Review of 057 Technology Warranty

[P85MD]

I want to give a shout out to 057 Technology. @wk057

I’m on the east coast so was jealous of the options Californians had for non-Tesla repair shops. In the spring, instead of selling my car, I bought 057 Technology’s battery warranty for my out-of-warranty 2013 P85. Well, about a month ago I needed to make use of that warranty.

Jason, the owner, has been amazing to work with. He and his team have gone above and beyond in every possible way. The were super communicative and fixed everything they could find, even things that hadn’t failed yet but weren’t in great shape.

I’d highly recommend them and am so grateful to have them as a resource (and to still be under warranty with them for a couple of more years!).

If this sounds over the top, sorry. I’m just really excited for how awesome they’ve been and I want everyone to know about them. And, I’m excited to have my car back with all of the work they’ve done. Feels like I have a fully refurbished battery and components. Incredible.

Very nice! Thank you for posting.

That's great!

I'm not sure what options you are referring to in California. Seems like all the good options are on the East Coast and we get nothing.

I'm glad the warranty worked out for, and that you are sharing with other people. I think @wk057 is doing a great service to the community by providing reasonable warranty/repair options.

I'm curious what things, other than your failed HV battery, that they fixed for you.

Hmm, guess it just had a grass is greener view. I’m pretty sure there’s at least one in AZ but maybe I made it up in my head that CA had a bunch.

All of us with antique cars will need a good reliable shop. Tesla doesn't give a twit about us.
Example. I got "refurbished pack"", asked about warranty? Zero. Pack warranty plan up in a month, so is warranty on this refurbished pack.
So, we really need shops to to step up for our business. Very happy 057 has.

this post gives me hope. I want to join the 2016 club but was afraid to walk into a warranty problem.
but now i think i will. 057 has given me faith.

what was your out the door cost on the battery replacement, all told?

 

[P85MD]

Was a game changer for me in terms of keeping the car outside of warranty.

They didn’t do a replacement, they repaired the original problem plus other things that were out of spec or prone to fail (even things that were not warranty items or not yet a warranty claim). My only costs were the warranty (which is still in effect) and the shipping costs.

Maybe I’m mistaken but it seems crazy that they don’t have any warranty on a refurbished pack. It will be interesting to see the failure rate on the refurbished packs compared to the original A and B packs.

Refurbished packs from Tesla are warrantied. If it is put in as part of your factory warranty it inherits the remaining factory warranty. If you purchase the pack out of warranty it comes with a 4 year/50k mile warranty.

I got that. That seems crazy to me (but maybe that’s a standard way companies handle these things).

I can’t get a response from 057. Anyone know if they are still in business?

There’s been a lot of questions and activity on this topic the past few weeks.

Few clear answers from what I can tell.

In order to actually resolve any issue, you are likely have to seek legal advice or contact the DOJ of NC for consumer protection help. Does that mean we're not doing the pitchfork thing?! Aww.

I drove to the address listed in NC last month and the neighbor stated they had moved out a week prior. Thought it might have been too good to be true.

Since I provided the initial review, I feel like I should respond.

In short, no one really knows what’s going on and the owner says he can’t talk about it currently.

There are some other some threads about this with more details. Lots of speculation with no real answers.

He posted just a few days ago (last link), and said it wasn’t a “personal post,” on one of the other threads so is active.

He also said in one of his other posts he’s not able to share information yet and will once he can.

Yikes. That escalated quickly. When did this become Barbarians at the Gate?

I was just informed by a member here that its possible that I can see something regular members cant, since they cant see the same activity I can. I am not going to remove my post, but wont be commenting on that any further.

Amazing, he hasn’t said one word about no longer being at the address he is holding out to the public on his website. If he “physically moved the server” he should physically take the website down because they definitely aren’t doing business there. Someone recent “stated” the website wouldn’t...

I'm really considering plugin hybrids. Pooh on that idea. Modern BEVs are still in their infancy. Some smart engineer will solve the battery cell dependency/matrix problem to reduce the cost of battery repair down to negligible.

I'll just say that as far as we know it is the prior owner that says he can't talk about it currently.

Fair point, could possibly no longer be the owner.

I will say there is absolutely no legal proof the company has been sold, we all are good will guessing based on a single post from an account that has been closed since (can be real, can be a whistle blower, who knows what ...), shop has been closed, posts saying "not involved as much", "cannot say" but never confirmed, denied, nor corrected the post about the company has been sold, lack of responses from the company and mostly because of Jason's good reputations on the internet.

It's interesting that the 057 Website is still up, with Jason Hughes personally Twitter Links all over it etc.
Jason has been active on Twitter/X over the last 2-3 months, but almost purely in a Bitcoin related sense/interest.
It seems all his time/efforts have swung behind this new endeavour.

Surely with the near passing of 6 months or so, the community here deserves some sort of explanation about 057 Tech and what actually has occurred.

There was a post a few weeks back. Guy drove by there and said it was closed and gone,.
