Rear spoiler ?

[BigMskiman]

Update: firmware 2.26.150 and now the spoiler is behaving again.

Got 2.26.150 also last night. Spoiler behaving properly both before & after.

Finally got my spoiler fixed (no pun intended). If your spoiler is still intermittently stuck closed or otherwise misbehaving, it might be this.

And I forgot. Was this a 90D or a P90D? Just curious.

Early 90D with Active Spoiler.

Thank you. I like these posts about Tesla supporting the 'Gift'. I wake up after every update expecting mine to be fixed.

It's odd, because mine has always worked properly. Well, except for the bug where it rises when the tailgate is open. But as far as typical operation, it's been exactly as anticipated. I'm a 90D FAS (freebie active spoiler) like the rest of you.

I should have put fixed in quotes. I meant that they were going to take away my free active spoiler with one of their updates.

I don't think that's going to happen. The fixed spoilers have different hardware. It's like screwed on fixed. Thus I don't see TM changing our 90D FAS (@ohmman - love that acronym ) to a fixed spoiler.

Mine does the same thing as Gwgan that is fully up after unlock then at 45mph went all the way down and cycled all the way back up again. No aero position at all after the OTA 2.20.45. Not fixed after subsequent 3 updates and my service center manager said they never heard of any reset procedure for the spoiler. Their explanation is that this is normal for 90 D to have no aero position even if they got a freebie active spoiler.

Umm...that's not true. I have observed my FAS dip at 45mph to aero position and back to full open when say I stop at a light.

I also don't have that issue, but I do believe that some other owners are having it. I know @Gwgan had spoiler insanity for quite a while, per this thread.

My spoiler never assumes the aero position and still flaps at 45mph. It's a back burner issue now and not worth another SC trip by itself.

Sorry i meant that what the SC said about "no aero position being normal for the active spoiler" is not true. The problem @Gwgan and @quartzav are facing is an issue the their SC needs to fix. It's likely a bad controller.

My spoiler has been erratic off and on, but most recently it is now locked in the down position - nothing I've done seems to get it to move. Time to schedule a SC visit and see what's up, but it sounds like the controller you guys have been mentioning.

I have a P90DL. Up until the last week of July the spoiler worked fine. Then after the late July update it starting acting irradic like others have reported on this forum.

Those with the erratic spoiler issue - are you in an area with high heat? Mine seemed to stay stuck closed on really hot days (100 degrees plus).

 

[Darryl]

We do live in FL but the tempature rarely goes above 95. It even happens in the garage before we start driving.

Mine occasionally will act normal, but too often it STILL does annoying things like go all the way down when stopped and going to aero position when reversing.

My last service advisor told me he thought it was related to my faulty driver door latch. I didn't believe him then and since it didn't fix it, I still don't believe they are related.

Yes, I am in Dallas/Ft Worth area and we are above 100 routinely now. So I agree it might be heat related

I appreciate your response, now I have to figure out a way to convince my service center it is an issue that can be fixed. BTW, I did the reset-like technique in the reset thread and now my FAS doesn't wag its tail occasionally as it was before.
