Last Friday I took my P85D to our vacation house, supercharged as planned before arriving while shopping for the weekend. It was cold, -10C (14F) driving up there.
Had to get the snowblower out as we had 1ft snow on arrival.
Saturday morning was a little colder, but we had some fun in the snow with the kids, and it started to snow at night.
Later at night it started to get really cold, we saw -18 (0F) and according to my weather station it was as low as -22 (-7.6F) during night.
Now. Here is where the excitement starts, Sunday morning I need to go for a ride, and start preheat from my iphone. Nothing out of the ordinary until I check the app, and see that the car is not pulling any current even though being plugged in. So I look outside and notice a small greenish color behind the right rear wheel.
Car tells me it is low on coolant (no **** Sherlock)
So, I call Tesla - they say a flatbed will pick it up.
And I am stuck with what is probably the most boring loaner anyone ever had
But, just over 2 days later, new DU is installed, car is cleaned inside and out at no cost
Really happy with the way Tesla fixed this, they really went the extra mile. Service guy called me several times asking if all was ok and if I made it home without the car. Then picking up a clean car was just delightful.
But, how many other P85D had a DU replacement? The service center told me they had never seen this failure before, and I havent really heard abou any other D´s with DU replacements at all
