much worse than mine. I did have some what looked like condensation at first, and now what seems to be a film left behind from the condensation.

    Haziness/fogging behind glass in front of front facing cameras

    Not yet, it still 'works' most of the time but it's pretty damn hazy and will need to be addressed soon I think.

    Need 15-40 installed NOVA

    Funny you mention this, I tried this for my area and under their Tesla Wall Connector page they describe the outlet as a NEMA 40-50.... *eyeroll* Makes you doubt their professionalism when they can't even get their webpage right.

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Maybe. They said they didn't have the screens when I took mine in (Notified me of this a day or so before I was to take it in), but said I could wait for the screens if I wanted to pay the $2500 or I could pay $2250 and keep my screen. Since my current (replaced for yellowing a while back)...

    Haziness/fogging behind glass in front of front facing cameras

    After updating to MCU2/HW3 I noticed, now that I have a dashcam and working sentry mode, that the front facing camera is very hazy looking. Looking from the outside it appears there is a hazy film on the glass that is not cleared off from the outside. I did some Googling on this and all of the...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Shortly after I arrived for pickup it was downloading 2020.20.17, installed when I got home, now it's installing a 2020.24 build I believe...Not sure how high it's gonna go, need to load the car up for a trip tomorrow! I'll do one more install but that's it! MCU2 speed over MCU1 is like night...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    What version of code is everyone getting with the MCU2 upgrade? I'm wondering if mine needs to get a GPS/map update before it goes any higher or something as it seems to be the same version of code that was on it before the update...pick it up shortly... I'm showing on 2020.20.1...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    I take my car in Friday for MCU2 and HW3 upgrade, they confirmed they have parts on-hand, however in the paperwork I see 1 part that indicates WITH touch screen, yet the other part indicates NO DISP: *confused* So....which is it?

    Holster mounting options?

    Had a 600 mile drive to Pittsburgh and back over the past day, got out of the car at my first stop and had lost a screw in my Alien Gear holster. UGH! So ended up having to just stuff it in the center console for the ride and do some really bad printing stuffing it in my front pants pocket for...

    Is it possible electric rates can go down with oil crash?

    Make sure you're comparing apples to apples. Some people say they're paying x for electricity and they are only saying x as generation when there may also be a delivery charge which is the other half. Under PECO in Philly PA area I'm paying $0.0575/kWh for generation, $0.06505 for...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Upgrade to MCU2 might be palatable if Tesla hadn't broken access to my 1TB USB drive with all my music on it.... *sigh*

    Poll on Auto-Dimming Mirror Performance

    Not. High beams won't turn on until after the car hits 26+ mph which is really annoying in PA leaving the house into the pasture area where deer like to hang out. I have to floor it briefly just to get high beams on. Also have them turn off/on too frequently and also not turn off/turn off...

    ‘Blinded’ driver’s side pillar cam?

    It's better than it was. Before TACC would disable entirely on my morning and evening commutes since I drive east in the morning and west in the evening. The worst possible times. Now at least SOMETIMES TACC stays on since it seems to allow failure of some cameras while still allowing TACC...

    Service Center Damaged My Car

    My service center repeatedly left tools, flashlights etc in my vehicle (I really should have just kept them) and also caused a pretty bad scuff on my steering wheel. I noticed that scuff 10 seconds after turning out of the service center and went back. They stared at it, then gave me a line of...

    Budget for tires every year if you use it. Tesla needs a tire subscription option. :)

    Out of curiosity, what do you hate about your Tesla?

    Tesla took away the ability to have the rear camera on top while driving. Major annoyance. eMMC flash time bomb in MCU - REALLY not looking forward to this down the road. MCU outdated in less than a year of ownership. Burns through tires, a set a year. Door handles and potential issues down the...

    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    3/2017 Model S, I had both of mine replaced this month by a ranger. Not sure when they went, I just waited until near 50k and checked them and noticed they had deteriorated so had them get parts in on my last service visit. Didn't realize how large that assembly is!

    V10 on MCU1

    FYI: V10 doesn't fix the inability to put the rear camera on top. *sigh* Stop rendering the whole screen with a map! It's wasteful and we want our window flexibility back!

    Model S blinking Morse code with headlights when parked?

    I’ve been stuck on 28.2 while everyone upgrades and experienced this behavior this morning. I’ve had several update statuses in the MCU saying it was downloading and the bar would get about 3/4 cm and then no further. Then the next day it would say the car was up to date, but no updates...

    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    Took delivery of my 2017 Model S 3/24/2017, both mine are failing. Have about 45713 miles on mine, but have not checked them since around 20-30k. Will take in to get addressed soon, also have what might be a failing rear hatch strut (starting to make noise), had a bad coolant pump, a steering...

    Would it ever be worth it for Tesla to upgrade old cars as part of their business model?

    ..How many miles? Miles are more important for wear/tear than age. I'm at around 45k miles on my 2017 Model S and have had a coolant pump replaced, right upper control arm, steering rack and a sway bar. Going to take it in soon for daytime running light strips failing and a possibly failing...

    Unable to Get Service for MAJOR problems

    I had the 'stuck' charge port door issue, it turned out to just be a simple adjustment that you can do. There's a small circular 'button' on the pointy side of the door car-side, try unscrewing this a bit and it should stop sticking.
