Replace high voltage cables if coolant/oil on rear motor speed sensor?

[PatD]

My 2015 S is going to be out of motor/battery warranty in the next few months. Made an appointment with local service center to inspect speed sensor in rear motor to check for coolant/oil (Which is a sign of a failing motor on the P and RWD cars.)

I asked if they would replace the motor if coolant/oil found, or if we have to wait for complete failure. Their exact words were "..the drive unit may not have to be replaced just the high voltage cables."

That's a new one. Not sure what the high voltage cables have to do with coolant on the speed sensor. . . Appointment is tomorrow, we shall see. Anyone ever hear this line before?

Told me to just drop the car and they'll give me Uber credits, which I appreciate. But I have to think Tesla wastes a lot of money on Uber credits. It's a 30 minute inspection, which I told them I'm happy to wait for. (Since I'm 30 minutes from the SC.) Not sure why they have you "schedule" a time if they're not going to work on the car at that scheduled time.

No worries because Tesla has the solution! They're just not going to issue Uber credits anymore because screw the customer. Problem solved! /sarcasm

This should be your first clue as to the level of service you’re going to receive from this visit.

Yes, they suck in that they cannot schedule a time slot. Giving uber credits is a huge waste of money and time. It also leaves your car sitting around longer for a greater chance of damage.
