screen discoloration

[vraev]

This is gonna sound nuts but today is my first day on 2018.26 and this is the first time I’ve noticed a faint yellow border at the top of my MCU.... I swear I didn’t have it two days ago.

So maybe they are trying to do some sort of software correction of backlight irregularity.

Interesting. That is what happened to mine too. Perhaps it is a software induced issue in our case.

Adding more yellow to an existing yellow problem would be exactly what one shouldn't do to make it disappear.

It might be because of the grey maps making any color difference on screen more obvious?

I agree. I just checked in with a buddy who has a X75D which he received around the same time as mine (December 2017). It is also showing the yellow border.

I had my screen replaced yesterday. Took about an hour (while I waited).

 

[Padelford]

I also had mine replaced today. Too bad the service center didn’t do the rest of the work before calling me to pick up my vehicle. Oh well, another 1-2 days with a dirty loaner.

Same thing occurred to me. Just updated to 2018.26

Release Notes were not posted in the car in my case and while hunting around for them noticed the yellow borders on the LHS and RHS of the screen for the first time car mfg july 2017..

I have a much less noticeable border. I've only noticed it as result from hearing previously on the issue. Mid 17 Model S

I just received my "yellow border" about 4 weeks ago. It has gotten progressively worse over time. It was very faint for about a week, but then it got much more pronounced. Not like a yellow highlighter or anything dramatic like that but there is a clear visible yellowing around the outside of the screen. I have a Nov 2017 build Model S so it happens quickly if you have one of the bad batch of screens.

Curious, has anyone had the issue return after replacing the screen? I read about 1 person from the official Tesla forum that had this happen and they had to have it replaced twice. I just don't want it to happen again at 50,001 miles.

June 2017 build and the yellow line began on the left edge of the screen but that seems to have gone away. It's now at the top of screen and pretty pronounced as well. Waiting a couple thousand miles more until my first maintenance and I'll ask them to fix it.

Been searching this problem again recently. I have this issue show up twice on our Model X Dec'16 delivery. The first time was summer of 2017 in the midwest. Covered parking at home and at work with Overheat Protection on. I would guess 95% of the time when it was parked it was covered and not in direct sunlight. They replaced the screen under warranty.

We moved to the south 2 months ago and recently the issue came back. I can't remember when however though. I didn't realize it until 2 weeks ago but it might have started a week or 2 before that and I didn't look close enough. We have 6k miles left until we hit 50,000 so I'm working to get a call in to get it fixed before that milestone and it's not covered. At this rate it's an annual issue for us. I'm thinking about purchasing a windshield reflector in hopes that maybe that will help with the problem after this replacement.

Thanks for letting me know. I would hope that when they replace the defective screen, it would be with a screen that is not from the same defective batch but we'll see. I'm at 9,700 miles so I have plenty of room before 50,000.

I'm assuming they still will since it's under warranty, but yes I hope that I don't run into the same issue a year from now and no warranty later haha. Doesn't help putting 25k miles on it a year. You burn through a 50k mile warranty pretty quickly. Happy about having an unlimited mile 8-year warranty for the battery and motors though.

Update.
I was at the Supercharger/Service Center for a quick top off and checked with the service personnel and they said that the 2018.26 load delivered fine, there were a number of failed updates previously but the last 4 went fine, not to worry about it as it did not cause the yellow bars.

The yellow vertical borders is a problem and will require a change of the center screen which is done by a Ranger, no screens in stock so make an appointment for the Ranger to come out when they get the screen.

I had the yellow box appear in my March, 2017 MS75 about two weeks ago. Scheduled a service appointment online and got a callback the next day where a service rep told me that this is a known issue and that he was ordering a new screen. It arrived at the service center in about a week. The service center was able to change it out in less than half a day.

My screen and MCU got replaced last week, along with a new (but dented) dashboard as it had been damaged during replacement of MCU.

[Pale_Rider]

Sigh, had mine replaced in March and it is already starting to discolor again...

 

[Mark Z]

My March 2017 MS 90D yellowed today. Yellow bars on all edges. Most noticeable on the left and right.

Far less annoying than the 2012 bubbles, but highly noticeable.

 

[Tim-in-CA]

Add me to the club. Took the vehicle out of the garage and noticed the yellow border immediately. I didn’t notice it previously, and the car has been garaged for the past 2 days. Guess I’ll have the SC add this to my work order for next week. Costa Mesa SC appointments are 15 days out!

 

[chillaban]

Anyone waiting for the 9.0 rollout to schedule their service appointment?

 

[SMAlset]

Had our MCU replaced and the yellow border is starting to appear again. We've been using cabin overheat protection too when its outside in the hot sun.
