I have the same exact problem with my 2013 Model S. They're replacing the screen and computer for a cost of $2000. This seems like it should be a recall issue to me given how many people have the same situation.

Leaky Touchscreen!
- Thread starter LIMITLESS
- Start date
So I developed the bubbles on my CPO 2013 Tesla S not on the main touchscreen but on the Instrument Cluster ahead of the Steering Column... Will they only replace this screen? Or will they also replace the touchscreen? Will the change in the screen also need an MCU upgrade?
I have already scheduled the Service Appointment through my App and it is scheduled for the 17th of August. I just want to make sure I am getting what has normally been done for other Tesla owners..

I don't think I have seen someone complain about the IC forming bubbles before. But I would think that Tesla would only replace it. It is an entirely separate computer/display system, so there would be no need/reason to replace the touchscreen or upgrade the MCU.

Glad to find this thread. My 2013 S developed the bubbles last summer. Car was fine when I left for vacation--upon return 2 weeks later, bubbles in the screen. Tesla refused to replace under warranty because the warranty expired during my vacation. Now the screen is leaking. Likely going to have to bite the bullet and replace.

Since you are in the Irvine area we are very close to you. We can replace the MCU screen for you if Tesla will not do it under warranty. it takes no longer than 2 hours. We have couple in stock for a reasonable price. 1833.evfixme.
Yes because it's a factory defect and really poor quality and should be under warranty for life. Mine is a 2014 model s with 65.000 miles screen changed twice under warranty and now is leaking again after less than 2 years, $1500 is the cost to have it replaced.
Reality is that screen is too big glass sunroof has no cover and the sun is hitting the screen with nothing protecting it, this is a design defect and Mr Elon should know better. There is a reason why no other automaker is using such a big screen in their cars and the reason is that it did not pass all the test to be sure the part will work at least for the first 6 / 7 years of the car life.
