screen discoloration

[bktiger86]

I'm curious, what type of personal information/data is lost when the MCU is changed? Seat positions? Saved Destinations? Vehicle Settings? Homelink?

Good question. I had the SAME exact feeling as well. Surprisingly...all my information was saved or transferred to my new MCU. It still had my seat positions, saved destinations, music preferences, vehicle settings, and even my Home Link. I felt like NOTHING was changed. The screen does feel faster and clearer. It seems like it has a higher resolution.

Unfortunately I have this issue as well. I have a December 2016 Model S. Service guys said this was the first they'd seen. New screen is ordered and will be replaced next week.

Seems like there was a bad batch of screen late 2016 to early 2017. Hopefully the issues doesn't come back on the replacement.

Wow this is more common than I thought. Yeah definitely get it replaced.

I also just found this same issue on my December 2016 Model X.
I already have an appointment to fix/replace it.

My 2014 screen was replaced recently, but because it died, not for the same issues as above. All settings were lost except odometer. Real pain setting everything up again.

I now have this on mine as well :-/ nov/dec 2016 build date.

Just had the screen on the 11/16 build, 2016 Model X demo I just bought replaced for the same yellow ring. All settings transferred. Other than the yellow border, I don't see any difference between the old and new screens.

I just noticed this "yellow ring" on my screen too. Car is 6 months old. No extreme exposure... always garaged home and work.

Mine was built-to-order and then delivered February 2017.

I guess I'm going to the SC.

My 2016 MS has it too. Covered under warranty. Going to get fixed this week.

just had my screen replaced. No personal data was lost from the swap

Wow I wonder if they had a bad batch of LCDs or something. Mine is a 2017 Model S as well. Took delivery late Jan.

Yeah I emailed my local service center the pictures and they said they never seen it before and ordered the parts for me. Told me that it arrived within a week. I scheduled an appointment and had it replaced. Took them 1 day.

The Dallas service center took great care if me and sealed out my LCD. No data lost and my car is good as new. The service agent mentioned that they are investigating this issue and believe it happens in warm climate areas. My car is in Dallas and I frequently valet my car at the airport. I'm sure the cabin gets well over 100 degrees when when parked even in the shade in Dallas.

I've been noticing it ever so lightly on my 2016 Model S, so I figure I'll go ahead and shoot off a support email.

I've noticed this on my screen as well. Adding to the list of minor annoyances to be fixed during next visit to SC

 

[Tricel]

Well, add me to the list. Just notified WPB SC. I ordered my MS90D in Dec 2016 and took delivery Feb 2017. My car is garaged and rarely sits in hot sun. Also have cabin overheat protection enabled.

My iPhone 6+ screen has started to look like this.

If this issue only happened after you connected your phone to bluetooth then Tesla should replace your phone

Seems like there must be a manufacturing defect affecting the late 2016/early 2017 builds

 

[JoelH]

Just noticed this on my May 2017 Model S last week. It's quite subtle and I'm not sure when it popped up or if it's always been there. Does anyone see it getting worse over time?

 

[nnick01]

I have this on my March delivery 2017 Model X. Guess I need to visit the service center.

 

[Noodle Asylum]

My May 2017 delivered S100D has now started to do the same thing.
