From what I can tell in the other threads, some lost NCDS arbitration on the yellow screens but most did not. Mine was successful. IMHO, they key (in both cases) is the "value" - this situation has indeed affected the value of your vehicle. Do you think you could sell if for the same amount now as opposed to 6 months ago? Seems unlikely.
I don't know how many tried arbitration for this problem but I'd still recommend it. It's easy to do and doesn't take a lot of time. In my case, it was me and an arbitrator in the room and the Tesla lawyer on the phone - we both presented our cases verbally. It took maybe an hour and 2 or 3 hours prep time. Should be easy enough to show that value was indeed affected. I'm not lawyer nor a subject-matter expert here but the more NCDS attempts we have, the more it might reflect on the class action as well. Chargegate/Capgate doesn't affect safety, arguably it can affect use, but "value" is the key here. That's definitely taken a hit. If it were me, I'd do it in a heartbeat - there is nothing to lose. The decision is binding on Tesla but not on you. It would be great to hear an NCDS decision (just 1 for grins) telling Tesla they have 30 days to remediate this problem.
My understanding of the yellow border issue is that it was a pretty different sort of case.
Issue. Some screens were turning yellow round the edge.
The fault was, in a particular batch of screens, the glue holding the screens on turned yellow (due to the heat from the screen?)
Tesla admitted it was an issue and initially replaced the screens under warranty.
Tesla didn’t have the tools to just take the screen off, replace the glue and re-attach the screen. So they just replaced the entire screen and MCU.
But what was happening was Tesla we’re replacing yellow border screens, with new screen, that were from the same batch. Unsurprisingly, some of them failed again.
They then realised, this was a stupid and expensive way forward. Initially they said as the screens were still work8ng, it was just a cosmetic issue not a fault, so not a Warranty Issue.
This was challenged, successfully
Tesla then said they would fix it, but not with screens from the original batch as they were just as l8jely to fail as the original screen. They would build tools to remove the screen and replace the glue, and owners would have to wait until those tools had been made.
As with many Tesla forecasts, it took longer than expected.
Tesla now have the tools and are now fixing the yellow glue.
I see that issue as primarily timing. I would love to think our issue was timing, in that a solution is in the pipeline. Sadly that’s not what I think.
