I'm sorry you're having this experience. I've owned 3 Teslas since 2014, and service used to be top notch, until the M3 came along. Since then it's been absolutely abysmal. Offensively bad. I would not buy another Tesla again now, just due to service and QC issues, until they get their act...

I was scheduled to get it done today, but apparently turnaround is more than 24 hours. I wouldn't be able to bring their Enterprise loaner back tomorrow during opening hours, so i had to reschedule for July 28th Would have been nice to find out all of this with a 20-second phone call, but we...

I'm here looking for an answer to the same problem. If it's jsut a loose radar wire, you can get to that area by popping off the plastic cover. I'll try it myself (out of warranty) and report if I find anything

I'm snickering inside - not at your misfortune, but at how right you are. I've owned 3 Teslas since 2014 and everything was great until the M3 scale happened. I wouldn't buy another one now, until they get their act together on service issues like this. I'll truncate the bitching, examples of...

Welcome to Tesla! They are quirky like that.

At least you're getting the charging display. Over half the time my popup window is blank, until I reset. Can't change charging times or limit. Then after resetting it works 1-2 times and I reset it again....

I just charged there on Friday the 5th. Peaked at 108kw It’s behind a guarded gate, you don’t need to be a guest of the hotel. Set your suspension on very high for the driveway leading up to the second level of the garage

It depends. We've been driving Phoenix to SoCal via Tesla since 2014, but recently got a gas car because it's getting impossible to charge anywhere. I mean, not impossible but super inconvenient, especially in CA. Sitting in line for a charging slot, then getting a 34 kw paired charge rate for 2...

We have an S and an X, and I was planning on selling the S for a 3... but just can’t get beyond the looks. My wife and I both think the 3 is ugly. Even the X looks better, and that’s ugly next to the S. White seems to hide the lines a little better, but they’re still so stubby and squat ‍♂️

Well put, and thanks for being so emotionally well-regulated about it ;-)

I would think Tesla plans on battery swapping for their semis, rather than charging them per se? Their swap tech for cars was automated and great, but impractical/inconvenient for car drivers, especially after the battery guard retrofit in 2014.... Would make perfect sense to swap semi batteries...

I would think Tesla plans on battery-swapping for their semis, not charging them per se?

FWIW my AP2 works great on my commute, even in the construction crossover lanes. I'm guessing that Teslas parting with their former head of AI and hiring of Karpathy has something to do with delays in development. I know how hard it can be to find and keep just regular, but good software...

The low-balls are a bit absurd... I think the way to figure it is, if you have around 40K to spend, and you want an S, you see what's available and it might be one with a bunch of miles. So then you figure what it means to have a bunch of miles on a Tesla, and it doesn't mean much since the...

I still haven't sold the car, but I will post the results here because it is an interesting question.... Someone mentioned I would make more by parting it out, yes, a quick check on eBay shows that I probably would :-/ Another option could be driving it to 1,000,000 miles and hoping Tesla buys...
