    Driving without seatbelt.

    So? In fact, the cameras are better than your own eyes Thanks for the link. Tesla will never admit to the problem nor allow you to change it. They are doing the CYA dance.

    Driving without seatbelt.

    I didn't get a reply and was directed here to another thread with someone complaining about the same thing. This is simply something Tesla changed in their software and needs top be fixed. Tesla is just doing the old CYA thing and forcing you to buckle up. But as others have said, this is...

    Driving without seatbelt.

    I would like to back out of my garage down my private driveway without my seatbelt connected. If you do not connect the seat belt, the car can come to a sudden stop (almost puts itself in park). I used to be able to do it but now its almost impossible to back out of the garage without the belt...

    Loud "thump" while charging and other times

    Yes, my model 3 does this at times...never when driving it though....very typical when I get in the vehicle at ready to drive. Figured it was just some relay.

    This is what happened to my battery (drain) last night

    Just double checked....heater is not on, its charging and it is the Sun keeping it warm at the moment. Guess I'll have to wait and see; just don't know where 90 miles went in one night.

    This is what happened to my battery (drain) last night

    Was charged at 270miles yesterday. Drove a couple of errands and parked it (not plugged in) with 240 miles left on the battery. Today I tried to "contact" the car to turn on the heat. Phone would not connect. Went out to car, screen would not light up and I "possibly" heard the heater...

    Newly delivered Model 3 with rocker panel damage

    Well I did speak to a lawyer about it. Its a he said she said thing. No way to prove it. She did say she could send them a letter....and that they would probably turn it over to their insurance.....The body shop guy said it happened most likely in transport. Really I would just like to...

    Newly delivered Model 3 with rocker panel damage

    Thanks Daniel. Their lifts move. If you look closely at the floor you can see the marks that the lift leaves.

    Newly delivered Model 3 with rocker panel damage

    Yes, Chris, we posted at the same time, see my explanation above. They don't know that I figured it out. After talking to lawyer I'm calling the owner and saying we have to talk. Maybe it was an accident. Maybe they really didn't know. But the photos? Damaging evidence. It's so obvious.

    Newly delivered Model 3 with rocker panel damage

    Well, I emailed lawyer friend who is familiar with the situation. I sent her the photos and a similar explanation. I'm calling the body shop and asking them to hold off. I'm wondering if the lawyer is just going to tell me to turn it into the car insurance and they can investigate. Those...

    Newly delivered Model 3 with rocker panel damage

    here is another image with the silver line showing the lift is too high as it went towards the front of the car. Again shot from the font. The lift was coming in the opposite direction.

    Newly delivered Model 3 with rocker panel damage

    Sorry thought it was obvious, but you are right. There is a shinny silver wheel in the front of the lift in the exact place the damage occurred. They had the lift too high when they rolled it under. Here is another photograph with the imprint of the wheel where the damage starts. Your...

    Newly delivered Model 3 with rocker panel damage

    I got to set things straight. although we have posted a lot on Tesla's quality issues and they sure do have them....I have concluded that it was not Tesla that did the damage to my car. I'm going to post another image and tell me whats wrong. When I looked at the damage there was a...
