    Trouble getting refund from Tesla

    Tesla messed up my registration here in NY, they put me under the wrong address completely. My DL & Forms I filled online had the correct address. It caused my plates to go to the wrong place, I had to fix everything myself and they promised to reimburse the various forms and fees. They kept...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    If your within lemon law still, file. If not, since your NY find out your small claims max amount and sue for that if it'll make you happy to live with the issue. Tesla doesn't show up so they can't say anything about the arbitration, you'll get a default judgement and they'll pay. Otherwise you...

    Tesla is buying back my lemon plaid

    All states lawyers fees are included in the settlement so you lose 0.

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    I have this now, the original tech said this problem must have existed since near new and only gotten worse to the point of being noticable. The tech replaced the entire weather seal and only made the problem worse. Now at 50-80mph it basically sounds like the passenger window is cracked down a...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    In NY you'd have hit 4 repairs or 30 days out of service which is lemon. Reach out to a lemon firm and if they've done Tesla before they'll know the process. Tesla hopes you try for arbitration yourself but if a lemon law firm is behind your case they'll wait for it to be filed then agree to buy...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    The Lemon firm filed for arbitration, shortly after (A week?) Tesla opted to buy back the vehicle. Although it's now been a little over 3 weeks and we haven't heard from them but that's normalish. I'm even happier the car is gone, Tesla did something to change the auto-wipers making them...

    Wipers activating unexpectedly, even on a bright sunny day.

    Came outside after it rained and car was on auto, it wiped the ran off the windshield and just kept going and going even with no water on the windshield at all and it wasn't even raining. I had to turn it off then re-enabled it and it stopped going. I think there's some sensitivity issue or...

    One more totaled or not? How to fight insurance? [OP reports totaled 12.19.2022]

    I've literally worked on claims where we total out a car due to part delay. You can get away with a 3 month delay MAYBE if we're nice but otherwise we'd be filing in court for our client if they refuse to total before that.

    Tesla has agreed to buy my M3P back after filing for lemon so that's all she wrote.

    One more totaled or not? How to fight insurance? [OP reports totaled 12.19.2022]

    It is in most states, lack of parts is the reason for total loss.

    One more totaled or not? How to fight insurance? [OP reports totaled 12.19.2022]

    I work with fighting Insurance companies all the time. There's zero way in the US that's repairable using a Non-DRP (Not insurance preferred shop). Bring it to a shop of your choice that DOES NOT work with any insurance company. (You can see that usually on their website or walking in). The...

    Same issue, and when its pouring out the wipers are auto wiping at a snails pace.

    Condensation in rear lights

    And if the light fails or anything they'll blame you for modifying it and refuse to pay out. I'll tell em to fix my $70k M3P.

    Condensation in rear lights

    I noticed when putting in my request once again for another DL Taillight that is fogging up awfully that it prompts me to answer "Does it go away within an hour of driving", I need to go now drive for an hour and verify it goes away? I sent a photo and it was approved for warranty replacement...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    My driver side tail-light is fogging up nasty again after any type of rain and I submitted a photo and they approved the request. My steering wheel also once again the leather is coming loose/bunching from the underside and they said they had to further inspect it before approving warranty. No...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    They said it could be fixed at a mobile visit then the guy showed up only to refer me to a service center instead. They did a "meh" job and had to bring it back again

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    Mine was similar in the rear being all misaligned, Took a couple of realignments to get right.

    Tesla Sold Me A Wrecked M3 As New

    I think the fact the rep is either unaware of laws surrounding new cars and damage prior to being sold or admitting Tesla doesn't report damage as per some state laws is a bigger deal here that shouldn't be ignored.

    Tesla Delivery Center requesting two checks for delivery pickup instead of one.

    My CU allows for this, they either deposit money into your account and create one check or formerly they used a bank holding account to do so.

    Tesla Sold Me A Wrecked M3 As New

    That's the same type of agreement that means nothing like if you signed your life away to me. The issue is that Carfax doesn't get held accountable in court because if they refuse to remove something and you sue them they'll end up settling with you to remove the data item and not admitting by...

    Tesla Sold Me A Wrecked M3 As New

    OP may only want a replaced vehicle that wasn't in a serious accident but in reality Tesla won't just hand that over. It's been well documented they are EXTREMELY stingy and only respond to actual litigation unless there is a MASSIVE news round on an issue. OP can go call and try but if I had...

    Tesla Sold Me A Wrecked M3 As New

    OP would be looking for punitive damages as well due to the fraud basis which at minimum would buy him another cheaper car while he waits for another Tesla. Cheapest option would be Tesla letting him keep this car while waiting for a new one to arrive and swap, but I don't think they'll be smart...

    Tesla Sold Me A Wrecked M3 As New

    The major point of New vs Used is the bill of sale. If that document says New, OP has a case. Most states have a disclosure for any damage over X dollars when New cars are damaged.

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    Posted it in my thread but I'm currently requesting my FOURTH spoiler for my 2022 M3P. The 3rd one shortly after install already began separating from the trunk and not because of poor adhesion but the 3M tape seems to just be ripping apart from the spoilers curvature pulling away from the body...

    Spoiler Defective...Again

    Just as an update, I am now on my 4th request for a spoiler. The 3rd one is now popping off and on a service request today in which they were replacing the steering wheel they were suppose to replace the spoiler but it's "Back-ordered" now with no known date. Gonna give it a week. The failures...

    Spoiler Defective...Again

    I know how to do it but asking how the OEM one is put on as I've seen posts mentioning tape but not if it was aftermarket or OEM they were installing/removing. I'm not paying/putting effort into something Tesla needs to resolve but want to make sure the service center is doing it the right way...

    Spoiler Defective...Again

    Took delivery of my M3P a few months ago and the spoiler's clear was failing and they sent a mobile guy out and he said it had to go to a physical location. They replaced and had to be serviced again since the glue was leaking out of the spoiler. Now the new one is loose and can move it with my...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    Dropped my vehicle off for service a few days ago, They estimate 8 days to fix my list of stuff and are "investigating" the lowered suspension issue. My car sits as high as a regular model (slightly higher actually).

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    If anyone wants to know, The final answer I got from Tesla (and is recorded) that to his knowledge M3P's still come lowered but they are "constantly updating their vehicle". They said there is no further options and refused to give specs of what height a M3P should sit and zero compensation. So...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    This is the issue of no dealer network, Your direct with corporate so if they say no your boned. Tesla continues to ignore the lowered suspension part of my service receipt and at this point I'll be filing with my lawyer for at minimum the cost of the Performance package. I literally have voice...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    Took delivery a couple of weeks ago, compared to my first delivery of my M3P this one is a mess. 1) Doesn't have the lowered suspension when I ordered back in Dec. Measurements show my car is slightly higher than even your average Model 3 Standard as well which is annoying. Service and Delivery...

    Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY

    Got a call back, Guy said he has no idea why the car isn't coming lower and it should have. I mentioned the whole lowered suspension being removed off the website and he has no idea. The registration he said the address was right and when I asked him to repeat it to me I saw it was wrong. He...

    Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY

    Measured mine at just over 28.5" on the fronts and just over 29" in the rears. , I received a phone call from Tesla today regarding this and they said it never said on '22MY M3P's that it got lowered suspension and to take it up with the delivery team regarding this. They stated as per NYS Law...

    Condensation in rear lights

    So they should find another supplier. Took delivery of my 2022 M3P this Saturday and my passenger tails fog up like crazy. Scheduled an appointment and it's a month out lol. If it's reasonable enough a cop pulls you for them cause they are useless at night it's a serious enough defect for lemon...

    Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY

    Then there's something crazy with my M3P because mine has gotten numerous comments now from other friends owning it where it looks like there are shipping blocks still on my suspension due to the height. I didn't measure but already have the delivery team reaching out for "resolution" of the...

    Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY

    Yep so took delivery of my '22. Compared to my '21 thing sits noticeably higher. Sucks big time. Put in a service request as changing this after I ordered is unacceptable. Thought the foggy passenger taillight would be my only worry.

    Lost it in an accident.

    Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY

    So yeah, Tesla rep confirmed my car won't come lower then an LR or whatever which overall sucks. I liked the height on my 21 and don't want to do aftermarket. Hoping it's as minimal as people say.

    Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY

    This sucks, I drive sports cars primarily and like my '21's M3P's feel. I'll send a text today if I can test drive this before cause it's ridiculous they just change things mid order.

    Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY

    Whats up with the suspension? Apparently 22 M3P's don't get the "Sportier suspension" and it was removed from the order

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    So this monday after being 02/18-03/18 I went to 02-14/02-24 then later that day I got a text saying my car was being built and then it moved to 02/04-02/07 and delivery is now this saturday. (OD 12/3)

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    A few of us in the Mt Kisco location over the weekend got a call and email about our EDD's 02/18-03/18 saying our cars would be built soon. Makes no sense with an EDD 1-2 months away.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    It makes sense for Non-P models that were ordered 6+ months ago to be getting VIN's finally. When people are posting their M3P was ordered a week ago and has an EDD a month earlier then us who ordered in December is just like a bunch of us who ordered in early Dec and were told end of year...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    The fact that people here are ordering there cars well after a month after some of us early December guys and getting EDD's earlier then us is a red flag.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    12/3 order now a 02/18-03-18 order. Seriously annoying that my EDD is more then an estimate but just a random date range.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    Wouldn't be surprised if Tesla is asking because of people who just prior to delivery are going "oh yeah my trade" esp with deliveries being so wildly off right now.
