Unnamed plug faced villian
Are there any indications of this problem occurring in cars produced after they extended the warranty? If not, why does it seem to happen repeatedly to older cars even after having the drive unit replaced? If they really can't seem to solve it, that worries me much more than the problem existing in the first place.
I finally ordered a car after the D announcement, AWD and the drive unit issues being the only things holding me back, but I couldn't have imagined this still being an issue. It's scary.
Don't be scared. They have solved it. I had my drive unit replaced over 14,000 miles ago. The original unit never died and only made a slight noise like the differential gear wasn't quite shimmed properly. The replacement unit has been completely silent and working perfectly. Tesla seems to be taking a "goodwill" approach and replacing any problematic drive units that happen within the reasonable life of the car. This really isn't an issue anymore.
