My sister has one that has an electrical sound (high pitched frying bacon or welder type sound) that the service center said needs a whole new drive unit b/c it is the "link between the inverter and the motor"Whining is usually inverter, fluid seal failure related.
4years/40k1st replacement was under the cars warranty. Does Tesla have a warranty for replacement drive units? They should last .ore than 20k miles.
4 years / 50k miles for customer pay replacements. DUs replaced under warranty do not carry any additional warranty beyond what came with the car.1st replacement was under the cars warranty. Does Tesla have a warranty for replacement drive units? They should last .ore than 20k miles.
The only thing that matters is what’s in writing. Tesla service center employees are a terrible source of information unfortunately.Tesla SC told me all du's 4yrs/40k on Monday. Replacement on the way.
Hope is not a strategy, and there are lots of people here that have shelled out the big bucks…Maybe the du's are so problematic that they are "goodwilled".
