  • My visit to the Service Center (SEC)

    Hello together I wanted to open a model-independent thread about visits to the Service Center. Background is that I was able to gain some experience and also interested in your experiences. Reason of my visit: My Model S meanwhile has 35,000 kilometers down and since the beginning of the year I have unfortunately had more software problems. This became so annoying last month that I had to restart the MCU very regularly, but also did not always help. e Airbag warning light lit up every 10 minutes for 10 seconds on average and the vehicle took a long time to wake up. In addition, my battery could not be charged to 100%. After a few phone calls, I made an appointment. Expiry: 8 am car delivered, Loaner took away, changed back in the evening. The Loaner should only have been allowed to drive. Self-retention in the event of an accident 2’500 CHF. The owner of the vehicle was Tesla. What was new in the SeC: At the SeC in Bern it is so that the (each person) I think that’s a huge problem, because he was always the guy who clearly had the best control over it. Probably that’s also the reason why my request about the battery for over 5 months was no longer processed and was no longer reacted to any queries. Well: Be it that way… After all, I know what’s going on. The service team in Bern (so not the workshop part, but rather the repair acceptance) is currently supported by another employee from Schlieren. There is too much going on in Bern to be possible with only two people. I also learned that Tesla is in front of a huge software rollout. The current system warp (ERP & everything) is obviously not up to the requests any more. The technician really looked forward to it because he has no time to try everything for hours more. So it seems to be time. The employee was ext rem nice, but rather inexperienced. Probably it would not have been bad if you had worked it a little better. He also stressed several times that he only works as a helper. To my problems: Concerning my battery there is allegedly no problem. They could charge the car at Tesla SuC to 100%. That it was not possible with me was not examined more closely (obviously). For 5 months I hoped there was more. Supposedly the mechanic was 2h at work. I was told that it could not load up to 100% because my charging station was defective. After that I said that it had occurred at many charging stations, UMC and SuC and that they had the data as well. After that it was a fault. It would happen more often that it was all good after the car hung at the SuC in the SeC. Now it was a fault. It would happen that everything was good after the car hung at the SuC in the SeC. yes, maybe I asked too concretely, but I wasn’t quite satisfied with this information. That my vehicle often needs over a minute to start tomorrow was pushed to TeslaFi (quote from the repair report and corrections: “These are symptoms of an external APP that overloads the szstem over.”. The system hangers and airbag warning lamp were able to be made by the fact that the airbag control unit could not be updated with the main software (quote from the Repara turbericht: “Airbag control device is not up-to-date with the version. The control device is manuel programmed.”. Telephone was explained to me that this is mostly due to USB devices. One should always remove the USB stick before updates. In addition, the USB stick should be maximum 32 GByte. Small Funfact: The guy with whom I telephoned did not know that the vehicle is in the SeC. He told me that I could look briefly. I asked if he wanted me to come to you. E rst then he realized: Oh, the vehicle is with us. They are all very nice, offer coffee for coffee, but quite satisfied I am not. The software is a bit shaky and the employees could know a little better with the vehicles. 210 CHF net for a car charging does not kill me, but is also not a bargain. The rest was guarantee. Next week we have two MX to regular service. Then I update here, if something special passier t. And now, of course, I’m interested in your experiences.

  • Real costs of a “fuel filling” at a price of e.g. 50ct/kWh

    Hello, I don’t have a Tesla yet, but I would like to inform myself before. Suppose my Tesla has a range of 600km and the tank is at 0km. Now I am tanking at an e-charging column at a price of 50kWh. What does that cost me then? According to my calculations about 20 Euro. Can that be?! With billing method..[Translation adapted by Motor-Talk.]

  • The Tesla App – Questions, Updates, Discussions

    Quotation: @ballex wrote on 8 March 2017 at 13:12:01: Now a stupid question as not yet Tesla driver: What can you do with the app, which is not also in the car? Is it only comfort (not to run to the car) or offers the real added value? I know that so that the car can be unlocked without a key (then stupid, if at the destination without a key there is no mobile phone network) and thus the heating/air conditioning system (but not the seat heating) from a distance who The Commission’s position is as follows:

  • Eclipse D20 Built. 95 Engine goes off

    Drive for a long time the above mentioned model (Targaumbau Compact Car / 147.000 km) and have for some time the following problem: Fzg. starts willingly (Garagen-Fzg.) – the first 5 minutes no problems. Then sporadically occuring and independent of the weather: In case of relief engine goes out during the ride. Yesterday for the first time after 6 km driving engine out of and roaring noise after restart (which was immediately possible). Since without engine neither ABS nor servo works, I am naturally anxious now, Since I expect the car to run out with every turn brake or slow drive. Advances: ISC engine repaired 01/2006; valve shaft seals & timing belts renewed + Kpl. inspection 05/2006; Fzg. all in all always maintained (all checks + Inspektive. done on time by specialist workshop). Fachwerkstatt allegedly cannot read out errors. For hours comb all relevant forums – the error has been given more often and wise tips and stupid sayings (“a 95 Eclipse can never be a D20.” there’s enough. BUT: IS THE PROBLEMS SOLUTIONS ALSO? WHAT IS THE FARMS OF YOU? PLEASE REPLY

  • Assistance systems Swift Sport (VI)

    Hope it can give me an information to what extent the assistance systems can be switched off manually at the Swift Sport (VI). I’m mainly concerned with the lane keeping assistant and fatigue warning. … and if they can be switched off manually, does that have to be set every time you restart, or does a manual shutdown persist until it is revised manually again?

  • Coupling-painting noise.

    Hello community. The Vitara of a good friend unfortunately causes problems. When you step the clutch, without gear, everything is normal. As soon as you let the clutch come, you notice a vibration in the pedal near the distortion and as soon as the distortion is reached, you hear a heavy grinding noise from the pedal. It is easy to press the pedal so that the noise disappears immediately. I don’t know what to do, say when you press the pedal. I don’t know what to do at the moment. Someone has had this problem before?

  • Suzuki SX4 only cold air driver side

    Hello, I have the problem since today on my Fiat Sedici (is a SX4) that only cold air comes out on the driver’s side. Of course the heat exchanger will have something, but what is still striking: the left nozzle is also being flown since today. So no matter what I put the air conditioning automatic (foot or disc) the left nozzle always gets air. All the others are just as the air conditioning automatic says that. Except for me this has only now noticed, because it gets colder and you brew the heating. Is it possible that the heat exchanger would be closed for a long time and the ventilation is another mistake…. Does anyone have any instructions to change the cooler? Should you still try any magic agent? Shouldn’t it be a real shit to change the thing….

  • Serial tube/bustuck tube (where other cars are the VSD)

    I think the topic was already there, but unfortunately has disappeared in the sinking. Supposedly I want to expand my Bastuck.. I actually need the Bastuckrohr which is a normal factory tube with me at the moment? I mean the pipe where with other cars of the VSD is I have the 2E engine.. and there is no with VSD. Bzw what advantage/disadvantage do I have if I stab the factory tube through the stainless steel tube?! That I have to replace the MSD I can still understand .. but why I have to replace a factory tube with a stainless steel tube (for better sound) is not quite understandable for me. Here the whole again pictured: Variant 1: CAT – serial tube – Bastuck MSD – Bastuck ESD Variant 2: Kat – Bastuck pipe – Bastuck MSD – Bastuck ESD Where exactly is the difference ??? except the variant 2 is more expensive… Maybe someone has an answer for me Inqui
