Yellow screen? Force Tesla to Replace it!

[MP3Mike]

. It would cost them nothing if Ryan is correct about the UV treatment being permanent, so why not put that in the settlement agreement to avoid arbitration?

Didn't he say he wouldn't give anyone more than they can get in arbitration? Do a guarantee of a permanent fix odd of the table.

I see yellowing on the left...

I wasn't sure since I had a loaner 75D a few months ago that had much clearer yellowing.

It was more saturated and in a narrower band.

Looks like it's just starting to show up on the bottom left, it will grow from there and you won't be able to stop looking at it...welcome to my world.

I’m not sure if this is yellowing or something else. Anyone know?

Doesn't look like yellowing to me.

That is epic.

What was his reply?

He couldn’t: say a word and skipped right along.

Seems if the defective displays can't handle sunlight, they should have a warning sticker.

Warning: Vehicle to be used only from sunset to sunrise as sunlight will damage the display.

Sunlight shouldn't be an issue since all of the glass us UV treated

Not to mention the supposed fix is UV!

New Tesla fix just in, please drive around and park with the roof open, it'll save us having to build more UV curing fixtures.

My god man, what are you trying to do?!

What about the humidity and OXYGEN? Did you ever stop to think what all the humidity and oxygen entering the car through the sunroof might do to the display?

It's probably really best not to touch it, either. Treat it sort of like a Happy Fun Ball.

New feature idea for Tesla:

Much like rare paintings in museums, the next Model S will now include a velvet rope hanging around the MCU to prevent the screen from being touched.

If we are going this route, I thought they’d define a yellow border as a “delayed” feature that accents the display panel. Not available on all models.

In other news, my scheduled UV fix now includes the shuddering half shafts fix. Two birds one stone?? Fingers crossed.

So let me ask my fellow yellow bordered MS owners something. How does one ‘repair’ something that isn’t broken? They used the word ‘repair’. To me that implies something that isn’t functioning as designed.

This entire thing is absolutely surreal.

Lol, you're asking Elon to be logical. He's a car salesman, not Spock. There is logic "under the hood", but Elon's goal today is maximum profit, not logical communications.

 

[whitex]

Note, I'm talking about a settlement agreement, not what the service department will agree to.

My problem is, my extended service agreement has less than a year and a half left on it. I'm worried that the UV "repair" might be temporary. and I want a permanent fix. If Ryan is saying the UV treatment is permanent, maybe Tesla is willing to put their money where their mouth is and give some extra warranty for that one issue. It would cost them nothing if Ryan is correct about the UV treatment being permanent, so why not put that in the settlement agreement to avoid arbitration?

Because Ryan is not Elon, he has no powers to agree to offer you anything at all - not even a free T-shirt. I would never want Ryan's job - to negotiate things from people without being able to offer anything in exchange. I hope Ryan has a background in donations/fund raising telemarketing.

Anyone who mentions this gets a $500 bill for the feature - "we forgot to charge you for that"? It should quickly stop people reporting it.

It's a huge company. Elon is not the only one running it

I think pano roof retrofit would be more expensive than a new screen.

Elon is the communications arm of Tesla. Nothing as big as this is done without his explicit approval. Or are you suggesting his employees are keeping him in the dark about the yellow screens? Just because he pretends there is no issue, doesn't mean he doesn't know about and is not pulling all the strings.
