After several months after I took delivery of a M3 LR Dual Motor, the left side door developed a rattle that sounded like a loose screw. Due to the Covid-19 and California Stay Home order, I did not try to bring it in thinking I have 3 years plus warranty to address it. I recently made an appointment to bring it in and was told Rattle Noise is only covered under a 1 year 12,000 miles warranty and a $195 Diagnostic Fee will be charged. This is the first I heard of such a think. I searched the official website at Tesla for the Warranty information and I could not see such term.
Loose screws or panel or whatever unusual noises in the car is considered a defect in workmanship. It is amazing Tesla would single out this issue and apply a secret warranty term.
Are members aware of this? Since I am only 13 months into the warranty period, I am going to fight it especially for months I was not able to bring the car in for service due to Stay Home order.
