Tesla is sending untrained employees to work on cars as service becomes problematic

Tesla is sending some of its employees who are not in service and are untrained to work on cars into...

Sadly, this is going to make service quality even worse.. as per usual with Elon, it’s all about optics, and in this case, it’s just about reducing the delay to obtain service - not fix the quality of said service, which is much more important in my opinion! (and don’t get me started on “best service is no service”, as if Tesla built high-quality mantra in their factory output requirements..)

I got a new one today too. "UI_a111 re-insert USB into glovebox for higher speed. Contact service if issue persists"

Of course, re-inserting the USB does nothing.

That error message comes and goes for me. It seems to reset itself

Picked up '22 LR on Thursday and 80 miles in it's giving me DI_a250 and TAS2_a314 "Adaptive ride control disabled drive with caution" as well as limiting my max speed to 90mph. Service center scheduled for Tuesday

I just had this same error code pop up. Does it need to go to service center, or was there an easy fix? thanks

I went to the sales location in my area to test drive two weeks ago. The sales rep told me all test drives had been suspended indefinitely. I asked why and he said because at any given moment they might be called down to work in service. Said he was just in service yesterday…

I am hoping these folks are doing the non-technical admin tasks and actual technicians are still working on our cars.

I also hate the best service is no service motto. They first need to have the factory quality to meet that requirement.

One SA told me that they take in cars and record the concerns when the service staff are busy.

I had my car brought in a few weeks ago and the service advisor was actually from Sales. Basically they were note takers and examining my issues to confirm. I'm okay with this so long as the people that are actually working on my car are the trained technicians.

 

[impastu]

I was in SC today and noticed the sales advisor I've known for a couple of years cross-training into service reception. It seems logical that there would be cross-training as there is a lot of cyclicality through the quarter for sales and intra-day for service reception.

It can raise and lift if I push the button, but it's the dynamic dampening that doesn't work. So basically small bumps feel like big bumps when driving.

Two error codes I'm getting are DI_a250 and TAS2_a314

Hey I've been getting those codes for a few months every day, any solutions? Tesla has been continuously pushing back my service dates and I'm also getting a "Speed limited to 90mph" error

Latest issue I have is the BMS is changing the charge rate. Working with Tesla engineering to review logs and test to find the issue. Could be a bug in the latest SW. Joys of having OTA.

I just got rev F yoke today. The buzz is gone! The rattling over bumps is gone! The haptic feedback is much less strong, but at least it is totally silent.

Also, it could be my imagination, but it seems smaller. I'll have to measure it so someone can compare. If it is smaller, I really like it. Feels good and doesn't hit my knees on turns.

YOKE STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY PUR(1622612-00-F)

They also replaced my window regulator to fix the glass in the passenger door. Now the door is easy to close.

They didn't fix the creaking in my suspension or the vibrations. I drove the car with the lead tech and they said they couldn't feel them and couldn't fix them.

They did say they would replace the console again to try and fix the light, after I showed them again what is wrong with it.

I also got an "F" yoke as a replacement for my yoke issue (no haptics)

Is it my imagination or is the rev. F yoke a bit smaller? It feels great! Maybe there's more padding? It feels less like a rectangle. I think it is great now. And no buzz!

Tape measure and pics, please.

For the record, this is the Original yoke that came in my 2021 439*** VIN car.

Any money on them all being the same dimensionally?

What is the F yoke? Does it have the horn in the middle?

 

[brunla]

To those who have had GPS location issues on your car. (It shows your location as being slightly off to miles away.) After 8 months of hell, they found a "temporary" fix. The cabin camera wire was somehow causing "interference" to the GPS. It needs to be insulated until they can find a permanent solution.
For now it has been working fine for the last two weeks. Fingers crossed it continues on.

The revision F yoke is believed to be the one that can have the horn in the middle enabled with a software update.

You win.

Guess it's all mental. It feels better now without the buzzing and rattling from whatever was loose inside.

But, it wasn't quiet for long! The passenger door they worked on just fell apart! All the clips are broken and some harness is loose and rattling around. It just never ends!
