Anyone with a refresh S have issues with part or all of the third brake light not functioning? Looks like a hoopty.

That would certainly be covered under warranty.Is that sort of thing covered by warranty, or does Tesla exclude lights?
Reboot didn't fix it. Trying a new software update now to see if that fixes it.Try a reboot. Other than that, they're going to have to remove the rear glass to replace it, unfortunately.
Happened to me a few months ago. Was replaced under warranty. They were able to salvage my rear glass which had a tint on it. Many times they choose to just install the light and new rear glass all in one go.

It will suck if they have to replace the glass. There is a high chance they will damage something else in the process.
Well, I guess I called it. It took the service center over a month to get the parts. They did the replacement recently and had to put new rear glass on to fix the third brake light. In the process they damaged the exterior and interior of the car and I have to get my rear glass re-tinted. They are offering to pay for everything, but it is disappointing and inconvenient to have to deal with the mess.
Just another day at Tesla Service I guess.
I’m having the same thing done Monday because they cracked the glass. Do you mind telling me what they damaged on the exterior and interior so I know what to look for when I pick my 22 msp up this week?Well, I guess I called it.

Looks like the same thing just happened to me (or maybe it was a long time ago, I only noticed accidentally when I was checking something on my driveway security camera and noticed it, who knows how long it's been like this!). Reading the above experiences, I am keeping my figures crossed they can 1) keep the back glass since I had it tinted and 2) don't break anything else. My local service center has been pretty good with not causing damage on other service visits on my X and this S so hopefully that continues. What a pain though that something like a "simple" light can't be build to last more than 18 months without burning out/ failing.....
I gotta say that's actually pretty generous. I'd never expect Tesla to cover the re-tint process. Nice that they did here.They ended up replacing the rear windscreen as well when replacing the center brake light - they covered the cost of re-tinting the rear window, they just asked for a copy of the invoice for the tinting, although it took about 3 weeks for the check to arrive from Fremont.
If I had to guess, like most things service center related, it’s probably hit or miss regarding whether they’ll cover the cost to retint.I gotta say that's actually pretty generous. I'd never expect Tesla to cover the re-tint process. Nice that they did here.
