This part is called PCS (Power Conversion System). This device attached to the Tesla battery is used to convert power from a charger which is AC (household alternating current) into DC (Direct Current) the battery can understand.  This error appeared for the first time on [XXX] at [XXX].  This critical part has failed in thousands of Tesla vehicles, some multiple times easily verified by thousands of customer complaints online.  The PCS is NOT a consumable part - such as a tire, wiper blades, brake pads, etc.  There is nothing the vehicle Owner can do to prevent the PCS failure.    The Cost to repair/replace the PCS part(s) is ~ $3,000 and may fail again after replacement.  As required by Tesla, I scheduled a service appointment through their phone app, and received an estimate of ~$280.00 to repair my vehicle on June 26, 2025 at the Irvine, CA Tesla Service Center 2801 Barranca Pkwy.    After diagnosis, I was informed the cost to fix/repair the PCS part in my vehicle so that I could charge and drive it, would be ~$3,000.  The Manager Ryan Sutherland (949) 404-2989, further stated the repair would not be covered under my Vehicle Tesla Warranty (Tesla battery or drive unit warranty that does not expire until [XXX]).  I tried to contact Tesla corporate for assistance at resolutions@tesla.com and did not receive a response but instead was contacted by service manager Ryan Sutherland via email confirming Tesla's warranty position.  Tesla is essentially the only service/repair resource available for these vehicles.  This repair is obviously due to a faulty/defective PCS or faulty design by Tesla affecting thousands of vehicles and should covered under my vehicle warranty so that it can be driven.
