I have now argued with the service centre to repair my Tesla model 3 roof panel/s for the third time since buying my car in dec 2019.
Each time a small u shape fracture appears on the edge of the glass panels that then has a crack grow from the middle point. A divit appears in the middle of the u where the crack splits off. Each time they try to tell me that the divot causes the problem and that this has to be caused by impact but let’s be honest - car is kept undercover, no dints, no problems. These cracks randomly appear from no impacts, always at the edge of the glass. Usually in Qld hot weather (no idea if this is important info)
Have now had two on the roof panel and one on the rear glass panel.
They are repairing on warranty but for me I’m worried the car is going to do this multiple times every year and it won’t be covered. Every time it is a huge challenge to get them to acknowledge it isn’t from an impact.
They don’t acknowledge how common this appears to be in forums.
I would like to know if my car is a lemon and has a bigger issue to deal with other than replacing the panels each time.
Anyone else having these issues repeatedly ? How did you deal with?
