Frequent heat pump failures on Giga Berlin Ys delivered in Norway

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
A lot of Norwegians receiving their Model Ys (Giga Berlin production) have for some time now gotten failures on their heat pumps. The issue is supposedly due to a production error in the Berlin plant and metal particles that should not have been present are being taken into the HP system when using the heater (ext. source). The HP failures are so frequent that service centers are now having issues getting replacement parts. With Tesla not having any communications dept. and Norway management has a no-communications policy on such issues, more details on this is scarce.

Anyone from other countries receiving Giga Berlin had similar issues?

Yes, since April 2023 my Tesla is under repair for “P1-replace AC Components and HVAC flush” — why it takes more than a month - is mysterious.
Model Y from Oct 2022 driven 6000 km. Tesla knows which cars has the potential problem - but don’t tell the customers…the error could happen anytime and results in total stop…which would be nice to know before driving thru europe with your kids and pets…standing at roadside in middle of the night. Remember to take all your belongings out or the car, especially those alive - since you can’t get access to the car since the 12voltage sets out after 1/2 hour since it no longer gets power from the main batteri - which had 70% power at time of the breakdown. Did Tesla advice me of that during emergency call for assistance - not a word.
