They likely do not know why. They just know its broken and needs to be fixed... More and more things are not made to rebuild. Only replace whats broken and move on...
For something as major as a motor failure I would think Tesla would want to know why. My guess is the service center sent it back to Austin for analysis but they never actually hear back.
agree - just saying its likely even if tesla determines the cause it will be long after and not communicated back to the owner/gen public.
I don’t think you get to keep warranty replaced parts. Only on parts you pay for.
You most definitely do not get to keep your old parts after a warranty repair.
Same thing happens when you die. The funeral home removes any pacemakers before cremation so the battery does not explode. They also remove any gold fillings, sell the gold.
Yes, this is apparently a common issue in new 2022 model Y’s…as I just found out the hard way today. Our model Y is only a month old and while parked in our garage it would not go in reverse or forward and had these res flashing error messages stating: Power reduced, rear motor temporary disabled; Vehicle shutting down pull over safely. Had a tow truck come in 30 min and then had to drive w tow truck driver to service center in Austin where they had no loaners. So they gave me Uber credits for 4 days…pretty weak spending that much on a brand new vehicle and they cannot provide a complimentary loaner.
My 2022 Tesla 3 dual motor long range which was delivered less than a month ago and has 580 miles had a similar issue. While trying to drive from a parking lot, I noticed that I couldn’t go in reverse or drive followed by a beep and error messages (rear motor disabled, park the vehicle etc). The vehicle was towed to a service center.
Is the inverter part of the motor on the Y or can it be replaced separately? On all of my other EVs it has been a separate item, not part of the motor.
