I was originally charged $444 for the replacement of the Pyro I received a message today that it would be covered I questioned the charge after seeing on this form that Tesla covered it for another customer in Utah. Thanks to this forum.

That is how I feel also: I could see their logic if the fuse was in the frunk or someplace else, but it is inside of the sealed battery pack. I got the warning message and scheduled service and they setup a time over a month out but have not given me any estimate for approval yet. I am hoping by the time I have my appointment there has been enough push back that it will automatically be covered by the battery warranty.
Additionally the part is listed under the HV Battery Assembly. When it is time for my appointment I am going to prepared with this documentation to help make my case.

My pyro fuse replacement today was also covered by warranty. I was quoted $310 but this morning I got an updated quote for $0.
Looks like due to all the complaints, Telsa are shifting this to warranty for many
I hope this *IS* the case!
Though one does wonder what will happen to those who paid for it ???

I have a newer HV pack with the access panel on the bottom on it ( I can see it under the car). Does that confirm I have a new style fuse? Is it safe to take off the cover to visually inspect what's in there?

Still Trying to Figure This All Out
This invoice from a similar year/model says yes

Yeah. That's not how 3rd party warranty works. You ask the company that gave the warranty, then take car to Tesla and probably pay yourself first, then send the invoice to the warranty company... I have had 3rd party warranties before and the service dept at the dealership would work with them...

My SC tried to do the same, so I brought up the fact that the warning was not from the vehicle, but was pushed out from Tesla's side.
Just had my pyro fuse replaced yesterday and, although they originally quoted $297, I was informed when I arrived that it is covered under warranty effective 9/26/2023.
Called the SC this morning, and confirmed that Tesla will be refunding anyone who had to pay to have the Pyro Fuse replaced as a result of this. They didn't have an ETA on when it would occur, but that would be refunded as it does fall under the 8yr HV Battery warranty.
Hmmm keep me posted on this mcu1 chip. I’d like to see what the invoice says about the replacement. My mcu1 had the memory recall done last year. It works well for the most part but I can’t tell if that’s from lack of use or what. The biggest issues I have is slow boot at times and a screen freeze between switching songs

Did they say that it would be done automatically or do you think we need to individually contact them and request the refund? I paid $295 to have that work done just a week ago.

Just FYI: I called my local service center. The representative had no idea what I was talking about at first but after he went and researched the question came back and told me that Tesla would be reversing the charges for the fuse replacement. He said no one in this SC knew about this change from Tesla - apparently the notice just came out on the 26th.
Participating in these forums pays off once again! I never would have known to ask for the refund otherwise.
