Confirmed by engineering in Austin that it is not a firmware problem. This is a recall Tesla is sliding under the radar.
It’s an issue with the board on the inverter of the motor.
Only fix is a front drive unit replacement
I had my front drive unit replaced in my beast. Wouldn’t go past 114mph.
Now with the new front drive unit the car has a loud metal shriek sound above 85mph
Taking it back in
I fully acknowledge that this is a common problem in the automotive industry but my cyber beast is a “technology bandwagon”
my wagon shouldn’t be taken out of commission because of some snow
I’m surprised Tesla didn’t debut their laser debris removal patent on this car but I suspect they will...
I find it incredibly hard to believe that Wes and the rest of the team didn’t run into this issue in all of their winter testing
Can one of you guys post this on X and tag Wes?
I paid $6500 through Tesla.
12 months labor and 5 years material warranty
Received a loaner while they worked on it. Took them 1 day
Well worth it imo
Love the look
I don’t think this is accurate. Your local parts department should have a boatload of these in stock by now….
If your service team is cool they will just grab 4 and assign them to your VIN. They 100% have the power to do it.
