    Magically disappearing 4 year/ 50k Used S Warranty

    It’s all quite confusing as Tesla have changed their warranty over the years, and the wording. When I bought my car, CPOs were being sold with a 4 year/50k warranty which started on taking delivery, and thus is a used car warranty rather than the basic car warranty. In the app it stated Oct 23...

    Magically disappearing 4 year/ 50k Used S Warranty

    It’s been sorted now and Tesla updated my warranty. Just for info. This is the statement used by sales rep:

    Magically disappearing 4 year/ 50k Used S Warranty

    Not a clue on the opt out bit. I suppose I wasn’t really challenging a New Vehicle warranty, as that includes the drive unit and battery; its more so the 4 year basic, as thats what was referenced in the loaner/demo doc. The way it was explained to me is that mis-representation had occurred in...

    Magically disappearing 4 year/ 50k Used S Warranty

    Yip. Pics below of what I got. Basic Vehicle Warranty is a part of the New Vehicle warranty. The Loaner/ ex demo document references the car being protected by the Basic vehicle warranty which as per the other info, is 4 years/50k. Does not reference a New Vehicle Warranty.

    Magically disappearing 4 year/ 50k Used S Warranty

    Sorry to resurrect but I’m currently going through the rigmaroles of sorting a warranty issue. I bought a 69plate M3 back in July 2020. It was a ex demonstrator car, 9 months old, 8k on the clock. Loaner / ex demo document indicates the car Benefitted from a Basic Vehicle Warranty at purchase...

    Headlight alignment screwed up after software update.

    Yer, it’s on the rear left suspension. Appears intact. It’s strange as just says not available, but, it doesn’t flag any user alerts. It’s only visible in the service mode under “service alerts”

    Headlight alignment screwed up after software update.

    Mine went out of a few weeks back, after a service appointment. They did also apply an update so it could have been that. However, something I noticed when in service mode, was a service alert re the ride height calibration sensor not being available and it affecting headlight levelling. I’m...

    [UK]2022.4

    To me, this 2022.4 update seems to have decreased the regen strength used in normal driving. The car is not slowing up as quickly as it used too. Just been for first drive after the update and found it very odd.

    Milton Keynes SC

    My Car has just been in, and has got to go back and they could only book it from the 14th Feb onwards - I am not too pleased considering they were supposed to sort everything out at the visit yesterday, and one of the issues that now needs sorting, they caused - technician was replacing my tail...

    Dashcam failure when needed!

    As an update. Tesla MK have come back to me and advised that during the time my car got hit, certain parts of my car had gone into a deep sleep mode, which prevented Sentry from working as it should. This is apparently a known issue on certain cars, and senior engineers are looking into it, and...

    Octopus Tesla and Powerwall

    So basically I need another powerwall. I’m not sure an Eddie will reap reward as in theory my main excess solar is during Summer, but I have solar thermal which gets us about 70 degree hot water everyday from may to September. I know Tesla are brining out a new charger so maybe that will have...
