I had something hit and broke my windshield on the way to have battery fuse replaced on the model X. Windshield replacement cost $2,195. They called to inform me that the windshield sensor also needs to be replaced. That’s an additional $42. I also had a code come up for the charge port. Since they were going to have my model X for the next 2-3 days they said they could fix the charge port. They charged a $97 diagnostics charge total cost for the charge port $1,097. I am still waiting for reimbursement for battery fuse. This 2016 model X is costing too much to maintain. I purchased a third party extended warranty and they do not cover this repair. Tesla is definitely not for poor people.

Your insurance doesn’t cover the windshield repair?
Can’t really blame that on Tesla though. They didn’t invent flying debris.
Is the glass expensive? Yes. It’s also a gigantic piece of curved glass - larger than any other windshield I know of on the market.

Now that Tesla is covering the fuse, I’ll bet the software is quickly fixed to make the warning show up at 10 years. Or, at least anytime past 8.
My SC is replacing the fuse for free but is charging $205 for a "High Voltage Circuit Integrity Check". I added on the CCS charge port upgrade and they're saying $0 for that. Early 2017 Model X. Not sure how they determined the charges. I was expecting no charge for the fuse and a non-zero charge for the charge port but the total was about what I was expecting.
I seriously doubt that one....That's an out of pocket cost and Telsa have no control over it.
I've got a 1111445-00-F fuse sat on my desk, that i bought with an idea of DIYing things, but wasn't so sure after looking at the service manual. I didn't get round to finding if the HV Interlock was before or after the contactors and mention of arcing in the service manual didn't sound fun!
I'm not even gonna mention it to the SC when it goes in for the swap.
FYI UK here and show as FOC on the review estimate
2017 Model S 75D
Received alert BMS_u031 to replace battery fuse a week or so ago. Made service appt. and received an estimate of $280. Took it in today and was told the repair was covered under the battery warranty. No charge.

I got battery fuse replacement notice about 2 weeks ago. Received estimate of over $300. Appointment was scheduled for today due to waiting for the fuse to arrive at the service center. Arrived at service center today and was greeted by service advisor who told me the service is free and it will done in 45 minutes. I was surprised and happy with the news. I was out of the service center in just over 30 minutes.
My 2016.5 Model S probably would have been up for this alert soon, had I not been hit by a drunk driver in June:
1) airbags and seat belt tensioners deployed, so pyro fuse blew as it's designed to do, so would've needed a new one anyways, problem solved
2) car was total loss, so problem permanently solved
But good to know it's now being covered under the HV battery warranty, as I've been casually looking at used late 2016/early 2017 Model S/X as a replacement, since I miss my car. I kind of know what are the risks and issues with these vintages are, as well as how to DIY repair many of the more common parts failures (headlamps, latches, etc), excluding those in the battery, powertrain and suspension...

Like BCCA above, my service appt. only took about 35-40 minutes.
You better be sitting down when you get your service estimate. Not going to be 3-400.
What he said... the $300-$500 quote is for the HV Battery 2.0 series and not the 1.0/1.5 variants.... TLDR, they have to pull the HV battery on the older ones since the fuse is on top. Tesla learned from this and moved the fuse to the underside of the battery for the 2.0 variant. With 2.0 and above, there is just a small cover they remove to gain access to it.
