Sounds like my ex-wife, but once you get in and rev her up, all the negatives disappear into the distance temporarily.

Agreed. I have never owned a new car for 20 years if my adult life. All Japanese cars and not a single unexpected repair. I throughly researched each vehicle and avoided the major flaws. We don’t have this type of hindsight yet with Tesla’s since they are relatively new.

Have you or your attorney read the purchase agreement? I’m inclined to think Tesla has no interest of taking this lemon off of you until legally required. May be time to lawyer up. On a broader scale, Tesla has a debt:equity ratio of 3:2 so they are in no place to be offering goodwill credits...

Sorry to hear and thank you for beta testing

Excess Wear and Use Guide Let us know how it goes. I’m interested to see if they will change the terms and conditions of the lease return as they did my original lease.

That’s because if you’re already calling her your wife, she’s already won the game. Well-drafted pre-nuptial agreements don’t always hold up on court so don’t bother.

It cost me a $100 order fee which they claim is non refundable. I appreciated the time the sales agents spent with me so will probably let them keep it. There’s always the possibility of a chargeback since they did not fulfill the terms of the order agreement, namely following through to sell...

I want to see the final agreement after you submit your application to Finance. Mine is stuck in Finance hell after they gave me these estimates that are non-binding. I submitted my agreed terms and they came back with changed residual (which they did not show on the lease), which increased...

Tesla Marketing team, bravo.

I've been waiting around for Tesla Finance to get back to me back honoring the original lease I agreed to, which they went and increased $12k and then $2k more, all without showing a residual amount (they hid it from the original lease). So I continue to lurk on these forums, excited about the...

Thanks to the Internet, we can all become more aware of situations like our own. Your experience is exactly what’s happening with me. We are in the silent minority because Tesla wants consumers to purchase and bear all the risks, since they cannot subsidize leases like the big boys. It’s not...

The Ford model T began mass production in 1908. The Nissan Leaf in 2010 and Tesla Model S in 2012. So I would argue that in the grand scheme of things, mass production and acceptance of EV are still in the early stages of history and mass adoption.

The answer to your question would require the ability to predict the future. Tesloop has some cars in the 400k mi range so it’s possible to get a lot of miles from a Tesla. However with your particular vehicle, there are too many variables to predict reliably. you could just enjoy the car and...

For a car that retails for over $100k, I would be disappointed with all those issues. Thank you for being a beta tester for the future generations.

This is the attitude that Tesla seems to take: ignore the negative and accentuate the positive. It’s a subtle Jedi mind trick but it works well in this world where many are weak minded.
