Hi All,
I'd like to share a baffling experience and would appreciate some feedback and thoughts.
This past weekend on Saturday around 12:30 PM, I was about to take my car out when I got these notifications:
I tried exiting/reentering the car and restarting the system, but still got the same errors. I drove a different car to do some errands, and stopped by a Tesla service center to ask them about these errors. They recommended that I get a tow truck and/or drive my car in to get it inspected.
When I got home, I was able to drive my car out about 3 min from my house when the whole car short-circuited with the following alarms:
I had my car towed to the service center, received an estimate from Tesla on the repairs, and just received an update saying that the repairs are complete and ready for payment and pickup.
What's frustrating is that the estimate lists the repairs, but there's no explanation why the parts failed, whether they should have failed, or if there's a bigger underlying problem. I did have my 12V battery replaced in October 2023, and all of a sudden I have this electrical issue. Tesla will likely provide an unsatisfactory answer, all for the cost of $3,700.
Has anyone experienced this problem, or could anyone provide some insight on what could've causes this problem? I've had no issues with my car since having the 12V replaced; I can't recall if a software update preceded this event.
All in all, it's frustrating to have to pay out of pocket for a system failure that may have very much happened by coincidence, but I'm wondering if this is a faulty parts issue and if I can argue that Tesla should be covering the costs.
If you made it through this read, I thank you for your time and will appreciate any feedback.
Thank you!
