Honestly! Haven't been paying much attention to Tesla news recently...(like a year now)

Would you have the source for this?

Trust

Car is finally sold at a fair price. I feel so relieved. I never believed I could get so much frustrated by a car. Will now make sure I will never do the same mistake and will try to protect as many people as I can.

This is who you trusted everyone. Enjoy every bit of it:

I find it so impressive that some of you guys are looking for battery replacements and stuff like that. I just want to sell the car and get done with this shitty company once and for all.

Can't wait to buy the Plaid huh? 😁 Take it to Tesla, it has the best resale value of any car anyway. They should buy it at a good price.

We will certainly do so. Will leave the Tesla magic for others

I honestly would not call the car exceptional. Not anymore. I think about it like this: Imagine you buy a Nissan GTR with say 500hp. You can easily tune it to 900hp. Could Nissan deliver it to you right from the beginning with 900hp? Of course they could, but they don't. So a car that holds its...

An on top, make sure that no-one who asks you about it, buys one as well. Not of course that they have not already established themselves as a low-medium quality manufacturer with a pimp attitude, but lets make sure we make it super clear to any poor guy who looks like us, but 5 years ago

The only one I need, to be able to sell it and not care ever again

One (recall) down, one to go...

I did see a small improvement, but not much. V3 does make a difference indeed. When plugged in I saw 125Kw, which is even more than the 'before capping' 117Kw I was getting. Still though the charging curve is aggressively dropping and it still charges slower than before. So from 50 minutes for a...

You are going through the four stages of grief buddy. Unfortunately, the more you will think of it, the more you will realise that this has ALWAYS been Tesla. With pretty lies, they got us trapped to get them where they are and now that they are self sustained and do not need us anymore, they...

Nope. Tesla does not want to do the right thing. If they did, they would not be doing this for 1.5 years now. I am not bargaining what is already mine and that someone has temporarily stolen from me. I want it back, so that I can raise the middle finger and then see them pay. For one, I am...

That's ok. We just want to see Tesla lose

Can he buy mine as well?

Agree to all except to the settlement deal. What Tesla thinks has the right to do, is simply unheard of in the world of automotive. Never before, safety reason, warranty reason or otherwise, has a car manufacturer downgraded a car like this during ownership, either during or after its warranty...

This is all very cute, but the truth of the matter is that Tesla has treated us early owners like livestock and is pretending that everything is fine. There is no debate here. It is us, trying to protect ourselves from what turned out to be a shitty corporation. I don't care if it is dendrites...

For me too. Up until I get the Taycan next year, right after when I am able to get rid of this piece of crap/best city car in human history that Tesla has been forcing me to drive since 2019/06

I admire the fact that you still have faith in them and still want to somehow help them. But the truth is that they don't deserve it. Even VW, when they got busted, they didn't really fight it back and started paying big money. Tesla will not and as long as there is no final judgment, there is...

It is trully unbelievable, isn't it? It is one thing to argue against statements and assumptions that have not (yet) been proven and another to deny an obvious issue. Some comments in here imply that many of us are on serious drugs and are just hallucinating. Another 'reasonable' explanation is...

Good for them. We don't care.

No high expectations, nor will I accept any kind of mitigation if I hear one. I am curious though to hear what they have to say. I wish I didn't have to get into the twilight zone, with all the wild theories that are running in my head, but it is Tesla we are talking about. Zero trust.

Could be. I did reply back, so now I will just wait and see what happens. Will keep you posted.

I got a very interesting sms from Tesla yesterday (Netherlands). I think they also tried to contact me by phone, but I couldn't take the call so I only have the sms. 5 months after raising the complaint about batterygate/chargegate and after Tesla replied the usual 'there is nothing wrong with...

Tesla did damage its customers when they decided to downgrade these batteries while they were still in their warranty period, without any permission or notification. That is beyond doubt, they did it. The fact that they updated their warranty terms to be covered against similar cases, only means...

That would be Tesla's wet dream. How about paying another Model S to lawyers though? Now that sounds better to my ears. Tesla has been successful enough to buy itself time, so that desperate owners who feel hopeless, just give up, or are just afraid to go after Tesla. And the batterygated cars...

Ah ok. No, I got mine Dec 2015. No excuse for Tesla for my car then :)

We will, once Tesla, one way or the other, takes responsibility and fully fixes our cars and compensates us for the 12+ months that is forcing us to live with inferior and potentially dangerous cars, that is the first thing we will do.

So Audi is recalling almost 600000 mild hybrid cars, due to the risk of fire. Imagine that!

Funny, I don't remember getting such a letter. I can only recall an automagical drop out of nowhere :)

That is a great plan indeed. I have also been thinking of supercharging my car to death :) Tesla has communicated this though and based on their disclaimer, I would totally accept a drop of supercharging speed after a serious amount of supercharging sessions. But what is happening here does not...

We kind of suspect what happened of course. The point though is to prove it. That we cannot do on our own for all affected cars, we need country level investigations for that.

Will surely do. I also live in the Netherlands. I need more time though to kick start this whole topic on the level it needs to be escalated. The pandemic surely does not help the timeline though. I personally do not agree with the approach to just complain to Tesla, or even do a minor legal...

I cannot. I live in Europe. Have a different path ahead of me

They told me the same when I sent them the video of my car charging at max 60kw (from 116Kw) under ideal conditions. I even included these ideal conditions in that video. They did tell me this though: We see that your charging speed has decreased because of the revised settings to protect your...

You are honestly wasting your time. Lawsuits and investigations is the only way

I envy you for being able to take this so well. I also just cannot wait to move on, but I feel that someone has robbed my house and is now enjoying free drinks in Bora Bora. It is like a bee in my ear driving me mad...

You forget those of us that just want their car back so that they can sell it and never have to hear the name Tesla ever again :)

I see. I really need to rip out the sim card immediately...

Did you do any updates to get these 2 changes?

We want nothing from Tesla for free. We demand what we paid for. The 600 page TMC thread for this issue gives a good indication on how many owners are affected. Some will indeed do nothing. Others will try to get to the bottom of it though. Once again if Tesla has done nothing wrong and have not...

People may be long Tsla and have a different feeling about this. It is ok, it does not make any difference. Most of us though are just customers that do not own or short any stock. If you have financial interest, you will of course disagree with someone who is against that interest, regardless...

That is true. Impact of the Dieselgate does not even compare to what Tesla has done here. That does not change the fact that both of them have broken a series of laws though. I will also buy only EVs from now on for the same reason, but they will simply not have the Tesla logo on them. For now...

Yes, exactly. And that is why I believe Tesla actually does have a chance getting away with this in the US. NHTSA is asking for a lot of things from Tesla and seems to be serious about it, but it is essentially looking for battery defects. If they can prove dendrites or lithium plating or...

That's perfectly fine. Whatever it takes. I prefer paying another model S to them, than let Tesla steal from me in front of my face. It's not ok to steal stuff from people. It just ain't. I did not pay for the car I am driving, nor is my property some rollercoaster that Tesla has any right...

It is self-evident isn't it? I find it ridiculous that people are willing to support Tesla over this. Don't think everyone understands just how many laws are being violated here. VW cheated big time, they got busted and that was it. Here, Tesla won't even admit that something is wrong, even...

Don't worry. We know what needs to be done here in Europe. It goes much further than NHTSA just investigating a safety concern with no evidence other than a self-convicting statement from Tesla itself. There is a European organization for everything here. Vehicle fire safety is just one aspect...

We have also been very kind for a long time with Tesla here in Europe about this topic. Time for them to prove that what they have done is perfectly legal.
