    How to sue Tesla over historical claims

    I was shocked. They offered to settle for the cost of the upgrade plus the court fees if I dismiss the case. They sent over the paperwork today. The guy who I spoke with seemed very understanding of my situation and was not confrontational at all. He suggested I proceed with paying for the...

    How to sue Tesla over historical claims

    Thanks for the feedback. I plan on talking with him today. I opened the case because we bought FSD shortly after we bought our MCU1 car in 2017 and it was sold to us under the assumption that "all hardware necessary for FSD" was already included with the car. We were told that buying the FSD...

    IRO DashCam - Model S AP2 unboxing

    I've had the IRO cam for my AP2 car for 6 years now. It's always worked perfectly. Yesterday I noticed it was off. I've tried turning it on but it won't come on. I tried reformatting the SD card but that did not help. Has anyone experienced their IRO cam just refusing to turn on?

    How to sue Tesla over historical claims

    I successfully served Tesla last week and filed the proof with the clerk of court. This week, someone from Tesla Litigation contacted me via email and wants to talk over the phone. Did this happen to any of you? If so, what did you do and how did it turn out?

    MCU2 upgrade duration and problems

    They quoted me $1500 to upgrade to MCU2. Add $500 for the FM tuner. I think the price is lower if the FSD HW3 upgrade was already performed, which we had done back in 2020.

    Feeling scammed on FSD retrofit. Am I in the wrong?

    Granted, but there is a difference between occasionally upgrading the car's firmware to satisfy recalls and actually building out FSD for MCU1.

    Feeling scammed on FSD retrofit. Am I in the wrong?

    They released what was already an old version of FSD for MCU1 and quickly pulled it afterwards. Only a handful of MCU1 cars actually received it. What's clear is that bringing FSD to MCU1 is the lowest of low priorities for Tesla. Those of us who purchased in 2017 have battery and drivetrain...

    MCU2 upgrade duration and problems

    For those who upgraded to MCU2, how long did it take the SC to complete the job? Have you encountered any problems since upgrading?

    FSD with MCU1

    I've actually opened a small claims case asking for the $2k needed to upgrade to MCU2. My argument is that the car was sold to me as having "all hardware necessary for FSD" back when I bought it, and despite having paid for FSD I haven't gotten anything while v12 gets a wide release. I also got...

    We will drive by tonight and see if it's on. Wish it wasn't taking so long. This is a great location.

    Freeze my UI and OTAs please.

    This is one problem I'd love to have. My Model S with MCU1 has been stuck on the same 2022 firmware for the past 2 years.

    When did the "request FSD beta" button go away?

    Thanks everyone. I very much appreciate the help.
  15. pelargir

    When did the "request FSD beta" button go away?

    Thanks. I'm guessing it was mid-2023? Do you know approximately when? This is important for my small claims case against Tesla. I paid for FSD long ago and have been given nothing. What I'm able to prove now that v12 is in wide release is that everyone who has MCU2 and paid for FSD has received...

    When did the "request FSD beta" button go away?

    I have MCU1 so I haven't been getting any FSD updates. I still have the "request FSD beta" button, although it's not doing anything at the moment. I'm on very old firmware (2022). Can anyone tell me approximately when Tesla removed the "request FSD beta" button? I assume it was removed in a...

    Anyone with pre-refresh Model S have FSD 12?

    Well sure, but I'll bet dollars to donuts it's an MCU2 car, not MCU1.

    How to sue Tesla over historical claims

    @gearchruncher thank you. And thank you for your original post. This is very helpful information. I'm in a somewhat different situation in that I bought my MS in 2017 and opted not to pay for FSD at the time (although we did buy EAP which was $5k). I later bought FSD capability in 2020 for $3k...

    2022.8.10.17 2017 MCU1 AP2 HW3

    Okay, so it's not 100% of MCU2 vehicles, but it's pretty close. The point is, the FSD firmware for MCU2 exists right now. It doesn't for MCU1 (at least, not any longer since the previous build from Jan was pulled due to "safety reasons"). I was sold FSD capability in 2020. I'm now being told my...

    2022.8.10.17 2017 MCU1 AP2 HW3

    @BitShop it's infuriating. I've been asking my local SC to do the upgrade to MCU2 for years and they insist I'll have to pay, despite Tesla's wording that my car was sold with "all hardware necessary for full self driving." They keep claiming FSD for MCU1 is "coming soon" but they can't give me...

    How to sue Tesla over historical claims

    @gearchruncher who should I name as defendant in my case? Would that be the registered agent in my state, which is CT Corporation Systems, or would it be the local service center?

    FSD with MCU1

    Sure! I’d take either option at this point.

    FSD with MCU1

    My 2017 Model S with MCU1 got FSD Beta last year. I then took it to the SC for the eMMC recall and whatever they did removed FSD Beta from the vehicle. I haven't gotten it back since, despite repeated requests to the SC and to [email protected] for them to send it again. I'm at the point where...

    MS at SC for 2 weeks after eMMC recall

    Our 2017 MS was taken to our local SC for the eMMC recall over 2 weeks ago... and it's still there. It took them 48 hours to perform the initial recall service, after which they tried to give me back the car but everything was broken. No GPS, autopilot, FSD, auto wipers, navigation, etc. The...

    Wiki FSD’s Earliest Adopters Still Waiting

    I'm very happy those of you with AP 2.0 cameras are getting a free upgrade. That's awesome! Our late 2017 MS has AP 2.5 cameras and has been upgraded to HW3 when we bought FSD, but we're still on MCU1. I asked the service center if I could get a firmware version more recent than last year and...

    FSD Beta for MCU1 cars

    Ok, I guess we did get something. You have a point. However, $3k for traffic lights with no other FSD features is not worth it. When we bought our MS back in 2017 we had Tesla's commitment that the car was FSD-capable. When we bought the FSD package the next year, Tesla again promised we would...

    FSD Beta for MCU1 cars

    Same here. Paid $3k for FSD a few years ago and so far have nothing to show for it. Everyone else is getting 2021 firmware updates, but we're still stuck on 2020.48.37.6 because I refuse to pay extra for MCU2 just to get FSD. We're happy with MCU1 and see no reason to upgrade. If Tesla continues...

    What's the likelihood we will see Speed Limit Sign recognition?

    It sounds like this only works on HW3. Does anyone know if it requires FSD to work? Does anyone on here have HW3 but no paid FSD upgrade? Does the speed sign recognition work for you?

    Model S All Glass Roof Rack now available for purchase

    Got an appt with our service center to have this retrofit done. We were quoted $1132 plus tax. This is in addition to the $550 for the rack itself, of course. They did not give me any details about what the retrofit actually changes.

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    Tesla just replaced the rear hatch power struts on our 2017 MS 75D. They had been developing large quantities of black, crumbly gunk at the upper ends and had been making strange noises. I was told it's a known problem and that newer struts don't fail like this.

    Voice commands suddenly not working

    They replaced the wiring harness in the steering wheel and that fixed the problem. So it wasn't software, it was definitely hardware.

    Voice control button broken

    This happened to us too. 2017 MS. They replaced the wiring harness in the steering wheel which fixed the problem. Symptoms: nothing happened when we clicked the voice control button. After leaving the car for a while and getting back in, suddenly the car was listening to us as if we had hit the...

    Cannot set rear hatch height after replacing power struts

    Tesla replaced the failing power struts on our 2017 MS today. The hatch is too low so I tried resetting the height. I’m physically moving the hatch to the desired height and holding the open/close button for 2 seconds but instead of the usual beep to confirm the new setting, I get nothing...

    Yellow screen? Force Tesla to Replace it!

    We've been waiting over a year for the fix and were finally able to get something scheduled at our SC last week. Keeping my fingers crossed that the treatment actually works and is persistent. Getting to this point has been nothing short of a a herculean effort. From the very start, Tesla...

    Voice commands suddenly not working

    Similar experience with our 2 year old MS. Voice commands worked fairly well when we got the car. Over time, and as more updates came in, it got worse. It would only seem to hear us half the time, or it would take forever to actually do what we asked even when it did hear us. For the past 3...

    Configurator screen captures from Oct 2017?

    This is a long shot but does anyone have screen captures from the Tesla configurator from Oct 2017 showing the various options and prices, including the EAP and FSD upgrade pricing? I'd like to have these for my own records but unfortunately was not foresighted enough to take them when we...

    Yellow screen? Force Tesla to Replace it!

    We recently scheduled an appointment with mobile service to have our yellow touchscreen replaced. We've waited nearly a year, all the while being told that "a fix is coming" and that we "need to be patient." Very frustrating. Tesla texted today saying the tooling for the fix wasn't available...

    Software bug? Connected phone auto-plays behind Slacker

    Does anyone else have trouble with their MS randomly playing music on their phone behind a Slacker station? When I last left the car I was listening to a Slacker stream. When I get into the car the next day the Slacker station starts playing again, but at the same time the music on my iPhone...

    Stopped by this past weekend. I'm so happy about this new location as it's perfect for our trips to the VA mountains. Previously we were having to route through Wytheville when returning which is out of the way. One ICE'er while we were there, but he stayed in the car the whole time. We were...

    Any 2017 Owners Think The New Fsd Pricing Is Unfair?

    We bought our MS in 2017. At the time, the configurator showed EAP as being $5k ("$6k upgrade after delivery") and FSD as being $3k ("$4k upgrade after delivery"). There was no wording that would indicate the "upgrade after delivery" prices would ever change. We bought EAP for $5k, figuring we...

    screen discoloration

    Fellow YBS here. SC promised to replace the screen when the new part comes in. It's quite noticeable and bothersome. For me, at least, it's greatly detracting from the experience of driving a Tesla. This car is barely a year old. What a shame.

    Paintless Dent Removal - central North Carolina?

    The service center here in Raleigh recommends National Dent Works. We'll be visiting today to get an estimate on our MS. We have dents in the rear door and rear quarter panel. I'll let you know how it goes.

    Software Update 2018.24.1 12dd099

    Got this update last night but the release notes were blank (just an empty white window). Even when I hit the Tesla logo and bring up the release notes again, they're still blank. Has this happened to anyone else? The upgrade was successful because we have vector maps and the speed limiter.
