Model s headlight fault

Don’t you just love Tesla for trying to sell you a part with known issues at full price, until you query it.

Hasn't the latest version considered the issue fixed?

Insurance : Phone up and say "I'm thinking of leaving" and get a significannt reduction in price.

Rinse and Repeat for all Utilities ...

Worst form of modern capitalism "Our primary objective is to our shareholders" ... pretty sure they aren't all thieving crooks, whereas the Company Board ...

To the best of my knowledge even later version have the same fault - the led's overheat. Whether it's been sorted witht the new MS I guess unless you buy a LHD you won't find out!

Good luck with that. May be worth buying two new headlights for 400 odd words from Ali express

I got a quote from Cleevely Electric Vehicles | Electrical Vehicles | Gloucestershire to rectify the dead Drl. They said they charge £360 + VAT per headlight. No discount for doing both headlights together.

Is that quote for a repair or replacement?

Headlight assembly was listed at around £920 for mine 6 months back, but does bring with it newer hardware (Part Version E believed to mitigate). Otherwise it’s only delaying another inevitable MOT failure.

I believe it is a repair. The following is the direct quote from the email.

Good afternoon,

We already have a well tested repair solution for the Model S DRLs which we have been carrying out for many owners for several years. The cost of the repair is £360+vat per headlamp.
Many thanks,
