you may have gotten lucky. I just paid to put my 5th one in. 4 under warrantee - 1 on me. 2014 P85. 51000 miles is the most any have lasted.

My 2014 S replacement battery just this week was $165 + installation. He came to my house and changed it for only $268 total. Great service. The nose cone cars have the battery up under the windshield with a fuse panel mounted on top.

Nice write-up. I just replaced both bulbs in my 2014 P85. I used Phillips D3S C1 bulbs. Almost 1/2 of my plastic fasteners did not survive and had to be replaced.

Since the motors drive an open differential I would suspect the tires out of alignment. There is no capability in the current tesla powertrain that allows for torque vectoring. (At least none I have read about) The torque of the plaid through a slightly damaged tire could make it move to one...

I have the EMMC recall completed. My NAV and voice commands still work great so there is hope. The recent software update that put the camera and phone icons back on the main menu at the bottom has been great as well. 2014 P85.

I upgraded my 2014 for $200 during my last service. Why blame Tesla for ATT cutting out 3G service? My 3G has been out at several places on my commute for months. I believe ATT had quit servicing 3G antennas a while ago.

Adding to an old thread. My 2014 P85 just had it's 3rd drive replacement. I am at 96954 miles. This one one failed Isolation tests. The same error as last time. They replaced again with a 1025598-0-T I am hoping for a lot of miles out of this one. I am out of warrantee in January 22...

All you had to do is not buy it. So sell it. Your opinion on the yoke should guide your actions not Tesla’s choice of steering devices.

Good luck. I had 2 Prii before my S. I hand repaired both battery packs my self, water pump on both, front axles on the red one, infotainment system on the white one time. They were OK cars but not trouble free and no great jump in build quality of my 2014 S. Comparing the S to a Prius? Is...

That front fender looks wider?

Old thread I know,but I just had another drive unit installed 7/8/2020. I am fairly easy on the car. I wonder how much the drive units will cost when the 8 year warrantee is out? PN: 1025598-00-T The old one failed isolation testing once towed to the service center from my house.

I did not drive after the errors appeared and I got home. On the third day It would not power up in the garage and we had to use a jump box to get it powered up enough to get it out of the garage.

No. They cancelled mobile service and I had to tow the car to a service center. It's been there 3 days including July 4th holiday.

I just had those two errors + a few more. My diagnosis just yesterday: New drive unit - old one failed isolation test Battery coolant heater Drive inverter to HVJbox cable Estimated repair date 7/10

Wow. Mine just started to yellow. I have 4500 miles of warrantee left. I need to get in line :)

My second year of ownership. 5 year old car. 22K miles plus this year Still the best car on the road. I commute like a boss. B0DB04FC-312E-4B2A-8F2F-AF2428B33F04 by Bobasaurus posted Jun 22, 2019 at 11:17 AM 34450677-A0DD-47BF-BCF3-FBEC280EA22A by Bobasaurus posted Jun 22, 2019 at 11:17 AM

Get one with the options you want and the mileage you want. They are all awesome. I bought a non-AP 2014 P85 with the only 8000 miles on it in 3 years, sunroof, big stereo, carbon fiber interior, spoiler, red calipers, giant frunk, Several long 500+ mile trips in it have been great. I have...

Sell it? You seem very upset. What if they did not update and your car spontaneously Singapore's up?

mine works best if i hit the button while the handle is near the middle of the rear window. Not near the charge port.

I first noticed the pump on a Saturday morning. I charge every night to 90%. It finishes charging between 5 and 6am. I am off to work most days by 6. If my car is at home in the morning it is at 90%. Just in case I have to travel to somewhere 227 miles away that day :)

I have not had the pump running issue since the first two days after 16.1.1 I am now on 16.2

My car seems to be back to normal. No running pump after charging two nights in a row with my standard 85 miles of driving per day. Bobby

If the fix released in 16.1.1 to run a pump after charging is the answer, I don't like it. My pump has run 8-10 hours after 2 consecutive daily charges using about 8 miles of range in the process. All mechanical devices have a lifetime and that pump is now getting a workout everyday, There is...

A video of the noise.

Based on two days of watching it seems to be an after charging event. If you charge and drive maybe the exercising of the battery takes the place of running the pump. I will watch closely tomorrow as I will take my usual 42 mile drive to work immediately after charging. Hopefully the pump...

My pump is back running this morning. I estimate it has been running since the charging stopped at 1am. I have lost 5 miles just sitting the the garage. This change is taking life out of that pump. This can't be the final solution for the battery fires. Using miles and killing a pump daily...

I lost 8 miles. I was plugged in with the standard cable. As far as I can tell it never used power from the wall. I just go back from a short trip and the car powered down as usual, no new noises. Bobby

Mine just stopped after 10.5 hours of continuous running. I happened to be in the shop working on another project at the time. After the pump stopped there was some pronounced gurgling and then silence. How strange. I believe it's some kind of test and data collection scheme launched with...

I have the same issue. 2014 P85. My pump has been running for 6 hours after a standard overnight charge @ 32amps. Over the last two years the car has never acted this way. Something changed in 2019.16.1.1 I am losing about 1 mile of charge per hour with the pump running. I have also...

Wow. It annoying in a quiet garage. How long do they expect that pump to last running 24/7? Mine is a 2014 non-AP P85 just for more info.

After the 16.1.1 update I have a constantly running pump. The sounds is coming from the front passenger side. Any others noticed this change? I have tried resetting with the buttons and the pump ran through the entire process.

Two bucket method with Meguiars wash and wax every week or so. Wax every 6 to 8weeks with HD Poxy. If I notice any small scratches or swirls after about 6 months I use HD Speed on a DA to eliminate those. 2 years and 41000 miles later and still looks great on my dark blue 2014 S.

Mine is specifically 12.11 Just updated and double checked the "dots"

2014 P85 - New Drive unit August 2018 ASY,P-TRAIN,RMN,MDLSX,SPORT,CMC,HS (1025598-00-P) Bobby

I have not noticed any difference.

I really like my P85's acceleration and the feel of RWD. It is much sportier off the line than the 60 I had as a loaner during my 1 year service. I have no 85 or P85D comparison drives.

Bolt love on a Tesla forum. And calling us juvenile. Funny.

Maybe. Same dealers. Same Management Style. It just easier to stick with Toyota for regular cars and Tesla for electric vehicles. GM burned my bridge and see no reason to build it back. :)

Get the S and never look back if you like big or fast cars. My CPO has been a great car. If you need or want a compact car then maybe look elsewhere. I would NOT go GM. My two GM cars were terrible experiences. Never again. Bobby

My center screen has started randomly rebooting since the update. 5 times in 3 days. Totally new phenomena for me.

I just had my 4 years service done and they did not change out the battery coolant. Corrections: 4 Year/50000 Mile/80000 km Service - Pulled logs and checked for active faults: No active faults. - Checked firmware version: Updated to latest version available. - Performed function check of...

My first trip back the service center was this week. It was a great experience. They had a Tesla loaner for me. Tesla Charlotte NC. The noisy drive unit was replaced. They also replaced the axles and hubs with the drive unit. My touchscreen had developed a small bubble - They replaced it...

I like the new maps with updated non-colors. Landmarks and traffic are a little easier for me to see. I use it everyday to negotiate my interstate commute. Bobby

My 1 year of ownership report. 21794 miles added this year. 6500 kWh used 30 washing, 4 waxes, and one machine polish performed. 29783 miles total on the car Original Michelin Tires have about 2/32 left to the wear bars. Rear ended once. 4 weeks in the body shop. The car has been an...

Love my CPO car. June 2017 purchase. Put my money down over the internet. Received a couple of calls. Then BAM! a Model S delivered. Total time about 7 weeks. My car did have a transfer to a closer SC. The are not very communicative through the process, but the final product was awesome...

The Santee SuC worked for me on 4/6/18 and 4/9/18. The reduced service seems to be that 3a and 3b are not working at all. Navigation show the SuC are temporarily closed.

My 2014 P85 has been awesome. I have put about 14000 miles on the car. It's fast, quiet, and efficient. We took it on 500 mile long trip to a Port Canaveral. Supercharging was free and quick in most places. Mid-day in FLA after running 75 MPH for an hour and half the charging seemed a...

After 10 weeks, 5126 miles, 2 software updates, and zero problems, I can state this is an awesome car. Keeping her clean is my only maintenance. I have settled on turtle wax ice wash, meguiars spray on detailer, meguiars ultimate wax, and griots interior cleaner. Bobby

We took a family trip from South Carolina to Port Canaveral in the Tesla. It was a great trip. We stopped at the Santee SC, Savannah GA, Kingsland GA, St Augustine FL, and Port Orange FL superchargers. The St Augustine stop was in the shade in the morning with tons of shopping available it was...

I am now at 1138 miles of ownership. I thought I would post some of my thoughts so far. The car is awesome. I have noticed on this forum, as well as on Mustang and Cobra forums I have frequented in the past, that the posts can skew negative about small issues as people try and get help with...
