    Filing Formal Complaint: 057 Technology Battery Plans

    The process was the same for me - I created the ticket and got the email with the link to the ticket, but there was no response from 057 Companies staff to either the initial request or the follow-up "it's been more than 30 days" message.

    Filing Formal Complaint: 057 Technology Battery Plans

    A specific grievance I could make is that 057 Companies (the invoicing company for the HV Battery Service Plan) did not provide a pro-rated refund within the 30 day window noted in the cancellation terms after I provided written notice (as I had sold the vehicle the Service Plan was attached to).

    Vendor Tesla Model S Battery Extended Service Plans from 057 Technology

    Potential errors in the above timeline with post as reference: a) Jason/057Tech linkage. The employment agreement snippet provided shows he was an employee of 057 Companies. b) The status of 057Tech. The wording "057 Technology is long gone" was used.

    Vendor Tesla Model S Battery Extended Service Plans from 057 Technology

    The email links for my support ticket where I requested a pro-rated cancellation refund after selling my Model S no longer work. I presume the ticket server went offline the same time 057tech.com went offline (since the sender of those email links was contact @ 057tech.com).

    Claiming your 2023 Tax Credit

    Since my last update, I received the postal mail "here's the info to verify your identity" notice and went through those steps. I'm now hopefully in the "2-9 weeks to process your return" window, and still waiting to see if the tax credit is applied on the first try or held back as others have seen.

    Vendor Tesla Model S Battery Extended Service Plans from 057 Technology

    When I got home and was able to look at my saved copy of the invoice PDF, I confirmed the invoicing title and logo on the QuickBooks-generated invoice from an ESP purchased on 23Jun2023 were also using the new company name.

    Filing Formal Complaint: 057 Technology Battery Plans

    I wonder what would be the response to purchasers of the HV Service Plan after 057 Companies LLC acquired the assets from 057 Technologies LLC? I believe I fall in this camp, as my credit card statement clearly shows "057 Companies LLC". I'm guessing a different-but-the-same answer of "you did...

    MY erroneously listed as salvage. Supercharging disabled and warranty voided

    There is a Wiki article explaining a VIN check calculation at <Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN codes)/Check digit - Wikibooks, open books for an open world>. FWIW it matches my vehicles so I don't doubt the method. My math brain isn't working well this morning, so I'm not sure if there's a...

    Claiming your 2023 Tax Credit

    For me, after 21 days of sitting at "received but not yet approved", the Where's My Refund tool updated it's answer to "we will need to verify your identity; look for a letter from the IRS in your postal mail." Still waiting on that letter to arrive after 10+ days. Based on other's experiences...

    Claiming your 2023 Tax Credit

    This update helps give context - I'm at day 19 of "EFile Return Accepted, Refund Not Yet Approved" and was wondering what timelines others were seeing.

    How is ownership defined by Tesla for maintaining SC05?

    Personally I have a MY with SC05 via the "FUSC to FSC" offer from Q42023. The verbiage from that agreement was, "The transferred free Supercharging will be active while you remain the owner of the new vehicle. If you sell or otherwise transfer ownership of the new vehicle, the transferred free...

    Failed driver's seat weight sensor - downsides to ignoring? Repair cost estimate?

    I no longer own the Model S with the issue, but for posterity, can you post the part number and your vehicle's info? I can't remember exactly what the Tesla rep said but I thought the seat sensor was made its own part in the 2016 (2017?) seat generations, so the current part available for sale...

    Need help deciding which Tesla to sell

    Instead of estimated KBB values, get an actual sale valuation from CarMax/Carvana/Vroom/etc. to understand the pricing floor you may be facing to help the decision process. EDIT: Just learned Vroom went out of business yesterday.

    Accident on 1st Day :(

    TX case law precedent recognizes both Diminished Value and Loss of Use, and unlike other states that only allow recovery of Loss of Use actuals, no expenditures are required (e.g. you aren't punished for not having a rental car while repairs are being performed if you couldn't afford one)...
