Conclusion for this year
I had a lot of maintenance costs this year (7.843€) of which the biggest portion was taken by this issue :
Airco – Replacement of compressor + DC2DC convertor : 3.950,39 €
So here’s the story. The climate control of the car failed working in the spring. I scheduled a maintenance and it seemed that he AC compressor had short circuited. Result, broken AC compressor + a fuse in the DC 2 DC convertor fuse box. Too bad that the DC2DC convertor part that was installed on my classic Model S was replaced in the later models and the fuses in it were no longer available. The only solution was to replace the DC 2 DC convertor. So a non available fuse of a couple of euro’s resulted in a DC2DC convertor replacement of 2.201,65€. Luckily Tesla dropped the man hours.
This caused my running costs to raise from 0.11€/km to 0,16€/km on average for the whole 160.000km.
