    My Feb 2022 Model 3 LR's rear motor just failed. Less than 6k miles on it. :(

    Call it what you like. It was in the midst of our dog nearly dying, trying to leave to get to the vet hospital, and it was terrifying to suddenly have a car not drive forward, go into reverse, and have flashing lights going off. All I could think was that I was grateful we were not at a high...

    That is what the first Tesla person told me it was. I have since talked with the tesla service person assigned to my car, and he said that after technicians had a look, that it is "failed rear drive INVERTER", and not motor as the first Tesla person had told me via phone.

    I hope it is a simple fix! The strange thing is that it would no longer drive forward, nor go in reverse. No, our dog nearly did though, which is why I was not back on here. Luckily we were able to get him in for emergency surgery, and he is recovering.

    Yes, I hear you. The problem is that it would not drive forward or in reverse. It just froze. It would not shift, but it did still steer. Tesla told me not to drive it, and to have it towed to them, which I did. Two weeks later, I have a loaner car from them, no diagnosis that anyone has...

    My Feb 2022 Model 3 LR's rear motor just failed. Less than 6k miles on it. :(

    Two weeks later, my car is still sitting at the Tesla service center and nothing has happened. My repair progress status just says "waiting for parts". They did give me a loaner car, which I appreciate. This happened as we were about to drive 1.5 hours to pick up our dog after emergency...

    I am so sad. I picked up my model 3LR last year in Feb 2022, and I have all of 5,678 miles on it. Yesterday my husband and I went to pick our dog up from emergency surgery, and as he backed out of the garage, we saw a warning light then heard a loud "thunk!". Thank god we were not on a...

    I got my VIN on the beginning day of my 7th EDD, and I too was expecting a push back. You might get it today. Fingers crossed for you!

    Mine changed about 4 times in the final week before I got the VIN. And I got the VIN and took delivery the same day. Many changes without a huge shift in date range is goooood :)

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

    Does anyone happen to know how long they tend to keep your car when they adjust panel gaps? Do they offer loaner cars? I got the service request approval, and $0 charge for the estimate and it referenced loaner cars. I've only had this car since Tuesday night, and it's my first Tesla, so not...

    I am taking it in next week, and they will be adjusting. I sent the pictures to my SA and he agreed it needed it. Thanks!

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

    Hey hey :) Trying to assess what's normal, vs not normal with panel gaps! Picked my car up last night, and today noticed a few things. Does the Frunk usually have a decent gap? And, one area toward rear passenger window looks especially large to me? For those who have had these serviced...

    Those are them :) You should get $5500 in rebates on the car, plus $400 towards wall charger and cost of installation (up to 2k) with those. :)
