2013 Tesla s p85 mcu will not boot up after over the air software update between October 2 t o October 9th while I was on a vacation. Ota software version 2020. 24. 6. 11.
2013 Tesla s p85 with manufacture quality control problems. My current concern is that my media control unit (mcu) touch screen in my Model S manufacture in 2013 failures of the touch screen with bubbles on the lcd touch screen and sometime just lines on the lcd display when it is hot under the sun. The car takes a long time to start up after driver get into the driver seat- sometimes it can take up to 3 minutes to start up the car and, lines on lcd display, sticky glue leaking down under the dash area from the passenger side. This mcu and lcd touch screen is the only control that can be use as an information system for this vehicle. This is a safety issues while driving and can be very distracting and can cause an accident while driving. This is a manufactures defect and it should be recall for replacement or repair. It is a very serious safety concern.
Tesla is like a laptop with wheels. If the laptop's hard drive dies, the car won't work. That is what happened to my 2013 Tesla Model S p85+. The car's main computer had a combination of faulty design in hardware(small emmc memory chip) and software(high frequency logging to emmc memory) resulting the memory chip failed after 120,000 miles of driving. After the failure, the car will no longer drive for more than 23 miles or be charged beyond 23 miles of range. The air condition stopped working, the main control screen stay black. The car will receive no control. The original range is 245 miles.
Our Tesla Model S 2013 was purchased in August of 2013, 7years ago. The car was able to cover over 200 miles with a full charge. Starting June 2019, the brakes started to shake during braking and the traveled miles decreased drastically after sudden loss of range with 2019. 16. X software update that throttles batteries. Under the same conditions traveling the same route by the same person. Now, the full charge of car lasts approximately 100 miles traveled. Total super charged battery miles do not go beyond 150 miles even after waiting more than 2 hrs. Using 220 ampfor 7 hrs, the full battery charge goes up to 160 miles but even then the odometer travel covered is less the 110 miles under similar conditions of the original 200 miles traveled. We have paid for unlimited use of supercharger but we are told by Tesla not to use supercharger because it is bad for the battery. That is true. We get a little better results by using our own 40 amp, 220 volt charger but the car battery lasts less than 60% of the originalbattery under identical driving conditions with supercharger it covers less than 50%. We have taken the car to Tesla service center in rocklin but the technicians have said: "we ran test and battery is normal". We need help under stand what "normal" means. This car is not normal good for commuting to work now. 1) charging at much lower amps and avoiding superchargers. This took away the $2,500 purchase option and freedom of being able to travel without range anxiety. 2) replacement of the $2,500 mcu by Tesla technicians did nothing but more money into Tesla pockets. 3) begging to purchase a new battery, even though under warranty of 8 year extended from 125k to 150k mile warranty for prior to 2015 Tesla Model S vehicles is unable to be done. Very similar to the apple iphone battery throttle lawsuit.
Door handle problems the handle fails every 6months should be a recall drive train issues.
