On my invoice in Dec 22 it was $165 for the battery and $42 for labor plus state tax. I found it hard to find a compatible battery outside of Tesla and the ones that would physically fit had the posts inverted so I would have had to add an extension cable. Not something I wanted to do.

Correct. Tesla will only replace the entire door handle assembly for about $300. If it's just the paddle gear that is broken they sell it $6 but you will have to replace it yourself.

If someone is looking for the website linked above it seems to have changed. Website is now: https://tesla-alerts-dictionary.corehacked.com

I have the iPhone 13 Pro so very similar besides the screen and battery size. No issues.

I had the same decision to make about 3 years ago and decided to just stay with the Goodyears. Knowing that I would only drive about 5K Miles per year and that any tire gets noisy as the rubber hardens with age, purchasing a tire that typically lasts only 25-30K miles was acceptable. I got the...

This is sad to see. I would have thought Tesla fixed this irritating issue on the refresh (2021+). My 2017 75D has "regularly scheduled" door panel problems. They eventually loosen up over time but never completely fall of since there are two bolts and about 8 plastic clips and 4 metal...

@SneepeZ That's interesting that you purchased a newer revision than the one in the Tesla parts catalog.

Base is Rev E. Up-level is F. Log into Tesla parts catalog with your Tesla account credentials. epc.tesla.com

If your handy than it's only $6 to purchase a replacement paddle gear on Gen3 door handles which is what typically breaks on them. Gen3 door handles were introduced Jun/Jul 2017.

Definitely a "Good Deal". It even says so, therefore it must be true. We all know the 21's always add at least 10K+ to the value.

A local dealer seems to think used is worth more than new. It's been for sale since April of last year! Dealer info blocked out as I wouldn't want anyone to jump ahead of me to purchase....lol.

@electricar I am an engineer by trade and can't think of anything but a charging profile specific to what type of battery is installed as to the reason why this menu item exists. Please enlighten me as to other reasons. Thanks.

I forgot to mention that shortly after I had the 12V battery replaced I noticed in the service menu that the 12V battery type no longer matched what was installed so I went ahead and changed it. Not sure if the technician even new about this setting or not. The previous battery had the red...

There seems to be a lot of different part numbers for the 12V battery depending on model year. Attached is mine from Dec 2022 for a 2017 Model S 75D. I couldn't find an equivalent battery that had the posts in the correct orientation so I ended up purchasing direct from Tesla and had them...

Rennstand. Not my car but a photo I found on the web.

Rattles are not covered under warranty although if identified very early on like maybe the first month of ownership they may "good will" the fix. See warranty exclusions below. After Tesla went into high volume production with the Model 3 their once extraordinary service such as fixing rattles...

The only thing that would make that noise is a stalled handle motor. I can find the part number (#24 below) for the front door motor on Tesla's part catalog but can't find one for the rear doors which seems strange. I would assume that they are the same part though. Designated as an Over the...

My problem has been fixed with the music drop outs. I originally put in a service request due to no longer being able to access the car via the app when on wifi. I suspected a failing connectivity board based on seeing some comments on another thread. After having it replaced I no longer get...

AP1 has no upgrade path so wouldn't include the FSD computer as part of the MCU2 upgrade.

"Random software occurrence"...lol @Snax Thanks for closing the loop on this.

The front end damage picture is not a Tesla. That is most likely totaled.

Thanks. I am shopping for a new car for my wife but have been hesitant on getting another Tesla because of these "glitches" that are introduced. Two steps forward and one step back or at times zero steps forward and two steps back.

I am having the same issues on all my in car streaming music choices. I don't have XM so can speak to that option. Problem since at least 2023.2.10, 2023.2.11 and now 2023.2.12.

I just noticed multiple instances of this same error in my service menu along with another error, DI_w015_immoblizer. I found a website, "Tesla Alerts Dictionary" that decodes these but doesn't really give any further insight. Things that make you go Hmmmm...

I will add to the "grand standing" by noting that my Mom's 2000 Toyota Camry has never had the A/C serviced and still blows cold as of last year. I just looked at the owners manual and it is silent as far as any desiccant replacement requirement/schedule and has never been recommended by the...

Also add a round steering wheel as a no cost option for 2023.

Canceled :(

I don't think it's just zinc as a magnet stuck to it.

While the gen 3 hall sensor seems to be more robust than the microswitches, the paddle gear is not...at least not the ones that came with my Aug 2017 build. I recently replaced a paddle gear with one that was obviously a revised part (104285-00-B). It is now "skeletonized" and no longer has...

Yes, MCU2 comes with the LTE upgrade.

Thanks for sharing your picture as it shows the clearance issue for the motor screws. I understand drilling the hole allows movement of the shaft just enough to slip the new gear on but from the YouTube video that I saw where they drilled the hole they had to use a hammer and considerable force...

I just completed replacing the paddle gear on my gen 3 door handle. The set screw size that holds the shaft is a T8 Torx. You can find a set from Harborfreight. SKU is 97517. I removed the shaft without having to drill a hole as I took it out the opposite way in which it was originally...

It was actually promised by 2017. I am no longer holding my breath as I have passed out...lol. This is the reason I am glad I did not purchase FSD as I would still be waiting going on over 5 years now.

I installed a PureFlow cabin air filter (PC99476X) about three years ago. It took care of the musty odor when using the AC so I would give it a thumbs up. I don't have the Bioweapon HEPA filter so I can't comment on that.

There is only the cabin air filter if you don't have the Bioweapon HEPA air filter. The cabin air filter is behind the glove box. The design is the same from 2016 after the refresh and didn't change until 2021. I purchased it from Amazon. It took care of the musty odor I had when running...

Houstonian said it was "Covered by the 50k warranty" (I assume it was replaced for no cost with the basic 4 yr/50k mile warranty), not that it came with a 50k warranty. There's a big difference.

Cabin overheat protection seems to cover what you want. It is a separate setting not related to normal climate settings and is active when interior exceeds 105 degrees although only lasts 12 hours or until battery drops below 20% which seems reasonable.

No argument Tesla has issues with parts availability. I had to wait 1 month for a windshield pre-pandemic and 3 weeks for a headlight but having to wait 7 months has got to be pushing near record wait times even for Tesla.

Long wait time for parts are not unique to Tesla. A friend of mine ran into a curb the day after a snow storm on Dec 26th last year and is finally getting all the parts (suspension and side curtain air bags) to put it all back together on a Mazda CX-5 which is Mazda's most popular auto. That's...

Base cost has recently increased from $1500 to $1750 and $2250 for AP2 or 2.5 configurations. More info here. The additional $500 includes the AP computer upgraded to AP3 whether you want it or not. The website doesn't state the reason for the additional cost but that is what you will end up...

Agreed but I never met a rich person that doesn't like saving money.

It will also kill demand for MYP orders as currently delivery wait time is Aug-Oct 2022 as I write this.

I wonder how many buyers will delay taking delivery until next year if they have a model 3 or Y on order now and are scheduled to take delivery before end of year. I found an article that summarizes the legislation impact for Tesla here. There's nothing better to put yourself to sleep then by...

That's good you got it installed before the price bump. For the browser problem somethings obviously not working correctly. While I wouldn't suggest MCU2 has a blazing fast browser, it certainly is usable compared to the MCU1 browser which was completely useless.

Lesson learned....never believe a sales rep as they know nothing and clearly make stuff up (aka BS)! Congratulations on your performance upgrade at a cost of zero? July of 2017 was the tipping point for me to seriously consider the purchase of a Model S when Tesla announced that the 75D 0-60...

Hopefully Tesla honored the original quote as the price has increased to $1750 for the MCU2 upgrade ($2250 for owners that have AP2/2.5).

What about adjustable head rests? I have motorized head rest adjustments on the front seats of my Model S but that feature sadly didn't last very long. Have they been added back to the refresh Model S?

I just set mine up also.

It will no longer be applicable to your car after MCU2 upgrade so disappears as an open recall.

To keep things straight on the model number and year of production, the Tesla Model S wiki use to have this chart but has been removed on the current version. I had to reach into the Wayback Machine to find it.
