Has anyone that did not receive their floor mats, cargo covers, etc. received them yet or heard any updates on them?

@MarcG got them. But he went by the service center to get them, not contacted (if I recall).

 

[Muzzman1]

Funny, not funny.
We just wait now. We just wait and see if they will get us new packs.

My Saga continues further. I decided to get the car down to a low SOC to see how the pack reacts. When I plugged it in, this message came on the screen.
A 1st for me even after owning 5 Tesla's prior and over 250k miles.

 

[Phlier]

Man, you just can’t seem to catch a break!

So sorry to hear this. What is Tesla telling you at this point?

Ugh. Your car is so bad, just like mine! At least you have really, really real ammunition for a new pack!

That should be enough to get Tesla to replace the battery. (Which was the expected outcome because of the imbalance your pack was suffering from.)

Now that just leaves @WilliamG that needs to get the error or confirmation from Tesla that they will replace his pack.

The data has been sent to "engineering"

The next software update will fix it. Have you tried a tire rotation? Failing that, have you replaced the blinker fluid yet? One of these should take care of it.

Yeah… still waiting. Tesla service wants me to bring the car in so they can reset the estimated range. Ridiculous.

I’m working on other avenues of resolution. Hopefully know something in the next day or two.

They reset @Muzzman1's on Thursday, and the error came up today. So it took about a week for the BMS to give up and call it quits. So if going in to get it reset isn't a huge hassle that might help move things along. (Though the time from reset to error may be more related to usage than time.)

I think it’s the muffler bearing that needs replacement.

 

[WilliamG]

Dude! Now you’re just being silly…

Definitely the blinker fluid.

 

[MP3Mike]

Definitely the blinker fluid.

If you have blinker fluid in the battery, that could definitely be the root cause of your problem.

That is typically the dead pack message, so that is kinda good news.

.....It get better!
I've set the car to charge to 100% on my 80A HPWC. The charge rate began to taper from 40A at 23% SoC. At this time, The car has 25% SoC and is charging at 2kW (10A)
I suspect the charging will stop at 27% and I will not be able to charge the pack any further.

FYI, I briefly interrupted the charge in case the handle was not pushed in all the way, so that reset the "added" counter.

My Pack is Done.

Hopefully I can get a new one pretty quick, cause 80mi of range is not going to cut it for me.

Edit, it stopped charging at 26%. It's Dead.

Have you not done enough!? That poor battery! It’s crying out. Crying out I tell you! LEAVE IT ALONE, YOU DEPRAVED MANIAC!

I want it dead. I don't want there to be any ambiguity.

Yes,
I just got notice that they are replacing my pack.

It's about time.

Do they have an ETA for when your replacement pack will arrive and be installed? (Curious on the wait time for the new packs.)

I will see in the AM when I take it in.
I suspect it's going to be while being EOQ and all.
