100% Agree, Tesla has the resources to provide some practical or monetary compensation to affected owners.
Being a new vehicle type, this design flaw has a large impact on perception. Further, as an owner I am concerned about the perceived value and how it is compromised by Tesla's utter lack...
Totally unacceptable, if Tesla does not know when they will get replacement PSC...then NOBODY knows.
I had mine replaced 1 month ago...now concerned if it fails again...but in 2 yrs from now where they might not any PSC in the pipeline.
Tesla has to step up their customer support and...
God Bless that the both drivers and all others 'collateral' to this mishap are safe.
How fragile our days are...as your fate lies in your own hands...and the hands of others...
Live and drive with intention
My PCS failure prevented any charging, AC home or DC supercharging. Inspite of the dash message reporting DC charging is functional.
Worse on the Supercharger, it did not post an error - watching like a hawk, it would 'start' charging , then switch to 'idle' as if you had not started charging...
Not for new vehicles, I've had to leave cars for days while on travel. I've not been charged a storage fee. The fact the vehicle broke down is an 'inconvenience' to the owner...so the inconvenience to the Tesla to hang on to if for a few days is fair exchange.
..It is quite bizarre the broad...
This is odd, 14K miles - you get the PCS, I just got mine about 3 weeks ago with 30K miles. To me this looks to be more about the latest software detecting the failure - over 'by mileage'.
Hard to say, as most 2 yr CTs -by now should have about 30k miles. Most on the forums with PCS are at...
It could be the software update is checking the PCS health more intensely and the cause for these PCS error notifications. This would make sense - in that Tesla upon seeing the failures has modeled the system to detect the error just at the onset of the 24amp AC charge failure of the PCS.
OMG brother, the PCS apocalypse is upon us. Really disappointing that Tesla did not plan accordingly and order PCS's preemptively for the CT in the field.
They have nearly real-time connection to our CT's know the mileage and by now - the occurrence rate of PCS failure...which looks to be 100%?.
I was told the same with my PSC failure - they said 3-5 days to *possibly* get the PSC - then they had it in about 1 day and I had my CT back in 4 days.
This the general problem with speaking words - than thoughts. They should keep to accurate -information - not gossip.
On your loaner: Also check if they limit the top speed, and on one CT loaner, they locked the height at 'Middle' and I was constantly misjudging my exit as the ground was about 1" further than my recollection..

For me, it
Your experience and response to the UI of FSD is a good example of how these systems have to interface to everyone in the potential audience.
As cars are made for 'everyone' to drive - including those who are 'not into cars' and 'don't enjoy driving' so there will be a ocean-wide...
Completely true. I worked in space vision systems and Fly eye optic vision systems.
We as humans have more senses than simply vision to navigate the world. We have a very strong sense of 'continutity'...as you can walk in the dark in familiar places.
It is a very interesting field which Mother...
This is one of the limitations of camera based imaging. Standard camera frame rates are 30 -60Hz, which directly equates to the distance of travel between frames - would be a fundamental limitation.
Would you trust yourself controlling a moving vehicle if you could only get an image every 20ft...
I usually don't, however, I'd like to point this out - that FSD can 'disengage' of it's own, depending on conditions. 1 year ago FSD would disengaged on the same fwy overpass on my commute.
On this forum, others have been quite adamant that it 'Does not happen' that FSD only disengages when you...
I also stated " I find it very, very odd that the hazard lights fail, and are not an an alternative system. How can DOT not require this?. "
On a ICE vehicle when the battery dies - the lights don't work.
However, on an standard vehicle:
1. When the engine dies - the lights DO WORK
2. When...
Agree, Lemon Law in CA at least is 3x incidents or in repair for weeks of time. This single incident is not a Lemonable offense.
That said, it IS a concern as it was unusually traumatic. I find it very, very odd that the hazard lights fail, and are not an an alternative system. How can DOT not...
Be sure to keep an eye on this, one person on this forum with +50k miles had the CT PSC go and he reports Tesla DID NOT repair under warranty. He paid ~$6k out of pocket.
My PSC failed, just repaired. Exactly the same with mine, Home charging dropped to 24 amps - then within the next 2 charges - PSC failure message.
Also, I could not Supercharge as the error message claimed 'was still possible'.
I had my CT towed, while it still had enough charge to get on and...
