This has happened to me twice and it was the 12v battery that died. Frustrating that there was no warning beforehand. And Tesla was no help. They said it was a software issue that I’ve had to replace my battery twice in my 2019 car. Sad that this is the Achilles heel in a high tech car. Each...

This happened to my new 2019 Model X at 400 miles after delivery. Car was in the service center for over a month. In the end, they said it was a bad drive unit and it was replaced. Frustrating experience, but it's been good for the last 36,000 miles. I am having issues with my 12v batteries...

I know you’re excited, as was I when I got mine. But resist the temptation to just take it. It’s a $100,000 car and it should not look like that. I am guilty of making excuses for Tesla at times. But this is not acceptable. If you keep this car for 8 years for the life of the battery warranty...

If you don’t plan on getting aftermarket wheels, I recommend getting the two tone. They look so much better than the stock rims. It’s an optical illusion and makes the wheel look so much bigger. Kind of like trimming the bush to make the tree look bigger ! If you do plan on getting aftermarket...

Thanks for the words of support guys. They have had the engineers ‘diagnosing’ the car for 5 business days now and still no solution. With a short week next week, I don’t see a resolution by next week being likely. I did ask about the possibility of exchanging vehicles but it was a no go since...

My new 2019 Raven Model X has been working fine mechanically. This morning, my wife went to start it and got the dreaded ‘Car shutting down, pull over safely’ notice. I tried a hard reboot and nothing. Called roadside assistance and they took 4 hours to get back to me! Ran OTA diagnostics and...

I had a home delivery and it wasn’t the most fun experience. I was told that my vehicle was coming on a particular day by the delivery specialist. It was going to be delivered to my detailer’s shop to get PPF installed. So I patiently waited all day and never got a call. Emailed Tesla at the...

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I’m in Tulsa too! Tech told me they are looking to have a service center in Oklahoma City ‘soon’. Of course, ‘soon’ can mean a lot of things in Tesla speak. Good to hear Tesla is at least willing to work with you to have repairs done locally. I’ll hold off on my...

Has anyone convinced Tesla to reimburse them for auto body adjustments done at a non-Tesla authorized facility? Just bought my new X and my hood fits horribly. Mobile tech adjusted it but it looks the same. Told me to make an appt at the service center. Problem is, the nearest center is 4 hours...

Ok. Glad I’m not crazy. I was showing how cool that feature was to my family in my brand new X. Looked like a fool when it wouldn’t open multiple times. Kept running away and running back to no open door. Lol. I can’t even find it in the menu anymore to turn it on or off. Guess it went away...

Original pics got all messed up. Here’s the hood and door.

Also, is everyone else’s rear fender welds this ugly?

Got my brand new Raven and I am ecstatic that I seemed to have gotten a good one. No major mechanical issues so far... <knocks on wood>. But what I do have is just horrendous fit and finish. The most noticeable is the utter misalignment of the hood. I have no idea how this for past their...
