yesterday i went into my garage and my model S was off and plugged in on a trip charge. There was a soft wlectricwhining noise I hadn’t heard before. It kind of sounded like the whine you get when the A/C is on all the way but a little different. I took our ICE on the trip, didn’t want to...

glad it’s not just me. I had lots of problems and they seem to have fixed them about a year ago but i am getting more disenchanted with Tesla with this kind of stuff. You spend this kind of money on a car you expect a certain kind of service and it’s just not there any more...it’s going down hill.

when I had questions or concerns for my local service center I used to pick up the phone, dial the number, and just like with my Honda dealership, spoke with my service department within a few seconds. Now...apparently Tesla has changed things and every time I try to talk to someone I can no...

My SVC doesn’t have any problems telling me the history now...wont show me who the previous owner was but they looked up the vehicle records to find out that the car was only in for regular maintenance until I bought it.

Several of y’all know I am horribly frustrated with my Model S by all the repeated trips to the SVC and all thd problems I’ve had, nine trips to the SVC in 15 months and they are not all just little things. The latest is a steering issue that occurs randomly and causes the tension in the...

Congrats! I hope y’all have good luck with your new car. Safe travels.

Unfortunately that’s not true. They have guidelines that they follow for damage. If the damage inside or out is beyond a certain size then they repair it. If it’s not, they don’t. I had several rock dings on my hood at delivery but thy were within the limits considered normal wear and tear...

Yes...I am thinking about options including other vehicles. I wrote a letter to Elon telling him how unhappy I am and I got an email from headquarters saying they understood that I have lost faith in my car and that no one should feel bad for writing and complaining about their car and...

Oh yeah...still having troubles. Right after I got it back from the coolant heater unit and 12 v batt issues I started having the odometer and a scary steering issue. The reboot climate issue happens every time I reset the MCU. The odometer is completely random and yes...I’m figuring it’s a...

That’s one of the problems. I’ve had the slacker issues, my odometer resets to zero randomly, my phone drops calls, the MCU takes a lot longer to fireup at times than it should, And many other things as well. They told me that because they are computers, just like your computer at home, they...

i was told by my SVC to do a hard reset of my MCU and Instrument Cluster all the way to the grey Tesla T weekly to try and help minimize issues. For the past two or three weeks when I reboot the MCU everything comes back up except for the climate system. I have to manually turn it back on. I...

My SVC engineers are trouble shooting multiple issues on my car right now and they confirmed what everyone is saying that it is a Slacker problem and they don’t really know how to fix it yet.

Patience and understanding? I have been patient. Nine trips to the SVC and 35 hours on the road dealing with those issues, I’d say I’ve been MORE than patient and understanding. You need to understand that I am not dealing with just annoyances like paddle door handle roller mechanism shearing...

Or they can have way less miles and tons of problems that can appear at any time. I’ve been in the SVC 9 times for problems in 15 months and right now, in the shop again. my mobile tesla app shows that the frunk and trunk have been open for two days straight which suggests to me they are...

With my 9 trips to the SVC for all the problems I’ve had, I wrote a four page letter to Elon himself detailing everything and letting him know how horribly displeased I am with my car. I got an email from headquarters apologizing and saying that they hoped I would stay a customer because there...

Ninth trip to the trip to the SVC for problems in 15 months. This time we are dealing with more radio and phone connectivity issues, again, my odometer resetting to zero, what seems to be a low powered hvac unit, and scariest of all, a steering problem. When I looked at my mobile tesla app, to...

my SVC recently upgraded my radio/phone to the 4glte connectivity board which fixed some of my problems. One thing That is happening every day, multiple times a day, is my radio will autoswitch stations. I get out of the car listening to something on slacker and when open the drivers door the...

I replaced my Michelin tires last year with the continental ExtremeContact™ DWS06. They were a little less and came with a 50,000 mile warranty. Dry, wet, snow rated not just considered a basic all season. They handle really well in the wet but we have not had any snow this year so I cannot...

Last fall my Portland oregon SVC was out of loaners for over a week and ordered some from the factory. I got A brand new, Saran Wrap still on it, 11 miles on it, Model X P100D. It was so new that the Autopilot hadn’t even calibrated yet. I haven’t seen it again. The loaner fleet rolls over...

If you look at the tesla website of used cars you may find none or only a couple. When I got my CPO there was a page and a half of CPO for sale.

if I were to sell my CPO 16 Model S with 47,000 miles on it to an individual, not Tesla, would the remainder of my extended CPO service warranty go to the new owner or would they only get the balance of the original warranty?

My local SVC can’t keep the loaners in stock...they keep getting purchased. Last fall they had to order some loaners directly from the factory after being without for over a week. I’ve never been without wheels, even If it’s just been for a one day job which is good since I live over an hour away.

Prices seem to vary a LOT lately. The cars, new and used, are flying out of the inventory immediately. Last fall I went to our svc and they hadn’t had any loaners for over a week so they had to order some direct from the factory. I drove a brand new, 11 miles on it, P100D Model X with the...

The firmware updates do take a long time. I have the same problem...more than two hours round trip. I have spent about 35 hours on the road taking mine in for problems. Now they are flat bedding a loaner to me and picking mine up on the flat bed to take back to the SVC tomorrow because as I...

I don’t use easy entry. With all these issues I’ve had I’m trying to limit excessive use on anything. The way I figure it, if you get in and out of the car eight times a Day then you’re moving the steering column and drivers seat way more than they need to be. Door handles are one thing. If...

Glad it’s not just me.

i wasn’t sure if this was happening or not. Over the last few weeks it seemed as if I’d set my temp on my tesla app to one temp and when I got in the car it was something completely different. I have been having a lot of weird electrical problems but tonight just confirmed the temp change. I...

Hi Jaguar36. I’m sorry that my trying to glean some information about my bad experience is causing you heartache. This is what I said to another user that was having similar feelings as you. If I had a patient come in with a balance problem and say to me, “fix it.” I wouldn’t know what to do...

I actually hate MY car now. In the 15 months since I’ve had it I’ve had three door handles snap, had to have the Takata airbag replaced, had to have the connectivity board for both the radio and phone upgraded and replaced and Im still having issues, my car was left 260 miles from home and I...

Lol! Average is a RELATIVE term. My relatives would definitely say my volume level is well beyond 60 dB on average. I’m glad yall are well educated. Safe travels.

The last time I was at the SVC I was told by a tech that your MCU and instrument cluster need to be reset probably weekly because they are just big computers. My MCU has reset itself while driving a few times, it’s one of many problems we are looking into, and they thought that doing the reset...

if I’m parked and waiting for someone to come out of the store or waiting on the kids at their school and I have my Samsung phone in the little tray directly below the MCU I at time will get this weird static, buzzing, interference sound through the speakers. I know the obvious answer, move the...

Update. Three days later and now not only did the Odometer reset to another Zero while driving but at the same time, the instrument cluster (I have the radio information set up to show on the right side) said, "Radio AM 0" Once again it lasted for about 30 seconds before it popped back to...

Any weird things you noticed before that? Mine is CPO but it was local and the previous owner traded it in on a Model X. Apparently he had zero problems with it. Now this weird slack steering thing is just one of several big things going on.

Great! Pardon me while I start spouting four letter words. My car has been in the shop so much and I’m so sick of it. I really hope this isn’t what it is. I may have missed it. How many miles did y’all say you had on it when it went?

Now I’m even more concerned about what I’ve noticed with mine. Three or four times, on surface streets, when I’ve been in a left handed curve with constant pressure on the wheel (wheel set to sport mode) the steering wheel will suddenly, without warning, go slack and my hand dips about ten...

If you can find a good app with good reviews it should give you a fun baseline for comparison. I’m not sure how truly accurate they are but several of the ones I’ve played with seem to be pretty good though I wouldn’t base any scientific evidence off of them since they haven’t been truly...

I hadn’t seen that study. Maybe our education tactics are working. Glad it appears to be dropping.

Good idea. Educate them now and please please please remember....even though you may have hearing loss and some things don’t sound as loud as they used to or maybe not as piercing, you can still damage your ears further from noise exposure so it’s never too late to start using hearing...

It’s actually called “the male recessive gene aka the inability to understand women appropriately.” Lol. I test for it ALL the time. Patient, “my wife says I can’t hear.” Wife glaring at him as he tells me this. Me, “ ok. I will make sure and test for the male recessive, inability to listen...

I’m very glad to hear that. It sounds like y’all are taking lots of smart steps to help preserve your hearing as much as you can. My family and I always have the soft silicone earplugs for movies as well. And let me tell you...the theatres know they’re too loud because if you try to take a dB...

That’s fantastic! That’s exactly what you should be doing around noise. Vaccuums are so darn noisy today that I tell everyone to do everything you can to help protect those ears because once the hearing is gone, it’s gone. It’s probably not necessary to use them with the mixer but if it...

The problem with insert earphones is that when people put them in it blocks any chance that any of the sound will escape from the external auditory meatus or ear canal. It’s simple pressure dynamics, the closer you are to a sound source the greater the pressure coming from that source. As we...

an update. It occurred again on a slight curve and it occurs only in a left handed turn. I think I also discovered it happened on Autopilot and the car started to depart my lane. I had to take over. Emailed the SVC manager tonight. I’ll see what happens.

I am a Doctor of Audiology. What everyone needs to know is that it’s actually the power/loudness of the noise that is dangerous and is measured in decibels, dB. In terms of danger it’s actually the low frequency sounds that are more dangerous so the boomer bass cars are destroying their...

I’ve had connectivity issues with my phone for the whole 15 months I’ve owned the car. My SVC has told me that it’s a known issue with Apples. I have a samsung and am having parts of calls fall out where the other party can’t hear me or I can’t hear them even though I have plenty of 4glte service.

No problem. If we use the info from each other’s bad experiences maybe we can all lick these problems and be happy.

I have nothing but good things to say about the people I have dealt with at the service centers. They have all been very professional, friendly, helpful, and good with communication, and answering questions. My problem is with my car itself. You will find people with lots of problems that are...
