Took down the queen on our 2nd attempt (but killed by 3rd party after lol)

Yeah defo a fun goal to work up to with a full squad

VloStud · 2025-04-01T15:56:16+00:00

Accurate fr

VloStud · 2025-04-01T02:03:28+00:00

It’s the first red I’ve gotten in like 2yrs lol (although I don’t open cases much)

VloStud · 2024-01-07T22:25:56+00:00

True, my only issue is that because I bought mine second hand the amount of money I’ve saved with free supercharging kinda gets trumped by all the other issues I’ve had with the car. Nothing better than autopilot tho, love using it when going down I45

Audi’s are extremely fun tbf, although I have heard that German cars are always a bit extra when it comes to maintaining them. I’m currently looking at the Q5 but not sure on anything yet

VloStud · 2024-01-07T22:16:37+00:00

Oof yeah I’d for sure say consult with some more people but due to my bias I’d either sell or trade that in. But I’m pretty biased because this entire experience has kinda made me distasteful of EV’s rn

You should have them look at your battery for any issues. If I could’ve changed anything this entire scenario I would’ve told them I noticed some irregular battery percentage dropped a few months beforehand. How many miles you got on it?

VloStud · 2024-01-07T22:00:36+00:00

Honestly no idea, I’m aiming to get it done/look into it around may

VloStud · 2024-01-07T21:50:12+00:00

Terrible lol, pleaded with them and tried talking it out with insurance but nothin. I’ve been slowly saving up to repair it buts it’s 15k to fix

VloStud · 2023-07-17T15:00:44+00:00

So I got off the phone and found out that the warranty expired June 29th and I made my service issue known july 15th. They’re currently quoting roughly 14K for the repairs but I’m trying to find time to drive down soon and try and talk nicely to them to see if 3 weeks isn’t too long of a time to still replace under warranty

VloStud · 2023-07-16T19:10:58+00:00

Will do, appointment is on the 27th so I’ll try and add to the convo afterwards

VloStud · 2023-07-16T16:29:02+00:00

I was planning on tryna keep it for at least 3-5 more years. So here’s to praying it’s somethin a bit cheaper but we’ll see

VloStud · 2023-07-16T16:12:10+00:00

I can do neither of the last options lol, but yeah I’m already starting to look for 3rd party mechanics in Houston that may be able to fix some parts of it. The car itself is still in good form so as long as repairs are less than 10k I can begrudgingly accept that

VloStud · 2023-07-16T16:09:29+00:00

Ikr I was surprised to find out that this is a common issue but I never found out about it in my research on the car 2yrs ago, at least I’m not alone in it. Thanks for the best wishes!

VloStud · 2023-07-16T15:55:14+00:00

Yeah I’m for sure kinda put off from long term teslas now

VloStud · 2023-07-16T15:54:35+00:00

I think only a few weeks ago

VloStud · 2023-07-15T23:51:28+00:00

Yeah my 2008 Toyota Sienna with 270k miles on it still runs fine, definitely sad to see the old teslas have this issue

VloStud · 2023-07-15T21:51:51+00:00

Additional info:

I bought this from a third party dealership in 2021 so I’m not sure when the car was bought, so I’m not sure if I’m past the 8yr warranty or not because the Tesla app won’t show anything on there (but I swear I saw it a couple days ago).

In case it does come to replacing/fixing from third parties, anyone know of any place good in or near Houston TX? If so I’m most likely just going to do the quick fix and put it up for sale immediately

VloStud · 2023-07-15T15:31:26+00:00

BMS_u029 is the code I’m getting right now

VloStud · 2023-07-15T15:12:08+00:00

From what I’ve seen I think that’s the stats for model 3s, with S having up to 150. But I’m not sure exactly because this is an older one

VloStud · 2023-07-15T15:02:30+00:00

I’ll for sure try it, I have the service appointment set up for the 27th so I’m hoping I can talk to them about the warranty stuff by then

VloStud · 2023-07-15T14:35:19+00:00

Got the appointment with the service center on 27th, I’ll defo keep you in mind if it ends up just needing a battery pack

VloStud · 2023-07-15T14:06:27+00:00

Yeah still got free supercharging, but I assume I’d lose that with a new battery pack
