That was all that was on the invoice. Good luck tomorrow. It will be a quick fix if the service center can take in your car.

Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

Tomorrow I'm going to store check/buy this vehicle. It's 75D 2018. Does it look like heavy battery degradation? Would you skip this one? Does that huge spike in consumption affect on range estimate number in your opinion? Final chance to help me! Tesla's battery warranty is valid for years but I don't know how easily they would change it in case it actually sucks.
Edit: And I don't know yet if it is typical range or what. I'll check tomorrow that when I actually see the car

I'm no expert but 315miles and looks like 90% charge for a 2018 seems pretty solid to me (no expert). My new plaid at 80% is 315miles (19" wheels) and I have to imagine they added at least 80 miles to the range since then. I saw a youtube video from a tesla fanatic that said filling it to 100% then fully draining it helps reset some lost miles measuring. No clue if that's true but might be worth doing it once.
Update: Opps just realized that is Km so roughly only 195miles. Looks like your original new range was 259 miles. At 100% you maybe charge to 215 miles. So maybe suggests 17% loss. Not horrible but more degradation than expected for 3 years . Read that you should only expect 10% loss after 200,000 miles ( Tesla: Battery Capacity Retention Averages 90% After 200,000 Miles ). How many miles on the car?

It’s all about how the car was driven before, so this will be “projected” to the battery management to give the reading of the battery SOC. It’s a bit low for battery size of 75 (90%-315km) as this is my car’s reading (2016 S 70D). But if there is no issue with the cells I’m sure you will gain some back if you drive normally and follow suggested charging routine. I was able to get back app. 29km after I drove it home form centre of Europe. You should still have the battery and drive train Tesla warranty.
May be worth trying that trick of charging to 100% and running it dry (NOT to 0 though of course...maybe 3%....once. At least 1 Youtuber have claimed it regained some miles.
Accidentally left my MS LR 2021+ in the driveway overnight and it dipped below 32 last night. This morning no screen would turn on.
I was able to move the car using the center console buttons, but the rest of it didn't come alive for hours after i parked it in the garage.
Anybody else see anything like this before?

Hi Nate. What's the latest status of your situation? I have a 2017 Model S with water intrusion (almost definitely caused by rain). The battery pack and electronics are damaged and Tesla tells me that the car is totaled. They won't honor the warranty. It's nuts.
Others have had their auto insurance cover damage from water. Tesla claims, I suppose, the car was damaged by flooding. That is likely covered by your comprehensive portion of your auto insurance. If your insurance company does not cover it as flooding and says it is from rain and normal wear and tear, you can then challenge Tesla's decision not to pay for it. It won't be easy, and you will likely have to go to arbitration or court.
The BMS_w035 alert popped up on my way home yesterday.. initial searches online have several different reasons for this alert. From the battery heater, to drive train, to HV battery, to it being a fluke.
This is on a 2016.5 S75D with 42K miles
Things I've done since getting the alert:
Has anyone gotten this alert? Is it safe to drive until my service appointment?

Things I've done since getting the alert:
- Performed a soft reboot (four finger/brake reboot)
- Opened a service appt since it that alert showed up in the app. Scheduled for 12/3 at the Knoxville SC
- Charged the battery last night to 100% (I usually charge it to 80%)
- I have preconditioning setup for 7AM everyday

Hello everyone,
My 2021 Model S, 2000 miles in, is making these creaking/squeaking sounds when driving. It sounds like the sound made when you are squeezing a plastic bottle.
With a bit of observation, it definitely makes more sounds when the road is bumpy and also when it’s breaking to a stop. It’s not super loud but enough to be noticed and annoying since it wasn’t making these sounds before.
I’m wondering if anyone has experienced this and whether the service department can fix it. I have an appointment scheduled a few weeks out but they haven’t said anything about it being a known issue. There was, however, an option in the scheduling interface something along the lines of noise in the cabin.
Thanks all.

TLDR - Loud bump or thump when reversing with wheels turned hard left/right
Just took delivery of a 2021 Model S LR refresh on 11/24/2021.
Pulling forward out of the parking spot at the SC for the first time, i turned the wheels sharp left and noticed a decently audible "bump" noise from the front wheels as I drove forward-left. Didn't think anything of it because I thought the lot might have had some gravel/rocks. But when I brought it home and reversed out of the driveway, this time with the wheels turned hard right, the same "bump" noise was reproduced and can be reproduced just about every time I reverse out. It feels like the wheels/tires are snagging on something and then released. The issue doesn't occur when driving forward or reverse straight.
Made an appointment for 12/7/2021 at the SC.

This is about warranty replacement of the VCM to Upgrade 8GB eMMC. I don't know what that means, but they're willing to do it for free as a recall item. I've checked the threads I could find and don't yet have a satisfactory answer. I'm old and have owned a load of cars -- my experience has often been that when dashboards are removed and replaced, nothing is ever the same again. Our 2016 Model S is working just fine. Should I be on the "it ain't broke so let's not fix it" trail, or should I jump at the chance for some new hardware? Also, what's this I hear about the car being on the 3G network? Isn't that going bye-bye soon? Is there an upgrade to LTE or 5G?
Thanks in advance for any help with skulling this out.

I would say that you should let them do the recall. (Because sooner or later it will die.)
And yes, unless you had a retro-fit in the past you have 3G. There is a LTE upgrade that can be done at the same time, I think it costs around $300. (Though the price seems to change often.)
Yeah, I saw another thread that talked about it being due to cold weather affecting the tire grip but I've never experienced this in any other car. Will try to post a follow up after my service appointment.
Completely reproducible on my plaids. Driveway/street is clear. Addressing with service.
Rear driver's side rattle when going over driver's side speed bump that sounds like someone banging on the frame. First diagnosis at SC was "loose hinges on rear seats". Nope. Folded seats down, stuck wife in trunk (no jokes, please), reproduced with her saying it was largely in the direction of the charge port or lower. See my note (below) about charging door not working so there may be a link...
