Need Help Roadster #1038 - Touch screen calibration failed, Call Service

[TigaFF]

Roadster 1038 arrived from California on Friday and I was planning to post pictures this evening. All was well until this evening when I was going though the various screens and decided to go through the touch screen calibration. After stepping through the calibration the above message came up and I can not get out of it. Everything else seems to be functioning normally. The car will start and move. Any thoughts?

Try cycling (opening and closing) the charge port door several times to reset the VDS. I don't know exactly what that does but I've seen it recommended before.

Thank @hsull8915. I tried cycling the door 5x's earlier in the day without success. Will try again. thanks

This happened to me some time ago. I think what worked was rapidly tapping the screen to get it to exit. My screen touch has been off calibration and I just live with it. New VDS was $650 I think. Calibration menu in Tech service menu is same as you get otherwise and leads to same endless loop of not being able to exit if calibration fails. I dismantled the whole thing in hopes of being able to repair it but was unsuccessful. Good luck.

@PV-EV I apologize for the late reply. Eventually got out of the "loop" but not sure exactly how. I will avoid the calibration screen. Everything else seems OK for the time being. Thanks again

If it’s any consolation, mine improved on its own after some period of time. Still not great, but better.
