Kind of a bummer Tesla didn't use a battery carrier like what is used desktop computers for easier replacement down the line.
Given that your car was able to come READY after doing multiple power cycles, I would prefer to take the car home and use it instead of leaving it for weeks at the dealer. However, I am willing to take the chance that I will be stranded somewhere because I have multiple family members available to help me out of a jam on short notice.Dsinned said:My 2012 went to the dealer this morning (as Toyota instructed via the "Check EV System" warning message on the I/P) for a preliminary troubleshooting investigation. The Gateway ECU had a history code, U1146, "Communications Malfunction in Gateway ECU". They cleared it, and the service dep't called "TAS" for further information. No reply today, so apparently Toyota is STILL NOT TAKING THIS ISSUE VERY SERIOUSLY. To wit, after I had a long chat with the Service Manager, expressing my concern, I was told to pick up my car, drive it home like normal, and wait for a followup call hopefully later this week. In other words, my dealer, like all the others, appears to be rather clueless in how to resolve this potentially very serious problem at this time.
So what kind of loaner did they give you?ocdxfv said:I asked my service adviser if I could take it home and drive it till the parts come in and he said no. I guess they are worried about liability if I stall in traffic and cause an accident.

This is a week *after* i got firmware 1.3.83 installed in my car...
And a really weird thing happened:
- the check-ev thing came on
- the "turtle" came on and the range reset to LO (but the battery segments were still showing full (85%) charge). I had just fully charged the car about 5 miles earlier.
- then the GOM *counted* from "LO" all the way back up to the correct range (about 88 miles at that point), my last full charge had been to 93.
- when i got home, the car started charging as normal.
Weird.
Anyway i'm taking it over to the dealer so they can dump the codes tomorrow morning. Unless they tell me to, i think i'm going to keep using the car while they get whatever replacement part they're going to order.
