For the most recent DU, the invoice provides as follows: Part Quantity ASY,DRIVE,UNIT,3.0-150,REAR (1037000- 1 00-F)

I just found the invoice for this assessment of the whine. It states: "Test drove vehicle. This is normal operation of the contactors depending on age and ambient temp of the battery."

I've had motor whine since I purchased my CPO in August. Since then, I've had the DU replaced 3 times (one front and two rear). In each case Tesla engineers analyzed a recording of the whine and concluded DU replacement was required. My service center has been great to deal with, but at this...

At noon today I had one loading error and 10-20 seconds between songs. Speed was 65 kbps

I am in Raleigh and also getting 250kbps. Not getting loading errors, but still loading slow.

For the last four days I am having same problems. Slacker has always worked well for me, but now 5-15 seconds between songs, songs beings skipped because they cannot load, songs pausing, and a couple of loading errors.

Rear DU was replaced, so now I have new Front DU and Rear DU. The whine at 49-51mph is still present, maybe a drop quieter, and there is a new whine at 31-34mph which is as loud as 49-51 before... :( The rear DU part is: ASY,DRIVE,UNIT,3.0-150,REAR (1037000- 00-F)

Heard back from SC. Turns out the problem all this time was with the rear DU, not the front (which they replaced). Now I will have new front and rear DUs! :)

Dropped off MS at SC today for evaluation of the second DU. Loaner Model X has the same whine at half the volume...

My DU was replaced last week. It's hard to believe, but it sounds exactly the same, with the whine still being worst around 49mph. Not sure what do to. Since the Tesla engineers listened to a recording and concluded there was an issue before, they would have to agree there is an issue now...

Turn music up to 7 and if you can hear it over that, then it's is bad as mine. The whine is almost painful at around 49mph.

Update. Got a call from SC yesterday — based on the audio recording made by my SC, the Tesla engineerrs determined that there is a problem with the front drive unit, so there are going to replace it! I really appreciate the local SC taking seriously my concerns and escalating the issue to the...

Does anyone know if the replaced motors are rebuilt or new?

You should be whining after United's performance against RM yesterday ;) . Sorry for OT post, but could not resist.

I don't think the firmware is the issue, I am also on 2017.28.4 cf44833. After testing some more over the weekend, it seems 49-50mph is maximum whine/nails on a chalkboard, which can be heard over moderately loud music and is especially bad if I slightly depress the accelerator. As I get...

While there has been a good amount of prior discussion about the dual motor whine (I feel like I read almost everything there is on this topic before my purchase), nothing I read indicated how bad the "normal" whine can get (other than the milling sound where Tesla is replacing the DU). Tesla...

It just does not seem right that a car this expensive can have a whine 100% of the time when moving. I can live with the acceleration whine, but the other whining is driving me crazy. Yesterday I could hear it with the music volume on 6.5 (not quiet) and a/c running. Sometimes the sound is...

Anybody know whether this is an issue with the drive units in the newer dual motor cars? Most of the responses here are from owners with older cars. I would be interested to hear from those with a 2017 dual motor.

Range mode has been off. This is great to know! The whine is present almost 100% of the time. I would like to go back to SC with this kind of anecdotal evidence. Hopefully others with dual motor will report the same, as this would contradict what I was told by the head mechanic. Thanks for...

Yesterday I picked up a CPO 2015 85D with 57k miles. The motor has an obnoxious high pitch whine that randomly increases in volume, especially around 25-45mph, and seems to be the worst when I maintain a speed of ~25mph. I read almost everything I could find on TMC and elsewhere and concluded...

It’s hard to imagine they drove it. I had a couple other people in the car today and they immediately noticed the whine. In case anyone is interested, here is the list of repairs/work completed (provided by my DS via email) -Rear Driver Window noisy when lowering, cleaned and lubed the...

Car was delivered today. It will be 6 weeks as of Saturday. Cannot believe it has 57k miles. Looks brand new on the outside (prior owner had it wrapped). The inside looks great too, except for the cupholder in the console, which they apparently forgot to clean. It has stuck on food and...

I’ve got a 2015 85D CPO with 57k miles that I expect to be available for delivery in the next couple of weeks. I asked DS for the 90% and 100% numbers. He told me 234 at 90% and 260 at 100%, which seems OK to me. Agreed?

I don’t know the answer to your question, but I suggest posting your question in the Model S Interior & Exterior Forum (more likely to get a response).

Sounds reasonable. I am paying $60.5k for my 2015 85D with 57k miles AP1 Deep Blue Metallic All Glass Pano Roof Gray Next Gen Seats Carbon Fiber Decor Smart Air Suspension Premium Interior Package Ultra High Fidelity Sound

Someone from Tesla must be be watching these forums – I received a response from DS a few hours after posting this message, at 2am!

Communication and transparency could definitely use work. Nothing bad has happened (so far), but it’s like pulling teeth to get simple updates/information. DS informed me last week that car might be ready for pickup this week (week 4 of 4-6 week estimate) which took me by surprise since...

Anyone have a preferred vendor for these services? Thanks!

That is exactly what my electrician is going to do on Friday (without surge protector) – my panel is also on the opposite side of the house. He quoted $400, but I guess we will see what happens then...

Nick did not respond to my phone call or text, so I am going with Roy Electric. $400+tax. The electrical panel in my garage is full, so he is going to have to pull wire from the outside electrical panel that is next to my electrical meter.

I am hoping to take delivery of a 2015 CPO 85D with 55k miles in the next couple of weeks. While I don’t expect the car to have the same range it did when it was new, it seems like there should be a range number where it is reasonable for me to make it an “issue.” Do you think (1) it is...

Unify - 2.99% Tech CU - 1.99% Both for 72 months

Thanks! I will check out Arc.

Maybe the trick is to tell the electrician what is needed without mentioning that it’s for a Tesla. Is it possible that some electricians double their rates when they hear “Tesla”?

His company is NC Electrical Group: NC Electrical Group, LLC - Residential & Commercial Electricians - Apex, Cary, Garner, Raleigh, NC

I would also appreciate his contact information.Thanks!

Just asked my current provider (NC Farm Bureau) for a quote on my 2015 S85D, which I hope will be delivered to me in the next month. They estimate an increase in my annual payment by $1,100 :eek:. I’ve been with them for 10 years without any signficant increases, but guess it is time to shop...

6/24 Ordered CPO Deep Blue Metallic S85D. Car in Atlanta, free shipping to Raleigh for inspection/reconditioning.Spoke with CPO Advisor. He told me 3-6 weeks. 7/5 Curious about status of delivery/inspection, so emailed advisor in the early morning. No response so sent follow-up email at end of...

Thanks for your responses! The lawyer in me wanted to analyze all possibilities, and assign probabilities and monetary values to different outcomes. I am going to stop thinking about it and stick with the higher mileage CPO.

I average 14-15k per year

The question for me is whether the additional $13k is worth it for 40k less miles and 4yr warranty? If this were an ICE car, I am more likely to pay the additional $13k for less miles and longer warranty. I am having trouble assessing whether an MS with 57k miles is an concern or not. I've...

Starting to worry that paying $60k for 57k miles with 2 year warranty is not smart, when I can get equivalent car with less than 20k miles and full 4yr CPO warranty for $13k more. Still think $60k for AP1 85D is a good deal, but having doubts... I would appreciate your opinions.

I just looked at some photos of the deep blue with red calipers, it looks pretty sweet. How does one go about painting their calipers red?

I think I got a decent deal; just put down deposit today: $60,500 2015 85D 57233 miles AP1 Deep Blue Metallic All Glass Pano Roof 19 wheels Gray Next Gen Seats Carbon Fiber Decor White Alcantara Headliner Smart Air Suspension Premium Interior Package Ultra High Fidelity Sound
