There's a thread in the Model 3 forums about these errors that some Model S owners responded to (including me), so creating its own Model S thread.
Immediately after Supercharging on a road trip recently, I was slammed with errors, explicitly DAS_w009, ESP_w001, ESP_w002, ESP_w003, GTW_w181, DI_w039.
Functionally the vehicle lost AP1, cruise control, collision detection, regenerative braking, ABS, traction control, stability control. Made for a fun 350 miles to get home.
The service estimate says the errors will be resolved by replacing the Front Anti-lock Brake Intelligent System Wheel Speed Sensor Assembly (1037794-00-B) for $33 parts, $376.25 labor (which includes the $107.5 diagnosis charge).
These errors broke my all-time record of 15 months not needing service - I hadn't needed to do a repair since Oct 2021 when I did a 12V battery and gen1 to gen3 door handle replacement. In terms of physically visiting a Service Center, it had been 17 months (from when I got the eMMC recall/upgrade).
Now, for my lessons learned from my first Service Center experience. Might be old news to a lot people, but was all new to me.
-Do not trust that the staff messaging you in the service chat have actually looked at the status of your service.
-Do not trust that the service appt status in the app is actually the latest status of the service appt.
Scheduled my appt Wednesday evening, got the auto response "please feel free to drop off your car prior to the service to be placed in the diagnostic queue and reviewed as work load allows."
Responded Friday morning, "bringing the vehicle this morning to allow review Friday afternoon or Saturday as work allows."
Got the response Friday morning, "Perfect! Please allow 48-72 hours for diagnosis after check-in."
Drove the 50 min to the Service Center. The desk staff looked up my ticket and asked, "why are you here? The car was diagnosed yesterday (Thursday) and one part we need won't be here until Wednesday. Did you not review the service estimate?"
I showed the staff that no, the service in my app still showed as the "preparation" step.
-The app does not allow you to check every error if you have too many, but Service will look at them and charge you a diagnosis fee even if you don't check them.
When scheduling the service, the top checkbox under vehicle errors/alerts was for a recall on the frunk latch. I couldn't find a way to scroll the box for checking items, so of the alerts I had (and stated above), I was only able to check the top 3 or 4.
After talking with the staff in person, she updated the status of my appt in the app and the estimate appeared. Imagine my surprise when an alert I didn't check (and actually didn't know I had suffered, as it was not a persistent error) was looked at by service and given a second $107.50 diagnosis fee since it was a different part requiring replacement.
-If Mobile Access is enabled, you do not need to leave a fob.
The staff asked if I was able to access/unlock my vehicle via the app. I said yes, and she said "ok, we don't need a fob from you."
-No loaners or Uber credits for any customer pay or recall work.
When asked, "since the part won't be here until Wednesday, do you still want to leave it?" I responded with, "sure, I'll leave it and just use the Uber credits or a loaner if you've got one."
She dropped the bomb on me - "sir, we don't offer loaner or Uber credits unless its warranty work. Anything customer pay related, its on the customer to get to/from us."
I pointed out I do have a recall on the estimate for my frunk latch; she said that did not count.
